Let the Income be Fairi, Dlyidsd, "Hnan
Allowance for Each Member.

Allowance for Each Member
Every weIl-regulated household should
adopt the allowance system. The head
OF the household should not spend all the
money. The wife ought TO be fun part
ner and tho children should have their
share OF the income.
First a certain sum should be laid aside
for living expenses and this should be dis
bursed by the wife. Women are more
economical than men and the wife can al
ways make dci;ar go farther than the
husband Ny lord thinks Il beneath his
dignity TO sickle over pennies, but my
lady knows that penny saved is penny
made and that many pennies make dol
lar
The wife should always have n certain
sum each month for her clothes and pin
money. and for the children's clothes and
other necessary expenses. Each child
should also be given an allowances
much as can be reasonably set aside for
that purpose-for its Individual use. This
will give the child n certain independence
and impose certain responsibility and
teach the value OF money. The child that
must rely upon its own allowance Tor its
little wants will soon learn that money
does not grow on trees" as the saying
goes. and that II IL wastes it must also
want.
But at the same time the child should
be urged TO lay hy something each month
from IT'S allowance and encouraged 20
save as much as possible Such course
IS sure 10 teach lessons of economy and
thrift that viii be most valuable In after
life
As 20 how these savings may be invest
ed IS another matter. A first rate plan
IS for father. mother and children 10 take
out Jointly or severally running shares In
a building and loan association. In
such an investment all hands would soon
become interested and would make sacri-
ficcs II necessary IN order 20 meet the
payments each month Money thus invest
cd IN a Richmond building and loan asso-
citation is safe Investment because 10
is loaned out on first class city property
no institution Yields handsomer profits
than q good building and loan association
The family who will adopt the plan thus
suggested win never have cause to regret
It.

Saturdays Primary Meetings.

Last Saturday throughout the coun-
ty, in response to the call made by
Chairman Peddicord, Republican pri-
mary meetings were held for the pur-
pose of sending delegates to the coun-
ty convention which met in Oakland
on Tuesday. The greatest interest in
the meetings were centered in sending
delegations favorable to either Sen
ator Ravenscroft, John Shartzer or
a. F. George for the State Senate.
The meeting in Oakland was one of
the most exciting ever held here. At
the opening Of the meeting by Col.
a. g. Sturgiss. chairman of the dis
trict committee, the court room was
crowded and the interest in the bal
loting was intense. The polls We're
opened at2 O'clock and We're kept open
until 4, wnef tffiie tffi ballots were counted
showing that 265 had been cast and
that the delegation favorable to Mr..
Shartzer had been elected by a ma
jority of 81.
In the other districts the interest in
the meetings We're as great as in Oak
land, but a small vote was cast, ex-
cept in District No. ., where 175 bal
lots were cast.
