HOMB ECONOMICS
I .My wif* (bless her heart) is the
moat economical worsen 1 ever saw,
hearit of, or read about. f>hd can
make ? dollar go further (to Chicago,
if necessary to make her think she
Kave?\a penny) than any other person I
extant^
I. . No sir-ree: she wont pay too much
for m>thing*^The_other day, one of
Eur 10-cent stores trio dto sell her 21
marshal! neel rose bushes for 151
Eni. each, or 2 for 30 cents, She
Khought over the matter 2 days and!
Eights, and a thought struck her, as
Bollows:? I
I. ."My * sister has 2 pretty rose]
Brushes just like those at the ten-J
Kent store,-and I'll just go get theml
End transplant them". The next day I
Ehe took her car and 12 gallons of I
Eas ($2.30) and hired an extra I
Ehauffeur who could dig up rose!
Bushes ($2-50, NIRA rate), and wentl
Bloun (G4 miles there and <>l miles!
Back) and'got those plants. < I
.She deeded a coat (so she said in!
February; she worked her home ifown I
thoroughly, and found one ($29.98)
that she liked very well, and was I
Biico enough to tell irie that night of
B<,t discovery. She wasn't satisfied i
bout the price though. The next day I
Bhe and her chauffeur got in her car
Bwnl used 7 gallons of gas in driving
Bo a neighboring town (30 miles dis- I
Bant) to look over their stock.
. She reported on her return that
Blight . . . after I had gone so long!
B^ithout supper that I wasn't hungry I
B that she had found a coat "over I
here" just like the one she found I
over here"^ for only $29.49, or 50
Bents less. She was exactly right in I
Balking to me before trading; I told
Bier to go ahead and use her judgment
Bud my money, so s^e drove over the
Biext day and got the coat, and put
Bhe saving (50 cents) in her foreign
Bnission budget. I
^g.You can't pull nothing over my I
hfe when it comes to looking after I
Bennies, nickles, and ddmes . . ,;.vbut]
Bhe ain't so careful when it comes to I
lobars. She saved 19 cents on a hat I
Bast year by ordering it from New
Bfork, and the postage and ihStfrance
Bin it were only 84 cents. She also
Baves on many items, such as spinach,
urn, 35~cent eggs, and turnip
reens, fish-roe, fat back meat and
Btorghum. Pity everybody ain't like
Bier; there wouldn't have been any
Blepression if folks had saved their
Bnoney like she saves money.

snatched the officer's own gun and
fired the fatal shots with it.
