Tho Family Marketing and Budget

OOkUAHs O4kOEu A0AAVOkoss SVesA se-Ss -
The Family Marketing and Budget.
wonder how many housewives real.
izs that much of the family comfort de-
ponds on the way In which they market.
There are three ways OF marketing,
namely:
First, going to the market to select
ones purchases.
Second, having the grocer's boy call to
take the order.
Third, giving the order to the grocery
or market by telephone.
Undoubtedly, the last 10 the easiest Tor
the housewife, and some things can be
said in its favor. She can think out
carefully beforehand just what she Ia
out of, and needs for the day. She can,
also. ask prices and find out something
of the quality of the articles In question.
Using the phone for marketing Is con.
venient, especially for the woman who
keeps no maid, or is kept at home by
small children.
As to the grocer's call for the order,
much can be said in favor of this plan
for the grocer. For one thing, he Is sure
of the customers trade. And he usual
" can make larger sale, by having his
boy or man we'll versed in the stock on
hand, for the day.
This way of marketing, also, has its
advantages for the housewife, II she,
too, is looking out for her interests and
does not allow herself to order things
she really does not need or care for, just
to be obliging. 1t Is a great comfort to
feel that, let the weather be what 1t may,
the matter of food for the family has
been provided for.
OF the first method OF marketing, that
of going in person to the market and
selecting ones eatables, much can be
said in its favor. 1t may be the most
economical or just the reverse, according
to whether the housewife decides before
going just what she will and will not
buy.
recently asked my grocer which OF
the three ways he preferred to have bis
customers use. "Oh," said he, ~ pre-
fer to have them come to the store, for
then they usually buy more on seeing
the different things"
Having tried all three methods, sepa-
rately, and combined them all, at times,
I think much depends upon how the
housekeeper Is situated as to the time at
her disposal, her chance to get out, and
very much on her ability to think out
her orders carefully before she places
them by any method. =,
In conclusion, would say that all
three methods are good, but the house
wife must do the thinking, without
which no method will be successful.
EXPENSE BUDGET
Very closely related to the question OF
bills is the family expense budget. l
have found it great help in running a
home to make up a monthly expense
budget. Other concerns or institutions,
which lay claim to business ability, have
monthly expense budget by which
they are guided and by which they COM
pute their profits or losses. Why should
not the home be conducted on the same
sane basis?
Something like the following budget
may meet the requirements of the aver
age home. OF course, it is for each
housekeeper to make her own budget:

II the housewife has an allowance, as
she should, on which to run the house,
she can soon tell by comparison with her
budget, whether she ia running it within
the means allotted for that purpose. In
this way she can curtail or increase her
expenditures and always know just how

Greek Springs? If you ever intend to
write the history of your travels and
don't come here, that history will be
most incomplete and you will have
missed second home with home sur
roundings and it's comforts. There
are rural attractions here that carry
you away from the whirl and tedium
of town or city life. 1t is such a
home to all lovers of good home
that one regrets that his stay is to
come to an end and he must part
with and cut asunder (perhaps for
ever) associations that are so uncom-
mon at most health resorts. The
host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs Walter
Bryan, of our county, with their two
noble sons and their little perpetual
motion, Miss Geneva, who, like little
hummingbird, fits and fits here, there
and everywhere, but never sits. In
fact, they are all busy as bees turn
ing out honey.
The cuisine is all one can desire,
or his appetite calls for. If one de-
sires anything else he simply ought
not to have it; he's a spoilt kid and
should be put in the garret.
| said Mr. and Mrs Bryan have two
noble sons here at home. Yes, they
are noble fellows, very unlike the
most of the nobility of our own
town, who toll not, neither do they
spin, and who are long way from
Tipperary. These boys are as busy
as their sister, forever on the buzz.
Cuttino is a prosperous little mer-
chant at Bingham. You remember
he had his thigh cut off by gin sew
eral years ago. Theodore (they call
him Bill because when he first saw
the light his daddy said he looked
just like Bill Lee, of ouK town, so he
has been called Bill ever .since) has a
5-passenger Ford and conducts the
passenger traffic from Bingham to
the springs and from the springs to
North Carolina and other points, and
he is just suited for the work. The
boys are joyial. cultured fellows, and
the girls all seem to have both eyes
on them, but it seems they have not
decided on which one yet. They love
their home too we'll to have one of
their own.
The Government of France has
offered 10000, 900 francs to the IL
ventor of perpetual motion. 1t has
not yet been claimed by any invent
or. Many suitors ranging in ages
from those in their teens up to a
septuagenarian have sought the
hand of that other perpetual mo-
ton, but in vain. Selah!
These springs are aristocratic in
their nature. | mean they are loath
to associate or mix with other wa
ters; they seem to pride themselves
on mission of ,benefcence to man.

Cedar Swamp Defeats Indian
town at Baseball.

Benson, July 5:-Twice or thrice
previous to last Saturday the Cedar
Swamp and Indiantown base ball
teams have crossed bats and each
game resulted in an easy victory fer
theCedar Swamp boys, but last Satur-
day the Indians net the Ce dar SW amp
boys with a 'war-whoop" on the
diamond and this, with the enthusi-
astic roofing of the fans, razzle daz-
zled the visitors completely. 1t was
a good game, for several innings
neither side making score. About
she fifth, however, Cedar Swamp
made score and the Indians did
likewise. The tie had to be broken
and Indiantown did the work by
doubling the scores on the visiting
team before the game ended. How
ever, the Cedar Swamp team SEEM
ed to be invincible and played Sec
ond game in the afternoon, when
the players on both sides kept the
umpire, John j Snow. strictly on the
alert to decide quickly on the close
runs and field work of the teams.
Soon the Indians began to weaken
and the visitors heaped up scores on
them until the game was called on
account of approaching darkness.
The visitors departed for their homes
with a kindly feeling towards the
genteel young men of the opposing
team and long lingering recollec-
ton of the grand dinner, elegantly
served by the ladies of that section.
Ye scribe regrets that he was not
present on, the festive occasion at

day was fine, with gentle breeze
waving the foliage of the oaks in
in the grove, making it pleasant for
the pleasure-seekers. All nature
seemed attuned to make the day one
of bright sunshine, beauty and glao-
some gayety and so it was until in
the afternoon, when distant cloud
brought down refreshing shower
but cleared away just at the appoint
ed time for the ball game.
