What Money Is For


 The New Year is with us asaln-the psychological stock taking time in each twelve months. Before us stretches new period for us to do with what We will. IL rests with each individual to paint a mental picture of conditions and development as he would like to see them, and then to so order his life that every act is d move toward that goal.
 The speed with which one arrives at the desired station is dependent upon self. How you feed and exercise your body, what you think about, how you apply yourself to each piece of work, and how you spend your spare time, tells how soon you may exact to be what and where you desire to be in world.
 The miracles of next year depend upon you. One of the most tangible miracle makers is a carefully planned and orderly, adhered to system of spending ones income Playing the Budget Game to Win Every successful business man and everyone who has earned what proper ty they have knows the fascination of making his income produce the great est real life value.
 The wise home maker will not let such an interesting opportunity escape her.
 After keeping a daily expense ac- count for four months, one is ready to make out . definite budget Then comes the fun of living according to the plan and daily coming closer to the goal you've set. An arbitrary and ideal budget arranged for a family of five on two hundred dollars month would be divided follows:
 Food. B per cent. Shelter and operating expense, 30 per cent.
 Clothing, 15 per cent
 Food, 35 per cent, or $70 a month. This may easily be done by using cheaper cuts of meat beans twice l week, or by using oleomar rga rine part ! of the time A knowledge of the real l food needs and wise buying to satisfy l these needs, rather than from impulse will be a great help. 1 Shelter and operating expenses are 1 ideally allowed 30 per cent. This may 1 require 35 per cent. or s10 in the city under present conditions. The extra 1 five per cent will sha veto be taken from the luxury allowance.
 Clothing in the ideal budget for this size family on two hundred dollars is 15 per cent This will have to be in creased to meet present demands The increase should be made after carefully considering the needs of every mem Der of the family. School children should be dressed simply All good materials should be used up. Care will add greatly to the life of all garments Remerber, all increases allowed vari ous sections come out of the luxuries; then advancement and then savings ! Twenty per cent, or $40 month, is the

 The average person is generally of the opinion that bread is made out of flour. which in turn, of course. is made from wheat. So it is-some- times. A couple of weeks ago local bakery took occasion to prove the con- trary.

SUGAR SHORTAGE CAUSED BY
HUGE EXPORTS

The Chicago Herald and Examiner, in all
article relative to the sugar shortage, has
this to say:
"Here is the reason why your breakfast
table is nearly bare of sugar this morning.
Here also is the reason why the slender
driblets of sugar YOU are able to obtain cost
you as much as Is cents pound.
Exports of sugar from the United
States increased more than ten-fold this
year over those of the year before the
European war.
Exports of sugar from the United States
to the United Kingdom have increased in
this period more than 200 fold
Exports to Canada increased approx
mately $50 fold.
Sugar producers got whatever price
they demanded on most Of the enormous
amounts shipped abroad. Thus it was often
to the interests of the producers and the
powerful trust middlemen to send sugar
abroad and make fabulous sums This they
did
''At any time, the administration and
Congress could have stopped this greedy
discrimination by legalizing and enforcing
an embargo on exports. The vast foreign
shipments were made with the apparent ap-
proval of the government Europe got
sugar that ought to have gone to America
and the swollen fortunes of the profteers
grew larger.

CONGRESS CONSIDERING FURTHER
EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT TO
SUFFERING EUROPE

Further extensions of credit by the
United States to suffering Europe, aggre-
eating 81 ,800,000,OOO will be considered by
Congress as soon as it assemblies next

dent of the Chicago Tribune
1t is proposed to finance relief to starry
ing central Europe at an expense of $780,
100000 and to fund into time loans the
81 SOC, 100000 interest due in the next three
years on American loans to the allies.
That the great need of Europe is a pro-
per distribution system which would permit
supplies of all kinds, from coal to food, to
be sent where they are most urgently need
ed, is the opinion expressed by General
Taskar H. Bliss military member of the
American peace commission.
General Bliss declares that if some man
like Herbert Hoover, together with a rail
way manager, was placed in control of all
the distribution facilities of Europe for a
year or two, the nations submerging their
antipathies, the problem of supply would be
largely solved

