A WlFE'S ALLOWANCE,
The Method Which One Woman Say.
Solves the Problem.

SO1VeH the Pro blem.
Much has been written about the
wife's allowance, but believe that my
husband has found the simplest solu-
ton of the problem. He is profess
sional man, so his income is very irreg-
ular. and no regular sum is set aside
for household expenses. The money is
all placed in the bank in his name, but
the bank officials have orders to accept
my check for any amount he has on
deposit. Whenever any money is need
ed for household or personal expenses
I simply draw on the deposit, marking
the checks with "H" for house or "P"
for personal expenses. When any arti-
Gle costing considerable sum is pur
chased 1t is paid for with separate
check and the check SO marked. He
does the same. and no questions are
ever asked as to what the money was
used for. The only account we keep Of
expenditures is the Cancelled checks
which are returned each month by the
bank. We have always lived within
our income and saved something each
year.-Good Housekeeping.

Half a dozen veteran congressman
were telling stories in committee
room the other afternoon when one
of the number recalled how "Dave"
Henderson of Iowa escaped being
fined $4,000 while the Mills tariff
bill was under discussion. 1t had
been difficult to maintain a quorum
and the house directed the sergeant
at arms to compel the presence of
absent members. One by one they
were brought in and on one pretext
or another were allowed to go un-
punished. At midnight Henderson
was brought before the speaker.
He declared he had no excuse to
offer, whereupon another Iowa man
moved that he be fined $4,000.
Half a hundred seconds were imme-
diately heard, Speaker Carlisle put
the motion and about 200 voices
yelled AYE" Then the speaker
called for the noes, and Henderson
in agonized tones alone responded.
"1'he noes have it." gravely said the
speaker "and the gentleman is ex-
cused."

A desire for good clothes these days
Is no longer regarded as vanity. It is
an indication rather of common sense
Almost every woman nowadays, no
matter what her station of life, con-
siders it duty to be neatly and at
tractively dressed. In fact, well made
and modish clothes are quite as essen
tial to the business woman rs to the
girl of fashion, for frocks oftentimes
are an outward expression Of an inner
grace. As an index of character clothes
count for much.

There were few schools holding
eight months of school which would
not comply with the law touching
heating and ventilation. If they
had done so they would have re-
ceived the state aid of $50, now Civ
en- to the schools of the second class
which have eight months of school
and employ teacher with second
grade certificate complete, and meet
certain other conditions.
The special state aid to all Of the
schools in Redwood county will
amount to $12, 800, an amount which
fully compensates the districts for.
all the extra expense and trouble
they have. had. But above and be-
yond all this is the fact that these
schools are so much better ia all
ways that the money compensation
is lost sight of, as it should be. 1t
is SO true that it is singular that
more trustees do not place their
schools in better condition.
Mr. Race says that the state
should not let up on this fight for
the betterment of rural schools, un-
til the boys and girls in the country
have just as good school rooms, and
have them as well ventilated, as
have the boys and girls in the vii
lagos and cities.
A remarkable fact in connection
with Redwood county holding the
banner for rural school education
for the past several years is that
teachers of the highest class are
continually looking for positions in
Redwood county schools. Mr.. Race
has long list of instructors who
have written him for positions in
the best rural schools of the county,
and really has been furnishing the
superintendent of one or two ad-
joining counties with this class of
instructors. The salary touches
from $50 to $50 per month, as high
as the salary of any grade teacher
in the Redwood Falls city schools,
while the expense of living in the
city is much higher.

RACE MAKES A BIG GAIN
Gains Seven in First Class and
Gets IL Started in New
Second Class.

Redwood county, under the direc-
tiou of Supt. S. J. Race, again prom
Uses to be the banner rural school
county in the state, it having so
rural schools of the first class to
make application and to receive the
1925 allowed each rural school meet
ing with certain requirements laid
down by the legislature. In addi-
tion to having so rural schools of
the first class it has IL rural schools
OF the second class, which will draw
$50 each as state aid.
Supt. Race received word from
the department of public instruc-
ton in ST. Paul the latter part of the
week, to this effect. In addition he
was informed that Redw wood Falls
and Lamberton were on the high
school list, and that each would re-
ceive the high school aid of 81, 500.
The graded schools, receiving $3.50,
are those located at Morgan, San
l.born, Walnut Grove, Belview and
Wabasso, while the semi-graded
schools receiving state aid are those
located in Delhi, Milroy, Revere,
Vesta, Seaforth and Wanda.
The information was certainly
pleasing to Mr.. Race, and he is of
opinion that no other county in the
state will reach Redwood county in

time in succession. Last year Red
wood county had 43 schools draw
ing the state aid, or four more than
the larger and more populous rural
districts of Hennepin, and it has
made a gain of seven since that
time, in addition to all of those
schools since placed in the second
class.

meant that there were in this coun-

were $50 teachers of all grades, but
