called the subject "An Early Break

The main thing is to get the buds,

noaths; year, il possible. Many
people keep accounts, personal AMI
household, only in way that balances
aash and shows how it has been gen
orally expended. A budget should do
better than that.
An exact budget Is difficult to pro-
vide at present, with all living prices
in state of flux but with prevailing
upward tendency. Figures differ great
" in various sections Of the country,
frequently in various sections of the
same state But In strictly industrial
centers, 1t has been authenticity com

per cent of the ordinary income, shell

cent, and the various "sundries'' so
grouped because so difficult of more
exact classification, 20 per cent. In the
following suggestive budgets for vary
Ing incomes the Saving" item has
been placed first as most necessary
where the family income is not too
large and is practically inelastic.
This item may include life insurance,
savings bank accounts and such inev-
liable income-bearing governmental Sc

kind of incomes noted-as Liberty

The f1rst, second and third Liberty
