NEW YORK, Oct Jack Demp-

gage in battle in defense Of his title.
So forget the matches which man

that he does not regard the candidates

operation performed on his nose. The

KEEP UP THRIFT IN SCHOOLS
Pupils to Be Taught Principles OF
Saving With Experience In Buying,
Selling and Account Keeping.

With the resumption Of school this
month many of the educational fea-
lures of the Thrift and War Savings
Stamps campaigns will be conferred In
the classrooms. The continuation Of
the Little Lessons in Thrift which
were sent direct to all the school
teachers in the five states of the Sew
enth District during the first six
months of the year will be provided
for. These lessons are designed for all
grades, but pay particular attention to
the younger classes, where 1t is de-
sired to instill early the principles of
thrift and saving.
In all eighth grade schools and in
high schools 1t is planned to interest
the pupils in personal accounts, a sys-
tematic and regularly conducted or
ganizatiOn being formed In each school
for that purpose. The system will
include personal experiences in buy
ing, selling and account keeping.
Students in all colleges and univer-
stiles will be enlisted in campaign
to popularize personal accounts and
systematic savings. Domestic science
teachers in public schools, normal
schools and colleges, and agents Of ex-
tension departments will be utilized to
make this individual budgeting OF
students incomes effective.

HOW A SCHOOL BANK WORKS
Savings System in Eastern Institution
Results in $4,000 Deposits, Aver
aging Weekly More Than $f40.

Twelve years ago a New England
school principal called meeting Of
the mothers and fathers in his dis
trict, and proposed that they help their
youngsters and himself start school
savings bank. If children were to pa
trOnize such an institution, they would
have to have money, and he suggested
that parents help them earn money by
their own labor. He told them that
the bank was to be part of school
training, teaching thrift, industry,
prudence and wisdom.
Today this school savings bank, in
the Henry Barnard school, Hartford,
Conn, has deposits of more than $780,
600. The average weekly deposit dur
ing twelve years has been more than
$40. The largest deposit by any child
since the opening Of the bank is 81 ,480,
and the smallest less than 81.
Operation of this bank is simple.
Scion P. Davis, the school principal,
describes it: Deposits are received
every Monday morning during the first
half-hour of school. The pupils of
the eighth grade act as tellers, each
being assigned to given room. Each
child is provided with pass book
in which his deposits are entered by
the teller.
Deposits are made at the teachers
desk, in the presence of the teacher
and the teller, who enters them in his
roll book. The teacher and teller then
verify all deposits and place them in
an envelope, which the teller delivers
to the school secretary, who compares
roll book and envelope, verifying the
items. The envelopes are then for
warded to the Hartford Society for
Savings, where the accounts of the
school are pledged.
At interest periods, December,
March and June, the roll books are
examined by the secretary, and per-
sonal account is opened at the Society
for Savings for each pupil who has
So in the school bank. After this, at
these periods, all amounts of 81 or
more, standing to his credit on a pu-
pills school deposit book, are added to
his personal account. If any pupil
wishes to withdraw his money writ

parents personal application Is re-

COLLEGES FACE UNUSUAL
DIFFICULTIES THIS YEAR
Large EnrolIments Anticipated and
No Money Available to
Meet New Needs.

Never have the colleges and uni
versities of Wisconsin been face to
face with a problem Identical to what
has arisen this year. With the war
over and disqualification of the mill
tary services about complete, the col
leges are preparing for unusually large
increases in enrolment. But never
have the colleges been less equipped
to take care of additional students.
Larger faculties are needed But the
presidents of the Wisconsin colleges
are vitality concerned with the prob
lem Of holding the men and the women
they already have. inadequate sala-
ries are forcing many teachers to
abandon education and to go into
business.
New buildings are needed. New and
up-to-date equipment should be pur-
purchased. Old buildings and old
equipment should be repaired. All
of which takes money And the COL
leges haven't 1t.
To help solve these serious prob
lens of the smaller colleges of the
state is one of the purposes of the
Wisconsin Colleges Associated which
has just opened headquarters at the
Hotel Pfster in Milwaukee and is
about to start statewide educational
campaign concerning the needs of
these colleges.
The members of the association are
Beloit, Campion Carroll, Lawrence,
Marquette, Milton, Northland and
Ripon During the latter part of Octo-
Der it is planned to raise 100000
which will be distributed on basis
of student hours.

FINANCING THE FARM
ON THE BUDGET PLAN
War Savings Organization Gives Tiller
of Soil System on Which to In
crease Capital for Future.

Farming nowadays justly is recog-
nized as a business and profession.
AS a profession it is prepared for as
carefully as any other branch Of highly
specialized endeavor; as business it
is conducted according to business
methods and upon businesslike basis.
Old-time "hit or miss" farming meth
DDS fail utterly under the present eco
nomic regime.
The first step toward businesslike
farm management consists Of system
atizing farm finances. Because farm
moneys come in irregularly they have
been handled too often in the past
without any adequate accounts or
record. This method, rendered impos-
sible by income tax necessities, long
has been scorned by the successful,
progressive farmer who believes In
modern, machinery, modern comforts,
modern efficiency practices and prof.
ectS. Such q farmer employs a farm
budget just as he employs grain, soil
and weather statistics in the arrange
ment of his farm operations, takes a
good farm journal and demands fine
and well-tested seeds. Because not
every farmer cares to spend time max
ing out an individual farm budget gov
ernmental experts, working through
the War Savings Stamps department
of the War Loan Organization, Sew
enth Federal Reserve district, have
provided for the use of every farmer
who cares to employ them farm rec
ords, including account sheets, that
render the keeping Of farm accounts
a simple task.
One page of the simple pamphlet
containing the indicated records is de-
voted to receipts, it's opposite to ex-
penditures, each registered every day
of the year. Milk, butter, poultry,
eggs, cattle and hogs, sheep, oats,
corn, hay, fruit, vegetables and miscel-
laneous-these are the headings under
which the irregular or recurrent
sources Of income are listed.
Total income for each day is shown
at the right of the page, monthly total,
collective and for separate items, at
the foot. The expenditures page, SIM
ilarly arranged. shows headings Of:
Savings, including War Savings
Stamps purchased, bank deposits, etc. !;
labor; food, including groceries and
meat; clothing; repairs; blacksmith;
machinery; rent, insurance and taxes |;
live stock and feed; buildings; litera-
ture, which includes books, magazines
and newspapers; recreation; and mis-
cellaneous. Again, daily totals are
shown at the right Of the page, month
~ totals, itemized and general, at the
foot. Companion pages, similarly ar
ranged, show yearly summaries, al
most simultaneously computed, of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the year.
War Savings Stamps make ideal in
vestments for the farmer. Purchas-
able for sums ranging from 81 and
few odd pennies to $1,000, built up by
means Of Thrift Stamps, should this
prove more convenient, they are non
depreciable, nOnf1uctuating, income
bearing and distinguished by high rate
of maturity interest. Previous to ma
turity they may be redeemed, If neces-
sary, at precise face value.

WHAT EVERY TOWN HAS

No town is so small, says E. E. Kelley of Toronto, Kan. but that 1t it has a knocker, 3 tightwad, a gossip-male and female-a leading citizen, a man who gives generously, a man who takes the head in boosting, bar Der equal to the city kind, a beau tiful girl. an old maid who would have made the right kind of a man a good wife, tough boy, more widows than widowers, at least two boys who are known as
 good sports, and girl that does such good job of canning
 that she is frequently without a bean.
