Suppose cotton from your, community is be ing ginned and sold elsewhere — be cause local equipment is poor — would it pay the community to help buy modem equipment? Yet to buy I wonder sometimes whether we are unmindful of the value of small things. Many people would save money if they could lay their hands on hundreds of dollars. A mere five dollars doesn’t seem worth saving. ..And one dollar much less, of course. Five dollars a month is only sixty dollars a year. Not much; but how many thousands of people never have sixty dollars at one time! Sixty win and disposable liquid resources dollars isn’t much in a bank account, j of the willing spirits.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Crowe and Mrs. Fannie McCullough of Clinton, to many of those who throw away dimes and quarters there are times when five dollars might save the day. It seems to me that families might pool their savings sometimes, when the savings are small, yet in the ag gregate might amount to three or four hundred dollars a year. If the individual couldn't stand out, the family might have a thousand dol lars to invest every two or three years. In twenty-five years there would be a small fortune.

The engineer in the front locomo tive observed that the load was ap parently getting heavier as his en gine wheezed like an old horse giv ing his best. He motioned to the rear engineer for more power. The added push was barely felt. The front engineer looked back to give the “more steam’’ signal and saw sparks shooting from beneath a car in the long line. He franticalljr signaled to the rear engine to stop! Mistaking the signal, that engineer I pulled the throttle wider. He later recognized the signal and the train halted.
