Mach unnecessary encouragement and
delay about getting the home on budget
system has been caused by the expert ac-
countant point of view. The man whose
job is bookkeeping Is just as fussy over
every odd cent as housewife has to be
over baking powder. He completes every
page rs painstay ingly as she hens a
damash dinner napkin or as the nurse
on q contagious case boils every dish 20
minutes
The housewife who tried t. boil every
dish or TO French-hand-hem every dish
towel would soon go mad Fortunately,
neither is necessary. A half-hour spent
IN tussing over the books because she
forgot the 81 cents spent on Christmas
seals is Il half-hour wasted. Let her
stick the lost - cents under AIiscel-
lanecus and forget il If she changes her
butter-buying from the grocer to butcher
that's of no consequence. The general
food column viii add the same either
way. = fiat sum should be taken out
for the personal pocket and its details
forgotten. Who cares whether wife pre-
fers perfume or a show, whether ,hus-
band buys cigars or takes friend to
lunch?
Keeping accounts simply and as &C
curately as possible, holding pretty close
10 the budget, saves much worry and
heartache. The first year is hard. the
second easier. the third makes it rs me
chanical task as ordering groceries. If
Jnce in while one forgets the eggs, that
IS TO argument against the system.
Budget-making is like Christmas shop
ping-thc earlier done the better But
better late than never. II your plan
is not ready, make it now.
The income from $500 to $4,000 is
safely divided on this basis: - per cent.
for food % per cent for shelter, - per
cent for operating expenses, 20 per cent
for clothing and 20 per cent for advance
ment. Savings are supposed to come
out first, with the amount left over re
garded as 100 per cent.

Buying at Home.
(Rutland IIerald.l

One of the almost threadbare slogans
of boards of trade, chambers of commerce
and boosters clubs is trade at home, "
but very few of them have demonstrated
exactly what trading at home really
means.
As an object lesson what such trading
means, the editor of the Houston
: (Texas) Post recently attached sheet
of linen paper to a dollar bill, wrote his
name and address thereon with request
that all those should do likewise through
whose hands the bill passed.
The result was that 24 merchants in
Houston reported the bill as passing
through their cash in two days.
While this stunt was possibly stage
managed q trite, il is nevertheless sig
nifcant, and unit for unit of poulation
and business, the same things happen
every week in Rutland when the buying
public spend their money at home for
such things as they need.
The dollar sent to the mail order house
never comes back. 1t helps some other
community a trife, perhaps, but not so
much as it would help the town from
which il was sent 1t pays no help, buys
no produce, consumes no Juice" sup
ports no families, helps no churches or
schools, contributes nothing to taxes,
trade or education-after it leaves your
home town.
Stating il in terms of the Houston ex-
pertinent. even if the dollar sent TO the
mail order house saved the sender an
other dollar-which it does not-the ra-
ito of benefit would still be IL to one in
favor of spending the dollar at home.
Even if some price saving were af-
fected by sending away" for attractively
advertised goods. the actual benefits are
small negligible. in fact. when compared
with the advantage the home-spent dol
lar brings with il.
Buying at home pays-in the bToadest,
most philosophical community sense.
