JEWISH NEW YEAR
 WILL BEGIN TODAY
LOCAL SOCIETIES AND CHURCH WILL CELEBRATE DAY WITH
 THE USUAL SERVICES.
Something of the History of This I'm portant Celebration by the He-
 brews of the Country.

Rosh Hashanah or New Years Day, marking the beginning of the Jewish year 5672. falls this year on Saturday. the twenty ;.!hi!!raa Of Sep tember.
 llt is oiseryed as a holy day from the evening of Friday, the 22nd. un til sundown of Saturday. tae 23rd. The orthodox Jew observes also the SO called second day" on the 24tm.
 The Biblical basis for the observ- ance of the first day of Tishri as a New Years day and the most sell emn day of the Jewish calendar next to Tom Kippur or the Day of Atone ment, is found in the reference 10 a zikkaron ("memorial day') In lev ticus XXlIl, "A which reads:
 Tn the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trlmpets. a holy conversation ''
 Ezra also refers to the day as one ''holy 10 the Lord" (Nehemiah VIII, 9).
 Not mere day of rejoicing, like thc secular New Year, is this Rosh Hashanah It is day of memorial or a day of remembrance, reminding the jew of the duty of self examina- ton and f-judgment. To arouse the conscience to this solemn task the ceremony of sounding the Shofar or rams horn, forms an importan feature of the service Among the oIihodox Jews attainment of this object is also sought by setting aside a few days before the New Years Day for the recital, in the synagog of penitential prayers called Selihot This continues until the eve of the Day of Atonement. These Selihot (chanted in the minor key) before dawn in the dimiy lit houses of wor- ship. sound the note of grief and contrition for the sins of the past year.
 In many places the curious cere- inony of Tashlich. originating per haps with the German Jews not ear Tier than the XIvdh century, is ob- served on the afternoon of New Years day. The worshipers con gregate near running stream when the eighteenth to twentieth verses of tre With chapter of Micah are in toned, ending with the plrase whi<h no dou,a suggested tilo ceremony I~Thou wll; cast all i''tir sins into the depths of tle sea-"
 After the solemn services on the evening of Friday and the mornNF of Saturday the Hebfew greeting is heard on all sides, signifying "A good year" or "Mayest thou be in scribed Gin the Book of Life) for good year" In latter years a GUS tom has appeared of sending 70 friends New Years greeting cards O various designs, colors and inscrip. tinns. When the earnest deyotions of the day are done. the festival is made an occasion of social and do mestic rejoicing.

FARMING AND FIGURING.

The season is here, when there Is
more time evenings for figuring,
than when growing and caring for
! crops filled the long hours Of day.
light, and the subject of keeping
farm accounts comes up for consid-
Grafton, says the Missouri Journalist.
| Farming is Just as much a bust
ness as any other means of liveli-
! hood and it should be conducted on
business principles. The manufac-
turer who puts certain commodity
! on the market knows at the end of
! six months or year whether this
commodity has made or-lost money
| If it has made him satisfactory
profit, well and good, but if loss is
shown this manufacturer Immediate
ly finds out where the trouble is and
remedies it if possible. If this can
not be done he ceases the production
of this article. Everything bought
and sold is recorded, in black and
white, and at the end of month or
year it can be told, with a few mo-
department has made or lost
While the keeping Of farm ac-
counts is not Of primary Importance
~ certainly COIllSS lllSI dluOuS lie
secondary things. The recording of
profits and losses necessarily comes
after the farm operations which the
records cover. TO make business
bookkeeping alone will not suffice,
but there are many good reasons
for having the detailed information
which bookkeeping will give.
For instance your hogs may have
made you lot of money while half
the COWS that you have MIXED may
not even be paying for their feed.
Here, then, is one place where the
careful farmer will profit by know
ing just what he is doing. Then
take the case of the hogs which have
made you money. Just how much
money did they make you? How
much did you get for each bushel of
corn and each ton of alfalfa hay fed
to them? Did you make any more
by turning you crop into pork than
you would have by selling it? If
you didn't, you have lost money be-
cause the expense of all this feeding
is worth some consideration. Then
how is it with your chickens? Did
you keep an account of the feed
given them? Did they bring you in
profit or were there several old
hens in the flock that consumed all
the profits as fast as the young and
vigorous pullets made them?
All these problems should receive
close attention. The Improbable
animals and methods can then be
eliminated and profitable animals Sc
cured and methods adopted which
will greatly increase the yearly in
terest on the money invested in land,
buildings and live stock. Now is
good time to begin keeping accounts.

How to be Certain Of

opinion of thousands Of reliable people

American people the most stubborn

It was the dim sight of the girl and
the scream she uttered when hit, that
sent the man who was clinging to the
roadside fence back into the highway.
He bent over the unconscious form and
picked it up and staggered back to the
fence and followed it until he saw a
light and found the gate Of a farm
house.
His lusty calls for help soon brought
out man, and the senseless burden
was carried into the house and re-
ceived by woman.
Il don't know who she is, but I
found her in the road" explained her
rescuer. There is blood on her hair,
and think she was struck down."
We'll do all we can," replied the
man and woman together, but you
mustn't look for much. We are mighty
poor folks. We hain't got no cam
phor nor whisky, and as for getting a
doctor out from town-it can't be
done tonight"
The girl was carried into the only
bedroom and laid on the only bed, and
when her wet clothing had been re-
moved and she was between the
sheets, the woman got cloth and a
basin of water and washed away the
blood and whispered to the stranger:
II don't think she's bad hurt. She's
just tainted away with the scare of it.
When she opens her eyes I'll tell her
to 20 to sleep, and she'll be all right
in the morning"
do you think it's some young lady
from the village?" asked the stranger
of the farmer as they talked in whis-
pers in the outer room.

that new girl that arrived at Turner's
a few days ago. I saw her going to-
wards the village two hours ago."
Arrived at Turner'S! Say, man, are

neighborhood?

