SOME GENERALIZING
ON LIVING COSTS
Interesting Facts Told Here in
a Very Interesting
Way
<By Eudora Ramsay Richardson, furnished
the Herald by Miss Helen
Thomas, County Home Demonstration
Agent.;
Perhaps here and there married
life has degenerated into a matter of
dollars and cents. Indeed Dan Cupid
is often supplanted by gnarled and
hoary H. C. L. with his retinue of
impish problems.
A common problem has made Judy
O'Grady and the Colonel's Lady more

problem with a level head and full
information. The war has cost us
in round numbers twenty-five billion
dollars, a debt which the people must
pay. If we are to readjust ourselves
to new conditions reconstruction imposes,
women must study the problem
from every angle. After all, a
solution will come only when home
makers of town and city, hamlet and
countryside are alive to their individual
and collective responsibilities.
Wise spending of money and its
equivalent, careful use of what
money has bought, conscientious
spread of the "work and save' propaganda
will do more to bring order
out of the present economic chaos.
Since women buy so large a part of
all household commodities, in our
hands lies the power to curtail much
of the excessive demand responsible
in a measure for high prices and low
saving accounts.
me country needs a greater number
of capitalists. Until the women
in the home, the man in the factory,
the girl in the office and store, and
the clerk in the bank, begin to save a
portion of their earnings each month
the American home and the American
community are not built upon a
sufficiently stable economic foundation.
In the iinal analysis progress
rests upon the saving of money. Hotter
roads, better schools, more general
college attendance, more attention
to health and happiness depend
in large measure upon the wise investment
of savings.
Thousands of Americans, however,
have learned neither the necessity to
save nor how savings may be accomplished.
The savings division of
the treasury department is endeavoring
to impress both necessity and
means of accomplishment. The pur?
pose of this little pamphlet is to take
up wise spending in its relation to
food arid clothes, because in the purchase
of these necessities so large a
portion of the average income may be
expended, to outline a simple budget
system, to the end that careful planning
may make possible a savings
column, and to noint out securities
safe and profitable for the investment
of- these savings.
Concerning the Food VVe liuy.

and art;
"We may live without conscience and

After the first Sunday dinner the
president's wife rolled up her sleeves
and undertook to reform the housekeeper.
This was the dinner that so
dismayed the president's wife:
cnicken with bread dressing, rice,
macaroni, biscuits, potato salad, icecream
and cakr?starchy throughout
and calculated to make the partakers
properly stuffed for the rest of the
afternoon. Now the Sunday menu
runs somewhat like this: chicken,
lice (for we are speaking of a rice
loving state), spinach, biscuits, fruit
<?i1ad, ice cream and cake. There arc
the protein, the starch, mineral salts,
fruit acids, fats and sugar, calculated
to make a man healthy?an l, as it
often follows, wealthy and wise.
From the standpoint of economy
the balanced diet strongly recommends
itself. When all parts of the
body are harmoniously nourished,
' oally less food is required, and like
the proverbal "apple a day," balanced
meals will surely "keep the doctor
away."
Foot note.?
* By "balanced meal" is meant a
meal maintaining the proper proportion
between carbo-hydrates, proteins,
fats, and mineral matter.
Garden Variety.
It is difficult, however, for busy I
housekeepers to avoid the ruts one
slides into unconsciously. In the city
less forethought perhaps is required,
for a market is near at hand for the
last minute purchases of the tardy
housewife, but in the country a woman
must think far ahead to provide
the variety her family requires. Her
opportunity to reduce household ex1

penses ana to oring aown me cost 01
living- is greater with a consequently
greater community responsibility.
While the city /housekeeper only in
rare cases can be a producer, the
farm woman can contribute largely
to production. In planting a garden
rich in variety, a garden more than
adequate for the all-year demands of
her household, she is contributing to
the family savings and insuring
health fulness at home. If the word
"variety" could be written in large
letters across the gardens of the
South, a big step would be taken in
the direction of health and economy.
"But my family don't like the new
fangled vegetables seed catalogues
advertise," many a despairing woman
is heard to complain. Why not train
that family? See if you can't cultivate
their tastes. Make them know
that in winter and summer their
bodies must have variety. Yow will
find even older sinners against dietetic
laws remarkably docile if handled
with tactful persistence.
On the other hand, the worn-in \vhn
is producing for the markets must
consider first of all the salability of
her product. It may be altogether
altruistic to attempt to cultivate the
tastes of the community, but this
sort of altruism often proves disastrously
expensive. In the second

