NEXT YEARS BUDGET

Now is the time to think of next years
family budget. No time? Nonsense!
The woman setting swift stitches can use
her mind on her business meanwhile. The
man who has to stand in the street car
can get little useful meditation. There
is always time for constructive think
ing If there isn't. the whole process of
life is wrong and should be changed. the
sooner the better.
Mistakes have been made this year.
That was inevitable. The same ones need
not be made next year.
| But while working out the plans in a
| tentative way, ready to take form in Jan
uary, it might be well to consider the
| family who dropped in a few months
| from an annual income of So, 900 which
| they gaily spent, to one of $1,000, with
no hope of coming up again for years.
That woman is having Il harder time than
| the average parent of humber income.
| Also consider the man with small chill
dren and big appetites whose income has
dropped from living wage to almost
nothing. He and his wife are having a
hard time too.
| In Russia the children are starving
Suppose your boy does have to wait an
other year for his bicycle, your girl for
her dancing lessons. They've got food
and shelter and comfortable, if not ex-
pensiye clothes. haven't they? Your are
all right and if you make the savings and
insurance come out of the envelope first
of all, you will continue to be safe and
prosperous.
