The Budget.

Many housewife runs behind each
month in her household expenses and
yet she makes no effort to solve the
problem because the time and energy
it would take to keep household ac-
counts is too much.< They do not need
to be a burden and bother to the
housewife. However, to be success
full, they must be kept up systemati-
cally. Do not allow them to go be-
hind a single day.
BY keeping accounts some very in
teresting things are brought to light.
Some may find that too much is, spent
in clothes, others too much in food,
and still others may find they spent
too much in nOn-essentials. Thus on ,
may correct the first, mistakes and
find valuable lessons in buying at The
same time.
BY keeping these records one may
form regular plan by which to spend
his income, or in other words a
budget is formed. This plan should
provide for four things; food, cloth
ing, shelter and advancement. The
budget may be roughly divided as fol-
lows: 80 per cent for food; 20 per
cent for clothing: 80 per cent for
shelter; (22 per cent for housing and
13 per cent for telephone, furnishings,
etc. u per cent for advancement;
savings, benvolences, education, rec
reation. doctor and dentist bills.
No set rule can be given for all
budgets for as true as one family is
not like another, just as true is one
budget not like another for a budget
is like the family whose record 1t Is.
Many say they would keep a budget
if someone would start them out or
give them little help. Some already
know that the home demonstration
agent will give this help to anyone
who wishes it, either ut her office or
at their home. If you wish to start
a budget and need some help why
not try and see. if you too can't be
helped?

A New Farm Profession.

Labor is the great problem on the"
farm at the present time. War con-
ditions and abnormal wages I'M the
various lines of industry have demor-
allied farm help to such an extent.
that it is exceedingly difficult to get
assistance requisite to carry on oper-
atoms.
In this state of chaos, the federal
board for vocational education has hit
upon what seems to be solution, and
has created brand new profession
that of farm mechanic" and it is
figured that any farm of more than
100 cultivated acres can very well at
ford to have man Of this sort.
The men being qualified for this
work are disabled soldiers who before
injury were farm boys. With this back
ground of agricultural knowledge these
men are being taught to operate mod
ern tractors which do the work OF
many teams and men. They are being
taught operation, care and upkeep OF
motor trucks and other gas engines.
They are being given a general course .
in looking after all machinery used
on modern farms, and indications are,
that the supply of these specially train
ed men will not begin to equal the de-
mand. Farm hands who before the
war, could not hope to make more than
$50 or $50 a month as laborers can by
becoming proficient as farm MECHANICS,
qualify for positions paying from 500
to $125 per month with steady employ
ment the year around;
1t is an exceedingly interesting de
yelopment of our national rural life
brought about by forces of necessity,
and is but another illustration OF the
well known fact that the emergency is
usually met in one form or another.

work is proposed. Numerous county

Putting Circle on Ballot.
The Kimball election bill came up
in the senate on Friday as Il special
order of business and proved more
than that body could handle in fore
noon, going over to afternoon in order
to permit special committee to fix it
up a little, and then passing by a larss
majority.
This bill provides for replacing the
circle on the election ballot at gener-
al elections, so that a voter may make
q cross mark in the circle at the head
of his party ticket and thus. vote for
all the candidates on that ticket with
out further marking. 1t provides in
addition that the voter may make n
cross mark in the squares on his own
party ticket or on any other ticket ana
his vote will count for the candidates
for whom he so marks. The bill las
numerous other provisions and rcGula-
lions in it. prescribing among OTHER
things that the names of presidential
electors may be left off the ballot and
the names of presidential candidates
printed thereon, thus allowing the vot-
er to mark for his presidential choice
direct and instrueting the party elect
ors to cast the vote of the state as a
majority so express themselves. An
amendment to strike the circle pro-
vision out Of the bill was voted down.

listing primary law got by the senate
by a vote of "a to IL, after three hours
considerat ton and an interesting debate
on the provisions Of the bill and the
various amendments offered before and
during it's passage. That the bill is not
all that was hoped for must be con-
coded, and to our mind some of the
amendments tackled onto it are vicious
and undesirable. House members say
they will fix it up" when they get at
it over there.
The new primary bill repeats all of
the, old general primary law and en-
acts most of it as a new proposition
governing the selection of township
ands>county delegates and the nominal
ton Of county and state officers. First,
it takes from the primary ballot all
candidates for state offices below that
of lieutenant governor, leaving also on
the ballot all candidates for congress.
state sena tors and representatives. The
state auditor, secretary of state, state
treasurer, superintendent of public in
struction and the railroad commissions
ers will, if the bill goes through the
lower house and becomes a law, be
nominated hereafter at state conven-
lions in the old way. The delegates
to the county and state conventions
will be named at the county conven-
tions following the primary within two
weeks.
The state highway commissioners
were in Des MOines last Thursday with
their engineer, Thos. Macdonald, to
file their report for the past year. with
the governor, as required by law. The
writer saw the report and can say that
every item and detail of the commits
sion's work for the year is set out in
plain figures and will be published, SO
that there need be no false stories
started and carried that the commits
sion is not making a full accounting.
incidentally. the commissioners were
feeling rather upset because Engineer
Macdonald is likely to leave the state,
being offered position by the secre-
tary of agriculture at Washington as
chief Of the highway department Of the
United States at a salary to be named
by himself.
