Too often a town suffers because its citizens immerse themselves in the business of making money, to the utter exclusion: of all other considerations. Always there are a few who believe in improving local conditions. Through their efforts a, certain amount is accom plished, but uniform improvement is only brought about when the people as a body are willing to co-operate to that end. Conditions in our own community would he better, and life would be brighter, if all of our people had the spirit of local improvement and the will to put it into practice. Again we suggest that it is time to look over the field and see if there is any one in our midst who is likely not to be remembered on Christmas day. If there are any such persons the spirit of humility and .brotherly love which Christ taught should prompt us to put joy into their hearts on the great day of days. To him that hath not should be given. How many of the children who re ceive their toys on Christmas day will understand why those toys are given them at that particular time? How many of them understand that had it not been for the birth of Christ there would be no Christmas, and per haps no occasion for toys? It might be profitable to tell them the storoy of the child who came into into the world in a manger and went ou,t of it upon a cross, that their thoughts on Christmas morn may in stinctively turn back to the day when the virgin became a mother. The average minister preaches about 100 sermons a year. This requires intelligence, education, research, and concentrated thought. In addition, he must keep a watch ful eye on the work of the Sunday school; conduct mid-week prayers, foster and enducate all sorts of church societies and activities, visit the sick and oppressed, smile sweetly over the indifference of many of the brethren, and blaze the path to heaven for peo ple who are too engrossed'in worldly affairs to perform this important duty for themselves. We dole him out a sum that, with rigid economy, will cover his naked ness and keep soul and body together —and feel that we have done -wonder fully well. The devil smiles at our parsimony, the preacher doesn’t complain of it, and we, apparently, prefer to remain ignorant of it. It’s a gay world—for everyone but the preacher. And now, if you have borrowed this paper in order to read this column, re turn it with thanks and send in a sub scription of your own. It will add to the enjoyment of your Christmas din ner. “It is to be hoped that every per son who can do so will exchange War Savings Stamps, soon to fall due, for Treasury saving certificates,” said Postmaster Lewis. “The large amount of money invested and the great num ber of persons who purchased was saving stamps showed that the people of this country could save money when the necessity arose. Now, if they will take the money they saved when they bought stamps to aid the government in the prosecution of the war and buy Treasury savings certificates, they will demonstrate that the thrift lessons of the war have not been without effect. The holders of war saving stamps have seen investments of about $20.50 grow to $25 in five years, and larger amounts in the same proportion. They can see the same thing repeated if they rein vest in Treasury savings certificates. Interest accumulates at the rate of 4 per cent, compounded semi-anhually. These savings certificates are exempt from the normal Federal income tax, and from all State and local taxation (except estate and inheritance taxes), and may be held to the amount of $5,- 000, maturity value, for each issue, -by every member of a family. They are backed by the credit of the United States government, and afford an easy and sure method of saving.” Magnified Trifles. Trifles that amount to little are too frequently magnified and those which really should receive attention are ig nored. This is because too many men and women lack ability properly to es timate the value of things. Ability to tppralse is at a premium nowadays. Steal* Another Nett.

(Prepared by the United States Depe.rtment of Agriculture.) No effort has been made to encour age the construction of any particu lar type of road in the federal-aid projects administered by the bureau of roads of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The legal re quirement that the roads shall be “substantial In character” has not been interpreted to mean that only the most expensive types of roads should be built. It hus been recognized that the heavy and expensive construction # whieh is necessary in New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania is not suitable or warranted for the less exacting traffic of Nevada, Idaho and the Dakotas. There is a suitable type of road for every type of traffic. Granite blocks are best around wharves and freight depots; country thoroughfares need to be better than rural side roads, lightly traveled. A number of other considerations have influenced the choice of type in many cases. It is fre quently found that suitable local ma terials may cost less than better mate rials imported from a distance; ap proval of the use of local materials is not infrequently given for the purpose of encouraging local productiori. In parts of the Far West the entire ab sence of water along a right of way, and the expense of keeping an ade quate supply, often make It necessary to approve the building of a type of construction that can be built without using large quantities of water. The initial decision as to the type of a particular road is made by the state highway department. The bureau of public roads mukes an Independent study of the conditions. The most suitable type of road in the judgment of the engineers of the State depart ment and of the bureau of public roads is finally decided upon. The earth, snnd-olay and gravel roads Much Money Is Needed to Cut a High way Through the Mountains. which make up 66 per cent of the mileage, have cost only about one- fourth of the federal-aid funds used, while the highest types, including cement concrete, brick and bituminous concrete have called for 60 per cent of the money to build 24 per cent of the mileage. PAINT HELPS STEEL BRIDGES Life of Many Steel Structures Is Short ened by Infrequent and Im proper Attention. The life of many steel highway btldges is materially shortened be cause of infrequent aud improper painting, says the bureau of public roads of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Each year a considerable amount of money Is spent for the replacement of rusted bridge members that would have remained sound if they had been kept painted; and more serious than the waste of money is the danger to the public due to the weakening of some hidden part which may cause the collapse of the whole bridge. Officials of the bureau urge that all steel bridges be inspected at least once each year and repainted at the first sign of rusting. Normally repainting is required at periods of from two to five years, depending on the climate. A suitable paint should be used, and if there is uncertainty about any paint, information should be requested from the state highway department. It is & mistake to repaint without properly cleuning the inetal of all dirt, rust, loose paint, and blisters. Usual ly the places hardest to reach are the ones that should receive the most at tention. Money for Road Paving. 0*-operating with the states, the government has approved in the past five years expenditures totaling $229,- 000.000 for road paving. This is divid ed into three classes, concrete, brick und bituminous of which more than 80 per cent lias been concrete. Place Concrete. Anyone who is careful to observe the simple rules necessary in doing concrete work can make and place concrete satisfactorily, even though he uiay have no previous experience. GEORGIA—Fayette County.
