effort.
Speaking at the semi-annual budget
meeting Of department and bureau
heads, the chief executive reviewed
accomplishments of the period since
the first meeting of the "business or

Got Screen Pictures

''Ln darkest Africa, in village called
Kimbabeal, a cameraman found tribe
of savages who had never before seen
but one white man. He had been a
French officer. as they reminiscently
remarked through an interpreter.
However, the cameraman who found
this tribe received permission from the
chief to film his people. Naturally he
didn't care to cross the cannibals. Yet
neither did he wish TO spoil the
chances of having his pictures reach
the screen.
1.-THE tribe wore the prOverbial smile
all right, but the sash in every in
stance had been left at home. There
seemed to be no chance in the world
of getting over his idea of modesty on
the American plan.
"While he was trying to figure out
the solution he spied a pile of ostrich
feathers gayly cOlOred with native dye.
He selected sturdy young buck as his
model. The cannibals crowded about
him and in no time at all he had q
steady stream of animated feather
busters issuing from his swiftly NOV

brought back with him were eminently

in the early days because it was the
finest and most costly dye Of the an

of shells found in the Mediterranean
sea- The ancients attribute its dis
cOvery to the PhOenicians and the
story is that it was first discovered by

that in Caesars time pound of Tyrian
purple wool cost above 1000 denarii.
which is. roughly speaking, equal to

an early date by the Greeks as mark
of dignity. Tyrian purple was intro
duced into Rome in the middle of the
First century, B. c.. and from that time
it became luxury. Its use was
checked by imperial decree. com

TrOtter Garage Burned

Trotter Bros. garage at Dawson was
totally destroyed by fire last Thurs
day night, January 2lst. The fire
was discovered about 100 o'clock a.
m. and before the department could
reach the scene it had gained such
Roadway that it was impossible to
save the building or it's contents. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but
the fact that carload of lubricating
oils which had been received but a
few days before the fire, was stored
in the garage made it impossible to
extinguish the blaze after it had
started. There were twenty-four new
Ford units in the building which had
been received the day before the fire,
and in addition to these were nine
teen other automobiles all OF which
were destroyed. The estimated loss
of the building and contents is be-
tween twenty and thirty thousand
dollars, which is said to be covered
by insurance. The firm will rebuild
their garage in the spring. 1t IS SAID
that but for the new fire truck the
entire south end of the town would

Thrift Not Mere Saving

1t il we'll to understand that thrift
means much more than the mere saw
ing of money, says Thrift Magazine. II
is unfortunate that so much of our cur,
rent thrift educational effort is direct
ed solely along lines of money saving
Many people, through great patience
and self-deniai, are able TO lay by u
comfortable sum, only to lose it in the
end through ill-advised investment.
Thrift education should he conduct
ed along broad lines. How to spend
and invest is as important as how to
save.
