Why wait to save i've dollars on q re pairing or remodeling job, when you car have the work done now and get the pleasure and comfort from it during all the intervening time?
 Building material prices are greatly reduced.
 You can build garage or barn, lay hardwood floors, roof your house, re- placed cracked walls with Beaver Board at . cost greatly below that of six months ago.
 Prices may go slightly lower. It's doubtful. Building material manufac- turers. caught with big stocks, cleaned them out almost at cost When demand increases they will again ask fair profit and their quotations will probably be higher.
 But at any rate, are you going to let five dollars, or ten dollars, or twenty dollars, keep you from having that new garage, those new floors, or those needed Beaver Board rooms?
 It's worth that much to build them now and enjoy them.

WhN Ship Is Eeminina.

A ship is invariably spoken of as of the feminine gender; this is traced to the ancient Greeks, who called all ships feminine names out of respect to Athene, goddess of the sea. Friday is believed to be an unlucky day by those who are superstitiOus. It is de rived from the fact it was the day of Christ's crEcifxiOn, as we'll as the one on which Adam and Eve ate the for. bidden fruit. Few, perhaps, are aware, why a weather-cOck is fire quently attached to a church steeple This is believed to remind people oi Peters denial of Christ. It is a com mon belief that peacOck's feathers are unlucky. This is due to the tradition that the bird opened the gate of para. disc to the serpent.

We are promised lively scrap as soon as the legislature convenes. Gov ernor-elect McRae has promised to abolish a number of useless com missions. Before going out of office Gov. Brough has appointed men to fill all these commissions for the com ing terms. No doubt the friends of these commissioners on the one hand and the new governor on the other hand will have a tug of war when the appointments come up in the senate for confirmation. It is going to take some heavy jolts to jar these people loose, but Col, McRae declares there will be no compromise so far as he is concerned. and that his weapon will be public pressure. If electing a gov ernor on certain platform means anything, it means that the people of the state, or majority of them, will be with the new governor in the fight that is to come.

Senate Passes Finance Bill
 Over Presidents Veto

Washington, Jan. 3.-The resolution to revive the war finance. corporation was passed today by the senate over President Wilson's veto.
 The vote was taken immediately af- ter the presidents veto message was read. Similar action by the house was forecast by supporters of the resolu- tion, which was designed as an aid tc farmers and others in the present de- clining prices.
 Senator Underwood, Alabama, the Democratic leader, gave notice that he would vote to pass the resolution over the presidents veto, sayng he had not changed his mind as to the advisibility of the measure.
 The vote to override the president was 53 to 5, or 19 more than the re- quired two-thirds majority.
 Those voting to sustain the presi- dents veto were Elkins and Suther- land of West Virginia, and Keys, of New Hampshire, Republicans, and Gerry, Rhode Island, and Thomas, Col orado, Democrats. Senator Penrose Republican of Pennsylvania, announc- ed that he was paired on the question, but that if he could vote, he would vote to sustain the president. Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia, made a similar announcement.

HALF YOUR LIVING
 WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut in Half By Food And Grain
 Making And Saving

Atlanta, Georgia.-(Special.) )-"High prices for cotton, such as we had a year ago cannot reasonably be expect ed for long time to come. European countries that normally use half our crop are so thoroughly disorganized and paralyzed in a business way that they will not be able to take the usual. quantities and pay high prices for many years to come," said H. C.. Hastings, President of the great Southeastern Fair.
 This situation which we cannot control, calls for lower costs of mak- ing cotton as well as reduction in cot ton acreage. The quickest, safest and most effective way to reduce cot ton making cost is to produce on one's own acres every pound of food, grain end forage needed for family, tenants and laborers anu live stock
 "The situation requires chickens, hogs, milk cows and acres of corn. oats, wheat, forage and miscellane- ous crops from which to feed them. Last, but not least, in importance, Is the home vegetable garden which Is the quickest and cheapest source of food in the world.
 Most folks here in the South don't take the home garden seriously and thereby make great mistake. There are too many of the lick and prom ise' sort of gardens and mighty few of the real sure enough kind.
 We have been told repeatedly hy those who plan and prepare for real garden, plant 1t. tend 1t and keep 1t replanted through the season. that 1t furnishes half the family living ct no money cost except the small amount spent for the seeds needed.
 The garden is, or rather should be. the earliest planted. It brings food the quickest. It. starts cutting store bills for food the first week anything is ready to use. A little later, half or more needed for the table comes out of the garden.
 If rightly tended and replanted ssit isupplIeB food all summer and fall, the surplus above daily needs goes into cans pr b dried for winter use. Yea. the right kind of garden is a lifs. \ ,sayers and we all need life-saver oe this kind n 1o11.n

The Circuit Court Is again under way, which reminds us that we have not yet reached that period of per lection when an old fashioned court of justice has nothing to do. Our courts have always stood for absolute law enforcement and we have no reason to believe the time will ever come when society can abandon that stern justice which the law demands of those who fracture it's statutes The ideal state is the state that most rigid lv enforces the law.

Weekly Review of
 the Cotton Trade

New Orleans, Jan. 2. The last week of the old year in the cotton market carried the price off to the lowest levels of the season. January fell to 12.25 and closed at 12.91 which price compared with 39.SO as the closing quotation for the same week last year, In the net results con tracts lost 68 to S9 points, while spots lost 50 points on middling, which closed at 13.50 against 45.25 cents a pound year ago. Liquidation of long contracts hedge selling pressure from the spot market, were the main factors against the price.
 There were periods of steadiness caused principally by the realizing on the short side. A good character of buying followed the announcement that one of the leading shirt manu- facturers had decided to cut prices by 50 per cent, the new quotations to go in effect on the fourth of Jan uary and the reduction to be per manent. Buyers also found encour- agement in reports from New Eng land that buyers of cotton goods were showing more confidence and in Car olinas telegrams telling of many mills resuming full time.
 This week the trade will be mainly concerned at first with the way things shape up in the market for finished goods. If buyers take hold at all we'll at the new prices which have been pro missed on many staple lines there Is little doubt that operations on the long side in an enlarged scale will be en- couraged.
 Many traders will be inclined to look further ahead and size up new crop prospects.
