promise is given of it's being
sweet and full Of pep. A game
is on with the Ho ii. S. team at

local bunch kept up a fast pace,
and the first half closed with the
score II to 9 in Nezperce favor.

KEEP a HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
Practically Impossible to Run Hcne
Without Employment Of Good
s Business Methods.

II must be admitted that business
system is desirable in the home, for
the very good and simple reason that.
manifestly you cannot carry on sue
cessfully any kind OF business without
more or less bookkeeping, writes Carl
Marshall IN Thrift. But often you will
hear some easy-going housekeeper say:
~rhnt's too much trouble; have
enough other things to do without
bothering with accounts. Besides,
whnt's the use? 1t costs you just so
much to live anyway, and keeping ac-
counts won't make the amount any
less"
Lazy or inefficient folk are seldom at
loss for justification Of this sort.
Some Of us can remember the old
fashioned country storekeepet who
used to spend most Of his time sitting
on box whiting or gosslping with
the loafers when he should have been
studying his business. This cheerful
soul held the same views as the slack
housekeeper.
But we do not see much more Of
this old-fashloned. happy-go-Iuclsy
country merchant. He has long ugo
been put out Of businessby his enter
prlsing competitor who learned the
value Of good bookkeeping.s
The answer to those who would
shirk home accountkeeplng is simply
this; You cannot plan your affairs with
amy certainty unless you know about
them, and you cannot know about them
; unless you keep records of them.
