Real Household Economy.

Speaking of household economies, it is always a question of just what an economy is. Some people save one way and some another. What to one family seems an extravaganza to an- other appears as necessity. One persons way of saving strikes the next as foolish. So it goes.
 There is one woman in this city who saves by lighting used matches from the gas stove flame, and using them To light additional burners, in- stead of using new match for every burner.
 one would imagine that person might save as much as $1 year by this procedure. Perhaps in lifetime the saving might amount to $10 And yet, if some noted financiers are to be believed, this is the very way to save money and arrive at aff1uence.
 Success by such methods, however, would seem to depend largely upon the thoroughness with which the idea is applied to many matters.-Ex- change.

Durability of Glass.

If does not seem remarkable to ina inscriptions written ages ago still vis- Ihla on the Tower of London or on the steeple of some cathedral. But one would hardly look on a fragile pane Of glass in a common window for char octers more than two centuries old.
 notable case in point came to light in London not so long ago, in an ola house where the notorious Jack Shep' nard once lived as a carpenters ap- nrentice. One of the window panes still bears an inscription cut in 1t by glazier's diamond, recording the name and address of man who preceded lacks master in that house. The h. scription is: "John Woolley Brand, Painter and Glazier, March Z, lIOo." That was nine years before the con- ing to the house of Jack Sheppard and almost two hundred and fifty years ago.

The young husband was kindness personified as far as his wife was concerned. But he didn't like delay and made many diplomatic attempt to have her ready to go out when he himself was dressed. Living in suburban community, they always at- tended the monthly dances at the country club.

And she'll never guess. l used to bring her flowers She always wants a bunch to wear for the dance when I come home But now l plead they'll be fresher if we get them on our way to the club.

 Yes. this is q season of joy, but joy is not SYNONYMOUS with friyolity, rev elry. or the qualification of bodily ap- petites and desires. Ii is higher, holier, nohler, and deeper than all these.
 But the presence of joy, high and holy as if is. cannot make an ideal Christmas When the wise men found the infant Jesus they not only rejoiced, they fell down and worshipped Him. We can never enter into the true spirit of Christmas until we have the spirit of worship. I greatly fear that We are most deficient just at this point.

few people found it in their hearts thiS morning to come to the sanctuary to worship the Christ before whom the wise men bowed in adoring reyeral nee on that first Christmas morning so long ago. I can only hope that those of you who have come 10 the house of God today. and who have joined in these songs of joy and praise, and in our prayers of thanksgiving to God for His unspeakable gift" have realized anew that the true ideal of Christmas can never he realized apart from the spirit of worship to our King.
 But the experience of joy and the exercise of worship did not complete for those holy men the observance of Christmas, for we read further that When they had opened their treas ures, they presented unto him gifts; gold. frankincense and myrrh.' If k not strange that the spirit of Chris mas has inspired in the hearts of me- the grace of generosity. Ii k fitting that we should give presents 10 our loved ones and friends at this time which appeals so strongly to all of the holiest and tcnderest clements of our natures. but our giving will not meas ure Hp to the Christmas ideal if we give only to those who give to Us. The truest. best giving is expressed in the gifts which we bring to Christ, as our Saviour and King. We bring our gifts to Him when we give to the poor and needy for His sake When we give to the world not our gifts of money alone but our gifts. of service. The singer who gives to the world his gift of song the teacher who p0urs out the treas ureS of his knowledge to others: tn" true preacher who like bis Lord seeks ,.Not to be ministcred unto but to minister" the physician who gives to in any way give of their store to sup ply the needs of the world. or to re- licve the distress and misfortnneS of men. are presenting their gifts unto him who said "Inasmueh as ye have done il unto one of these the least ef my disciples you have done if unto me"

 But it is left to tue farmers of Coffee County, Alabama, to lead the way in rendering instant monumental tribute to the enemy who defeated them. spanked them soundly. and set their faces toward success. On this monument they have written this per petual inscription:

GOOD BYE 1927

As we say good bye to 1921, We are looking for and expecting better things in the year 1922. If we did not, most of us would enter the New Year with very low spirits In our old days, some of us will look back to 1921 and remember it as the year when we came very near going under; II was the year we made n very, very short cotton crop, or it was the year our truck crop was eonfscatcd for freight. and SO on. The year 1921 will go down in history as n year of anxious wait ing The whole world has been mark ing time and asking "wherc do we go from here2'
 II has been said that time is q good doctor" and the passing Of tune helps heal the wounds We hope the sitna tion is even better now than at the be ginning of 1921 This period Of re adjustment following the great world war had to be gone through, even though it was n bitter dose However, the world is not yet well. but we think Ii is on the mend.
 The farmer is not getting what he k entitled to-he is farming at a loss. The truck growers of our own district arc an example. They lost time and money expended for seed and fertIlizef. also hard labor. in last seasons crop. The man who tried to raise cotton iS in the same boat
 We hope they have passed the worst, and may now look forward to improved conditions. Already there are some sirns of improvement Liberty Bonds which last March sold for ST, are HOW selling for 97 This shows that money Is easer-in some places and interest rates are lower. The city of Mil waukce recently sold some six per cent municipal bonds for f.Si against '.2' three months ago. The railroad situa tion k being ironed out q little The roads are doing little business at pres cnt. the rates still being too high, but thc federal tax being removed and the adnaflon of lower rates on farm pro ducts helps some. We believe durir' thc coming year the rates will he rr duced more.
 So as we enter the New Year, lei $ forget. as b we can our sorrows and failures of 1921 and plunge into the New Year with greater faith and more zeal and determination than ever. and by the close of 1o22 we may be glad that we did our very best.
