ASSIST IN BUILDING HOMES
Associations Through the Country
Teach Thrift and at the Same
Time Make Good Citizens.

Pointing out that man who owns
his own home probably will be good
citizen, G. Clinton James, president of
the Building Associations council for
the District Of Columbia, issued a
statement showing what building as
sociations in the district are doing to
encourage home owning and thrift.
While complete figures are not avail
able, 1t is estimated that the total as
sets Of building associations in WASH
ington will be more than $2S,00O,0 900,
he announced.
1.-THE building associations through
out the country are teaching thrift and
trying to educate the public to own
their own homes" Mr.. James stated.
1.-THE motto of the United States
League of Local Building and Loan
Associations is The American Home
the Safeguard Of American Liberties
1.-THE building associations have as
sisted very largely in solving the h0us-
ing question by assisting persons Of
limited means to finance the buying
of their home, but the demand for
loans has been much greater than the
funds available" it is asserted.
While building associations are not
as necessary in smaller towns as In
the citiesy the same idea expressed In
community spirit will work out to the
desired result In the end.

BELIEVES IN SAVING PENNIES
Rich New York Banker Certainly Can

Arriving at the end of the road he
sends his valet to barber shop, which
he has patr0niZed once a year for
years, to arrange for bath. A por-
ter carries the two valises there and
buck. For this he receives a tip of
5 cents. The banker pays % cents
for his bath. After bathing he returns
to the private car. He sleeps in it in

No matter how carefully the house
keeper plans Aaer daily, weekly, and

be done easily and quickly without
suitable cleaning tools and materials
If they are kept together in one place,

money is saved.
The ideal arrangement is to have
a complete set stored in orderly fash

closet. Whether a few OK many kinds
are needed, it is economical to buy
well-made, durable tools and keep
them in good condition and grouped
together. If possible, it is well to have
on each floor supply Of some of
the things most constantly used.
Give Tools Good Care.
AS far as possible, cleaning tools
should be put away clean and ready
for use. Broonls, brushes and mops
should be hung by strings or screw
eyes fastened to the handles so that
the weight does not rest on the straws,
bristles or strings. Carpet sweepers
also should be set so that the weight
does not come on the brushes. The
hair and lint which accumulates in
brushes, especially in carpet sweepers,
may be taken out with an old button
hook, a coarse comb or old scissors.
Corn brooms may be washed in hot
soapsuds, but care must be taken sLot
to let the water rust the wires which
hold the straws to the handle.
Bristle brushes may be washed with

Repairs have been completed on
the bridge over Carriers Creek at the
Carter's Creek station and travel is
now moving over the bridge. 1t will
be recalled that this bridge fell in
while a load of cattle were crossing
il last November, on election day. At
the January term the county court au-
thorized the removal of the spans
heretofore used in the Rutherford
creek bridge on the Nashville pike
for the use of this bridge, the citizens
agreeing that they would move them.
This has been done, the bridge re-
aoored and opened to travel and it is
said to be stronger than it was when
first constructed. The bridge has
been badly missed by all of the peo-
pie of that community and they are
very much gratified that it has been
restored. This is the second bridge
in that section of the county that has
been restored to traffic the other be-
ing over Rutherford creek on the The
