A Thought for Today

The Lord is good to all: end his
tender mercies are over all his weeks-
All they works shall praise thee, 0
Lord; end thy saints shall bless thee.

Household Budgets.

Household economsts are urging
people to adopt household budgets
end banks end similar institutons give
out account books prepared so that.
people can apportion their expendi-
tures after some standard plan. While
many people lack the persistence to
carry out such a scheme, those that
do arrange a good system for home
end personal
the foundation of savings end business
success. Officials of any Norwalk
bank would be very glad to advise as
to methods end procedure.

Young couples just beginning wed-
ded life do well to study expenses
with conscientious thoroughness.
Many matrimonial ventures have been
wrecked on poor home finance. Such

 

 

'folks might have money enough for a

modest start. But their usual plan

was to spend their income as fast as.

they got it. When special needs came
along they had not planned for them.
and were in difficulties at once. Love
often files out of the window when the
purse is empty.

A married couple ought to study
some of the many works issued on
family budgeting. and get an idea of
what the experts think is a normal
division of income among the various
classes of expenditure. Then if they
find they are spending too much rela-
tively on food. or clothing or rent or
incidentals, they can study that parti-
cular item and see if it can not be re-
dueed.

The family budget ides. implies that
’eopIe will take the time necessary to

keep a. faithful account of expenses;

This habit is a splendid business
training. and it encourages methodi-
cal ways.

Most people who have kept such
accounts regularly become able when
they get the totals of their various
lines of disbursement. to see that in
this or that direction, their costs are
too much for their income. A sensible
person should find little satisfaction
in continuing a liner of expenditure
which is extravagant and beyond his
real needs.

Unattractive Dwellings.

In a certain town not far fi'om
Norwalk. the main line of travel is
faced by a succession of attractive
and cheerful looking dwellings. But
Just as this street approaches the busi~

 

. ness center, it passeéa group of run

down houses. The tenants thereof.
depressed by the dismal character of
these dwellings, make no enort to
keep them up.

The result is to lower the character
of that town. as almost all the people
who go through the place are unfav~
orably impressed by those few decad-
ent homes. Seemingly it would pay
some of the folks who own nice hous-
es on that street to buy those forlorn
properties, clean them up and paint
them and encourage the tenants to
keep them in good condition. Their
own property would gain from such a
change. which would help,the whole
place. Many towns have similar con-
ditions that call for action.

Ugiiness and Beauty. _

Most cities have some locations that
have from time immemorial been eye-
sores. The townspeople get harden-
ed to thetsight or these places. and
think but little about them. They do
not realise how they impress e new-
comer or a tourist.

War-aw. Indiana. had up com...»
ly two such unpleasant looking piecee
a low swampy tract and dump. A lo-
cal enthusiast led a movement for int-
meme as a result of which the
two locations were lined in and transo
formed into an attractive park and a
playground. Many taxpayers who had
obficted to the cost are now convinced
that it has paid. -

need a referee system to examine all

How do you know you have a
stomach at all?

Did you ever see it?

Did any one else ever see it?

Of course not. You take it for

maybe none.

much of the advisability of careful in-

Alas. there's so much to be seen.

In the last analysis, how do you
know that the stuff you use to run
your auto is gasoline instead of water

you tried, how can you be certain that

Wolves.

 

A great pack of hungry timber
wolves killsand. devours 5. white man
and two Indians in Ontario. City
people, secure era comfortable, read
about it and it seems unreal. a page
from the pastl Yet it is not many
generations since nearly every one in
the northern states and Canada had to
be on guard against wolves and simi-
lar perils.

Life is getting soft. We have con-
quered 'our natural enemies. except
germs. This leaves us more time for
stealing f‘rom and killing each other.
Co-operation is dimcult when common
perils vanish. Might be a good thing
for nature to turn loose a few million
wolves on us. ,

Practical Palitics in

BY Mm'ION BRONNER'

\rlA Stall Corcspoudell.
ERLIN. — Fearing
harder times than
Germany has ever
_ seen, the Social
Democratic Party
‘has deemed it un-
wise to take part in
governing the re-
public, during Jan-
uary, Februaryand
’ March?

Such is the reason
vhy the' biggest
volitical party in
he Reichstag allow-
ed the Wirth cabin-
et to fall and per-
.. .nltted Dr. Wilhelm
Gone to build a
ministry which, for
the first time since the revolution.
contains not one Social Democrat.

The Reichstag consists of:

Social Democrats. 173; Centre, 63:
German National Peoples Party, 67;
German Peoples Party, to; Bavarian
Peoples Party, 20: German Demo-
crats, 89: Communists. 15; miscellane-

 

big business, led by Hugo Stinnes. The
Democrats are the republican business
element. That Centre is the Catholic
party, many of whose workmen be—
long to Christian labor unions. Others
are small farmers and tradesmen, ai-

 

industry. like August Thyssen. also
belonggto it. On the whole. it favors
the republic. The Social Democratic
Party is sociallstic—a war-kin gmen's
party. best come the extreme radical
workman-the Communists.

In Alierica, many look upon so-
cialism as a. danger. In Germanyihe
Social Ilemocrats are the republic' a
backbone Their leaders proclaim be-
lief in Mint, but they are not as "red"
as they inund. The Communist: are

Germany

of the Social Democratic Party..

As the dominant party in the
Reichstag. the Social Democrats al-
ways had members in the cabinet.
But. the leaders, have preached that
German's economic ills 'were largely

though multi-millianaire captains of’due to the fact thlt- mac‘iCI-l 131131-

nessmen were included. ' Stinnes de-
manded that big: business have a
share. The workingmen don't trust
Stinnes. -

The Social Democracy. therefore.
felt it unwise to sit in- a cabinet with
big business. Also they saw danger
if they'continued to share responsibil-
ity for the government. It would be
better to let big business bear the
brunt.

The Social Democratic leaders, like
Crispien and Scheidemann, will be
able to point out that a cabinet of
business men has not been able to
work miracles.

And there is the further advantage
of being in opposition, the Social

tempt at real reactionary measures.
Cuno built his cabinet by the help
of the Right and the Centre, but he
will have to dance to the crack of the
whip of the .Left, if he wants to stay,
in power for long. His cabinet is in
hock. And the Social Democrats hold

 

the pawn ticket.
