FARM ACCOUNTS

Farm records sheIld to some degree
form a part Of every farm business.
The particular method of keeping them
is no important so long as the &C.
give the desired information.
The great majority of farmers do not
need elaborate accounts. as the size
and limitations of their business will
not justify the work. On the other
hand, a memorandum of important
transactions of the farm will prove to
be extremely useful. At times it may
save money and trouble. A large mum.

FOUR men KILLED
IN P. R. R. WRECK
Foodstuffs Rushed Eastward
Also Destroyed.
A DISASTROUS COLLISION
Seventeen Racehorses On Their Way
To New York Lost In the
Wreckaqe-Victims Burned
Beyond Recognition.

Bristol, Pa.-Four men lost their
lives, three being burned to death;
three were injured, II horses killed,
nine cars burned and 3O-odd cars, both
express and freight loaded with per
ishable food being rushed to relieve
the famine of food in cities were de-
stroyed in the worst wreck that ever
occurred on the New York Division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The wreck was a mile and half
east of here early Sunday. The killed
are: William King, Wilmington, Del,
fireman of the engine on the express
train; Thomas Uong Tom) Burrish
and Harry Dunlap, of Williamsport,
horsemen in the express car.
The injured are w. T. Hulihan, OF
Williamsport; Thomas Bank, of Tren-
ton, and Patrick Hoyes, engineer OF
the express train.
Soon after o'clock a freight train
westbound was halted by one of the
cars having broken axle. At 2.45
a special Adams express bound from
Philadelphia to New York crashed into
the freight car with the broken axle
as it fell over on to track No. in
front of the express going east. The
heavy express jammed up and the
engine was thrown across the four
main tracks and car after car piled up
in heap. The wreckage caught fire
and soon the entire mass was ablaze.
Bristol firemen were summoned,
and with the four companies of the
department responding, fought the
flames for 10 hours Behind the engine
of the Adams Express special was
car filled with six horses, all racers
charge of w. T.. Hulihan and con-
signed to H. H. Wilson, Madison
Square Garden, New York City, where
they were to be exhibited and offered
for sale on Tuesday. In this car be-
side the six horses were Thomas Bur
riss, Harry Dunlap and Long Tom,
which is the only name known to W.
T. Hulihan, the only survivor of the
four men in charge of the horses.
Hulihan says the horses killed We're
valued at 81, 900. Included in the lost
animals are Capt. R. A. Green, horse
owned by himself, and Little Jewel
and Bell Chord, with records of 1914
and 171a, respectively.
The four men killed We're crushed
and burned beyond recognition. Car
loads of fruit, food supplies and cloth
ing were spilled over the rails for
distance of hundreds Of yards. Sew
eral carloads of print paper were de-
stroyed.
The wreck was looted of l,Othing
and what food could be carried away.
Men pulled suits of underwear from
the cars, and with these tucked be-
meath their coats ran to their homes.
The firemen picked eggs cooked by
the blaze from the cars, and, breaking
The shells, ate them while manning
the hose
The loss is estimated at $175,000.

RESERVE ARMY OF
100000 men
General Staff's Universal Ser
vice Bill in Senate.
ANNUAL COST $472,258, TAG
The Scheme Would Enroll About
100000 Youths 10 Years Old,
Mentally and Physically Fit,
With No Dependent Parents.

Washington. - The Army General
Staff Universal Service Bill was trans
mitted to the Senate Military Commit
tee by Secretary Baker without DELI
mite expression by the administration
either on the general subject or the
special proposal.
The Secretary said it was not
thought that Congress could give SO
intricate a problem consideration in
the closing days of this session, but
suggested that wide publicity be given
the staff plan Ito the end that both
Congress and the War Department
can, in any subsequent consideration
given to the subject, have the beneht
of an enlightened, thoughtful public
opinion upon the needs and wishes Of
the country"
CAS- yet" the letter of transmittal
continues, Il am not prepared to say
officially for the War Department that
the need of the country can reasonably
be said to be for so great an establish
ment nor can we yet, without further
study and elaboration, be confident
that the means suggested are the most
appropriate to the need which it shall
be determined wise to foresee."
Force OF 100000 Men.
In round numbers the staff plan
would supply trained force of 4,00O,-
900 men, with one year of intensive
military instruction. 1t is estimated
by the War College that approximate
ly 100000 boys in their nineteenth
year would be available for training
annually. They would, under the plan,
be liable to call to the colors until 80
years of age, passing after the first
II months of their training to the first
reserve for the next four years and
one month, then into the second re-
serve and finally into the unorganized
reserve, until they reached the age
of As.
The purpose of the bill is to con-
stitute the first reserve as fully or
ganized and equipped fighting force
with a strength of 100000 ready to
respond instantly to call to arms.
The second reserve, of equal size, but
only partially equipped, would require
some time to take the field. Eventual
ly there would be 100000 additional
trained men ready to fill in gaps at
the front.
In addition to these forces there
would be a regular army, composed
of men choosing military life as pro
fession, of 24,400 officers and 285,886
enlisted men. Of these $4,000 would
form the oversee forces and $4,000 the
frontier forces, the remainder compos-
ing the permanent training persoAnel
which could take care of the instruc-
ton of from 1886 to 654,292 reserve
recruits annually. If the proportion
of available men for training was
greater than the figure given the per
manent training force would have to
be proportionately increased.

HOLLAND MAY BREAK SOON.
Torpedoine OF Seven Ships Valued At
Millions Is Reason.

