LUKE M'LukE SAYS


 4 man often has better hat at home than the one he is wearing down town. But it is different with a woman.
 You could argue all day. But you couldn't get a woman to believe that anything that is cheap isn't a bargain. Palmistry may be all right for young folks. But the wrinkles in the face will tell more than the lines in the hands. An egg never gets so old that res- taurant chef cant manage to use it in an omelet
 Any old time a man goes home and sees d cloud his wife's brow. he knows that there is going to be storm. Barbers are smart men and know the value of flattery. That is why they shave and ask bald headed man if he wants a haircut.
 After a man has helped raise a half dozen of them he realizes that the best way to train your children is to let your wife do it for you
 Once in while you will run into a male thing who is such perfect lady that you wonder why he isn't accom- panied by a chaperone.
 Every now and then man decides to take better care of himself. And he sticks to his resolution until breakfast time next morning.
 Some men act the same way over saw ing dollar as other men do over hav- ing tooth pulled
 Men have enough respect for women to know that the man who poses as a Don Juan is merely a Damliar. Go into any home in which there is a cheesy- looking old piano and y2u'll learn that they wouldn't swap it for d new one because 1t has such sweet tone.

been at the call of those who needed him. He has gone out into the highways and byways to extend a helping hand to the unfortunate and to cheer with spiritual blessing. His piety and his benevolence have been gracious influence. Thousands of people, many of them met on the streets or in desolate homes, shadowed by poverty, disease and death, can speak with a full heart of the good that has been done by Dr. Bryan. The poor, the friendless and the outcast have been his especial charges. He has given both spiritual help and ma terial aid, wherever it was in his power to do so. To all classes of so- ciety, to all creeds and all races he has been the monitor and friend.
 Truly, here is a man who walks in the footsteps of the Master.

BIRMIsGHAM's BUSINESS

From the South Bend Tribune. Can city operate properly. grad ually reduce it's indebtedness in the ' point of elimination and then close the ] books on a year with money in the bank? It can. Birmingham. Ala, has proved it.
 Birmingham has wiped out a debt of $2o7,o 900 in three Years and at the close :, Of business for 1920 had on hand $40.- l5ss.4s. The etaN rate, one can hardly believe, is onfy $1 per hundred of valua- tion for all purposes.
 How did Birmingham do il? It is not
 small place, but the Pittsburg of the south, great iron and steel center. The average worldly minded politician will believe that some fabulousiy rich citi-
 zens must have endowed the municipal corporation.
 Not SO Birming gham is simply being conducted on a business-like basis; and while it has the commission plan of
 government no special credit is given the form of administration. The people there have been willing to do what the people of other cities must do in order to put their local government on sound , financial footing. They have been wil.- ing to take an intelligent, active inter- est in public offairs and to see the city Edo without non essentials. Expenditures for health safety and education were increased during the three hard years Birmingham took care ef the essentials. But it went on
 municipal diet, cut out all eNtrava-
 gances and frills and made the public dollar do as much as the private cor i poration dollar. South Bend could do
 the same thing if the people would de- mand it.

From the Thrift Magazine.
 6T1HE next great accomplishment in
 educational matters will be the
 0 introduction of thrift teachings in the schools of America. Forces are now at work to this end and in sev- eral states definite phases of thrift work are being added to the school curricula.
 The educational forces of this coun- try are proving their worth when they give enconra cement to the propagation of such sound practices. The first steps in this work were taken in 1915 when the International Congress for Thrift met in San Francisco under the aus pices of the American Society for Thrift Later the National Education association and the American Society for Thrift joined forces and concen- trated their efforts through com mittee of the two associations. At a meeting of the National Council of Education in Portland, Ore, in July, 1917. this committee reported that the introduction o thrift teachings Tn the schools was both advisable and possible, and outlined plans by which the work could be developed.
 These interests also conducted two several thousand prizes were awarded to school children. similar con test was held in the New York city

Admirable Location
 for the Moose Home

m BIRMINGHAM offers many ad- ID vantages for the Moose home which this order proposes to estab- fish in southern city. The officials who are now Investigating tentative sites in the south are assured that they will be given the heartiest CO., operation if they decide on .Birming- ham.
 They will not find anywhere citi- zenship more public-spirited and more appreciative of the various fraternal orders, which have done, and are still doing, great service for humanity. What other organizations have ac- complished here can be duplicated by the Moose. On every side are the evidences of loyal support given by the people of Birmingham, showing the interest they take in fraternal af- fairs.

Ga. we'll known Georgia lawyer It is so diff ferent from Atlanta in every way 1 am constantly amazed at the magni- tude of the coal, iron and steel out put and the tremendous size of the Industrial plants and the mammoth scale on which they are operated. Any man familiar with the. history of the United States Steel corporation must take off his hat to the ability of the men behind the great organization. They have not only been seers but have proved themselves to be great executives. Birmins sham's present pros perity in the cotton crisis is tribute to their wisdom in stabilizing the bust ness In which they are engaged.

Growth
in service to
the growers Of
lorida Citrus Exchan6t
dozen years ago the citrus growers of Florida
launched their marketing organization to put end
to tnbearable conditions
It early found necessary that more be done than
factory to the members.
There needed to be adequate provision for accounting,
2t the funds of the growers be safeguarded properly and
business be handled without confusion or delay
Then there had to be provided expert direction of raf
c AFFAIRS thousands of dollars would since have been
lost the growers each in transportation muddes
and claims refused by carriers
From this beginnsg after the experimental period
past naturally developed the Increment to make
operative purchases of supplies possible for members Of
the Florida Citrus Exchange Thus the Exchange Supply
Company Oas born
It logical step to the manufacture of fertilizers
and crate materials by the growers in their plants,
with profits between manufacture and the growers
packing houses with business handled there has been
decentralization of existing trade conditions.
Since then has followed horticultural service which
puts unbiased scientific knowledge of trained grove experts
the service of the Florida Citrus Exchange membersto
the end that they shall be enabled produce fruit
given area, and fruit of higher grade.
Also, laboratory service which members of
the Exchange of the precise nature of the materials pur
chased be used in the manufacture of their fertilizers
and makes actual analyses of all mixtures before these
shipped growers from the cooperative plants where
they are manufactured
In addition this laboratory service includes soil
for m m1Jch
the utilization of Gull citrus fruits in various ways Of pos
cible commercial vaue-when Foridas citrus byproducts
problem solved will undoubtedly be through the nves-
LEGATIONS of the growers organization.
Now financial SERVICE through the operations
of the GroUers Loan and Guaranty Company Which
the first time has made generally available to Florida
Citrus Exchange members loans their
co2able interest rates, and aUthout necessity for loss in
value of fruit By premature SALE
The growth of service of the growers co-opera-
tive organization has been no less gratifying than the
