KEEPING VP WITH THE JONES' Notwithstanding: Mr Babson and ? lOtKer tra(?d busmen* progrr.ostica tors, we hfcve not been living m clover ,in this section for more than a year. In fact prosperity has not been a <*a!Ier ait the Ironies ;>f many of us -oince nineteen hundred and nineteen. But what is the difference; /we had loan years before that time, and >5* 1 f^rtainlv we have had lean years aince, but if 'we jshould be blessed with pjoQd crops and good prices this year we will do just as we did be I fore the lean xe$L*s fame on. us?that isf we will spend jufct a little foore than we earn and refuse to lay by a penny for the rainy day. Those of vs wh po to Sunday School, and ?every one should, have been study- ' inp about .Tiacob, how tbe Lord , i>lcHsed him, but when the famine I cam< he did ..not have any tread. And so it w ill . be with Vs. ' We arc' Hll tod prone .to howl about haul t fanes,' we. haye hearl it; all 'cf ur Kves,' and expect, to hear it 'ito lor ;? s' we ' shall ] ive-..' but that ?; 'dofa nrt V'V .'.l- ii>. tess guilty. ' The truth of matte* ? if i! 11 ?-.f ft ? -fead IjVed. <iaritg% nineteen, husc'.r.ed : and nineteen as we have lived the past year, th^re would have baeii no hard times in ters good Ccurty. We would all have had enough In tke bank to title u* ver several lean years. We prate ab ut the iph cost of liviYtf," *\vhen It is r.ot the high cost c,f - .living:, . but **he -.cost of hiph living: " Rejcardl&ss 01. k iuo | Of tmlary we all want .to live like "the JoV.es' "r the bank clerk thinks \e intuit Uy? just as does the presi dent, the. clerk;in the dry goods store, -wants to dress just as extrava gantly as doeq the merchant, and the clerk's wife oftentimes spends much rr.:re on dress than d'oes the proprietors wife. You no longer cai) tell how Kch a person is by the num ber of diamonds worn on the many fingers., and you can not tell hew the man whc> sold the diamonds is scratching his head trying to think of a way to collect for those dia monds. There is only one way to be in dependent* and that is, spend just a little less than you make. If you make little, spend little, and if you can not pay. for what you want, then don't want it. barf enough to go into debt for it. We have simply pone wild on the question of spend ing, and this does not apply to any class, it takes in the business man, the man Who wc-rks in a bank, stori, the professional man and the farm er. We are all guilty, and r.r.Uss we get down to sensible vlivihg we are always going to know what it is to be hard up, with hard times staring lis in the face. Dont worry about h vW "the Jones'" live, think about h :>w you live. We know our corn club boys ate feeiinp pood .just at this time, for that fine rain Sunday put them in fine spirits.
