The torpedoes are really bombs of
formidable size, which explode on

hurled silently from a sort Of ballista

and the policy of the United States to-
ward them. a tendency In this country
to bubble and split hairs on the little
things in connection with this Philip

1T is a great problem and the greater
because the whole world is watching
our policy there.
Let me offer a warning not to yield
to temptation to which other govern
ments of the world have yielded in the
pasta temptation to exploit. Be
strong. not weak. and do not succumb
to the temptation to exploit the Phil

Governor Martin referred to the en-

far away and weaker countries.
A letter was read from Secretary Gar

WHAT YOU MISSED

We have never Hearu nom local
platform, more forceful address than
that given by Rev. Leitch, last Sunday
evening, at the M. E. church on the
subject, "Our Obligation to the Social
Uplift of Humanity" Although known
to be man of liberal beliefs and broad
practical ideas, Rev. Leitch surprised
his hearers on this occasion by the
very able and satisfactory manner in
which he handled this comprehensive
subject. The discourse bore abundant
evidence of deep study and was de-
livered in a clear, forceful and con-
vincing manner. Those who were so
fortunate as to hear this address, took
away with them clearer conception OF
the duties and responsibilities of Cit
izenship toward some of the social
problems of the day We regret that
we are not able to reprint the address
for the benefit of our readeas.
If there is anything at all in the
theory that a church is community
institution, and we believe it should be,
the Methodist church of Richfeld
under the leadership of Rev. Leitch
should occupy that position in this
community. We have listened to speak
ers and lecturers from the outside,
some of whom had state and even nat
i)nal regulations. But when we recall |
that only in rare instances have We
to addresses even approaching
that of Mr.. Leitch in depth of thought
and scholarly finish, some of us might
we'll wonder if we have not been over
cooking something in not going to
listen to him oftener.

FARM INVENTORY

An inventory is regularity taken by
all good business concerns. Since the
farm is as much of business concern
as il the store or the factory, the
is essential to the farmer S
business.
An inventory should show all re-
sources and all liabilities. Resources
include real estate, live stock, equip
ment, feed, supplies, cash on hand,
bills receivable; in fact, anything OF
value to the farmer. Liabilities are
notes payable, accounts payable,
mortgages, etc. The difference be-
tween resources and liabilities will give
the farmers net worth. If an accurate
record of these various items is taken
once each year, the farmer will be able
to see how much has been made, or
how much lost during the year. For
example. let US suppose that an inven-
tory taken January /. 1915, shows
farmer net worth of $4,000. 90. If on
January l, 1916, his inventory gives a
net worth of $2500.00, the farmer has
made 5000. 90 during the year.
The usual time for taking an inven-
tory is when there is the smallest stock
of material on the farm. This is gen.
orally some time during the late winter
or early spring. January 7st, however
is very convenient time. If taken on
or soon after the first of the calendar
year, it will not interfere with spring
work and will also show the farmer
what materials are needed for thu
coming season.
The following is a suggested outline
