CHAMPION SPENDER
''CoaIoiI Johnny's" Attempt to
Live Up to His Income.

BY EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELOCK.
Copyright 1921 American Press League.)
Do you remember reading the story
OF ''Coaloil Johnny? 1t was nearly II
not quite half century ago that this
financial meteor flashed across the
eastern sky and left a trail of very
substantial banknotes behind him.
OH had been discovered on the bar
rem Pennsylvania farm on which he
had been raised and he suddenly be-
came possessed of something over half
"a million dollars, which he immediate
~ be gan to unload.
He Hung Up New Record.
After q prolonged debauch, during
which he was guilty Of every conceiv-
able form of asininity, he came to his
sober senses a pauper. He had made
a new mark as a spender which still
stands as the record.
"Coaloil Johnny" Is the accepted
type of the extravagant waster class of
fools who stand at one extreme Of the
social scale; at the other extreme
stands the miser who loves money for
itself and boards 1t. Neither waster
or miser is Of any particular service
to himself or humanity.
The individuals who really do count,
Who serve as constructive forces, who
take an active part in the building of
communities by aiding in the expan-
sion Of industries and in the solution
of Industrial and commercial prob
lens, are those who neither waste nor
hoard; the people who save what they
can and make their savings work.
Living Up to Ones Income.
The great majority Of the American
people can if they will belong to this
class. 1t is merely a matter of the
standard of living about which there
has been so much talk. AS a matter of
fact, the standard Of living in many
cases depends solely upon-not the ac-
tual needs of the family-but the size
of the family income.
A man earning $1,000 to $500 in
normal times manages to support his
family on his income. When, or if,
his income or salary, as the case may
be, increases to $500, then 5000 and,
finally, $4,000, his standard of living
cost of living-increases in proper
ton and the entire income is expended.
Should Consider the Future.
The size of the income must be taken
into account, of course, in fixing the
standard Of living-the annual budget
but 1t is just as important to pro-
vide for the future by setting aside a
part of the income as it is to provide
for the present by purchasing the nee
essaries of life.
The trouble with "Coaloil Johnny"
was that his income was not what
might be called regular-he did not
have an oil-bearing farm to sell every
three months. AS consequence, when
tha money received for the first farm
wss gone he was on his uppers.
