TO himself with a queer pinkle of his

Listening, to make sure Nurse Jane

BANKS ENTER FIGHT
AGAINST BOND SHARK
Plan 10 Devised Whereby Person Wha

Square Deal.

Bankers in all parts OF this dis
trict have been asked 10 take part in
the war which has been declared
against the bond shark. The cam.
paign is to protect rne small holder
of Liberty and Victory Bonds. Many
of these people arc being preyed upon
by prcfteers in government securi-
ties and by statesmen Of so-called wild
cat stocks. Government bonds1
which are the best security in the
world, have been traded for worthless
stock certificates which never have
and never will pay one cent in divi-
dends.
While every holder Of Liberty and
Victory bonds is urged not to sell,
the fact is recognized that some per-
sons bought beyond their buying power
and they now find that for one reason
or auother-good reasons no doubt
they must sell. Bond sharks have
taken shameful advantage of some of
these people, according to reports re-
ceived, and the banks are now lining
up to put an end to their activities.
If man finds that he must sell his
bond he should take it to the neafest
bank where he viii be given its full

HOW LARGE sums CAN
BE SAVED ON SERVICE
Most People Fail to Consider What
Help in Home Really Costs in the
Long Run.

In any plan for national economy
British specialists think that the
household rather than the family
should be taken as unit. Under
household consumption they include
Q) services rendered maintaining the
house and its inmates, (2) the goods
consumed or acquired by the inmates,
(3) the general charges OF cleaning,
decorating, offsettiag deterioration,
etc.
AS start in saving program the
British Commission has pointed out
that services should be valued even
more highly than goods, as each per-
son doing unnecessary and unproduc-
tive work not only consumes without
producing, but is also depriving the
country of possible productive power.
Translated into terms Of Amehcan
saving, this service idea would mean,
do not hire any one to do what you
can do for yourself in spare time un-
less you find it directly profitable"
Americans are really honest
with themselves as to the cost OF SER
vices. Not one family in a hundred
really knows. what "a servant actually
ssostst Most OF them place the cost
bf her wages and fail to count in her
food, Light and other things she con-
sumes. Most OF them, moreover, have
no way of figuring correctly the extra
waste of food or extra breakage or
wear and tear due to the fact that
the servant does not have the interest
of ownership for making things go as
far as possible. Few families know
at the end of the year the important
total that the "odd jobs" man or hedge
cutter or grass trimmer has cost them
for service that might as we'll have
been rendered as recreation or need
ed outdoor exercise by the man or
boys OF the family.
This of course, does not mean that
no service should be purchased.
Where q housewives time is worth
more in money or otner CONTRIBUTION
to family well-being than the cost OF a
servant she makes profit by employ
ing some one who frees her to do bet
ter paid work than household tasks.
In many cases physical or personal
reasons make II essential to the well
fare Of the family to have help, but in
many cases the time saved to the
members of the household by ser
wants is not utilized profitably in a
monetary way OF even in way to
make for real happiness or advance
ment
Savings on service will give many
people important sums to lend to their
government and save for themselves
through War Savings Stamps. In the
case of children work is not only a
practical means of earning and saw
ing, but in itself is valuable discip-
pine for life. ~. sH!'!

BUDGEIING CHILDREN

Budgeting children will teach them
the value OF money and often make
them more careful Of their clothes and
shoes. 1t will also bring out GER
tain traits of character that nothing
else will disclose and enable parents
to correct faults before they become
fixed habits. Any child old enough to
be entrusted with money is old enough
to be given specified amount to
spend each week, and to be told the
value of saving part Of it.
or course very Joung children may
not be allowed to choose their own
clothes, but training along this line
may begin very early and sense Of
values and suitability may be in
stilled. :"
Three grown girls in certain fam
lily were given the same allowance for
clothes, books, amusements,. enter
tainment of friends, etc. At the end
OF the first month May had spent all
Of her allowance and stated that she
had nothing to show for 1t. Jane had
saved one-half of hers and deposited
1t in the bank. She had denied her
self some badly needed clothing and
bought a few showy articles with the
amount spent She he'd accepted en-
tertainment from friends but was too
stingy with her own money to enter
tain in return. Sarah produced an
account book and showed that she had
bought all the necessary articles OF
clothing. enjoyed several we'll chosen
entertainments. and had purchased
two War Savings Stamps, paying four
per cent compound interest.
These are typical, and the informa-
tton gathered from the first month
enabled the father and mother to
show May the folly Of wasteful and
careless expenditure, Jane the impor.
tance OF providing necessities first
and the virtue of generosity, and to
commend Sarah for her unusual busi'
ness ability and sense Of thrift.
