KEEPING FARM ACCOUNTS
Is A LOYAL ACT TODAY
War Experience Shows Benefit to Ma
tion of an Accurate Record Of
Business Facts.

People interested in accounting the
world over have reason to be proud
of the part accounting has played on
the great werld 'erisis-a part destined
to be even greater in the grim days
that lie ahead, inasmuch as our coun-
try has now definitely entered the
struggle in defense of democratic in.
stitutions.
How the cost of shells to the Brit
ish Government was reduced rs per
cent to 80 per cent is a story Of deep
interest to the American nation. When
Mr. Samuel H. Lever assumed his du.
ties as Minister OF Munitions, one Of
the first things he did was to inquire
about the price paid for shells. He
says, 1T rather developed that the
prices being paid were what had been
paid before, and"that no Information
was in the Department making the
contracts as to the actual cost-as to
what value you were getting for what
you were paying"
He set to work, with the aid of ac'
countants, to determine the cost Of the
various shells. The big. armament
firms were then confronted with these
costs, with the result that the price of
shells was Immediately cut down Is
per cent to 80 per cent.
Next, the Government shell factories
were the subject of investigation by Mr.
Lever. Quoting again from, his state
ments: "In order that we might see
just. exactly what these factories were
doing we instituted q cost system in
each of these factories by which we
get the cost OF each she'll"
AS a reward for his splendid work oi
efficiency, Mr.. Lever had been knight
ed by the English Government. 1t is
the duty of.every American farmer tc
make his business just as efficient q
business as possible. There is no way
in which he~can assist his country
more. Accounting specialists at the

The pictures tell story. Some cows
have good udders, udders that yield
large quantities of milk. Others have
bad udders, udders that reduce the
market value of the cow. Keep the
cow with the good udder, che COW that
produces much milk. Udder ta) is a
good one; all of the others have de-
fects that you will easily recognize.
After the selection of the COW by the
udder, look to the milk pail and see
whether she is the good cow she seems
to be. Looks are sometimes deceiving,
even in the udders of cows. Keep the
cows that produce such milk.

Willard Trains. for Return to Fighting Game

Chicago, Dec. 24-That Jess Will lard, worlds heavyweight champion boxer, has been in light training for more than a fortnight in anticipation of a bout with Fred Fulton or some other heavyweight for the benefit of the Red Cross, became known here last night. The champion, in dis cussing reports that he had retired both from the circus business and from the ring, declared he had no intention of quitting the boxing game as yet, and pointed to the fact that he has been in training for more than two weeks as convincing proof he in- tends to resume boxing just as soon as conditions permit.
 Willard declared that even while with the circus he took good care not to go stale, and if Fulton, who is eager to draw the champion into the ring before spring, thinks he will catch Jess off his guard, according to the champion, Fred will be very much mistaken.
 Yesterday Willard, to convince his friends that he is keeping in condi- tion, went to the Arcade Gymnasium and shadow boxed three one minute rounds. Walter Monohan, his sparring partner, who appeared with Willard when he was on the stage in New York city after his defeat of Jack Johnson, went into the ring with Will lard yesterday. Although Jess show ed he is far beyond his best fighting weight he declared two months real work would put him in trim for a 20 round bout with any of the present crop of heavies.
 Don't get scared about my risking my title,' said Willard to friends, flor Pm willing to fight to decision even if the bout is limited to 10 rounds" The champion called attention to the fact that when he arrived in the mid dle West in the hope of meeting Fulton, Fred was nowhere to be found. Willard has received an of fer from several New York sportsmen to purchase his circus. The syndi- cate is headed by theatrical men who are represented in the deal by Joe and Hugh Leblang
