It is harmless,, pleasant and safe to give to children t they like it, V BUCKLE-AND-TONGUE, Making buckle and tongue meet is a common Crackerism in the South. What thi3 means for the average fam ily of five in North Carolina and Georgia was investigatd by the Fed eral authorities several years ago when the cost of living was far lower than it is today. - v . It was found at that time that $408.26 a "year with good management would furnish an. average family with the bare necessities of life food enough for working efficiency, clothing enough to keep warm in winter, to keep clean and avoid rags., and a min imum of light and fuel; but allowed no margin for car fare, insurance, or funeral expenses. A little higher -standard of living called for ah average family income $708.87 a. year. With care this sum would allow abundant and varied food. individual taste in clothing, with changes for Sundays and holidays, sufficient room space, and a small sum over for health, insurance, and mod. erate recreation.. . Where Prosperity Pinches. In this year of our Lord 1917 the cost of food, fuel' and clothing has reached a maximum level. The; index figures of The Annalist show that the cost of 24 staple food stuffs has a lit tle more than doubled during the last twenty years. A minimum standard of living ih North Carolina now calls for some $705 a year, and a fair. standard of living for a family income Of $1239. Incomes of this sort will enable wage earners and salaried people to make buckle-and-tongue meet '' barely or comfortably. If a man's yearly income now-a-days is smaller than these totals, his fam ily must go without the bare necessi- ies of life, they must get along with fewer home comforts, and forego all uxuries: or his children must leave school and go to work years too early; while his daughters and wife must become breadwinners outside the shelter of the home., as nearly exactly a fourth of the white girls and women ten. years old and over were doing in North Carolina in 1910. With these haid facts of existence in mind, consider the average .annual salaries of our rural white school teachers, 235; of the white public school teachers In ou rcity systems, $454: of Baptist preachers outside cities of 25,000 inhabitants $473. Meth odist preachers $681. Presbyterian preachers $858 ; and along with, these the maximum possibe Incomes of in dustrial workers; which in 1915 ranged from $469 for motor car mechanics to $1408 for plumbers.