place, it is necessary to take account
of the cost of production and balance
this against the income derived indirectly
from family consumption
and dircctly from the sale of products.
Later we shall emphasize the
importance of a simple and reliable
system of bookkeeping.
The Problem Solved.
However thrifty a gardener the
women on the farm or in the small
town may endeaver to be, there is
doubtless some food which must be
bought. How buying may be reduced
to its minimum seems best exemplified
by four old women who lived in
the mountains of South Carolina.
Perneacy, Victoria, Salina and Tekoa
Green arc really indepenJoat women,
though their kind are often called
our "contemporary ancestors." Miss
"Nancy" and Miss "Vic" till ihe hillsides
unaided, raising excellent crop.-.
i\iiss Tekoa tends l ie garden with
zeal and an intelligence stimulated by
much perucal of government pamphlets
and farm sections of the daily
papers. Miss Salina, the eldest and
a crinole. is the Martha of t.liA
cumbered with many cares which include
cooking three meals a day,
cleaning the house and canning and
preserving the variety of fruits and
vegetables Miss Tekoa's efforts bring
forth. It is all planned aloiif? lines
of labor division, with the result that
absolutely nothing has to be bought
except coffee and sugar (the tea is
dried rosemary and goldenrod). The t
spinning wheel still stands in the big
living room and the old loom in the
basement. On rainy days passersby
can hear the monotonous buzz of the
wheel and the even tapping- of the
shuttle thrown back and forth by an
experienced hand.
Our four mountain sisters are
carrying home production to an extreme
inadvisable perhaps for the
farm woman of other communities.
The example is worthy, however, of
a degree of emulation, and if more
women with plots of ground to cultivate
would apply themselves to the
task of increasing production, food
prices would be seen to tumble.
Nevertheless, many rural women
must buy at least part of their table
supplies. Here too there is a public
as well as a personal responsibility

have always been rather reckless
in our spending, and, as many of
us are sorrowfully realizing now,
this recklessness, intensified since
the signing of the armistice, is largely
to blame for the high prices today.
We must inaugurate an epoch
of thoughtful buying; we must learn
to be guided in our choice by quality
and not by the price ticket attached
to the article; we must purchase the
essentials before the luxuries; in
other words, it is every woman's duty
to get a full dollar's worth for every
hundred cents expended.

HERALD'S MACHINE
NOW IN OPERATION
Mr. J. L. Tripp, of the Intertype
Corporation, arrived here the first
of last week from Jacksonville, Fla.,
and since that time >has been engaged
in erecting the new typesetting
machine purchased by Conway
V'uolishing Company. When the machine
arrived, a Model C, multiple
magazine, with auxiliary magazine,
the machine already in use by the
Herald had been moved to a new position
on the concrete floor of the
new print shop and it had been running
for a week or more by power
from its new shaft. Room was left
for the new machine, and it is now
in its place, fully installed and is in
operation, doing its part in the printing
of this issue.
Everybody is welcome to call at the
Herald office at any time and see, not
only, this wonderful new machine in
operation, but any of the other interesting
machinery that the Herald
now has.

COTTON NEEDED
IN GERMAN MILLS
Washington.?Luck of raw cotton
and fuel is greatly reducing cotton
manufacturing in Central European
countries, according to a report on
the cotton situation at the department
of commerce from Consul Howard
W. Adams, at Berlin. Spinners
and textile mills in Germany, Austria,
Czecho-Slovakia and Jugoslavia,
the consul said, are working
only from 20 to 30 per cent of their
full capacity.
Because of the unfavorable rate of
exchange of the currency of those
countries, as against the American
dollar, the consul explained, the spinners
and textile mills can afford to
buy raw cotton only when they are
ubie simultaneously to market the
converted goods for export.
Consignments of raw cotton stored
in the warehouses at Bremen, Hamburg
and Eisenbrod, Bohemia, were
bought by dealers before the drop
in the price of cotton in the United
States. Consul Adams declared, and
the prices now being asked the consumers
rendered it practically im
