The barley crop last year amounted

Mr.. President, when we find this
enormous shortage existing In the year
1915, when we find that the total
amount of these crops Is SO much less
than in 1915, you may know that we
. can not have great quantity In

was not a shortage. 1t would be got

Avoid Worry in This Way.

In whatever way the. farmer
gets a set of accounts properly
arranged, he must remember the
vital Importance of Keeping"
them regularly.
Regularly kept books are ready
for reference at all times. The
accounts tell the position on the
ladder of success at any particu-
lar Moment.
Those who keep accounts find
their regular keeping a source OF
mental ease. Worry is avoided
when one keeps a statement OF
his affairs in such a way as to be
able to know his own actual tin-
ancial position.

The movement for a New
State Constitution was defeated
last year by a small majority,

the voters of the state on July %.
The new law provides for equal
and fair representation, in fact
every County in the State, how
ever small, will have at least one
delegate in the Constitutional
Convention.
