"ArtonUon of the mntjoes suggested

biivh Frank F.herhart. chairman of
"Share With Others Hay" tomorrow.
"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."

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.

Melvin llaiiNen reported on tho
northwest realty dealer's convention
in Portland.
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. "
