The ten commandments as recom- mended by Walter W. Head of:Omaha, “wice' president of the National bank .Section of the American Bankers' as- ‘sociation, are: 1. Make & budget. 2. Keep an intelligent record of ex- ‘penditures. 8. Have 8 bank account. 4. Carry life insurance. 6. Make a will. 6. Own your home eventually. 7. Pay your bills promptly. 8. Invest in War Savings stamps and other government securities, 9. Spend less than you earn. 10. Share with others. Thrift with- -out benevolence is a doubtful blessing. The eight days of the National Thrift week have been named after some points of the financial creed, as follows: Saturday, January 17—“Bank day” or “National Thrift day,” to empha- size the need for Individual thrift and the service a bank renders a com- munity. Sunday, January 18—“Thrift Sun- day,” with sermons in all Amercan pulpits on the relation of economic life to religious well-being and the need of sharing with others. Monday, January 19—“National In- gurance day,” to stress the need of protecting one’s family. Tuesday, January 20—“Own Your Home day,” to show why It is desira- ble and how it i8 possible to own your own home. ‘Wednesday, January 21—“Make a Wil day,” to urge men to make wills. Thursday, January 22—“Thrift in Industry day,” to advocate factory thrift and co-operation between capi- tal and labor. Friday, January 28—*“Family Budget day.” Saturday, January 24—“Pay Your Bills day.” Employer Is Affected. Supporting this movement In an ad- dress to the bankers in their conven- tion here, Arthur M. East of New York, national director of the Thrift week movement, said: “Financial and industrial leaders are Interested in the Increased cost of liv- Ing because they know that in most cases the bill for the increased cost 1s handed by the worker to the em- ployer for liquidatian. The bill for the -cost resulting from the inefficlency of the average man and housewife in the spending of money and their fallure to get full value for 'money received is also handed to the employer for pay- ment either in increased demands for wages or in Increased dissatisfaction and industrial unrest. “So many employers are learning that, along with plans for stimulating the interest of the worker in his jeb, there must go hand in hand with it an education of employees in funda- mental economics and in the use and value of money.” N ..a.-lm-o-mm-c—-—o»o o Leams at 70 Two Can’t Live Cheaper Than One § Santa Rosa.—'You can’t beat ¢ this high cost of living nohow,” says John Boroquez, seventy years old, who on September 6 married Adeline Young, aged sixty-four, keeper of a boarding house, on the theory that two i could live cheaper than one. f They agreed to divide the pro- i ceeds from the boarding house. H Boroquez asked for his share i of the profits. The thrifty bride refused and started for the bank to deposit the coin. Boroquez went to the newspapers and had inserted a notice that he had left his bride and would not be re- sponsible for any debts contract- ed by her.
