ECONOMY JVATCHWORD New County Court Will Not Permit Officials to Purchase Supplies for Office. That the new county court will it-' self purchase all county supplies and that officials must pay for any sup plies ordered by them and not bought by the court, is the assertion made by County Judge-elect Tou Velle and Commissioner-elect Leever r.fter conference held in Medford Satur-' day. Economy Is to be the watch word of the new administration. "We were elected pledged to econ omy and efficiency," stated Judge Tou Velle, "and we intend to live up to it. All leaks will be stopped. The court has to pay all bills, and as the responsible parties, we intend : to exercise the same care and vigi- j lance that we do in our personal af fairs. "The law will be strictly lived up to. County offices will be opened promptly at S o'clock a. in. and kept open until 5 o'cloc't p. m. Only dep uties really needed will be approved, and the surplus ones cut out and efficiency will be the sole require ment." "The county court will buy the supplies from the lowest bidder preference being given county firms wherever possible," stated Commis sioner Leever. "The new board is in accord in these subjects and will work together. "One of our first moves will be to re-district the county in road dis tricts, cutting up some of the dis tricts that are unwieldy and too large. The money to be spent by the supervisors will be under our direc tion and upon our order. The com missioners intend to personally look after this work themselves, even if it takes all of thoir time." First Button Ornaments. London Globe: In early times when man was master, clothes were fastened with strings and brooches. The Norman nobility, who always had an eye to effect, spent consider able sums of money on their brooch es, which were chastely wrought, and added greatly to the beauty of a costume. When the poorer people indulged in brooches they were content if such accessories to the toilet fulfilled the purpose of holding the clothes to gether. The earliest buttons were merely adopted as ornaments and ful filled no useful function. In the earliest paintings one finds buttons without any corresponding button holes. This latter fashion Is still popular as regards ceremonial garb and uni forms. The button as an article of use, and not merely as an ornament, may be said to date from the reign of Edward I. These early buttons were of modest appearance and were manufactured from bone and wood. It was the usual custom to have two buttons stitched on the coat at the small of the back to enable a man to button back his coattails, so that he couid walk or draw his sword the more easily. These two buttons are still retained on modern coats, though any reason for their existence has long since departed. As wealth Increased gold and sil ver buttons made their appearance. We find Pepys writing: "This morning came home my fine camlett coat, with gold buttons, and a silk suit, which cost me money, and I pray God to make me able to pay for it." A little later Pepys refers to his jackanapes coat with silver buttons, and records the fact that he put on for the first time "my black camlett cont with silver buttons," from vHch it is evident he had a camlett i mt with silver buttons and one vsith gold. Pe;iys was only a man of mod erate means, and at the time when he was making such a display with his gold and silver buttons supposed himself to be worth about 500 clear In the world." But the gold and silver buttons were necessary if he were to keep in the fashion. Those who stood out side the fashionable world flattered their love for display by sporting gilt buttons. At a later date cloth but tons became very popular, but when Birmingham began to turn out metal buttons an act was passed in the reign of George I forbidding the manufacture of cloth buttons In or der that the new industry of metal buttons might have a chance to flourish. The metal button indus try made the most of the opportun ity, for all kinds of buttons now com pete on an equal footing for popular favor. This is a Fact. What do you do when you forget your lines?"
