the dust cleared off, three scores had
beenem Morris came back strong
in the eighth, three men on bases and
no body out but spectular playing by

finished the boys down the line.

APPLIED BOOKKEEPING
Advantage of Farmers Keeping

A stingy Mans Troubles

We once knew a man who was too
stingy to take tie newspaper in his
home town and always went over to
borrow his neighbor's paper.
One evening he sent his son over to
borrow the paper, and while the son
was on the way he ran into a large
staff of bees. and in a few minutes
his face looked like summer squash.
Hearing the agonized cries of the
son, the father ran to his assistance
and in doing so ran into barbed wire
fence cutting handful of flesh from
his anatomy and running a pair of $4
trousers.
The old COW took advantage of the
hole in the fence, got into the corn
field and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the stingy
mans wife rem out of the house, up
setting a four gallon churn full of
cream into basket of chickens drown
ing the whole flock. She slipped on
the cream and fell down stairs break
ing her leg and a SO set of false
teeth. The baby left alone. crawled
through the spilled cream into the
parlor and ruined, $40 carpet.
During the excitment the daughter
eloped with tile hired man. taking the
family savings bank with them.

Seeing the Light

Many of the American farmers who
migrated to Canada are coming back
to the States. L is the habit of the
American farmer to be constantly
seeking new lands. He has come by
this honestly. he is simply follow
ing the foot steps of his forefather
who kept plunging forward into the
western wilderness. Now that there
is no longer western wilderness, it
is only natural that the ever restless
tiIler of the soil should seek the broad
prairies of Saskatchewan. There was
the attraction there of the big wheat
crops which were always grown on
the freshly turned virgin prairie. But
in this instance, as was the cast with
our own pioneers, the first years have
been years of hardship, and, too, the
big wheat crops brought in mighty
slim profits. A commission which has
been appointed up at Saskatchewan
has Just reported that during last
year. it cost the farmers thirty five
cents a bushel to raise wheat or rsixty-
two cents t. O. b. at country elevators.
This leaves a very slight margaih
according to the Department of Agri-
culture for farmers to make profit.
The long rigorous winters have also
proved a great hardship for the Am.
orleans in many instances and they
are now anxiously looking for an
opportunity to return to the United
States. According to reports it ap-
pears that the cost of producing wheat
has increased over IL per cent since
1909 and the price has decreased
since that time from 81 cents to Sc
1-8 cents in 1913, leaving the farm.
ers profit of only Is 3.8 cents a
bushel.
Minnesota is still the best state in
the whole country, and don't you
forget it.
