THE MOO COW MOO." My Fa held me up to the Moo Cow Moo So clost I could almost touch And I fed him a couple of times or wo And wasn't afraid but much. For I crept close up to the Moo Cow Moo When nobody else was about But I runned away when he opene his mouth 'Cause that's where the Moo comes- out. And the Moo Cow Mioos for hooks on his head And his eyes stick out of their place And the nose of the Moo Cow Moo is spread All over the Moo Cow's face. And the Moo Cow Mioos for a tail like a rope And its ravelly down where it grows And its just like feeling a piece of soap. ; All over the Moo Cow's nose. And the Moo Cow Moos foots is all finger nails And his momma don't keep them cut And he gives folks milk in tin dinner ails, If he don't his handles shut.

In the past few years there has been a _ tremendous stress placed on the value of the budget in businss and govern- ment affairs. The budget no longer jis a colossal implement of gigantic minds an dinstitutions, but the work- a-day, practical method by~ which thousands of small concerns and in- dividuals make both ends meet. Young men and women working in various business establishments throughout the country have come in contact with the budget system. Many have adopted it in their own affairs and many more will when they are married and try to operate twofold without proportionate salary in- creases. Mrs. Frances Seaver, head of the John Wanamaker Budget Service, says: "We felt that there are only two persons to whom the averag man or woman will go for advice as to how to take care of his money,' Mrs. Seaver told me in outlining the be- | ginning s of the Wanamaker service. "The bank is ene and the merchant is the other. Of the two, we believe, the merchant has the greater power and the greater chance to influence spending and saving. We decided to employ this power of the merchant. "So, after we had studied the prob- lem for a year, we decided to give a service in household finance. it is a service which John Wanamaker's be- lieves is helpful to the general public in that it shows how good furniture can be bought even. on moderate in- comes. As a natural result of this help to people in buying good furni- ture, the sale of furniture has in- creased. The two go together. "Printer's Ink' in an article on the subject has this to say: Why isn't it a good thing? If everybody con- cerned in the transaction makes good on their obligations, where can harm result? Great good and far-reaching bene- come to. pass through instalment selling. It has enabled thtousands, even millions, of people of moderate means to buy advan- tageous articles which, had _ they been unable to buy them on _ the time-payment plan, they would never have owned. This applies to such things as labor-saving appliances in the home and on the farm, furniture, automobiles, education and the like. Harm results mainly through the abuse of the plan---when the oppor- tunity to buy on the instalment plan is extended indiscriminately to arti- cles that are quickly consumed or depreciate in value faster than they are paid for. When the consumer over-estmiates his ability to pay or mE when unforseen misfortune, such as sickness or loss of position, interrupt or defer the payments, hardship and economic loss follow. Wisely admin- istered, ther is great economic bene- fit. in instalment selling as a means of enforced thrift. The Herre rckier. Plumber's Devil: "Y'aint sick, are ye?". Plumber: "Naw! It ain't that.

The roof it has a lazy time A lying in the sun The walls they has to hold it up They never has no fun. HENRY FORD, DEMOCRAT, BE- COMES AUTOCRAT Has Henry Ford allowed power and wealth to change him? Few men can successfully withstand fame, riches, influence, authority. Ford for years had the reputation of being most dem- ocratic. He has that reputation no longer, says an influential American magazine. Those who have been inti- mately associated with him declare that he hag become autocratic, arbi- trary, tolerating no opposition, One after another of his ablest executives have found him "impossible" and have left him. Detroit is full of stories il- lustrative of Ford's high-handedness and arbitrariness as an employer. To hold their jobs his henchmen have become, it is declared, yes-men. Henry Ford no longer lives On &@ modest scale, but on the grand scale of the multi-millionaire. He has hard- ly any intimate friends among other men of large affairs. He prefers, ac- cording to his fellow-citizens, to min- gle with those who are willing to flat- -- ter and fawn upon him. sense of his own might has become grotesque was illustrated by his "Peace Ship" and has been illustrated afresh since. sense Of his power to compel the buy- ing public to take exactly what he chooses to offer them. This phase by his posing as a writer when all the world knows that--well, that he is not a writer. Henry Ford has much to the democratization of this country through his creation and wide distribution of his low-priced auto- mobile and exhibited so many admir- able qualities that the change which © purse and -power and applauSe are | manifestly bringing about in him is infinitely regrettable.
