THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1918 Make A Budget So numerous and unusual are the demands which are made upon the purse strings of the individual,as well as upon the finances of business organizations, that it has become a fairly well recognized fact that some system of apportioning the income must be worked out, lest there be insufficient funds to meet imperative needs which have not in the past been included in the list of disbursements. A budget system, adapted to the individual needs of business, of the household and of the individual, is the only safe way out of the maze of demands. Everybody is urged, and rightly, to save and to buy with his savings; the securities of the government, Liberty Bonds, Was Savings Stamps or Thrift Stamups. It is a part of the plami of tile government to accept pledges of payment, to encourage the disposi- -tion to save by making savillg obligatory through these promises to buy certain bonds at certain times. Inl order; however, to know lust how much it~ is safe to pledge, there must be some score of needful expenses, some accounting for the luxuries and non-essentials which may be eliminated, some rekoning, in other words, with the habits of expenditure which have prevailed in the past. The budget habit is an excellent one for the American of today to develop., It will stimulate saving. It will classify expenditures. It will help the individual to differentiate between the necessary and the unnecessary. It will develop a habit of thoughful expenditure which will be of immense advantage in those hard days which are ahead of u s before the war is ended, and those almost equally hard days-after the peace terms have been agreed upon and the treaty signed, when the great work of' reconstruction of all our in- •dustries,, all our.social conditions, all our family life will be begun. That will be a time to tax our patriotism and our resources in almost as great measure as these. days of excitement and suspense when the fate of the Swhole world is being weighed in the balance of military strength. We must be ready with all our resources,- with all our organization, to meet those conditions. And a habit of planning expenlditures and of fitting tlem to a definite system, will be an immense help in bridging over th~e span between the return of peace and the restoration of normal living conditions. The Aristocracy Of The Future It is pretty hard when things are happening so fast around us and new developments are constantly arising to challenge our ingenuity to meet them, to remember that the present is a very small part of our hiistory, that it is the future which we should be thinking about, particularlywith reference to the part we are taking in the work of the day. Secretary of Labor Wilson came very near to the truth when he said, "After the war, only those who have helped will amount to anything. Our childre then will judge us, not by what we have got ,' but by what we have done." This we should all reimember. It is not the men who are making fortunes out of the conditions produced bythe war who will' be honored in the days after, tie last battle has been fought and our men return again to us from over seas. The time has passed forever when America will endure an aristocracy based upon wealth. We have gone through that stationary period of our history and the honored class of' tomorrow will be composed of those who have contributed to the good of the nation, either in actual service abroad, if their years and their circumstances permit that expression of their patriotismn, 6r in this country in some of the many important branches of civilian endeavor. That gallant young Australian, Captain Hugh Knyvett, said when he spoke before the Evanston public last winter that the new aristdcracy would be an aristocracy of courage. But is will be supplemented by the aristocracy of service. Not by what we have, but by what we have done, will our children judge those of this generation. It is the wise man who realizes and acknowledges that lie knoxvs nothling about what is. happening in Russia amid a real sage xvho refrains from prophesying what is going to happen there. . War and war problems are condi cive to plain an d direct thinking aid speaking. People shy at reatsons which bear every earmark of being just excuises. Hence there would be a more general appreciation of the position of the professional baseball interests if they would base their claim upon governmental consideration upon the fact that large sums of money are invested in the professional baseball and that such interests should be destroyed without due warning. It would 'go down with a better taste than the plea that baseball is an essential because it develops quick thinkinj and agility on tie part of participants, particularly since it is not the vacant lot game that is likely to be interfered with through the imposition of the draft law. Responsibilty fo? the failure of the Anthony amendment to pass the national Senate clearly rests upon the heads of those members of the Democratic party who prevented its submission to vote. It is a responsibility which suffragists will do their utmost to see visited upon the party when the time comes for the ele'ction of the next federal legislative body. Since the offending individuals cannot be reached through t'he woman's vote, necessity imposes the infliction of punishment upon the party 'to which the opponents belong. Do you think you have done all 'that should be required of you when you,loan your money out of your abundance while other men give their lives? Sacrifice a little, indulge yourself less, save more, loan all you can, and then be sorry you can do no more. Economizing may possibly hurt, but what of the hurts of the men who fight and die for you?. . .sav.g .. . ,,.. : . . Rogers B.

Discontinuance of Cre it In order to meet conditions brought about by the war we are forced to change our policy in extending credit. We very much appreciate the courtesy extended to us by the majority of our custom- 'ers in meeting their bills with a reasonable promptness in the past.-.However, having laundry work charged and carried on our books for a period of thirty days entails a considerable expense in keeping up the office detail. The large number of customers we have each owing a snall amount of money, requires us to carry many thousands of dollqars in open accounts. In order to meet the abnormal conditions, over which we have no control, we shall be obliged on and after July 1, 1918, to place all of our business on a STRICTLY CASH ON DELIVERY BASIS. This it not to be construed as a reflection on your credit of financial standing, but actual necessity compels this course, which is in accord with the request of the Government in its' conservation policy. We are relying on your co-operation. For your convenience we are issuing coupon books in denominations of $3, $5 and $10, which may be purchased from our representatives or at our main offices.
