LEARN TO ECONOMIZE EVEN
WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARY
One of the lessons taught by the war under stress of nec-
esity is to economize in the use fo food. Few people had ever
learned this lesson before the war ahd some have not yet
learned it. The urgency of food economy has not yet ceased
for the people of the world must be fed and America is the
greatest source of food. While learning to save food the peo
ple of this country have also learned to save money. This is
not so general as food-economy for the war has brought too
much money to many foolish Americans who have lived bet
ter than ever they did before in their lives and spent their
easily earned money almost as fast as they made it.
Saving for a rainy day is not such a prevalent habit in
America as it is in European countries but thanks to some
practical education on these lines in recent years habits of
thrift have grown and saving has become more ciommon. War
industries have turned the heads of thousands of workers who
have made more money than they could well spend so they
just had to save some of it but economy has not guided the
war workers as it should. Now that the War is over and fat
jobs at extremely high wages are not so plentiful as they ohee^
were it is well for all the people to study the'question of econ-~"
omy a little more closely.
A good business man says that the time to economize is
when you don’t have to and he is right. Lay up for a rainy day
is always appropriate and none ever regret putting aside the,
dollars to tide over the time when sickness or accident bring
trouble. One business man had said: “Nearly every company
has prosperous seasons and unprosperous ones, times when
money comes easy and other times when income falls short-
of outgo. And the usual tendency is to drift along while times
are good, then skimp, cut and economize when times are hard;
Yet simple wise prudence in prosperous times would save twice
as much as even extreme economy aves in hard times.’’
This lesson will apply fo all business and fits the farmer
just as well as any other. When cotton is 80 to 36 cents a
pound too many farmers and tenants will spend recklessly f 01 '
things they do not need at all. Then a year or two later when
cotton drops to 16 or 20 cents a pound they all get scared and
will not buy even the most necessary farm tools when they
are needed. This is all wrong. The time to economize is when
times are good and lfioney is plentiful. The store of. neces
sary things bought then or the bank account fattened up will
accomplish wonderful things just at the critical'period. From
the richest to the poorest the lesson should be taken to heart.
Save food now; save money all the time and when the real
rainy day comes it will keep oufc-the-wet. • -
