Fifteen was he winning age in
the announcements made yesterdays
in the Thrift essay contest, there be
ing two successful contestants, a
boy and girl, both of that magic
number of years.
Helen Watkins. aged 15, 2514 E
street, won the first prize for the
best essay on "The Advantage of a
Budget for Expenses."
Helen is in Sophomore A, South
High school. She is the daughter
,of J. B. Watkins.
Honorable mention was worthy
Reily Truke. English six, High
Schools' of Commerce and Aldeu
Sherbondy, 11th grade, Benson
High. Here is the prize essay.
A Budget tor Expenses.
"Any boy or girl of high school
age, and any man or woman, should
have some idea of how he or she
is spending money.
"I believe' that young people
should be given allowances for
school supplies, carfare and other
incidental expenses., and that they
should be expected to keep within
these allowances. In order to do
this a budget is very helpful, since it
shows how every bit of money, is
spent. If boys and girls arc given
allowances large enough to cover
the cost of clothing also they
should be very careful that they are
buying, at reasonable, prices, ma
terials that wear well. Here, again,
the budget is useful, since one can
set aside a certain amount of
money for clothing, and the expense
account will show whether extrava
gant or wise purchases have been
made.
"A man at the head of a family
should also keep a budget. A cer
tain amount should be set aside for
clothing, housekeeping expenses
including food, as well as table and
bed linen, cooking utensils, dishes
and the like repairs, doctor bills,
and incidental expenses. This helps
him to save, as he can readily see
from his budget what his extrava
gances are and where he can save
best.
" "The housewife should also keep
a budget so that she will have to
buy wisely to keep within a certain
fixed sum. Naturally she will help
her husband to save if she keeps
within this sum. v
"The young man beginning to
make his way in the? world on a
small salary will need a budget,'
with amounts set aside for board,
room, clothing, health, carfare,
lunches, pleasure and incidental ex- -
penses. I his win mane nun a care-
iul soender. and being a caretul
spender will help him in the busi
ness world.
"The working git'I has the same
need for a budget as the young
working man. As many young girls
are careless witljr money they need
the budget badly.
ALLEGE FEUD IS
CAUSE OF FIGHT
AMONG CHINESE
Omaha Rival Factions in
Bloody Affray Over Estab
lishment of Chop Suey
Restaurant.
A battle between a Chinese tong
and non-members ot the tong,
fought in the vicinity of Fourteenth
and . Farnam street, late Sunday
afternoon, resulted in the complete
defeat of a group of Chinamen led
by SaTri Joe, an Omaha restaurant
owner, and put a stop to the estab
lishing of a chop suey parlor at 1408
Farnam street, according to reports
which have reached J. M. Gillan.
manager of the Chamber of Com
merce industrial bureau, and P.
Borsky, vice president of the Photo
Craft Shops, Inc., who had, just va
cated the property, at that address.
The battle was short-lived, fought
with a pitiless ferocity which
marked ancient tong warfare in old
China, and resulted in the severe
injury of two of the Sam Joe fol
lowers, according to reports. The
Alfred Raneri, a 15-year-old pupil' I in the contest for the best essay on
in 8-E. Pacific school, won the prize "Why Pay Your Bills." Young
Raneri is the son. of Tonv Raneri
and lives at Fifteenth and Pierce
streets.
Margaret Martin, Webster school.
and Pauline Moron, South High,
were given nonoraoie mention on
their essays on this subject. Here
is the winr' ig essay:
Make good your credit!
"No matter what one's occuna-
tion in life may be, whether he is
in business, has a profession, or is
doing just ordinary labor, he should
always pay his bills.
If he has purchased sroods from
a retailer, he should always pay his
bills promptly, thus enabling the
lormcr to pay his debts m the same
wav.
"That good cerdit is one of the
best policies in life there are many
proofs. The business world is
based -on pood credit.
"During the world war the allied
nations were able to carry qn the
great conflict through the immense
loans of money which other coun
tries supplied them with. Had these
countries thought that the allies'
credit was worthless, would they
have loaned them those vast sunls
of money?
"We had great faith in our gov
ernment. We loaned immense sums
to the United States because we
knew that this Country's credit was
excellent.
"Many rich men who began their
career as laborers, were helped by
others in attaining their fortunes,
because they were known to be
punctual in paying their debts. For
this reason they were able to bor
row money. This often enabled
them to get a start in life.
"It may not be possible for every
one to become ricn", but by , being
punctual in paying, we may at least
become rich in credit."
injured were taken away in a taxi
cab, Mr. Borsky said.
Police Get Report
Police Captain Vanous, on duty at
Central station, received an inco
herent call for assistance while the
fight was progressing, jotted down
the address. 1408 Farnam street, and
called the police operator. Patrol
man Jack Sheldon made his regular
report to the police operator and
was instructed to investigate the
call.
He found the place in great dis
order, but deserted, and made his
report accordingly. The matter was
dropped.'
Since the battle occurred no fur
ther attempt to open a cafe has been
made. Sam Joe, called on Mr. Gil
lan at the Chamber of Commerce
and displayed what he claimed was
a black-hand letter. The letter was
written to warn him against open
ing a cafe at 1408 Farnam street, he
said, and was simply another act on.
the part of a powerful Chinese tong
to carry on a feud which had
started hundreds of years ago, in
China. . "
Mr. Gillan advisd Joe to report the
matter to federal authorities.
Joe operates the Empire cafe on
Harney street and the Unique cafe
at Fourteenth and Douglas. He
claims that a powerful tong is domi
nating the Chinese interests in
Omaha and that it is impossible for
a non-member Chinaman to carry on I
a business here.
He substantiates " his claim by
pointing out to other battles waged
against him by the tong in past
years, several of which were only
stopped when large forces of police
interfered. '
The location of the proposed chop
suey parlor is directly opposite the
long-established King Joy cafe.
