BOW LARGE SUMS CAN BE SAVED ON SERVICE Moat People Fail to Consider What Help in Home Really Costs in the Long Run. In any plan for national economy British specialists think that the household rather than the family should be taken af a unit. Under household consumption they include! (1) services rendered maintaining the' house and its inmates, (2) the goods consumed or acquired by the inmates. (3) the general charges of cleaning, decorating, offsetting deterioration, etc. As a start in a saving program the British Commission has pointed out that services should be valued even more highly than goods, as each per-j on doing unnecessary and unproduc-1 tive work not only consumes without j producing, but is also depriving the country of possible productive power. Translated into terms of American saving, this service idea would mean, I "Do not hire any one to do what you can do for yourself in spare time un\ less you find it directly profitable." Few Americans are really honest with themselves as to the cost of serTlces. Not one family in a hundred really knows what a servant actually j costs. Most of them place the cost! of her wages and fail to count in herj food, light and other things she con-j sumes. Most of them, moreover, have no way of figuring correctly the extra i waste of food or extra breakage or, wear and tear due to the fact that j i - - the servant does not have the interest of ownership for making things go as ; far as possible. Few families know at the end of the year the important total that the "odd jobs" man or hedge j cutter or grass trimmer has cost them for service that might as well have been rendered as recreation or needed outdoor exercise by the man or boys of the family. This, of course, does not mean that ' no serv'ce should be purchased, j Where a housewife's time is worth more in money or other contribution to family well-being than the cost of a eervant she makes'a profit by employing some one who frees her to do better paid work than household tasks In many cases physical or personal reasons make it essential to the wei rft Af the family to have help, but in many cases the time saved to the members of the household by servants is not utilized profitably in a monetary way or even in a way to make tor real happiness or advanceinept^ Savings on service will give many people important sums to lend to their! government and save for themselves through War Savings Stamps. In th$ case of children work is not only a practical means of earning and savin*. but in itself is a valuable diecippine for life. THE CAVE MAN sr What He Wanted. He didn't say: "By Your Leave."

Banker* In all parts of this district hare been asked to taka part in the war which has been declared against the bond shark. The campaign is to protect we small holder of Liberty and Victory Bonds. Many of these people are being preyed upon by profiteers in government securities and by salesmen of so-called wild cat stocks. Gbvernment bonds^ which ate the best security in th? world, have been traded for worthless stock certificates which never have and never will pay one cent in dividends. While every holder of Liberty and Victory bonds is urged not to sell, tiic iaui id icvugunuu mat JJCIsons bought beyond their buying power and they now find that for one reason or another?good reasons no doubt? they must sell. Bond sharks have taken shameful advantage of some of these people, according to reports received, and the banks are now lining up to put an end to their activities. If a man finds that he must sell his bond he shovld take it to the nearest bank where he will be given its full market value or if for any reason the bank prefer not to pay the cash the bond holder will be directed to a reputable broker. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond has sent an official communication to every bank and trust company in this district urging their cooperation. The point is made that no criticism is aimed at the reputable broker who is legitimately buying and selling bonds and other standard securities, but a determined effort will be made, and indeed is now being made, to block the activities of thoea persons who by misrepresentation are preying u:)on the inexperenced bond "holders. BUDGETING CHILDREN Budgeting children will teach them the value of money and often make them more careful of their clothes and shoes. It will also bring out certain traits of character that nothing else will disclose and enable parents to correct faults before they become fixed habits. Any child old enough to be entrusted ^ith money is old enough to be given a specified amount to ppend each W8ek, and to be told the value of saving a pajt of it. Of course very poung children may not be allowed to choose their own elothee, but training along this line may begin very early and a sense of values and suitabili** may be instilled. Three grown girls in a certain family were given the same allowance for elothes, books, amusements, entertainment of friends, etc At the end of the first month May had spent all of her allowance and stated that she had nothing to show for it. Jane bad saved one-half of hers and deposited it in the bank.

Sarah produced an account book and showed that she had bought all the necessary articles of clothing, enjoyed several well chosen entertainments, and had purchased two War Savings Stamps, paying four per cent compound interest. These are typical, end the information gathered from the first month enabled the father and mother to show May the folly of wasteful and careless expenditure, Jane the importance of providing necessities firs* and th? virtue of generosity, and commend Sarah for her unusual b ness ability and sense of thrift. - J.
