Real Estate Editor. Washington Times:
Several months ago ! leased an apart
rnent for one year. The lease provides
that II can be terminated al any time by
either party giving sixty days notice TO tn
other party. | am anxious to leave the
apartment. Must I pay rent during the
SIXTY days after giving the owner notice
or only until a new tenant is secured for

In the absence OF any specific agree
ment 20 the contrary you are liable
for the rent for the sixty DAYS
whether you move al once or await
the expiration OF this period. AS
such a provision is usually placed in
a lease to protect the lessor during
the period when il might be difficult

that the lessor will refund any sur

is re-rented.

HELPING MINERAL POINT

AS a general rule merchants of today
are not satisfied with the trade that
comes to them within mile or two of
their doors, they are ambitious for out
side trade. and they are more than ever
cxerting their energies toward bringing
it in. In these days of the auto it is an
easy matter to make any town a trade
center, and in almost every town we
know of the merchants realize it. And
they are also commencing to realize that
to grow as trade center they them
selves must hustle. and must get the
reputation of being wideawake.
The most feasible method of creating
tnat reputation is to support the home
town newspaper in the effort it is con-
stantly making to boost the town and
to give the paper such volume of ad-
vertising that the town looks like real
trade center. The outside public will
judge the town by the advertising in its
paper. You never see a paper full of
advertising in a dead town. And when
the merchants do advertise people can't
help feeling that they are awake and
anxious to give their customers full
value for every dollar.
Merchants who participate in boost
ing Mineral Point by advertising in the
columns of this paper get results in two
ways:
They attrrct buyers interested by
their special announcements and their
reasonable prices.
And they give nearby towns and the
outlying district the idea that Mineral
Point is hustling, live wire place,
where the merchants are playing the
game squarely and fairly. and where
a dollar will do twice what it will in a
community where the merchants are
dead and the home town paper has one
foot in the grave.

ALLOWANCE TO CHILD
IS ROAD TO ECONOMY
Home Economics Expert Says
Way Is to Teach Youth Early
Proper Apportioning
OF an Income.

"The best and most natural way Of
beginning true national economy, wise
spending and wise saving" says
Ruth Wardell, head of the home eco
Monies department of the University
of Iowa, and who last summer started
a home economics department in a
Cleveland (Ohio) bank, "is by giving
the children an allowance. The lesson
Of properly apportioning an income
thus is early learned"
Miss Wardell favors the allowance
arrangement at very early age, say
at six or seven. 1t may then be very
small, and out of it the budding citi-
zen may be expected to provide only
school pencils, tablets, etc. The pur-
chase Of school books provides a log
zeal next step; little later some per-
sonal belongings, such as shoes, may
be added.
II say Shoes" explains Miss War
dell, because children seem to take
more interest in shoes than in most
articles Of wearing apparel, and be-

cause shoes represent highly impor-
tant item to which children frequently
pay little heed"
The allowance should provide a
little margin to encourage careful buy
ing and saving possibilities. 1t should
not necessitate so much care or
thought as to burden the growing
youngSter. It should never, under nor
NAL circumstances, be ''helped out"
by irregular gifts or expected to cover
other than the recognized items. The
allowance, With it's purchasing respon-
sibilities, should be increased gradu-
ally, steadily. By the time high school
is reached the boy or girl should be
buying practically all his or her own
clothes.
Miss Wardell tells an interesting
story of boy who called upon her
in Cleveland, telling her of his man
ner of appOrtioning the rather gener-
Gus allowance made by his father. He
knew to a penny what every article
he wore had cost him; he was intelli-
gent regarding relative textile and
wearing values; he saved steadily, sys-
tematically, with joy.
A Chicago mother started her little
daughter out, similarly, at eight years
old and at sixteen the girl was a bet
ter buyer than she was. These chill
