PocKETBoOK ECONOMICS

It doesn't take a statistician to figure out
that most budgets balance because the money
on the debit side of the account has been wisely
spent.
This is true-no matter if it's the budget of
a corporation or a family of two.
Economy, for most of us, is simply common
sense applied to our pocketbooks. 1t isn't COM
plicated. 1t hasn't anything to do with scarcity
of funds. It's simply getting our moneys
worth every time.
You'll find that one of the best opportunities
to put real economy into your spending is to
consult the Abe ads in the News Classified
Section every time there's something you need.
Watch this thrift market every day. Watch
your bank book. It's a good start in economy.

THE HOME MERCHANT.
(By Uncle JOhn.)

Mid pleasures and balances though
l may wend,
I find the home merchant a much
valued friend.
The l-order catalogue woos me in
vain,
For to pay without seeing may bring
me pain.
The home merchant credits till pay
day arrives.
He knows all the whims of his friends
and their wives.
His overalls wear like the buckskin
of old,
His buttons amt brass, if he tells you
they's goldl
Of every community he is part,
And even the kids know the path to
his heart.
He boosts for the chapel. the lodge
and the school.
Community uplift" is ever his rule.
And even the football and basket
ball teams
Look kindly on him. in their athletic
dreams.
I'd rather have him at my elbow each
day.
Than to deal with a shark many fur
longs away.
Let's make the thing mutual. and
stand by your friend,
There's no place like home. for the
money we spend.-The Panolian

What Becomes of the

When you pay your automobile
tax at the sheriff's office you pay So
for the tag in addition to the tax.
And all of it is sent to Jackson.
We would like to know what the
State does with the 50. and the peo-
pie would like to know. for they are
paying it. They say. of course. in
Jackson, that the 50 is the cost oi
the metal tags, but We are reliably
informed that these tags cost about
Is cents apiece. If this is true. then
the people are entitled to know what
becomes of the two dollars.-Co

The Things Some People
Forget.

The editor and his family must
eat three meals a day, or nature
will object.
They must wear the usual
amount of clothing. or the public
will object.
They must pay their bills
promptly or their creditors will
object.
To do these things requires
money, but so long as good but
thoughtless citizens forget TO pay
the editor what they owe him il
is difficult to understand how he
can be expected TO meet his own
obligations.
Some people-excellent citi-
zens too-feel just little offend
ed when we send them a SUBJ
scription bill. They seem to
think that we question their in
tention to pay. which is not the
