and Boy Winners of Prizes

Keeping Budget of Expenses, and Alfred
Haneri Explains Why Paying Your Bills Will
Build Up Line of Credit That Will be Valuable.

Fifteen was Aile winning age in
the announcements made yesterday
in the Thrift essay contest, there be-
! ing two successful contestants, a
boy and girl. both OF that magic
number Of years.
Helen Watkins. aged Is, 2sl4 E
street, won the first prize for the
best essay on "The Advantage of a
Budget for Expenses"
Helen is in Sophomore A, South
High school. She is the daughter
Lof J. B. Watkins.
Honorable mention was won BY
Reilly Truke, English six, Higl,
Schools OF Commerce and Alden
Sherbondy, l1th grade, Benson
High. Here is the prize essay.
A Budget tor Expenses.
"Any boy or girl OF high school
age, and any man or woman, should
have some idea of how he or she
is spending money.
81 believe that young people
should be given allowances for
school supplies, carfare and other
incidental expenses and that they
should be expected to keep within
these allowances. In order to do
this budget is very helpful, since it
shows how every bit of money is
spent. If boys and girls are given
allowances large enough to cover
the cost of clothing also they
should be very careful that they are
buying, at reasonable prices, ma
terials that wear we'll. Here, again,
the budget is useful, since one can
set aside a certain amount of
money for clothing. and the expense
account will show whether extrava-
CANT or wise purchases have been
made.
"A man at the head Of family
should also keep budget. A cer-
tain amount should be set aside for
clothing, housekeeping expenses
including food, as well as table and
bed linen. cooking utensils, dishes
and the like-repairs, doctor bills,
and incidental expenses. This helps
him to save, as he can readily see
from his budget what his extrava-
gances are and where lie can save
best.
THE housewife should also keep
a budget so that she will have to
buy wisely to keep within certain
fixed sum. Naturally she will help
her husband to save if she keeps
within this sum.
"The young man beginning to
make his way in the world OH
small salary will need budget
with amounts set aside for board,
room, clothing, health, carfare,
lunches, pleasure and incidental ex-
penses. This will make him care
iul spender, and being careful
spender will help him in the busi-
ness world.
The working girl has the same
need for budget as the young
working man. AS many young girls
are careless with money they need
the budget badly"
Alfred Raneri, a 15-year-old pupil
in 8-E, Pacific school. won the prize

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos costain too much alkali This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tile and is very harmful. Mulsified
rocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure
and entirely greaseless) is much bet
ter than anything else you can use
for shampooing, as this can't possi-
bly, injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an>ahundance
Of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle f dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oio shampoo at most any drug store.
It is very cheap, and few ounces
is enough to last every one in the
family for months.

Raneri is the son Of Tony Raneri
and lives at Fifteenth and Pierce
streets.
Margaret Martin, Webster school,
and Pauline Moron, South High,
were given honorable mention on
their essays on this subject. Here
is the winr lg essay:
Make good your credit!
mo matter what ones occupa-
ton in life may be, whether he is
in business, has a profession, or is
doing just ordinary labor, he should
always pay his bills.
IF he has purchased goods from
a retailer, he should always pay his
bills promptly, thus enabling the
former to pay his debts in the same
way.
THAT good cerdit is one of the
best policies in life there are many
proofs. The business world is
based on good credit.
During the world war the allied
nations were able to carry on the
great conflict through the immense
loans of money which other coun-
tries supplied them with. Had these
countries thought that the allies
credit was worthless, would they
have loaned them those vast SUMS
OF money!
I'VE had great faith in our gov
ernment. We loaned immense sums
to the United States because we
knew that this country's credit was
excellent. .-
"Many rich men who began their
career as laborers, were helped by
others in attaining their fortunes,
because they were known to be
punctual i'll paying their debts. For
this reason they were able to bor-
row money. This often enabled
them to get start in life.
1T may not be possible for every
one to become ricH, but by being
punctual in paying, we may at least
become rich in credit"

injured were taken away in a taxi
cab, Mr.. Borsky said.
Police Get Report.
Police Captain Vanous, on duty at
Central station, received an inco-
herent call for assistance while the
fight was progressing, jotted down
the address, l408 Farnam street, and
called the police operator. Patrol
man lack Sheldon made his regular
report to the police operator and
was instructed to investigate the
call.
He found the place in great dis
order, but deserted, and made his
report accordingly. The matter was
dropped.
Since the battle occurred no fur
ther attempt to open cafe has been
made. Sam Joe, called on Mr.. Gil
Ian at the Chamber of Commerce
and displayed what he claimed was
black-hand letter. The letter was
written to warn him against open
ing a cafe at l408 Farnam street, he
said, and was simply another act on,
the part of powerful Chinese tong
to carry on a feud which had
started hundreds of years ago in
China.
Mr.. Gillian advisd Joe to report the
matter to federal authorities.
Joe operates the Empire cafe on
Harney street and the Unique cafe
at Fourteenth and Douglas. He
claims that powerful tong is domi-
mating the Chinese interests in
Omaha and that it is impossible for
member Chinaman to carry on
business here.
He substantiates his claim by
pointing out to other battles waged
against him by the tong in past
years, several of which were only
stopped when large forces of police
interfered.
The location of the proposed chop
suey parlor is directly opposite the
long-established King Joy cafe.
