You, couldn't let a contract like

We don't do that planles$ way even
in such a relatively unimportant
thing as making a dress.
Yet in this very important busineas
of spending money—the business, we
well know is going to affect our hap-
piness and development --.we say,
"Oh, what's the use of planning?"
But once we have' tried planned spend-
ing, we would no more live without a
budget than without food. It becomes
a necessity.

In making a budget, figure first the
abolute essentials of living; there
are three—shelter, food and' clothing.

Crops in Eastern Canada.

pleases, tucking in a bit of recreation

works, and to pack infinite variety
into her day's work --cooking, house-
keeping, gardening. and poultry tend-
ing are mixed'. in with sewing and
marketing.
As we study our job we find that we
have only two things to work wit'n—
the family income arid -our time. And
the success and happiness of family
life will depend upon our skill in get-
ting full value out of this dual capital.
It is a bit -easier to organize the in-

MOST SHOPS TOO SMALL.

while they lack several of the essen-

recently visited a farmer friend. One
of ray auto tires caused trouble while
