DIVIDING YOUR DOLLATt
Making a budget is simply
putting down the amount ot
money which will constitute
your income; and against this
tho proportion of that income
which your experience or the
experience of others has proved
should be spent for the differ-
ent items of living expenses.
These items may be classed
roughly under the heads of food
shelter clothing operating or
household expenses and a fifth
head for purposes of convenience
named "miscellaneous" which
must include all items not other
wise included. Savings unless
scperately arranged for must
come out of the "miscellaneous"
allotment and should come
out first.
The only way to beat the high
cost of living game is by the ex--ercisc
of thoughtful and well
senoidered discrimination. You
have got to learn to buy what
you really want and then use
it. In other words tho only way
to get along comfortably those
days is to figure what you must
have and forget the rest. Few
'can have all he
K everything but
he or shp wants
everyone can
have something of what he or
he wants by doing without
something not wanted so much.
The budget system used in a
business-like manner with the
co-operation of every member of
the household is the ojjly way in
which a small or moderate m
come may be most stretched
Costlv foods are by no means
always the most nutritious
Shelter and warmth must bo pro
vided but should be comfortable
rather than luxurious. Cloth
ing is a necessity but the most
practical garments often are com
paratively inexpensive. Run-
ning expenses often may be cut
down to family advantage. The
budget showing just-how much
during a period may be expend
ed upon each item is absolutely
indispensible for the best house
keeping results.
Whatever the income how-
ever the budget may be appor-
which should include life insu-
rance and any other preferred
form of household or family pro-
vision for the future should be
as extended as pbssible and rig-
idly adhered to. The savings
allowance in ordinary American
family is the only bulwark
against the poverty gugbear
that may at any time rear its
grisly head to intrude.
In the election to the United
States Senate of Magnus John
son the people of Minnesota have
voiced their distrust ana weari-
ness of old-guard republicanism
and likewise proved just what
can be accomplished through
concerted action.
Since the escape af u hundred
or more murderous maniacs

to begin to realize that saieij
first' personally and public

ure dangerous and incapable of
properly governing their own
actions should not be fetter-
ed by the wishes of the soft-shell
ed "reformers" to the extent
that the public generally i
menaced as in the recent Ches-
f.v Illinois wholesale escape of
those who were criminally in-
sane. Too often it is noticeable
that in their overealousness
many "reformers" become wide-
ly seperated from the usage of
good and comjmon sense judg-
ment. '""Just about one of the great
est disgraces that can rest up
on an Iowa farmer is to tail nav

Fourth of July rolls around.
This is one of the years when
the Iowa farmers are in disgrace
on that score but if you could
view the Iowa corn field at
this time you would guess that
thoy are going to deliver an ex-
ceptionally large grist of goods

UNDERWOOD WILLING
TO ENTER CONTEST
Montgomery Ala. July !U.
Senator Oscar Underwood of
Alabama in addressing a joint
session of the Alabama legisla-
ture here today declared that it
the state delegation at the next
Democratic national convention
nnnicd him as a candidate for
the nomination for president
he would do all in his power to
lend Democracy back into the
White House.
The senior senator of Ala-
bama received an ovation when
he entered the hall of the house
which followed a demonstration
given in his honor in the down
town district by a -delegation
from Mobile and Southern Ala-
bama headed by Mayor Alf Tay-
lor of Mobile. The senator was
introduced by Goernor W. W.
Brandon who declared he was
commissioned to say that Ala-
bama demanded that ho throw
his hat in the ring and make a
fight to place democracy back
in control of national tiffuirs.
He presented Mr. Underwood
a the senior' senator from Ala-
bama "the next president of the
United States."
The Producer Consumer Gap
Reference was made the other
day by President Harding in an
address fil Idaho FaHs to the
wide gap between the producer
and the consumer and the need
of some more direct ycommuni-
cation which should cut down
the difference between the cost
of production and the price that
the consumer pays.
The President with all his
wisdom was not able to make
any very explicit suggestions
as1 to what can be done to nar-
row this gap. But much hope is
felt that co-operative marketing
of farm products will do some-
thing to cut out unnecessary
services.
Much can be done also by us-
ing the power 6f advertising to
its full possibilities If a re-
tail merchant will make free use
of advertising he should draw
in a large number of people to
his store and get into a position
where he can make low prices
on his goods. His expense for
distributing goods should be
less per article as the result of
securing increased volume of
business. Thus the consumer
should be brought nearer' to the
producer and a considerable
portion of the cort of distribu-
tion be eliminated.
This thought should suggest
that the consumer can further
his own interest by keeping
close watch of advertising which
merchants insert in newspapers.
Such notices will suggest that
a certain store has boughta
large lot of goods and is work-
ing them off at a reduction or
that goods arc being sold at low
prices for other reasons.
When the consumer observes
such notices he has a chance
to narrow down the gap that
exists between him and the pro-
ducer. If he fails to investigate
such opportunities and take ad
vantage of them in so tar s
they meet his needs he is not
dn'ng. his part to facilitate the
economical distribution of mer-
chandise and void some of the
cost of distribution.
A number of men beating
Iheirt way on la freight train
were killed some injured in a
recont train wreck at Fnirdale
Illinois. While beating a ride
these men were mere hobos but
when buried under the wreck-
age thqy were men rfellow hu-
m'ans and train crews worked
like mad to rescue them and af-
ford relief. Common tramps
one houi wreck victims the
next with special trains ambu-
lances hospital attention and
the most tender care at their
disposal. Every effort wasi
made to locate their relatives
and tho same treatment accord-
to the most prominent citizen
of the community under similar
conditions. It differs not what
our station in life may be we are
11 human afer all when the day
of adversity comes and we are
shown conclusively that the spir-
it of fellowship is never absent.

