Bookkee ping Answers Questions About
fh Farming Operation.

Banke and business men are more
readily IMPOSED to make advances
to farm ho keep some records Of
their ia operations; but the far
mers sa too much trouble, il
doesn't pal and that there's nothing
at the end Of the year anyway, so
what's the Ause of keeping books
about it?
The average farmer is right about
the bookkeepi&g business, but his rea,
son for his p$sition is wrong. Book
keeping is such record of his bust.
ness as WIN answer all reasonable
questions about the business and do
it quickly. The average farmer has
few questions about his farming.
therefore he has no need for book.
keeping. 1t is the farmer with aues-
lions to ask who will find bookkeep-
ing interesting and indispensable. His
system Of books will depend upon the
questions he wishes to answer. He
may wish to know any OF the follow
Ing things:
Gain or loss for the year.
Cost Of raising a horse.
How much it cost him per pound To
produce pork.
How much a days work by a mule
or horse costs the farm.
How much per bushel it costs to
produce corn, potatoes and oats.
The relative values of the individ.
uals OF a flock or herd.
The expense Of marketing.
Gains or losses on particular crops.
The answer to any questions must
be provided for in the system OF book
keeping.
Now, If any farmer in Louisiana
wants a system of books to answer
some questions on his own farming.
we will give our services free in ad
vising him what system to employ.
All he has to do is to write us fully
on the point in question.-R. l.

German Nation Is

~ Amy Eventually

Berlin. Wednesday Feb 2S, via LonI
don. March l.. = All outward signs
indicate tina tthe German nation is
reconciled completely to any eventual
ity growing out of the loss of Ameri-
can lives through the sinking of the
steamship Laconia. There has Just
been received here a brief dispatch
from Washington to the effect that
the United States government regards
the torpedoing of the liner as an overt
act. There are no indications, how
ever. of any departure from Germany's
resolve to carry on submarine war
fare unretarded.
The remarks of Chancellor Won
Hollweg on this subject, in
his address to the Reichstag yesterday,
have met with general support. The
submarine campaign is inspiring great
enthusiasm and is regarded as the
agency as capable of forcing the war
to a conclusion in Germany's favor

BERLIN ADMITS
WITHDRAWALON
SOMME FRONT
Bapaume to Be Abandoned
Under British Pressure
Is Indication

Berlin to-day made Its expected an
nouncement on the Somme front re-
hrement. 1t goes into no details as to
Tho ground evacuated, referring to this
merely as "a part of our advanced
positions" on both sides of the Acre.
The move was made several days ago,
It Is declared, and remained concealed
from the British, upon whom con.
siderable losses were inflicted by the
German rear guards as they fell back,
according to orders, The defense, 1t
Is stated, has been transferred to an
pther prepared line,
The German war office also reports
The repulse of two British attacks just
south of the evacuated ground. one
near lie Transloy and the other near
Sally, The British appear to have
penetrated the German positions in
the latter case and to have established
themselves in what Berlin alludes to
hs ''rifiemen's nests'' of local import
Rnce only,
Retreat on Belgian Front
According to Paris dispatches the
great retrograde movement of the
Germans on the Franco Belgian front
continues, Apparently even the strong
hold of Bapaume for months the main
objective of the British operations on
the somme front, Is to be abandoned,
lf indeed 1t has not already been
evacuated.
Paris military circles report infor-
nation the fall of Baupaume is i'm
minent the Germans having already
fallen back behind the town. Dis
patches from the front by way of Lon
don lent color to the reports. The
Germans appear to have been prepar-
Ing for evacuation and were said to
have blown up the famous clock tower
there.
The new German line, according to
French information runs behind Bau-
paume and thence southwark along
tho Baupaume line. This would APP
proximate the present line from LIE
Transloy, three and half miles south
of Baupaume, southwark to Peronne.
Turks Still Rctrcating
Northwest of Kut- ell -Amara, on the
Tigris. the British still have the Turks
in full retreat, accordin gto the latest
official advices received in London.
The pursuit was previously reported to
have reached point more than 80
miles northwest of Kut and the ad-
ditional advices announce it as con-
tinuing. More prisoners and material
have been captured.
The American merchant steamer
Rochester from New York to Bordeaux
arrived safely in French waters.
Another German air raid on Eng
land has been carried out. A single
airplane was the raiding medium. 1t
bombarded Broadstairs, on the island
of Thanet. The British official report
says one woman was injured.
Teutonic submarine operations have
resulted in the sinking of four more
vessels, aggregating S,796 tons.
