"It Is taken fur granted that yon are St work earning an income, that you are putting such energy . Into your dully tanks as lends to advancement. "itut no matter what the Income la. unless the Individual saves some part of it. however small, ho is not on the getting ahead hnsls. llow to save is a lug problem. Making a budget helps to solve It. "Ity milking a budget or planning expenditures, the individual adopt a spending measuring rod. lie estimates In advance how much bo should save and share with others, and how lie can distribute the balance to tho heat advantage. This is business sense, ap plied to t lie Individual as contrasted with the hit-or-iniss method of spend ing ns things seem to be needed and saving whatever may be left which usually Itm't much. "It Is necessary to record expendl turCH in order to know how closely the spending conforms with the esti mates. ' "To keep n financial record la to keep the third point of the Financial Creed as well as the first and second. In this way you tan look forward to the happiness of that financial Inde pendence, which if rightly used, makes posnildo social and Intellectual devel opment, and the look ahead to an old age free from money worries." Oregon Coach Resigns P' 'f ' : ' I r a :-'. " t''t X i 'A Jr ' r ' "i';v ' ' hmrii fry, rs kA APPEAL FOR PARK JOE MADDOCK Joe Maddock Resigns As Football Coach At Oregon Resignation of Joe Maddock, foot ball coach at the University of Ore gon, was announced by university au thorities lout night. Tho Oregon mentor and the coach part with the best of feelings, the only reason for the resignation being that Mr. Maddock did not desire a full year position. When he came fo Ore gon it was on a one-year contract, and a telegram to university officials yes terday stated that he did not wish to bo considered a candidate on tho year- round plan. No steps have been made toward obtaining a successor. Virgil Karl, director nf athletics, will bo in charge of hunting up a new coach for the university, and the executive commit tee, composed of Itnndall Jones, stu dent body president; Victor liisley, vice-president; Dr, Dclbert Stannard of Fugene, alumnus member; Profes sor H. C. Howe, faculty representa tive will pass on the recommendation. Because nf the lateness of the sen son, and the fact that most of the coaches are already signed up for the fall football season, it' Is considered possible the university may huvc to full back on Bart Spellman and Billy Iteiuhart, lino and backficld coaches. or some prominent grnduatq, football pinycr or tne Institution, to carry them through the season.

Relieving that Eugene should have another public park in the south western part of the city, George Melvin Miller breaks Into proFe and quotes William Shakespeare and Mrs. Mary IJaker Eddy in his appeal for an outdoor playground for , the peo ple, Tho following in the letter of Mr. Miller: "Now sinre we. have decided to make a city of Eugene wo discover the necessity for more parks. As the southwestern section of the city is without any park whatever, naturally that is the section in which the new park should be promoted. A tract of HO acres adjoining the aviation field on the south, about half of which Is covered by nature woods, affords an ideal location. This is the larg est near in tract that has not been subdivided Into building sites and thun, made availuble for good park grounds. The north 30 acres of tho tract should be added to. the aviation field as the present, field is entirely too small. The remoining 50 acres is all woods Including some of the finest old oaks of tho country. ., . Can It Be Financod? i 'Shakespeare said 300 years ago; 'Nothing is good or had. but thinking makes it so,' and sixty years ago Mrs. Eddy said. 'The devotion of thought . to an honest achievement makes tho ahievement possible.' Here is something for Eugene peoplo with out regard to sex, age or previous condition of servitude to think of. One of tho secrets of Henry Ford's success i is Hre-fact that he had the good judgment to do tho things the people wanted done. He discovered the people wanted a good, cheap car so ho had tho people behind inn enterprise. Tho Buccess of the New York Florence highway la largely due to tho fact that the people want it. People are thinking of it all along the line making its 'achievement pos sible.' -''.' "This new park enterprise affords n splendid opportunity for some one or more persons to erect a family monument and perpetuate a name, as did Mr. T. G. Hendricks with Hendricks' park. "When I first secured control of this tract my first thought was to subdivide it for suburban homesites. as many applications for .this pur pose have been m'adc,,but the park idea has a stronger appeal. "It is now up to the people of Eu gene to inspect this property and de termino for themselves whether t is wanted for a pavk. It lies only fivo minutes walk from College Crest car station and eight minutes drive from the center of tho city by way of west Eleventh avenue (pnved) and Chambers street (macadamized). With this new park established, the city playgrounds would be well nal anced, giving the northern part Skin nor Butto park, the southeastern part Hendricks' park, and the southwest ern part n place yet unnamed.
