RECONCILING YOUR BANK
ACCOUNT.

If you keep a checking account with
a bank it is important to both you and
to the bank to know that your ac-
counts agree. Errors are liable to be
made on both sides. A deposit that
should have gone to your account may
have been credited to one with SIM
liar name, and likewise check may
have been wrongly charged against
your account. Forgeries may have
been committed through your checks,
and errors Incidental to keeping a
large number of accounts are always
possible. 1t becomes important there
fore, to frequently adjust your bal
ance with that of the bank, both for
the sake of protection and for the
sake Of accuracy.
A great many banks balance the
pass book when left for this purpose,
by listing on the adding machine the
paid checks, deducting the amount
from the total of the deposits, the diff
ference representing the amount on
deposit. Other banks now issue a
monthly statement in the form of a
typed sheet, containing all deposits
made and checks paid, when the bal
ance is struck. This obviates the ne
cessity of balancing the pass book,
which becomes merely a memorandum
of deposits made.
Whatever the method, you should

With the first sultry days of sum-

Potato Bugs and How to Exterminate Them


The Colorado Potato Beetle, COM
monty called the potato bug, did not
always live on the potato plant. 1t
was first found many years ago in the
Rocky mountains. At this time there
were very few of them and they lived
on wild plant somewhat like the po-
tato plant. When people began to grow
potatoes in that region, the potato
beetle took liking to the plant and
soon they were found wherever po-
tatoes were grown.
Life History.
The adult potato beetle lives in the
ground over winter. They come cut
early in the spring and lay their or
ange colored eggs on the under side
of the leaves soon after the plants ap-
pear above ground. In a week or ten
days these eggs hatch into red grubs
which eat the leaves. When these
.grubs are full grown they dig into the
ground and change into mature beet
les like the ones we see first early in
the season. There are three or four
broods a year, each female lays sew
-.eral hundred eggs. Thus a few bugs
in the beginning of the year may lie
albe to do an immense amount of dam
age.
Control of Pest.
1t seems that potato beetles have
no serious natural enemies, such as
birds or parasites. This is because of
their poisonous nature and disagree
able taste. Where one has only a
small patch they can be kept in check
by knocking the adults into pan and
burning them before they have a
chance to lay their eggs. Larger areas
are usually controlled by spraying
the vines with Paris green or arsenate
of lead. The quicker the young bugs
are attacked with poison the easier it
is to kill them.
Paris Green is High-Use Arsenate of
of Lead.
Paris green is higher in price than

SERIES OF TALKS ON THRIFT

not delay reconciling the balance. 1t
is easily to be seen that the banks
balance will not agree with your check
book, by reason of the fact that you
have issued checks which may not
have been presented for payment. 1t
is a good plan to consider every
check issued as Immediately paid, and
deducted from your bank balance. If
you do this, you will never be deceived
as to the condition of your account.
Number all checks consecutively
and when returned from the bank ar
range them numerically, and check
them as to amount with the check
book stubs. After you have ascer-
tanned what checks you have issued
that have not been paid, subtract the
amount from the balance shown by
the bank, which should agree with
your own balance. If any difference
occurs, after assuring yourself that
you are right, report the matter at
once to the bank.
1t is well to examine the checks re-
turned to see that they are all signed
by you, and that the amounts have
not been raised, the latter being prov
en- from the checking process above
noted. If you will follow these sim
pie directions, and see that your ac-
count is reconciled at least every go
days, it will help both you and the
bank officials, for they desire frequent
reconcilements and do not care to
have vouchers accumulate for a long
period.

other peplum models, developed in a
soft tone of satin, may be worn for
morning, sports wear, or for after
Moons.
The sheer linens, cottons and silks
are all very popular for frocks and
blouses. Pale tones and white pre-
dominate. Organizes and voiles are
dainty and cool for Afternoon frocks,
and net and taffeta are combined eff
fectively for evening and the more
elaborate afternoon dresses.
Separate Coats and Skirts.
How the separate skirt could ever
have been laid aside for a season or
two, as it was, is indeed a mystery,
when one considers how very practical
it is. Its popularity this season, how
ever, is quite making up for the year
or two of Indifference. Separate skirts
of taffeta satin, faille and similar
silks are being worn considerably for
all daytime purposes combined with
blouses of Georgette, chiffon and the
other sheer silks. For sports purposes,
striped and checked linens, canvas
weaves, cotton velours, corduroys, and
the various white corded cottons are
favored, as well as the novelty wash
satins and jersey silks; wool jersey in
bright tones of rose, green, gold, and
like shades is also popular.
The separate skirt and contrasting
coat are particularly smart for sports
purposes. Some of the good shops
are showing cream-white serge skirts,
combined with wash satin blouses, and
coats of blue serge, or the novelty
striped silks or linens, for tennis, golf
and the like. This combination of
white skirt and blue coat is not new,
of course, but it is unusually effective.
Handkerchief Linen Blouses
Organdy, wolfe, crepe de Chine and
the wash satins are practical and pop
ular for blouses this summer, and a
particularly dainty revival is handker-
chief linen. Although one expects
linen to crush more easily than al
ihooG ally VI tuC VIISI uldI6T1dlS, IL is
nevertheless cool and fresh for sum-
mer wear. There are some especially
pretty stripes and patterns in these
linens, combinations of rose, French
blue, pale greens, and the various
other pastel shades, now favored in
the crepes, voiles and other sheer cot
tons and silks. Two effective peplum
blouses are illustrated here; one is of
pongee,> a slip-on model, finished at
the normal waist with the new elastic
shirring, and the other is of pale pink
organdy. The pongee blouse is worn
with pongee skirt, making a cool
frock for mornings or informal after
noon purposes. The organdy blouse,
which closes down the front with
loops and tiny crystal buttons, is belt
edtwith narrow black grosgrain rib
bon belt, and is worn with one of the
new black satin skirts. This is one of
the novel combinations of the season
for afternoon wear.
Neck finishes and cuffs offer partic-
ularly interesting possibilities this
season. A well fitting cuff has much

it has been in years. 1t is now selling
at about twice as much per pound re-
tail and may advance still more before
the season is over. Arsenate of lead
is practically the same price as last
season. This means that arsenate of
lead will be used for spraying instead
of Paris green. Arsenate of lead is
in the market in either paste or pow
der form. Experiments at the State
Experiment Station show that arse
nate of lead is better than Paris
green; it is not necessary, therefore,
to neglect spraying because Paris
green is high. The seasons supply of
arsenate of lead should be bought at
once as it is possible that it will soon
rise in price like paris green.
Arsenate of lead is sold in the dry
and in the paste form. In the dry form
it may be mixed with water at the
rate of IL pounds of arsenate of
lead to so gallons of water. In the
paste form, usually sold in small pals,
it is to be mixed with water at the
rate of pounds to so gallons Of wa
ter.
Mixing and Spraying.
Care must be taken in mixing so
that all the material is mixed with a
small quantity of water before it is
placed in the sprayer. 1t is important
to keep the mixture we'll agitated dur
ing the spraying operation.
Arsenate of lead for potatoes should
be applied early in the season just as
the beetles are Matching. If the plants
are thoroughly covered at this time;
probably only one other spraying will
be necessary; namely, at the time
when a new generation of beetles is
at work.
Other advantages of arsenate of
lead are that it sticks to the leaves
longer and is not so apt to burn the
foliage. On a small scale it may be
applied with a whisk broom or KNAPP
sack sprayer; otherwise, one or two
horse barrel sprayer is used.
