Early Married Days.
Carroll had been fortunate in
obtaining employment. His
fathers partner, Mr.. John Hur-
ley, succeeded in placing him as
a clerk with a downtown firm.
All in all, it was a very happy
summer. At week-ends we went
to Carroll's mothers house at
Easthampton.
AS a single girl I had never
had an allowance. When I
wanted anything / bought it and
charged 1t to papa. Consequently
I had absolutely no idea of the

can see what an uncomfortable
revelation I had when it became
necessary to pay for what /
bought. But I quickly learned
the value OF making a budget,
and we lived simply and happily
on Carroll's salary as a clerk.
The next chapter will describe
further our early married days
and what fun we had struggling
to make our way without help

WISCONSIN DOG LOVERS PAY
ANNUAL TAX OF 1866, 500
Canine Population in State Numbers
100000; Dog Tax Law Passed
in 1919.

Madlson-With 10000 dogs in
the state, owners Of the canine
population are paying an annual tax
of 1865, 500 according to figures
compiled by the state department of
agriculture
When the first state dog license
law was passed in 1919 fixing fees
of $3 for males and ST for females,
there was an immediate drop in the
dog population but since 1921 when
the fees were fixed at 5 and SO,
dogs have again become more
numerous
In 1919 the Legislature re .ognized
the need for dog law which would
not only help curb rabies and hydro
phobia. prevent killing Of homestead
ed animals and fowls, and prevent
yagrant dogs from becoming a
nuisance, but also provide protection
and compensation. regardless of the
ability Of the individual dog owners
to pay for damage done. The first
state dog law was passed in that year
with the high rate of taxation.
The dog tax is collected by the
towns. villages and cities at the time
that the personal property tax is col

AuIILE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. sTRAUS
President Of Americas Society for Thrift

A young man who has begun to
achieve considerable success in the
business world although still IN his
twenties recently said to the writer;
"What success | have achieved has
been due very largely to the fact
that while little more than boy
acquired the habit Of keeping a re-
cord of all my transactions no matter
how small. Then, from time to time,
would look over these figures and
see If could not find a way Of doing
better. Today / have my expenses
budgeted for the coming year. ! am
going to spend not one cent more
than $4,000, although | shall earn, !
am sure, several times that amount. "
Keeping a budget is an excellent
plan for anyone, poor or rich, old or
young. It is one of the best methods
Of learning the value of dollar. IL
makes easier the task Of saving
money. 1t is a direct help in cultivat-
ing system.
1t is not impossible for one to
practice thrift without budget, but
is great deal better to take advant-
age Of this plan,
Wasting money is always bad but
there is at least some value in know
ing how it was wasted, The worst
form Of thriftlessness lies in not
knowing what you wasted nor how
When you put your finger on sums
that have been frittered away you
have taken the first step toward
reformation knowledge of ones
shortcomings must always preeede
self improvement.
The young man who said the
foundation of his business success
was laid when he began as a lad to
keep a budget spoke a great truth.
1t is no more logical to expect
personal success without this safe
guard than it is to expect business
success without books and records.
