THE VALUE OF MONEY.
Common Sense Is What Many People
Lack in Many Purchases.

To learn the value of money is one of
the most necessary and valuable les
sons in life, not that one may become
niggardly and scrimping, but that the
best may be obtained from the money
TO be invested.
To many persons ten cents or a quar-
ter mean nothing They spend these
small sums without a second thought,
but to pay for these little insignificant
pleasures, they do without other things
that would mean more TO them, in fact,
the very things which they envy others
for having.
The little Injuries. if one can afford
them, need receive little thought, but ii
one must make a choice between the big
ger things and these smaller trillcS,
which when estimated count so fast into
dollar, it would seem that the prefer
ence should be given to the bigger
things. For instance cheap shoes are a
piece Of extravaganza to the buyer, but
many Of the unconscious spenders of
small sums have not the wherewithal
to buy a higher priced pair, and for this
reason, while never wearing neat foot
gear. thev are continually buving new
shoes. While the most expensive ar
Iticles are not always the cheapest in the
end, a suitable amount Of money AMI
commonsense outlayed in the purchase
of an article usually gives a result that
is satisfactory all the while it is worn.
Common sense, there is the rub So
many people seem TO be made up with
that valuable ingredient left out, or only

Although there Is said to be some

absence of pressure and the covering

WASHINGTON HEARS
PRESIDENT MAY MAKE
STATEMENT OF TERMS

Washington, August 24.-Events
seemed today to lend themselves to the
policy the president has adopted with
regard to the peace note OF Pope Bene-
dict.
While he has been waiting to make
his response the burden OF rejecting
the pope's terms has been shifted to
the shoulders Of the other nations, Of
the entente. Yet many things tndt-
cate that the time 10 becoming ripe
for a statement by the president Of
the war aims and peace terms OF the
United states.
The further calculation Of the pope's
note cabled today from Rome, in
which the Vatican Is depicted as
acknowledging that the invasion OF
Belgium must be paid for IL looked
upon here as but bringing the pope's
terms more into accord with the
known previous declarations OF Presi-
dent Wilson.
The capital today was filled with
talk of the possibility Of the presi-
dent coming before the congress at
the United States aims which would
at the same time embody his reply
to Pope Benedict.
It is predicted however that the
peace note will be the next big sub
tect to which the president will turn
his mind.
1t is believed that he will make this
statement before the soldiers Of the
United States appear in the battle
line.

DELAY IN DATE OF
DRAFT CONCENTRATION

Washington, Aug. Responsibility OF
further delay in mohflfzing the con-
script armies doomed UP today.
Although the three increments have
been ordered to mobilize on Septem-
Der s, Is. and October Q. It appeared
likely tonight that later dates will be
assigned within the next few days.
IN many instances the cantonments
are not near completion and there
are not enough uniforms and other
clothing for the $4,000 men.
This shortage was further tempo
rartly enhanced today by an order Of
Secretary Baker, eliminating all
sweatshop manufacture Of army cloth
ing. The order was issued as the re-
suit OF representations made by the
American Federation OF Labor
Secretary Baker declared that the
order would probably operate to cut
down temporarily the number Of in
flowing uniforms. but that eventually
It would increase the output.
