The public has reached the point
where it is beginning to demand that
congress take adequate measures to
relieve the situation-and, failing
this, it would be quite appropriate for
it to resign and go home.
The lid has a disagreeable habit of
blowing off when the pressure becomes
too great.

Do you believe in the budget sys-
tenn? It's fine idea, if you must get
along on a limited amount, and most
of us have to at the present time
Most people don't like this system as
a whole because it curtails their feel
ing of independence. They think it's
fine for household expenses, but it
becomes very irksome when applied
to amusements and lunches. Still, it
doesn't require half the scheming to
make an amount cover amusements,
in which you either do or do not in
dulge, that it does to stretch the linn
tied sum over raising prices and de-

WHY NOT SAVE?

1t is a queer fact but true that hu-
mans sometimes, quite often in fact,
have to be coaxed to do the things
that are for their own good. The banks
send out letters, they advertise and
they talk about value of systematic
saving, yet people should recognize
this fact without having it forced on
their attention. We are not trying to
boost the savings departments for the
banks, but just at present there seems
to be mad mania for spending money
and unless few of US foster at least
.lukewarm desire to save little money
there is bound to be hard times ahead
Just remember this: Your salary
goes into the bank whether you put
it there or not. If you don't put it
there yourself, the other fellow does.
It doesn't make so much difference
to your banker, but it makes lot of
difference in your bank book Better
think this over and put the money in
the bank yourself after this instead
of giving it to some one else for their
bank balance.
