FARMER LEARNED TO KEEP
BOOKS; NOW HAS BANK
ACCOUNT.
Record Should Be Kept Of Each Crop
Means Greater Profit.

A farmer who kept an account of an
Irish potato crop was 80 pleased with
what he learned that he decided to
keep accounts Of all his crops the next
year. He soon had . bahk account
and farming daily grew more interest
ing to him.
Every farmer should keep books 20
that he may have accurate informa-
ton about his business and may know
the cost of labor, machinery and raw
material. 1t is important to know the
cost of producing each pound Of cot.
ton or hay and each bushel Of corn or
oats. Do not figure on the basis that
it will cost SO much to prepare the
land, so much for planting and 30
much for cultivating. That is like
figuring in the air. What you want to
know is not what 1t costs anybody, but
what did It cost you on your farm
as you raised 1t. Keep the record
once and learn something new.
A farmer should be q better corn
raiser next year than he is this year:
keeping an accurate account Of the
cost Of producing his crop will help
him to improve. Bookkeeping il a
method Of accurate and painstakins
thinking abut ones business. That's
reason enough why a farmer should
keep books. r. L. Hines,

not wait until o'clock. However,
this evidence was turned over to
Judge ScuIIy. There is a chance that
every vote cast in that precinct may
be thrown out.

eTal arrests were made.
Scully, HOyne and Clabaugh came
into possession of evidence early in
the day that huge amount of
money was being USED in certain
wards to swing the votes.
The Republicans showed every
ear-mark of prosperity. In precincts
where five workers have been used
at previous elections, ten and as high
as fifteen were on the job early
shouting for Hughes and Harry Mil
Ter.
Arthur BuTrage Farweu made com
plant that a Prohibition challenger
was thrown out of the 10th precinct
of the 1st ward. The challenger,
J. x Williams, said he got in wrong
because the first 18 voters were as
sisted by the election Judge and that
he kicked about it.
In the 5th precinct of the 10th
ward complaint was made that Louie |
Weiss, ThOmpsOn-Lundin Judge, was
insisting on going into booths and |
showing foreign voters how to cast !
their ballots.

cratic worhngmen had not been

Rumors of fraud kept private de-

Maclay Hoyne was greatly encour-
aged by early reports that he was
strong in heavy Republican wards .
like the 9Th, 7th and 25th.
Lady Lois Kellogg, 1928 Prairie av.,
society leader, swept into the cleo
ton board rooms early today and
demanded the right to vote in her
precinct. Said she had been refused.
Was told she had been sent suspect
notice and hadn't answered. Admit
ted she had lived in Lake Forest until
recently. Went away without right
to vote.
The big fight, of course, was that
between Wilson and Hughes and the
hree-corpered race between HOyne,
Miller and Cunnea for the states at
5orneyship. In strong labor wards it

A Service. l SEATTLE, May 23'-After a search which has covered half states in the union, Mrs. Eloise Dennis and her sister, Miss Bea- trice Nelms of Atlanta, who has been missing from their south ern home for several years, have finally been definitely traced to Seattle and Snohomish City by detectives who have been on their trail since their mysterious disappearance nearly three years ago.
 For more than a year no trace could be found of the two sisters and many peculiar circumstances attending their disappearance 1 finally led to the arrest of two persons on suspicion that they had been murdered. The mur- der suspects, Victor E. Innis and wife, who is sister of the miss ing women, were tried in the Texas courts last year for mur- der. They were acquitted for lack of evidence but are at pres ent awaiting trial in Atlanta, to which place they were recently removed for alleged frauds in connection with the handling of property interests belonging to the missing sisters. After vain ly searching for nearly two years the detectives employed on the case finally discovered a clue which has been consistently fol- lowed during the succeeding in terval and finally led to Seattle and later to Snohomish.
 Mrs Dennis was we'll known in the latter city as Mrs. Patrick Buckley before her departure for Dawson last summer, supposed l ly to join her husband who went there a year earlier. While re siding in Snohomish City Buck ley engaged in the saloon busi- ness and ran a saloon there for five or six months but later sold his establishment and departed for Dawson.

JUDGE BOWLING
 ARRA|CNS ACT Z
says Iniquitous Piece of Legislation Comes From Liquor Dealers at Cincinnati - To Discuss Other
 Measures at Meeting Tonight.

The union meeting held in the Presbyterian church Sunday night as part of the Polk county campaign against the adoption of initiated act No. ?, brought together a splendid audience which completely filled the large auditorium of the church. The speaker for the occasion was Judge j. T. Bowling, and the drastic and fearless way in which he exposed the iniquities of the proposed act, was greeted with hearty approval by the audience, so that at the close of the address, the congregation i'll a body rose to it's feet as evidence of the approval and appreciation of the thorOness with which the speak CT had presented the matter. Not only did Judge Bowling discuss tine several provisions of the act, show ing what would be the baneful in fluences that would follow if per- chance the act would be adopted, but he also mercilessly flayed the sponsors for this piece of iniquitous Legislation, pointing out that funda- mentally the thing can be traced to the Wholesale Liquor Dealers AssO- citation, whose headquarters are in Cincinnati. Ohio, from whence ema- mates all the literature that is being distributed i'll favor of the proposed act. and that Ben Griffin and others. who are actively in the campaign for the adoption of the act, he charged, are directly in the employ of this association, notwithstanding the fact that MT Griffin is ready to assume the responsibility for draft ing the act. The fatal weakness in the campaign for this act, Judge Bowling pointed out is the effort to meke it appear that it is in the in- terest of the principle of local option, whereas there is not a prin- ciple of local action in the proposed act, and if the sponsors were really concerned about the principle of local option they might have pro- vided for the repeal of the state- wide law and the re-enactment of the going law. which was the acme of local option.
 Judge Bowling will deliver am other address tonight, this time speaking in the courthouse. He will discuss not only Act No. 2. but will also devote some attention to the other acts and amendments that are to he voted on at the coming elec- 1 tion.
