A BUDGET CAMPAIGN.

Every home on a budget, is the OBJ
iect of the club women of Dayton, o.
When they have made Dayton as nearly
as possible 100 per cent budgeted, they
plan to carry the campaign out into the
state and nation. The idea of budgeting
is not new, but this systemetized effort
to make it general is new.
1t is pointed out in connection with
the movement that So per cent of the
money in circula ton passes through
women's hands. 1t is said by one au-
thority that the average value received
for their expenditure is SO 1-3 per cent
for every dollar. 1t is not very credit
able financial showing. To remedy mat
tiers the Dayton plan includes a three
months thrift campaign which covers a
systematic study of buying, budgeting
and saving.
Not every family income can be bud
geted like every other. but there is this
old familiar outline from which to start /:
Out of every dollar spend % per cent for
food, 20 per cent for clothing, 20 per cent
for shelter, 10 per cent for upkeep, 10

THE GERMAN FOLLY.

The financial collapse of Germany
serves a useful purpose at least, in its
warning to other nations That lesson
may compensate eventually for the losses
caused to Germany's creditors and bust
ness associates by her foolish policy.
The plight in which Germany finds
herself today, with credit gone and bus
mess at a standstill, was not inevitable
At the time of the armistice she was in
better shape than France and Belgium
to make new start. Her man-power
was less depleted, her territory was IN
ravaged, her industrial equipment and
business structure were unimpaired. She
lacked only ready money and her former
market.
She started in to gain both by a fren-
zied process of money imitation. German
statesmen seemed possessed by the old
delusion that a government can make
money out of nothing. They printed
enormous quantities of unsecured paper
marks. 1t was fiat money!" of the sort
governments have often issued in times
of stress and have always rued later on.
II VI q llLiiF, "IGIGS HAAID NHlBbS rum
Berlin. this imitation of paper money
created the illusion of prosperity and en-
abled German manufacturers to compete
at cutthroat prices in world markets.
Cheap money prevented unemployment
and gave a feverish stimulus to indus
try
But like every other fever, it exhausted
the patient. German industry was
really not profiting; it was living on it
self There developed a vicious circle of
wages and prices and new issues of pa
per, suggesting the futile action of a dog
chasing its own tail. Finally, with Ger
man currency diluted to a point where
money is virtually worthless, the nation
shows signs of coming to its senses.
Unfortunately it cannot get out of the
mess without reputation, and that
means ruin for thousands, perhaps mil
lions, of people, before a new start car
! be made on sane lines, with sound money
representing actual wealth rather than
| the capacity of printing presses.
| After that, it should be a century, al
| least, before any crazy scheme for manu-
featuring money finds popular support
/ in this country.

The MeddIe9"
"If the coat 6ts you. put it on"

The Meddler has had occasion to OBJ
serve state. county and local political
campaigns for something like a quarter
of century, but he cannot remember
one so devoid of public interest as that
now drawing to a close. From the gov
ernorship fight--if SO mild a bout as
that in which Proctor and Foote are
participants can be dignified by that
term-down to the various contests for
town representative, the situation is the
same; the average voter seems to be
showing about the same degree of inter-
est as a confirmed crap-Shooter would
find in game of chess. This Is not
particularly encouraging sign in year
when state issues of far more than or
binary Importance are clamoring for at
tention but it appears to be general
throughout the state.
Two candidates for senator in a pre-
vious campaign were heard discussing
this state of affairs a day or two ago.
and one of them made the remark that
when we were up for Office folks either
hated us or thought enough of US so
they had something to say one way or
the other" In this years five-cornered
senatorial lineup there appear to be no
emphatic likes or dislikes if one may
Judge by public comment. Mr.. CroSby's
candidacy, to be sure, has been received
with general favor in the town and
county with which he has been so ac-
lively identified for SO many years, but
very little talk is heard about it. Mr..
Melendys candidacy likewise gets fa-
vorable comment hereabouts when 1t
gets any but that isn't often. In fact,
all that is heard about any of the candi-
dates is commendatory rather than criti-
cal. and the absence of criticism may be
the very thing that accounts for the
lack of interest.
Even the local representative cam
paign has lacked thus far any of the ex-
citing elements that generally go with

In the Days News.

Colonel Robert Clowry, who enters
upon his S5th year today, proudly boasts
sages as clearly as he could when he
used to send kilograms for Abraham Lin
coin at Springfield H., before the Civil
war. For many years Colonel Clowry
was connected with the Western Union
Telegraph Co., serving in every capacity
from operator TO president and director
and few men have played more con-
spicuous part in the development of the
telegraph business than he. A native
of Illinois, he learned telegraphy while
still in his teens and was working at the
key when the war between the states
broke out. He promptly enlisted, was
assigned to the signal corps, and near
the close of the conflict was brevetted a
ma jor and lieutenant colonel of yOlun-
teers for meritorious service and de-
voted application to duty Colonel
CIowry was one of the organizers of the
Old-Time Photographers association.

Piles
Can't Be Cured from the Outside.

External treatments seldom cure Piles.
Nor do surgical operations.
The cause IS inside-bad circulation.

The bowel walls are weak, the parts

To quickly and safely rid yourself of
piles you must free the circulatiOn-send

method.

his prescription HEM-R0ID, and tried
it in 1000 cases before he was satisfied.

The Literary Digest's straw vote on
the liquor question shows considerably
more women than men standing firm in
defense of prohibition This is what
might have been expected. Women have
generally seen the worst side of liquor.
Alcohol has never had the same appeal
to women that it has had to men, At
the same time, the ravages of alcohol
resulting from excessive drinking, have
always borne harder on women than on
men. Women have known only too
well its direct effects, mental, moral and
physical, on the men of their families
and its indirect effects of hardship and
suffering for them and their children.

Not a High Grade List

Question-Kindly give me your opinion
on the inclosed list of bonds for invest
nent. whether they, are suitable for, a
business man: Norfolk q Southern IS. due
1861; Peoria & Eastern As. 1910; Portland
Railway. Light and Power 5s 1890; st.
Louis & Iron Mountain As 1929; Baltimore
& Ohio Ans, 1885, Chicago & Alton ahs;
Iowa Central 5s. 1898; Keokuk Des
Moines 5s. 1923; Minneapolis & st. Louis
5s. 1884; Allied Packers 6s.-M. S.
Answer-Allied Packers 6s are not
secured By mortgage and, in our opin-
ion, are more speculative than is de-
sirable for investment purposes. We
believe it would be well to eliminate
them from your list. The railroad
bonds are second grade. We would
omit Chicago g. Alton 31ss, 1850, and
Norfolk Southern 5s, 1861. In their
place could be substituted higher grade
bonds of industrial and public utilities
companies, such as Illinois Steel de-
benture 41as, 1910, selling to yield
about 6.38 per cent, and New York
Edison first and refunding 61zs, 1941,
selling to yield about 6 per cent. This
would give you better diversified in
