Perhaps one reason we all turn so res<llly and earneslly 1 > a <il»- cuaston of national politics 1« because we have ao few of the uncomfortable personal jolts that come of taking a stand for good government In our own communities. Rays the Poet: "We should like to have a truce declared In national pol itic*—a general agreement to leave It exactly as It la for the next five years, without a new federal law, meantime, devoting all the Intelligence and en ergy we can muster to local govern ment." The Post might have added "cour age - to the worde •Intelligence and energy." otherwise, the suggestion Is all right, especially at this time, when the country has wiped Ita slate Clean of Iniquitous laws, working hardship sind oppression on some classes to give special favor and ease to others. The fact la we do not. as cltlarns perform our duty to our communities The smaller the community and the closer the social ties In It. the harder It le for ue to mueter courage to make a fight for the things we know to he wrong with It. The Post declares that local politics Is of more practical Im portance that the proper running of the central govemmnet. What. It asks, has the revision of the tariff brought to the average ettisen of a town, that can compare In Importance with the matter of well cleaned and well paved streets, with the matter of whether or not th# Health De partment Is effectively managed or with an honest and vlgllent suppres sion of crime? ■very city which ts badly and wastefully managed la a crying tn dlctmant agalnet lta own cltlicna. Whan wa see things rocking along In a slovenly, ship shod, half hearted way and are content to meet the con dition with a shrug of our shoulders and a cynical remark to the effect that we oan expect nothing better, we reflect only upon our own dtlxenshlp. our own courage and our supine con sent to the thing that dleguete ua.

The Post is right: Is*t well enough atone now In Washington and start things moving for a re-birth of com munity pride and a renewal of ronr age In local politics In sonic way, or other, these things are contagious.

Selma lived In a cottage on the edge of a Mg forest with her two brothers. They were hunters nmi went Into the forest every day and at night came home to a good supper that Selma had cooked for thorn. Hut they did not treat Selma kindly for all tin t she did for them, and often they would cat all the supper and never leave So much us a piece of bread for her. One day while they were away a poor dog with a sore foot came llinp or gewwhewr - wr Ing to the drum of Selma's cottage and began to whine. So she bound up the sore foot and than gave the dog some water and made a bed for him under her bed; for she knew - her brothers would drive thj dog out when they came home a: night If they saw him. That night her brothers were kind er than usual; they gave her some scraps of meat and a piece of bread and tea for supper. Senna ate pari of It, and the rest she put In her pocket to give to the poor sick dog, but her brothers saw her slip the bread and meat Into her Shop in Your Own City First This “Made in America” movement can l»e brought a little nearer home to each in dividual by emphasizing this suggestion: “Patronize the stores of your home city.” Each man is entitled to spend his own money where it will buy the most—whether it be in Rome or Asia. Rut in fairness— Is it not wisdom before purchasing else where to see what the stores of our own city have to offer? The prosperity of each of us is tied up with the prosperity of his neighbor. We prosper together and suffer hard times together. Acquaint yourself with what the stores of your own city are offering by reading the advertisements in The Herald. A ■ INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad pocket and watched to see what she <ll4 with It. Selma washed the dishes and put the room In order before she went to her room, lint the brothers still watched, and when she look the food from her pocket, the others were look ing through the crack In the wall and saw the dog. They threw open the door and drove out the dog. In spite of all of Selma’s pleading. "We do not want anything aroun 1 here that cannot work," they told her; "a sick dog will never he of any use, tils leg Is broken. Rnd It will never be so lie can help us hunt; let him go Into Hie forest and dte." Hut Selina would not let the dog go alone; she went out with him, and they slept under a Iroe, Selina cover ing the dog from the cold with her dress. In the morning she hid him un der a hush and the dog seemed to un derstand he was to keep quiet and did not hark. Selma cooked the hreaktgsl for her brothers and they went into the forest, hut they did not leave anything for poor Helma. "You cannot be hungry when you give part of your supper to a sick dog,” they told her. Selma ran to the place where the dog was hidden snd brought him Into the house as soon as her brothers were out of sight. She gave him a bone her brothers bail left and some water and bound his sore foot with n clean cloth, and then she went upstairs to make her brothers' beds. When she came back, the dog had disappeared, and In the chair by the window sat a young man In n velvet suit and a hat with a long black plume. "Do not be afraid, my little prin cess," he said as lie held out his hand to Selma. "You have saved me from a dreadful fate and 1 will repay you by taking you away from your broth ers, who do not treat you kindly. "1 am a prince whom a wicked witch changed Into a dog because 1 would not marry her daughter, who was also a wicked witch, and after she had changed me Into a doc. lie struck me with her cane and broke my leg, say ing, as she drove me Into the forest, 'A dog you shall remain until a young and handsome girl shall bind your broken leg. - "Now the spell ts broken, and I can go back to my csstle where you shall THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. live the life of a princess and never want for anything again.” Selma lived In happiness the rest of her days In the castle with her Prince, and no animal is ever turned away from their door; no matter how sick or wmunded It may be, It Is given THE WAYS OF THRIFT BURNING MONEY IN AMERICA. The burning of homes in the war zone of Europe notwithstanding they were said to be non-inflammable has disclosed the degree of painstaking thrift of Europeans in the past in preventing fires. The figures of fire losses indicate $200,000,000 of fire waste in the United States yearly, in comparison to the records of Europe (before the war began). No accurate estimate can be given of the loss of life in needless fires, but it Is esti mated that the fire loss is about $2.50 a person in the United States, and In Europe it is thirty-three cents. The fire loss in Chicago is over $5,000,000 a year; in Merlin with an equal popu lation it is $150,000. Robert Stone, a member of the Kan sas- legislature, In a speech on “For eign Fire Daws,” said, "Thoughtful people are asking the question: ‘Why is this difference - . -- The answer may be put In many ways, but In the final analysis It resolves Itself into the same proposition. We are a nation of mon ey makers; Europe Is a people of mon ey savers. We are a people of waste, they are a people of thrift. We figure that the most Important thing Is to make n dollar, and they that It is of equal Importance to save one. This Is evidenced by our hurried construc tion of Inflammable buildings; by their slow and solid masonry; In our willingness to pay a high rate of In surance with the attendant risk, and their insistence upon a low rate and unceasing care; In our elaborate fix tures for the putting out of fires and their precaution in preventing fires. "We regard fire as a misfortune and sympathize with the man who has one; they regard fire as a crime and Investigate and punish the man who Is guilty. This country has been en tirelv too lenient In fixing and lax In The Pyres Pyres in the night, in the night! And the roaring yellow and red, Trooper, trooper, why so white? We are out to gather our dead. We have brought dry boughs from the bloody wood And the hillside; We have felled great trunks, wet with the blood* of brothers that died; We have plied them high for a flam ing bed.

(Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) Tomorrow’s story—‘‘Mr. fox and His Crutch.” enforcing responsibility for fires, and In making it profitable, through val ued policy and other laws, for men to have fires.” A valuable object lesson to home owners was recently given by the Na tional Fire Protection Association in Chicago. Two cottages were built in Grant Park identical in size and de sign. One was built Of brick with fire-resisting roof and the other was a frame cottage with shingle roof, and ceiled Inside and out with %-lnch drop siding. All the Interior partitions of both houses were 2 by 4 stud parti tions, ceiled on one side only with%- inch siding. The cost of the frame house, was $629 and that of the house $640.05. There was a difference of less than two per cent in cost. The erection of these houses on the lake front attracted considerable attention and their burning as a feature of Firs Prevention Day and a test of the vari ous types of construction had been widely advertised. It is estimated that 25,000 people were present at noon of that day, the time set for the demon stration. The city firemen placed a bale of excelsior In each building un der identical conditions and at 12:30 o’clock both were set on fire. The alarm was given and the fire depart ment made a spectacular run down Michigan avenue attracting thousands more to the scene. The fire burned less than ten minutes but the frame structure was a total wreck while the brick cottage was structurally intact The door nnd window sashes were badly charred and would require re placing, and the Interior partitions anil trim were badly burned but the essential features of the brick cot tage were as good as ever. Adjusters estimated the frame house a total loss and the brick structure 80 per cent salvage. Is fire preven tion thrift? LET EVERY MAN DO HIS PART. What is needed In this country at the present time, more than anything else, to bring about bet ter conditions, says The Iron Trade Review, is a determination of every one to stand up and do his part. This country has Its troubles, but when compared with the loss of life and property, the suffering, sickness and all the dis tressing conditions that prevail in the old % world, our troubles are small indeed. It ts no time to for sake sound doctrines and adopt wild theories. It is no time for Americans to become a nation of leaners. It Is time for every man to stand erect and do his part pa tiently. persistently and courage ously. That, we believe, is exactly what a vast majority of the manufac turers in all parts of the country are doing at the present time. Special attention is being given to the question of unemployment. Borne Industries are working more nearly to full capacity than others, and In order to prevent increas ing idleness, many re-adjustments will be necessary. By reducing hours of labor rather than by dis charging employes, manufacturers are giving ns many men as possi ble employment. With money conditions improving, fair increase In activity may be expected In many industriesr and with hearty co-operatton of employers and employes, hardships of the winter will he greatly reduced. BUSINESS WILL IMPROVE. In discussing business conditions. The iron Trade Review Says: "We firmly believe the worst Is over. The drop In London exchange, the assurances of Great Britain that cotton cargoes In neutral ships will not be molested, the tremendous war exports of the past few weeks, the early opening of the Federal Reserve Banks and the greater conservative Influence In congress resulting from Tuesday's elections are all favorable factors. “No one expects immediate pros perity: but gratification may be ex pressed over the great forward strides that have been made since war was declared.
