TEN FINANCIAL COMMAND
MENTS.

Those in charge Of National Thrift
Week which win be held next jan
uary have issued a decalogue for the
man who is trying to get ahead.
In ten commandments, there has
been summed up a program which il
carefully following will result in
putting every man on sound finan-
cial basis.
The commandments are:
1.-Nake budget.
Keep an intelligent record
Of expenditures.
3.-Have a bank account.
Garry life insurance.
5.-Aake will.
Own your own home
eventually.
Pay your bills promptly.
8.-Invest in war savings
stamps and other government
securities.
9.-Spend less than you earn.
1O.-Share with others. Thrift
without benevolence is doubt
full blessing.

status. They would have to do u

only difference is that the end comes
more quickly to the big fellow than
il does to the little fellow. The ten
commandments Of the Thrift Week
directors are worth studying. They
should be followed closely, but like all
good advice, they probably won't be.
