BLOWING OUR OWN HORN
And at the Same Time Helping the
Other Fellow.

It's an old and trite saying that
"every fellow must blow his own
horn" else he Will be unheard and un-
heralded in this advanced age. Ga
briel blew his horn long years ago.
When Joel McGary, of Chicago
walked into our office last week, we
could see at once that we were face
to face with a real optimist, Q rare
thing in Kirgstree these days, but
thank Heavens there are few OF us.
Naturally we are always pleased to
meet one. a man who seems not to
be overloaded with imaginary troubles
and is looking steadily for the "silver
lining" McGary seems never to have
had d speck of pessimism in his make
up. He always looks on the bright
side and wears, along with a very
prominent nose that i'll becomes an
Irishman, a cheerful countenance.
When he came into our office
Thursday morning he wanted to pur-
chase advertising space, more than
it was possible for US to let him have
in that issue of The Record to adver-
tise the unique auction sale he is now
conducting for T. E. Baggett at his
old stand on Main street.
He was willing to accept the space
we could spare him, and what has
been the result? Mr.. Baggett's place
has been crowded every night since
the opening date of the auction. A
convincing proof that even in this
period of financial depression it does
pay to advertise even in a small space
in The County Record when you cant
get large one.
From our observation this auction
sale of jewelry has been a success,
and we are satisfied that goods are
going at very low price.
AS for McGary, he knows his busi-
ness; he is Interesting and instructive
He seems to know every article OF
jewelry throughly, and has told us
more about the diamond and the pearl
than we have learned from any other
source.
Go out tonight at 7:SO and hear Nc
Gary, it you would transform your
pessimism into a spirit of optimism.

FALL GARDEN NOTES.
A List of Vegetables for Fall Culti'
vation at Home.

Beets, cabbage, lettuce, mustard
onions, garden peas, radish, spinach
and turnips can be planted in the fall
garden.
Sow beet seed the latter part OF
September. The plants will stano
the winter and produce beets for ear
ly spring use.
Good cabbage plants of the wake
field variety set in early September
will form heads in December. With
slight protection both cabbage anc
collards will carry through our sever
est winters. -.
Kale sown during September will
produce an abundance Of greens dur
ing winter and early spring. Siberian
Curled is a good fall variety.
Sow Big Boston lettuce for fall
and winter supply. With slight pro-
lection firm heads can be had in jan
uary and February.
Mustard will stand any amount OF
cold and seed sown during September
will furnish greens throughout the
fall, winter and early spring.
White Pearl and Prizetaker are
splendid onion varieties for all plant
ing. Sets of these varieties will fur
nish green onions during the winter
and early spring. Seeds may be sown
from September 20 to October 10.
Plant garden peas during Novem'
ber for the earliest spring peas. Alas
ka is a good variety for fall planting
Long White Spanish radishes OF
some of the other winter varieties
will remain in good condition through
out the winter. Sow seed the last
Of September.
Though commonly sowr for pastur-
age, rape seed sown in September will
Weld excellent winter greens.
Spinach seed sown in late Septem-
ber or early October will produce
greens throughout the winter until
late spring.
Sow turnips from the first to twen-
tieth of September. This is one OF
our reliable vegetables that will pro-
duce both roots and tops for winter
and spring. The White Egg should
be sown for turrips and the Seventop
for greens.

Benz. F. PATRICK
dies SUDDENLY

CLAIMED BY THE GRIM

denly at his home on West Main

IMPROVE MAIL FACILITIES
Postmaster General Hays Discontinues
Freight Shipment of Periodicals

Postmaster General Hays has re-es-
tablished the practice of shipping all
monthly, semi-monthly and bi-weekly
periodicals by mail instead Of by
freight. This will speed up the de-
livery of these periodicals to subscrib-
ers. The change was put into force
October /.
By handling these periodicals IN the
regular space with the regular force
and equipment, approximately $685.
600 a wear can be saved in force, rent
and drayage.
It will also relieve some valuable
space in post offices.
At the time the freight shipment
plan was adopted in 1911, mails were
handled entirely on the weight basis,
and the difference in cost Of trans
portation by freight and by passenger
trains was material. 1t was estimat'
ed at that time there was substan-
Llal- saving d SSei w 1iiS oSPeh SA4S
by the freight method.
Since the Inauguration of the freight
handling plan the basis of railway pay
has been changed from the weight to
the space method, and transportation
charges by freight have steadily in
creased.
"Since conditions are now the re-
verse of what they were in 1911, with
little difference in the cost of trans
portation between freight and mail
train, and in added expense for han
ding these periodicals outside the
regular equipment, together with the
fact that the freight shipment plan
offers inferior service, we can no long
er defend this method of handling
periodicals." says Postmaster General
Hays.
The number of publications affected
bv this change will total almost 1000.
The action of the postmaster general
will be of benefit to the public, the
, the publishers and the government.

BUILDING COST.
MUCH LOWER
$1,000 WILL ERECT HOUSE RE.
QUIRING $1,000 ONE
YEAR AGO.

Reductions which have taken place
during the past year in the price Of
building materials and to some ex-
tent, of labor, have brought the cost
of construction to approximately 40
per cent off from tie high peak prices
which prevailed up to about a year
ago, according to the figures furnished
by local contractors.
Thus, brick is quoted now by manu-
facturers at $40 to S12 per thousand,
whereas at one time they reached the
figure of $40 to $24.
Standard short leaf pine is quoted
at present at $50 to $25 per thousand
feet, which is much below the high
peak prices of $40 to $45, which it
reached at one tune.
Another important item in building,
cement, has likewise decreased in
price, being quoted now at $500 bar
rel as compared to S. toss, the prices
at which it sold formerly. Cement
has just recently taken a drop.
The above items are important
building material, but in other lines
there have also been decreases. Mill
work, such as doors, sashes, windows,
and trimming, is quoted at substan-
tial reductions, and labor is to be had
on modified scale.
The view among contractors gener-
ally, appears to be that building fig
ures have reached the bottom, and
that further reductions are improba-
BILE; and hence it is felt that from a
standpoint of economy there is not
better time to build than right now.
AS conditions approach. normal, and
there is bigger demand for material
and labor, advances may be looked for
in these costs, bringing of course the
cost Of construction to higher level
than now prevails.
One local contractor reports, as in
dicative of the lower cost of building
now prevailing, that he is building a
residence for $1,000, complete which
would have cost something like SILL
900 a year ago, at which time prices
were at their peak. This is two
story frame dwelling, with pine foun-
dation. It has three bed rooms and
bath upstairs, and living room,
dining room, kitchen, pantry and den
downstairs. The house is QUILTED
complete with all fixtures, and will
be ready for housekeeping when fin
ished. And it is costing approximate
ly $4,000 less than it would have cost
when prices were at their highest. In
few lines of commodities, it is point
ed out, have the declines assumed
such proportions, which would appear
to bear out the argument that now
is an ideal time for building.
One contractor reports that in
March of this year he quoted figure
of s17,7OO for public building of a
high class type, and that in recently
going over the figures he estimated
that today he could quote $4,000.
Showing a reduction Of about % per
cent inside of a few months.
In some new building lines there
have been small advances in price,
indicating q reaction from the big re-
ductions which have taken place.
