The FanliLy
Budget
BY LORETTO G. LYNCH.
An Authority On All Matter. Per.
talning to the HousehoId.

W. HEEEvER I suggest bud
" get" Immediately some one
says: "Ah--but that is only
a theoD-it doesn't work out
can't be done in these high-cost
times" Yet municipalities. States,
nations and great business organ;-
zations have to make budget
each year to determine the expendi-
lures of the year to follow in order
to determine the amount of money
each will have to gather in to meg
these obligations, if for no other
reason.
A workingman complained to me
the other day OF the high cost of
living. Not a new topic by any
means. He told me he made good
wages. Yet, as the year ended, he
had not saved single cent, and he
declared that il he were to die to-
morrow, his friends would have 20
take up a collection to defray his
funeral expenses.
And in our country everywhere
today there are thousands of men
just like this one-just in his pre-
dicament And among my own
friends many. many women have
told me that they have just ceased
to worry about expense and have
just decided to live along from day
today like the famous lilies of tae
field who neither toll nor spin.
Ask any of these folks what they
spend their money for and they will
sort OF hupor you-if they like
you otherwise-and answer, "Why,
for living, OF course" Yet Giving
may be very broadly interpreted.
And some mean one thing by civ
ing and others mean quite a diff
ferent thing.
to food. shelter, and clothing, with
an allowance for recreation and
savings. For the past year 1 have
been studying at close range the
daily life in a number of representa-
tive families. And l find that among
those i have studied the working
mans family is most extrayagant.
Not for moment, folks. do these
people think they are extravagant,
nor do they mean TO be- but the
workingman seldom budgets his in
come, and the spending for some
one of the essentials; food, shelter.
clothing. or the spending for recrea-
tion is way out of proportion.
Without food, We cannot live.
And where the income is small.
naturally food takes a large pro-
portion OF the income. This is
necessary to life. to health. But
there are foods and foods. Do YOU
keep an account of the food you
purchase: Or do you just dip into
the family sugar bowl and send a
child marketing to the nearest shop
for foods that may be quickly pre-
pared?
Judicious marketing saves many
a dollar, while wise planning Of
meals saves many another dollar.
Milk. milk and then more milk in
soups, in cocoa, in simple puddinss,
in cream sauces for potatoes and
other vegetables. in combination
with eggs, etc. should be used nv
every family. Milk is very nourish-
ing and contains besides very desir-
able mineral salts. And every fam
lily will do we'll to double their milk
supply and cut down on the meat.

Omsk Throws Open
Vaults to Show 1t
Has Plenty Of Money

Omsk, July 10.-The Omsk gov
eminent has turned put its pockets,
speaking figuratively, to convince
any skeptics there might be among
Allied representatives present in the
capital that it is not without gold
reserve to back its currency issues.
Fifty members of Allied diplo-
matte and military missions filed
through the vaults of the State bank
on invitation by the Ministry of For
cign Relations, and viewed the
precious metal stacked ceiling high
in boxes and sacks.
There was represented in coin
and bullion~a total of 6~51,532,117
rubles, computed at standard rates
before the ruble became the uncer-
tain measure it is to-day. according
to figures furnished by the treasury
comptroller.
An interesting feature of the ex-
hibition was hundreds of gold and
silver gift plates, trophies. dinner
sets, statuettes. candelabra, ikons,
running into hundreds of thousands
OF dollars in value, representing loot
which the Bolsheviki had assembled
in Kazan and Samara and which
was removed for safekeeping when
the Czechs captured those cities a
year ago. A large part of this COL
lection represents personal property
of the bourgeoisie which can easily
be identified by rightful owners
when peace is restored.

Shortage Of Teachers in
Perry Co. Public Schools

New Bloomfield, Pa, July TO-
Although prospects of higher salar-
les than yer before are held out
and despite the fact that former
teachers have returned from army
service, the scarcity of public school
instructors in Perry county is more
acute this year than ever before.
Thus far this year, County Super
intendent of Schools d. A. Kline. of
New Bloomfield. has issued but fifty
one provisional teachers certificates
as compared with se~venty-five GER
tificates issued last year. The num-
Der ISSUED last year was insufficient
and some of the schools had to be
closed and the pupils instructed at
nearby schools. At a recent exami-
nation, instead of the several score
that formerly appeared for exami-
nations, a bare thirteen appeared
and twelve of these succeeded in
meeting the requirements.
High school graduates have al
ways been found in the rural schools
in large numbers. but this year there
are few of them seeking positions.
Many of these students during the
past several years have shown a
preference for a course at a State
Normal School and thus fitting
themselves for higher salaries.

By Associated Press.

Washington, July 10.-Bountiful
farm crops this year were indicat-
ed to-day in the Department of
Agriculture's July forecasts based on

crops combined amounts to $S,340,-
$4,000 based on July l farm prices.

wheat since the June estimate and
a reduction of 43. 900, 900 bushels in