JAPAN SEEKING SUPREMACY OF
THE PACIFIC

A we'll informed French observer says
that Japan is making determined effort to
obtain the naval supremacy in the Pacific
When Baron Maxine, one of the Japanese
delegates to the peace conference, returned
to his home country from Paris, he made a
speech with this sarcastic comment:
1--WE all know that henceforth justice will
rule on earth; but each people will get just
as much justice as their strength COM
mands. Let us therefore look to Our own

Japan is preparing to celebrate in few
weeks the launching of the worlds great
est warship, Nagato, of 10000 tons, which
compares with the American leviathan,
California, of $4,000 tons and the English
Hood, of $4,000 tons. The Nagato has the
very best armament and equipment = air
planes, antiaircraft guns, 1o-inch cannon

MINE OWNERS SAY THEY WERE
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD BY THE
PALMER STRIKE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT

Mine. owners, meeting in conference at
the Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, this week,
simultaneously with the meeting of Presl-
| dent Wilson's coal commission at the White
House, have expressed opposition to any
raise in miners wages above the IA per cent
set by Dr. Garfield.
The operators claim they were left out
in the cold by Attorney General Palmer and
President Wilson when the strike settlement
terms were agreed upon with the miners.
They have not committed themselves as to
accepting or endorsing any decision the
Presidents commission may reach
They are said to take the position that If
the coal commission should give a final
raise to the miners of between Is and 80
per cent it would mean substantial boost
in prices to the user. A 80 per cent raise
in wages would mean about 50 cents more a
ton in production costs, and, by the time
this is passed on through jobber and retailer,
the big users of steam COAL including the
railroads, would be paying SIS to 90 cents a
ton more and domestic consumers would be
paying 80 cents to 81 a ton more.
They argue that if the price Of soft coal
goes much higher, consumers will pur-
chase hard coal instead of soft coal be-
cause of its superior thermal units; also
that many plants will put in oil burners I'M
der their furnaces, as already has been done
in cities along the Atlantic seaboard. They
are therefore sorely afraid of the competi-
ton this would create

HIGHER WAGES ADD GREATLY TO
COST OF CLOTHING

Mr. William NJ Wood, President of the
American Wooden Company, makes the
statement that the insistence of the public
upon cloth made from fine woods is large
factor in the present high prices of clothing.
IF our people would consent he says,
ito wear good, substantial, durable cloth,
made of the coarser woods, clothing could
be purchased at considerably lower prices
than those which now prevail
1T is generally thought" he goes on to
say, "that the cost of cloth is the controlling
factor in the cost Of clothing, but the fact
is that the cloth cost is less than half of the
cost of the completed suit"
The following figures show this:
The cost in 1919 of the cloth for suit
of clothes of a particular grade is $13.67.
The corresponding cost in 1914 was $4.58,
showing an increase in the cost of cloth of
5000. The 1919 cost of making this suit
is $14.47. The corresponding cost in 1914
was $4.o8, showing on increase in the cost
of making of $o.4o.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF RAIL
WAYS TO CEASE MARCH FIRST

President Wilson issued a proclamation,
on December "a, providing for the return
of railroads to their owners on March
next. The express companies also VIII
return to private control.
The President had intended to restore
the roads to their owners on January l.,
1920 but postponed the date in order to
afford time for passage of the pending leg
islation recognizing the entire transporta-
ton system on a new basis. 1t is confident
1y expected that measure providing for
this will be enacted before March l.
Washington reports claim that the Cum
minis anti-strike provision is to be ellmln-
ated from the pending railroad bill, as there
is no possibility of the plan being approved
by the House of Representatives. The
Senate, it is claimed, will seek compromise
preserving some semblance Of a plan to
avert strikes and provide for the peaceful
settlement of wage and other disputes.
Organized railway machinists, through
their president, have served notice on Con-
gress that they will not submit to enact
n1ent of the Cummins railroad bill with its
drastic anti-strike provision. In vote
taken recently, ninety-eight percent OF the
membership favored an immediate walkout
in event of the bills passage.
Organized labor is directing an unrelent-
ing fight against the return of the railroads
to their owners on March |, asserting
themselves in favor Of a two year extern
sion of government control in order that It
may have fair test.
