MONDAY CLUB HAS
THRIFT PROGRAM

The regular meeting Of the Monday
Club on April 26th was Thrift meet
ing, in charge of Mrs. Roy johnson,
Thrift Chairman for the club. Two
of the merchants in town, Mr.. McKin-
Iney and Mr.. Rickus, at great deal
of trouble to themselves, loaned ex-
hibits of food sufficient to feed a
family of five people for five days at
cost of SIS. In addition to these ex-
hibits, Miss Peugh, the County Home
Demonstration Agent, submitted a
list showing the proportionate divi-
sion of the dollar among the rleces-
sary food elements. The dollar should
be divided into fifths, she stated, zoe
or more for vegetables and fruit, zoe
or more for bread and cereals, zoe or
more for sugar, fats, tea, coffee, CO.
Goa, flavoring, etc. This makes an
ideal division of the food dollar and
provides a well-balanced ration for the
family.
There were talks by Club members
on bread and cereals, vegetables, milk,
cheese and eggs, meats, the prepara-
ton of the cheaper cuts, and desserts.
The latter were declared unnecessary
and impossible, especially in Thrift
Program. An animated discussion fol-
lowed each of the talks, real ex-
change of helpful ideas for real home
understand everyone felt that the
Thrift Program had been a decided
success.

Of this kind is that people rush mad
ly after fads instead Of quietly ac-
cepting the natural means of reduc-
ing the high prices. Witness the ov-
erall and gingham fad--instead Of
each individual deciding in his own
mind to continue wearing his old
clothes until prices are reduced, peo-
pie everywhere are rushing to take up
the insidious propaganda" to boost
the price Of denim and similar fab
Irics, with the result that the working
man for whom overalls are a neces-
sity, is unable to pay the exorbitant
prices asked and the faddists in few
weeks will tire of their garments and
throw them aside. By these means
the aim of the campaign is defeated
and prices keep mounting in spite of
all efforts to the contrary. 1t b to be
hoped st. Francois county will keep a
level head in this matter.
