YOUR EXPENSES

TC1OST of living now is about 65 per cent higher than when
Y the war started in 1914, according to the National Indus
trial Conference. It arrives at its figure by striking an average
for the whole country.
Bear in mind the 65 per cent figure is for a wage Garner with
five in family.
In simpler terms, according to the 'fggerers'' it now
costs $1.6 to buy whatcost ST before the war. Also, a man must
make $165 now to have an income equivalent to what 81 was
in pre-war days.
Interesting, for the individual to figure up and find how his
income compares with "what should be- on this basis.
Do you live on the budget ~system-divide your income in ad-
vance, allowing so much for rent and food, and so on9 Here are
the n. I. c. boards figures showing how spending should be sci
entifcaly divided,
Out of a $40 bill $431 for food, SLIT for rent or other shell
ter, 81 80 for clothing, Sc cents for fuel and light, $204 for "sun-
dries These figures cover only the income actually spent.
They do not include the 10 or 20 per cent which experts say must
be saved to provide properly for old age and success.
Which recalls that recently the Family Welfare Society of
Indianapolis asserted a family Of five could live on $500 a week
bv limiting the menu to certain foods of high nutritive value.
Here's one bit of consolation:
While the board reports it now takes $165 to buy what cost
81 before the war, an outlay of $2O5 was required in purchasing
he same stuff at the price peak in July, 1920.

Easter Bells
Ringing Gayly
For Louis Blaw

The Easter bells of happiness are
ringing joyonsly today in the hearts
of Louis Blaw, until recently an
inmate of the County Farm, and his
two SONS from Seattle. s1 ~,
For today the father and the two
stalwart sons were reunited after 12
long years, during which time the
sons had entirely lost track of their
father and had come to the conclu-.
sion that he was dead. ,,ssut
The sons. who are prominent bus
iness men in Seattle, ,onc . confec-
tioner and the other an automobile
man, drove up to the County Farm
today in shiny new car and ask
ed for Blaw. Blaw, who is victim
of rheumatism, came ahobbling to
the door andelooked blankly at the
two PROSPEROUS visitors. wondering
who could be seeking him,
When he found ii. = t7~o were his
sons, lie broke down and cried for
joy, which was all the more intensi.
fled when lie found they had come
to take HIM Tihome. "a e ~C
The story dates back to the time
Blaw left Seattle and started on d
tour, which finally led him to El
Centre, where he has been for some
years and is well known, being a
former employe of a local cleaning
firm. Things went fairly well with
him until rheumatism set in and the
pangs of it forbade Louis working
any longer. He had no funds so
there was nothing else but the Coun-
yFarm. However, his lonely heart
hardened back to former days in
Seattle and he recently wrote to an
old friend there, telling him of his
plight and asking for financial as
sistance w
The cold friend" was surprised tc
hear from Louis, who had been
thought Of as dead for many years,
and Immediately made it his bust
ness to get into communication with
the two sons, who had grown to
manhood, married and become pros
porous business men.
The sons lost no time in making
the trip to the valley by automobile
and expected to leave. today with
the father in their safe keeping, to
take him back to Seattle to make
his home with them.
Louis's wife, the mother of the
two sons, still lives in Seattle, and
there will doubtless be a joyful re-
union when the entire family gath
ers together once more under one
roof.