Our Horse Census.

A report just issued by the census
bureau presents remarkable figures
in connection with the increase in
the number and value of horses,
mules, asses and burros in the coun-
try.
Especially interesting is the show
ing concerning horses. In 1900
18,267,020 horses and colts were re-
ported. Ten years later the number
was 19,731,00O, an increase OF
1,463,980.
So, in spite of the immense growth
in the number of automobiles, we
had an increase of nearly a million
and half in the number of horses
and colts.
But the most remarkable feature
in this part of the report is the in
crease in the value of the animals
In 1900 the value of all horses and
colts was $896,513,217; in 1910 it
was $2,076,297,S28, an increase of

at Bradley's there was hardly better

But the victim of the accident was
no longer in bed, and the rescuer no
longer cared about the weather, and
the farmer folks looked at each other
and smiled and whispered:

DEATH"
And when at last they could make
their way to Turner's, and Uncle Bob
suffered and Aunt Harriet cried for
joy, Miss Minnie asked in a way that
was almost heartless:
'Why do you take on so? l never
had such lovely Thanksgiving in all
my life!"

The detectives did not know posi-

taken anything from the counter. but
decided to keep further watch over
her. At another store several days
later, while she was inspecting gems,
stone was dropped on the floor 'ac-
| cidentally,' and this also was lost. Gum
on front OF the shoe had got this one.
The woman was arrested and confess
ed that she had swindled nearly every
dealer in New York with her gum
trick.
Zone of the most ingenious thefts
was made in Berlin, where a fellow
walked into general Jewelry store,
knowing the owner had fine diamond
The thief wore an expensive diamond
himself and went into the store ap-
parently to have an old German watch
! repaired. He started to talk OF
diamonds and exhibited his own as a
choice stone. He was shown the other
stone by the dealer. They discussed
diamonds in every phase until the
watch was repaired, when the stranger
started to pay for the repairing. He
exhibited a large roll of bills and pur-
posely overpaid. During the slight
confusion Of counting his money and
paying for his watch he had substitute
ed the genuine diamond for a paste
stone, which was being carefully wrap
ped up and placed in the box by the
dealer while the stranger was saunter-
ing out with his watch.
1.-THE dealer saw a slight carbon spot
in the paste jewel just as he was clos
ing the box, and, knowing his own
jewel to be fiawless. hurriedly examin-
ed the stone and apprehended the thief
before he was a half block away, Sc
cure in the thought that he was safe.
HE was taken TO the store and every
particle Of clothing removed and he
was searched thoroughly, but the miss
Jewel could not be found. More
through curiosity at the oldtime watch
than anything else one OF the police
called in, opened the back of the case
and found gIittering up at him from
the main spring, the lost jewel. The
thief confessed and got a heavy sem
tence.
There are just thousands OF this
kind Of cases. but the big gem thief
usually gets caught or his conscience
goes back on him. said the gem thief
sleuth. "The majority Of the really big
fellows that l have ever seen are as
fine cut men as one would and any
where; their personality Is usually Of
the best, but with a bad streak in their
makeup somewhere"

CLEVER THEFTS
OF DIAMONDS

INGENUITY is VERY OFTEN

Chicago News: A former 1eweler,

the entire world in search of diamond
and gem thieves, was in Chicago sew
eral days ago and during his converse
ton told some Of the interesting
methods used by the expert thief to
steal jewelry.
"Of course" he said, I'VE all know
OF the fellow who travels along with
the diamond salesman for a month
or more ostensibly carrying another
line, but In reality only awaiting a
chance to make away with the sales
mans trunk. This fellow works a
long time for haul and is usually a
topnotcher. as diamond statesmen are
naturally suspicious of any chance ac-
quaintance. This crook, however is
a polished fellow, tells good stories,
drinks good drinks, smokes good cigars
and is generally agreeable and we'll
liked.
He does not push his presence on the
salesman, but manages to run into
him numberless times, and by various
methods Of his confederates usually
has considerable important appearing

some day the salesman packs his

Women make good diamond

whose trade II obtained regularly
would amount to thousands a year.
Any woman well dressed and possess
ing a certain amount of refinement can
see the entire stock of almost any
dealer in the country. When she is
clever enough she can get a stone or
piece of jewelry during her inspection.
Zone New York woman came into
large store and asked to see some
unset diamonds. The proprietor of the
store waited on her and showed her a
large collection OF fine stones. She dis
played monster roll OF bills and was
about TO purchase an expensive jewel
when she asked whether her husband
could see 1t. Why, certainly, replied
the proprietor. We will send 1t over
to him now, The woman hesitated,
and finally asked whether they would
hold the stone until that afternoon and
she would make deposit of $40 on Il.
This appeared perfectly proper to the
owner. but when she left two valuable
stones were missing. The woman was
hailed, taken to police headquarters
and searched. The gems were not
found on her, and in her indignation
she threatened to bring suit against
the proprietor. He was sure she had
taken the stones, but In his profusion
