worth while alone as it is to move
mountains, but with all agreed much
can be done.
Make Two Lists.
When everyone is interested and
the lists are made out to include
must haves," do HAYES" and
wants" estimate the cost of each
and then as if playing checkers, let
the wants which are worth while take
the places of DO HAYES" which are
unnecessary and yet cost the same.
You will find that you have left two
lists, one of must HAYES" and a sec
ond of wants which may be gratified
with no more money than you spent
before.
The way to save is to save first a
definite amount in definite way, then
spend according to a careful plan
which provides for the must HAYES"
and for as many wants as possible.
If you drift you will buy the do
HAYES" which are not needed and yet
absorb large amount of money.
The whoe secret of success in this
is n the careful planning and the
combined effort of every member of
the family.

Handling the Household Income
FAMILY COOPERATION
BY S. Agnes DONNA,

How do they do it?' They seem
to have everything they want, vet
save something. I never have any
thing except the must HAYES and
am always in debt"
Are you sure? What are your
must haves?" Make list of them.
an honest list, and see if you are not
having many things beside.
Family Must Agree.
The difficulty is with the extra
things. If you will first make your
list CT must haves' and then a u
of do haYes' you will find that .
the second list are many things you
could easily do without, and you
could use the money released first to
save and then to purchase more of
the things which you want.
How can such lists be made help
full in solving family money problems?
All members of the family must agree
upon three things: first, that change
in method is desirable; second, that
they will help in making the new
plan; third. that they will cooperate
in carrying out
1t is as impossible for one member
OF the family to accomplish anything

B0LSHEVlSM A FAILURE
If PEOPLE BUY W. S. s.

If the American people want
to inoculate this country against
the germs of Bolshevism, they
should invest their money in
Thrift Stamps, War Savings
Stamps, Treasury Savings Ger
tificates and other government
securities, according to Mrs.
Francis L. Higginson, director
of savings for the First Federal
Reserve District.
All Savers Capitalists.
Mrs. Higginson says:
Every man, woman and child who
invests their money in government
securities will rarely be converted
to Bolshevik principles, for Bolshe-
vism aims to do away with govern
ment and to distribute the savings of
the people among the inhabitants of
that country.
With money invested in govern
ment securities, person is in a
small way capitalist. They are al
so strong hackers of the government
IN which their money is invested"

SAVING CERT ICATES
ARE PROVING POPULAR

The governments new 500
and $1,000 Treasury Savings
Certificates have developed into
an ideal investment for admins
traitors of executors of estates,
who find it necessary to keep at
least a small part of their trust
funds in liquid securities, that
can be readily cashed.
This use for the new savings secu-
rites has appealed to those expert
enced in handling trust funds in vari-
GUS parts of the country, and Mrs.
Francis l.. Higginson, Director of Saw
ings First Federal Reserve District
declares that there will be a continu-
GUS demand for the new securities for
this purpose.
