was spending the small sums that eat such a hole in any man's income. His scheme was strongest at the times when it was most needed.

This result is most important for two reasons. In the first place, it exerts a wholesome influence on the expenditure of small sums-that part of a man's expenses which is so hard to regulate; and it does so without imposing any harsh or artificial restrictions, such as would be imposed by allowing only so much a week for each variety of expense that figures in daily life. In the second place, by asserting itself constantly, it strengthens continually the habit of saving. Taken all in all, Johnson's scheme is the most

seen; it meets completely every test we have for an ideal savings plan.

And now we have enough ideas to figure out our own plan. We have seen what tendencies our plan should contain and just how it should be adjusted to each one of us; and we have seen, by three examples, just how three men have accomplished the desired result, and solved the problems that confront us.

Other schemes without number have been used, and many are positively startling in their eccentricity. But all of them embody the features discussed in these typical cases, and so are not worth bothering about while we are puzzling over our problem.

We see that in order to save we must first consider our style of living, and plan to live in a fashion that will not be irksome, on less than we make. Then we must adopt some scheme that will insure regular saving of the saved amount, adopting, if possible, a scheme, freakish if necessary, that touches our incidental expenses in such a way as to regulate and control them. And then we must keep everlastingly at it, regarding every slip and lapse as a positive misdeed. In such a way, perhaps we can get together the sum-the thousand dollars that is the

Take a reminiscent look at recent exposition history. Chicago, greatest of them all, did wonderfully well. The White City paid operating expenses and left enough to give the stockholders about $47,000 of the twenty millions they had donated. The State of New York had the honor of paying the deficit when the gates of Buffalo's exposition closed. St. Louis St. Louis developed an early and lasting deficit; the federal government had to use the financial pulmotor at Jamestown. Seattle and Portland succeeded in breaking even. And Omaha, largely because its capital stock consisted of contributions totaling only $292,000, accomplished a miracle.