Washington-Th tremendous de-
struction of Dutch shipping during the
past few days is regarded here as the
most acute phase of the international
situation.
1t is regarded even as bringing
nearer the probability of break in
diplomatic relations between the
Netherlands and Germany. So far,
Holland has only made protests
against destruction of her neutral
ships by German submarines, but the
recent startling operations are expect
ed to arouse wave of popular in
dignation in the Netherlands which
that Government may find difficult to
withstand, even should it desire to
do so.
The situation for Holland in rela-
ton to Germany as it is observed from
Washington is growing more and more
difficult officials and diplomats here
will be surprised if the Government
does not take some action.

WOMEN PEEVED
OVER INAUGURAL
Decline to March in Parade in
Washington.
FLOATS. CAUSE THE DISPUTE
Robert N. Harper Denies Authority OF
Mrs. James H. Boggs, Head Of the
Women's Wilson Union To
Call Off Participation.

Washington.-A controversy over
what part women shall take in the
Inauguration ceremonies came to a
head here with an announcement by
Mrs. James H. Boggs, president of the
Women's Wilson Union, and mem
Der of the inaugural committee, that
because of a ruling barring from the
floats being organized under her di-
rection, she had declared, "the with
drawal of all women from the parade. d"
Robert N. Harper, chairman of the
committee, replied to the announce
ment with the statement that Mrs.
withdrawal. He said women were
wanted in the parade, and that the
state floats had been barred only be-
cause the plans for them were in so
uncertain a stage that he feared they
could not be completed in time to con-
form to the committees standards.
The decision to withdraw, Mrs.
Boggs declared, had the endorsement
of the executive board of the Wilson
Union, including the wives of many
senators and representatives and
other public officials, and would re-
ceive the backing also of millions of
women throughout the country. Her
announcement, issued as chairman of
the women's division of the inaugural
committee said:
Women Withdraw.
1.-THE chairman of the women's divi-
sion of the inaugural committee an
nounces the withdrawal of all women
from the parade, which will take place
on March 5.
This decision was reached after it
became known that Chairman Harper
had arbitrarily ruled that state floats
and automobile representations which
had been planned for and financed by
prominent men and women of the
various states, would not be allowed
in the line of parade"
Although she would not add to this
statement, Mrs. Boggs indicated clear
ly that it only .feebly expressed her
Indignation over the incident and that
the women of the Union might have
something more to say on the subject
later. Mr.. Harper declared there
never had been such an organization
as a woman's division of the inaugural
committee and intimated that he
would take no further notice of Mrs.
Boggs' announcement.
mo one except Major General
Scott, who is grand marshal, and my
self has authority to say who shall or
shall not take part in the parade"
said Mr.. Harper. 1--WE want women
to participate, provided only they con-
form to the same requirements that
are laid down for the men"

BONE Dry BILL
PASSES HOUSE
fourteen States Are Affected BY
Drastic Legislation.
LIQUOR ADS ALSO BARRED
Fine Or Imprisonment Provided For
Violations Of the LaW-Action OF
the House On Measure Is
Almost Overwhelming.

Washington.-Th Senate bone dry
amendment to the postal bill prohibit
ing shipments of liquor into States
which have prohibition laws, was &C.
cepted by the House, 321 to IL. IL
is accounted one of the most far-reach-
ing prohibition measures in years be-
cause it will make absolutely dry
States which now permit shipments in
limited quantities.
Every effort to change the amend
ment was defeated overwhelmingly.
Cries of Bone Dry!" rang throughout
the House and the sentiment swept the
House until the last vote for concur
renee was cast.
The amendment is comparably the
most far-reaching prohibition leglsla-
ton ever approved by either house OF
Congress, would raise an absolute bar
rier against the shipment of liquor into
IS States where it can be imported
legally now and where millions OF dol
lars worth is consumed annually. 1t
would add to the bone dry territory
about one-third of continental United
States.
Fourteen States Affected.
Of the % States which will be pro-
hibition territory on July 1, when the
amendment would be effective, only 8
have forbidden importation of intox-
icants for personal use. The IA around
which the provision would erect non
importation barrier are: Alabama,
Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Mis-
sissippi, Nebraska, North Dakota,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Caro-
lima, South Dakota, Virginia and West
Virginia. Most of these have set no
limitation on the amount that can be
brought in for individual use, but in
several cases the amendment would
nuIlify directly State statutes express
ly permitting Importation of stipu-
lated amounts per capita.
In addition, Michigan, Montana and
Indiana have enacted prohibition laws
which will put them into the prohib-
ition column, subject to the provisions
of the Reed amendment.
Inc amendment lldIhS virtually lnS
only step ever taken by the Federal
Government aside from the internal
revenue laws to extend it's control over
the liquor traffic throughout the States.
1t is the only important Federal legis-
lation affecting liquor shipments, ex-
cepting the Webb-Kenyon law, which
merely gave Federal force to State reg
ulations by providing that no liquor
shall be imported into States which
forbid its Importation.
whoever shall order, purchase or
cause intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce." the
amendment stipulates, Except for sci
entific, medicinal or mechanical pur-
poses, into any State or Territory pro-
hibiting the manufacture or sale there
in of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes, shall be punished by fine of
not more than $1,000 or Imprisonment
for not more than six months or both,
and for any subsequent offense shall
be imprisoned not more than one year."
1t also is provided that no news
paper or other publication or letter
containing liquor advertising shall be
carried in the mails in States that
prohibit such advertising.
