THE USE OF MONEY, OR THE
FINANCIAL TRAINING OF CHILDREN

Ihe need for financial training is
increasing as civilization progresses
ana we believe should become a part
OF our school system. This training

spect to meet and cope with the new
financial condition which will con-
front America at the close of the
war and the influx OF foreign immi-
grafton to this country that will
naturally follow.
Parents have always had more or
less trouble in the financial training
OF their children and the problem
has grown more acute in our country
with the development OF the new

OF no better way to begin this much
needed but neglected training than

social and moral point of view, and
the opportunities this economical
training would give US, and if
America is to be the America which
we read about, it is high time that
we were awakening to the condi-
tions already mastered by other ma
tions. With us, the knowledge OF
spending precedes that of earning
without regard of the cost.
This question and conditions, it
seems, would afford a splendid op-
portunity for the saving banks to co.
operate with the children and the
schools in developing this training
and at the same time be means of
profit to them in more ways than
one.

to do is to map out some organized
plan and forever and eternally work
to that end.
Personal Experience
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. w. j.
Roddey, whom you all know. brought
to Rock Hill some alfalfa seed and
distributed this seed to twenty-five
different farmers. He gave TO each
one of these farmers sufficient
amount of seed to plant one-half
acre of land. The result of this lit
tie undertaking is that we to-day
ded alfalfa in the community sur
rounding Rock HILL To-day we are
sellers of feed stuff One Of our far
mers sold last year $4,000 worth OF
alfalfa hay, and numbers of our
other farmers sold large quantities
of all kinds of hay. and for the first
time in our history we shipped out
several car loads of oats. / remember
when we commenced to talk and
write articles for the newspapers
about using three drill planters to
plant oats between the cotton rows
that l went to one of our hardware
dealers and told him he had better
get some of these drills. He laughed
at me and told me that he wasn't
going to allow me to fool him into
loading up on something that
couldn't be sold. IT wasn't long af-
ter that until he was ordering them
by wire. Now the majority OF our
oats and rye are planted by that plan.
Two years ago we commenced 10

curity. the money to be paid back

ordered in hogs, and the result is
that we have now in our community

Makinn a HENS Nest.

Next time you find a nest of eggs
which hen has stolen away, take a
lesson in the proper architecture Of
such a structure. It may save few
broken eggs or poor hatch the next
time you proceed to set hen in your
own clumsy, human fashion. The key
note of the stolen nest is it's flattened,
shallow design. This is the way ma
ture has demanded it should be con-
structed to give the best result. How
different from the deep, followed out
contraption into which so many peo-
pie pile the eggs they expect Biddy
to transform into downy chicks. A
nest, to prove satisfactory, should be
shallow enough to permit hen to
turn her eggs properly. It should be
fat enough to permit the newly
Matched chicks to lie where they are
when released from the shell, instead
of sliding down into the bottom and
having the eggs roll on top of them

pal electors, but they are not actually
entitled to exercise the franchise or
to become members of the city's gov
erning bodies. The custom amounts
nowadays to little more than pub
lie expression of esteem, but its his
tory goes back to the medieval days
when it was a notable and valuable
gift. When the custom originated
there was no general recognition of
the right of freedom of domicile, and
cities were more like private corpora
tions with restricted membership
than our modern cities Such men,
bership-municipa citizenship - was
usually obtained only after a long
period of apprenticeship to one of
the recognized guilds, followed by ex-
animation, and enrolment as mas
ter workman" In such circumstances,
the immediate and unencumbered gift
Of ''the freedom Of the city, by the
vote of the magistrates was con-
siderable favor, and it was only grant
ed to persons whose wealth or re-
nown made their citizenship substan-

required when the floors are at the
ground level This method of con-
struction illustrates one of the many
changes that have been made in
bungalows in fitting them to condi-
tions.
A basement in connection with a
bungalow that is to be used the year
round is of even more Importance
than cellar in a larger house., Bunga-
lows are made as compact as possible,
so that there is no extra space for the
many things around house. For this
reason the room that is provided in a
cellar is more appreciated than it
would be otherwise. The bungalow
generally covers more ground than a
house, which makes it possible to
have a large basement that can be
partitioned off into rooms for different
purposes. A cold storage room, laun-
dry and furnace room and bins for fuel
should be provided Very often a cor
ner of the basement is. finished off
with small bench SO that this part
can be used as workshop.
The exterior of this bungalow is
finished in an unusually attractive
way The walls from the roof down
to grade, are shingled in alternate
wide and narrow courses, which gives
handsome lined effect. The roofs
are made quite fiat and the various
projecting gables are distinctive fea

rangement is specially well suited to a
house of the bungalow type. 1t is
quite little longer than it is wide
and the fireplace in the end makes it
seem even longer than it is.
The dining room is connected to the
living room by a wide cased opening
and a co-annade. AS these two rooms
blend in together, the woodwork and
general plan of the rooms should be
designed to match SO as to form a
harmonious combination. The design
of the built-in furniture, such as the
buffet and the bookcases on each side
of the fireplace, should be planned in
be suitable to both the rooms.
The lighting in these rooms will
make them the envy of everyone.
Four windows open out from the din
ing room, and a nice decorative effect
is obtained by the window box. The
two outer windows of these four are

window with a easement window on
each side opens onto the front porch.
Smaller windows are also placed over
each of the bookcases fanking the
fireplace.
The kitchen is placed directly be-
hind the dining room and is arranged
so as to be as useful and convenient
| as possible. The design Of this part
of the house has received as much at
tention as any of the other parts. Il

be appreciated by anyone who has

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta.
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell a carload of
hogs at the high price Of eleven cents
pound, live weight. The sale was
made short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was a record, although
prices have since gone as high as
S11.12k per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
his farm produces, as there is prac-
dcally no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes in for raising hogs. beef
and dairy products. With Western
Canada's cheap lands, heavy crops, and
climate free from diseases of stock.
the stock farmer is as sure of success
as anyone can be.-AdVertisement.