WHO CAUSES THE WARS?
Different people have differ-
ent theories as to whnt element
in the world causes the wars.
The socialists claim the cap-
italists cause wars by grabbing
for concessions -and trade ad-
vantages. But this theory fails
to see how terribly capitalists
suffer from such conflicts.
While they make money tom-
i orarily frtihi war contracts the
destruction' of proporty and loss
of production and upsetting of
business create very bad con-
ditions for capital. Threats of
war always throw a shiver
through the business commun-
ity. Some people feel that military
men cause wars. Maj. Gen.
Brewster of the United States
army declared in a recent ad-
dress that this is not true but
that the public is really back of
all wars. Another theory is
that politicians and diplomats
cause wars Which the people
do not want as the masses suf-
fer the most from this cause
for wars should be divided up
between the people and the pol-
iticians and diplomats. The
politician and diplomats do not
want war but they run risks of
getting into it in their effort to
obtain national advantages. The
men in control of each govern
ment are so anxious to make a
record of achievement that
hey strive for trade and com-
mercial advantages not usually
to enrich themselves or to please
the capitalists but with the
feeling that these advantages
will make the people prosperous.
Bui they overdo this scramble
and infringe upon the rights ot
other nations and their policy
brings the peril of armed con-
flict. If the people of all nations
would select public officials who
would be just as car'eful of the
rights of other nations as they
are their own the danger of
war would disappear. In the
last analysis the people are re-
sponsible fo- the tendencies of
their governments and when
the people of all countries se-
lect fair and just rulers . the
danger of war will cease to exist.
The people who live in the
country around Bartlett have
much to gain by making this
town their trading center
When they come in and make
friends with our merchants
they make them their allies in
all their projects. TTiey will
find these business men rendy
to help in developing the sur-
rounding country. Many who
need more capital to enlarge
their enterprises will be able to
borrow money here. If there is
need of further organization for
marketing farm products our
business men will be glad to help.
Every one of our1 business men
is interested to do all he can to
boost the reputation of tire peo-
ple who come in here to trade
If a farmer has ?ome specialty
he is trying to sell he will find
that the frionndship of our live
business men is a very practical
help in getting customers.
The majority of successful
business men irr the" cities owe
their advance to the" lessons of
thrift and common sense learn-
Led hi ejirly country life.
SAVED SICK SPELLS
Black-Draught Found Valuable by
a Texas Farmer Who Has
Known Its Usefulness
Over 30 Years.
Naples Texas. "I have used Thed-
(ord's Black-Draught for years I cart
safely say for more than 30 years." de-
clares Mr. H. H. Cromer a substantial
well-known farmer residing out from
here on Route 3.
"1 am 43 years old and wnen a small
joy I had indigestion and was puny and
my folks Rave me a liver regulator. Then
Mack-Draught was adverilsed and we
heard of it.
"1 began to tue Black-Draught and
have used it when needed ever since.
1 use Black-Draught now in my home
and certainly recommend it for any liver
trouble
"1 have given it a thorough trial ana

Mr. Cromer writes that he is "never
out of Black-Draught" and says several
ol his neighbors prefer it to any other
liver medicine. "1 always recommend
Black-Draught to my friends" he adds.
This valuable old powdered liver
medicine Is prepared from medicinal
roots and herbs and lias none of the bad
effects so often observed front the use ot
calomel or other powerful mineral drugs.
