WEAK ON FINANCE
GIRLS STUDIES or MONETARY
SUBJECTS NEGLECTED..
MIR. FatherIy's Daughters Are Charm.
ing in All Ways, But They Have
Strange Ideas as to the
Handling Of Money.

Strange ideas Of finance our chill
dren are likely to have" said Mr.. Fa-s
therly. For one thing, they seem to.
think we are made of money!
If they want anything they think,
apparently, that all they have to do is
to ask their father for the money.
That he might have difficulty in sup.
plying all their wants is something
that seems never to occur to them,
and they don't understand 1t when
sometimes have to tell them that
there is kink in the exchequer and
that cannot just then honor their
demands. But they have other queer
ideas about money. For Instance:
I'VE make our two daughters each.
weekly allowance Of money for their;
various lesser wants. They spend this
money as they go along for many lit
tie things, or sometimes they accumu-
late 1t until they get enough for some
bigger thing that they want, and then
they buy that. And then sometimes
when the time has come when they
want to get this more costly thing
they find they haven't accumulated
quite enough. They borrow the bal
ance Of me. That is to say, they get
an advance on their allowance, which
they pay back In installments at their
convenience.
The home bank lets them take
their time about this. and sometimes
they are pretty slow. It is hard. up
hill work for ANYBODY to repay bor-
rowed money; guess we all know
that. So we never worry the girls
about repaying this borrowed money;
we let thew take their time about 1t,
and we charge them no interest.
Then comes along q week when
the home bank is pinched little and
when 1t would be a help to, call some
amount on these small loans: which
we do. when agreed to by the other
party. by deducting a sum from the,
weekly allowance and crediting the
same to the account Of the loan as an
installment in repayment. We don't
actually get in any money by this you
understand, but we have to pay out
less, and that In the circumstances
may be help. And now what do you
think one of my daughters says to- me
when make her this proposition?m
"She is ready and willing. in fact
glad. to let that deduction from her
allowance be made this week, to 1be
credited to the account of her loan.
but since this money is going to be a
help to me she wants to know ii 1
don't think I ought to allow her some
interest on It! have been out this
money all this time. but when she
pays any of It back she thinks ought
to pay her something for the use OF
it! Isn't that bewildering?
1T is my experience that Mrs. Fa-
therly is 9 great. economist. She never
wastes penny and she can make a
dollar go further than anybody ever
knew; but our daughters. charming
girls as they are. have only the haziest
notions about finance, and one Of
these is that money grows in their ia,
TIERS pocket"

OMAHA MARKET LETTER
South Omaha, April 9, 1910,
UNION STOCK YARDS.
CATTLE.

Partly owing to the sharp decrease
in recgipts and partly. Oh account of
the improved tone to the eastern beef
market the trend Of fat cattle values
has been steadily upward, and at tae
close beef steers are selling ali of 25c
TO 4Oc higher than week ago. Not
only has there been a we'll sustained
demand from local dressed beef houses
but 9 .stern shippers have been taking
quite a few cattle and the general
outlet has been broad and satisfactory.
Good to choice beeves have not shown
80 much Improvement as the fair to
medium grades, but all grades are
wanted and sell readily at the adj
vanced figures. The advance in COWS
and heifers has been even more mark I
ed than in beet steers. and practically
all kind Of the stock are selling as
we'll as at the best time two weeks
ago., In fact the demand for butch
er's stock has exceeded the supply ali
week, and the undertone to the trade
has been firm throughout. Common
canning grades do not meet with much
favor. but even these are selling TO
much better advantage than few
weeks ago. In stocke1s and feeders
the volume Of business has not been
very large. but prices are quotably
25c higher with a good clearance for
the week. Good light weight stuff
has been in especially urgent demand,
and has sold as.high as any time this
season.

Prices have declined about 4Oc on
an average this week and nothing
seems to stop the downward trend
Ut vslues. Supplies have been liberal,
but BY no means excessive, and the
break seems to be due to the slump

have been bearlsh and the trade has
been slow and draggy most of the time
although the offerings have been we'll

broad demand from both local packers
