Reducing Expenses. The Seaboard high official: met at Hamlet, N. C., last weel to discuss the cutting down oi operating expenses of that road The Southern has been cuting down expenses for severa months. The large lumber comn pan ies in the South are also cut ting down expenses. They ar< paying less for labor than the' did last year. The whole coun try was moving along at a gal that could not last. Too muel so-called prosperity led up to ex travagant expenditures. Mei launched large enterprises om borrowed capital, which led hi the direction of suspension anm eventual bankruptcy. Thos< who dealt in futures, that Is gambled on fictitious values, be came reckless. All provision advanced along with the price o labor. People are talking about har< times, when there Is as muel money in the country as ther was before the panic. Whati the lesson for farmers and me) who depend on their muscle fc a living? In the first place, lose no tim< whatever may be your worn and do not go in debt. Spen ess than yeon make. naye na e thing and be independent. In the second place, wear last summer's clothing, if you have not the cash to buy a new outfit. K I Patched and darned clothes-ar4 more respectable than debt and bankruptcy with fine silks and satins. Let your food be simple, cheap and healthful. What peo ple put on them and in ther has brought many a family te. poverty. Encourage and insist on thrift, economy and the saving habit in the family. Also encourage the making habit amongst the children so that they may learn the value of money. If you have anything to sell, take the buyer's price if you cannot get yours. Better to sell what you do not need cheap, than let it go to waste at home. -[Carolina Spartan.

The world is anazed for is it not this wonder t ful woman of millions, said to be the richest woman in the s world, who has interested, a I mazed, sometimes horrified the public by her eccentricities of t economy and her quaint, often L niggardly ways. t Mrs. Green breakfasts and I dines at the hotel's expensive restaurant, going as usual to her business office in the Chem ical National Bank, where she has her luncheon. Mrs. Green says that she likes to dwell in i.narble halls, and, although she had hoped it would not become generally knowi that she had begun to spend money so fast, she had decided she was entitled to the best $15 a day will buy at the Plaza. Dressed in black, she sits at nights upon an upholstered divan in the reception room of the hotel, idly looking into a mirror that cost a lot of money and as idly playing with a bit of tapestry that cost a lot more i money. I She dines in the restaurant in - the hotel, but so far she resisted - an impulse to patronize any of the long line of taxicabs that wait in front of the entrance. - The expenditure of 5 cents and 6 a judicious choice of transfers 1 carriesl0 Mrs. Green to her office - in the Chemical National Bank it each morning by street cars. i When Mrs. Green saw there was an automatic clock, an au I tomatic heat regulator and a ' telephone in her apartments, she ,said: "It may be some comfort - to know what time it is and it may be pleasant to know how f' hot or how cold it is, but I can get along without that tele I, phone. Just tell 'em downstah's 1 that Hetty Green hasn't any a telephone." s She refuses the, services of a i clerk, maids, haliboys and tele r phione operator on- her floor. "I'm iihed to waiting on my .self," she said. "I find I can :, help myself about as well as daoycnhlp mae....Au
