HOW A SCHOOL BANK WORKS
Savings System in Eastern Institution
Results in $4,000 Deposits, Aver
aging Weekly More Than $40.

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 a 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 $1,480,
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 a 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. Phe 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 a per-
sonal account is opened at the Society
for Savings for each pupil who has
50 in the school bank. After this, at
these periods, all amounts of 81 or
more, standing to his credit on pu-
Pills school deposit book, are added to
his personal account. If any pupil
wishes to withdraw his money a writ
ten statement from the parent or the
parents personal application is re-
quired.

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

Farming nowadays justly is recog-
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.
O1d-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 farmer employs a farm
budget just as he employs grain, soil
and weather statistics in the arrange
ment of his farm operations, takes
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-
tire, which includes books, magazines
and newspapers; recreation; and mis-
cellaneous. Again, daily totals are
shown at the right of the page, month
ly totals, itemized and general, at the
foot. Companion pages, similarly ar
ranged, show yearly summaries, al
most instantaneously 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 a
few odd pennies to $1,000, built up by
means of Thrift Stamps, should this
prove more convenient, they are non
depreciable, mountaineering, 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.

The first three games of the season
we're played against the Clearwater
team. No accurate box score was
kept during these three games, there
fore they have been ommitted in de-
termining the batting averages of
the players. Likewise the forfeited
game was not taken into account in
arriving at the figures. The above re-
suits are based OH the twelve games,
including the two defeats.
From all standpoints the season
has been very successful for the local
team. Few teams in previous seas
ons have made such an enyiable rec
ord in games won. Most Of the games
were played OH the home grounds,
which put the team under heavy eX-
pense, but the final balance sheet of
the teams budget shows q few dollars
left over after the close Of the season.
This is good news for all fans. Very
often there exists a deficit in the
financing of the home team, due to
the heavy expense incurred in secur-
ing outside teams to play here, but
this season the support has been well
given, with the foregoing gratifying
results Some money was spent on
the diamond and several new uni
forms were purchased, otherwise the
baseball treasury would have been
richer by about hundred dollars at
the close Of the season.
The value OF live baseball team to
q community was we'll demonstrated
this season. Eagle River always did
have a team that ranked above the
average small town baseball organi-
zation and this year they bettered
their previous record. 1t speaks well
for an early start on winning team
next year. Look over the figures in
the fore part of this article. They
tell what the boys have been doing,
and they show, too, that the whole
team has been on the job all summer,
practicing whenever business would
games. Ii isn't the easiest thing to
work all day and then put in the after
supper leisure hours on baseball
diamond practising for Sunday
game that will take the time which
could be protitably spent on a fishing
trip, auto tour or some other pleasure
launt. For that reason the home
town team is worthy of all the sup
port it can muster. The fans have
been loyal this year. Keep it up.
Talk baseball during the coming win
ter months and when the time comes
next spring, give the team a flying
start to make even better record
Ihan~was hung up this year.

Speaking of ''hoss" races, we we're
quite shocked on the last day Of the
fair to hear number of strangers,
apparently Villas county farmers, re-
joicing over the progress of this
years fair and hopefully speaking of
a day when the fair association
might be able to buy the Higgins
tract adjoining, when they could
have race track and races on it.
May the good Lord help Us, if that
day ever comes.

Villas Countys Clover and Potatoes Lead at State Fair
How TO Get Rich Quick

"Here is the way John and have
solved the II. G. Of e. writes Mrs.
J. w. Kingsley, from North Fond du
Lac, Wis. She tells about her system
for beating the game as follows
We had our phone taken out, as our
neighbors have phone and as it does
not cost them any more we use it,.
Saving: $3.50 per month.
We sold our refrigerator and use
spare room in our neighbours boxes
Saving: S.. per month.
We stopped our newspapers and
borrow morning paper from one
neighbor about 9 a. m. (They are
usually through with it about that
time), and evening paper from other
neighbor about 8 p. M; that makes
us little late with the news, but we
do not mind that Saving: 1925 per
month.
We do not rent set in church be-
cause we know family that does
who usually go to late services, SO
John and / make it a point Q go to
early services using their seat. OF
course they sometimes come to early
services loo and make it quite crowd
ed for us, but we are getting them
into the habit of taking some other
vacant seat. when they come TO early
services. Saving: Sl.10 per month.
When our neighbors use their ovens
(they both have large ones) we always
put in small jar of beans or macaro-
nj, or a few potatoes and bake them
at the same time, cutting the gas bill.
We estimate we save 81 per month.
The round trip car fare between
this village and Fond du Lac is 20
cents, SO when we must make pur-
chase in the city, we have our neigh
Dor bring it along, saving SLIGO per
month.
We do considerable calling on
friends Thursdays and Sundays, stay
ing to dinner We find it good for
our health and we save Sc per month.
Every spring we buy two dozen
chicks and let them run, our neigh
boris gardens keeping them up in fine
shape. We start killing them off
after the first frost. Saving: So so
per month.
We have a dog and the dog tax is
So per year. Every year when the tax
collector is due we take him to a
country friend, and bring him back
after he has made the rounds. Saw
ing: SIT per month.
A village ordinance provides that
tin cans be hauled to the dump" as
soon as the snow is gone. 1t costs 25
cents year to have them hauled
away, and as our neighbor has to
have his cans hauled away, we throw
our cans on his pile. Saving: SOP
per month.
Prices on clothing have worried us
little, but we cannot complain, as
must say that we are lucky i'll that
John wears number 81 hat. Saving:
$40 per month.
The writer and John thus save the
tidy sum of S2l.24 month -enough
to go to movie every day and still
have enough money left for such ne
cessities as ice cream cones.-EX.
