SETTLING ACCOUNTS.

People Are Now Paying UP at Shorter
Intervals Than Formerly.
Business men are agreed that q very
noticeable change has come about in
the past FIVE years in the matter of
pairing accounts. While that length of
sime ego yearly settlements were the
rule, settlements at much shorter peri
DDS are now getting to be the fashion.
Just what has brought this about Is
hard to say. Possibly there are a mum
Der of things which have worked to.
gether to bring about this good result.
OF course, years ago, before this III
try began raising stock, there was but
about one time in each year when II
farmer had any money. Consequently
no one else had any except at that
time. Now, with creameries paying off
every two weeks and with live stock
marketed any time during the year,
money flows far more evenly.
Then, too, banks are coming to be
far more generally used than before,
which accounts for an evener flow of
money. The farmer borrows money to
tide him over till he sells something

long as he formerly did.
A number of younger men have gone
Into various businesses of late yearS.
most of them without sufficient capital
to enable them to carry accounts long
They were therefore compelled to make
frequent collections. and that might be
said to have started the hahit of pay
ING I'M all around.
Automobiles, which are alternately
blamed and credited for almost every
thing, may be said to have had some
thing to do with the matter of credits.
Automobile accessories run into money
very fast, and garages, being OF com
paratively modern creation, started
out at once to keep book accounts
down. The motorist, therefore, was
educated ut the start to pay up his
garage bill frequently. This helped
along other lines of business as well.
Many lines of business make month
ly collections the rule, and it is admit
tea by every one to be the best plan all
around.-Osage Qa.) Press-J ournal.

A GRAIN
OF f

American mothers may be able to
derive some grain of comfort from the
following statistics, which have been
carefully compiled from authoritative
sources:
Fifteen men out of every sixteen in
the Allied armies have been safe
through the three years of fighting.
During the past "A not more than
one man in thirty has been killed. The
death rate from disease is less than
In peace times. Only one man in 800
loses a limb-a chance no greater than
that in hazardous occupations at home.
The impression is current in America
tina the present wal is so destructive
of human life that the drafting of an
American youth means his probable If
manning. Statements have even been
published that half the men who go
into the trenches never come out alive I;
that an Allied officer at the front has
only so many days to live. The i'm
preston is false and the statements
are lies.
As a matter of fact, the death rate
in he allied armies on the western
European front is only about three
times that among men of the same age
in civil life. Half of theo casualties
during the three years of the war &C.
CURED during the first year Taking
the average of the three years and con-
sidering a man in the war for one year,
he has fifteen chances of returning
home to one of being killed. But dur
ing the past year casualties have been
80 reduced that now not more than II
man in thirty or forty is being killed.
There is no reason to believe that the
American soldiers will not profit by
the experience of the Allies, IL be
able to keep their casualty rate as low
as that of the armies now in the
trenches.

Men have Travelled safely, If not al
ways placidly, throughout Europe with
no other language than English at
their command, but few have been so
lucky as a correspondent Of a New
York paper whose English was actual
ly taken for French by the French
themselves.
While he spoke no language other
than English, this gentleman had new
er had any trouble in travelling in Eu-
rope. In the only instance when he
greatly longed to be able to speak an
other language he was helped out Of
@ ~predicament in a most unexpected
way. At a railway station in Paris
he could not make the porters under.

Finally he exclaimed:
"Oh, b'gosh!"
One of the porters replied, "Oui, ban
gazh, oui, oui, bah-gazh," and he soon
produced the Americans trunk. That
was the first time he knew that the
French have the word baggage and
learned how they pronounce it.

ESTIMATED WHEAT
REQUIREMENTS.

In Department of Agriculture Circu-
of Al, 1887. 900 acres to winter wheat,
and 5,131, 900 acres to rye this fall, is
given the following statement regard
ing the estimated requirements of the
United States and the allied and neu-
trail countries of Europe for 1918:
To supply the estimated needs of the
United States, of the Allies, and in
part of the neutral countries of Eu-
rope next year, it would be necessary
to plant in the United States for 1918
about 4S.7 million acres of winter
wheat, 10 million acres Of spring
wheat, 90 million acres of rye, 10 mil
lion acres of barley, 49, million acres
of oats, and ills million acres of corn.
Compared with the ten-year average,
the proposed acreages represent in
creases of 43 per cent for winter wheat,
. per cent spring wheat, 20 per cent
all wheat, 124 per cent rye, Z per cent
barley, % per cent oats, and Z per cent
corn, or a total increase of % per cent
over the ten-year average of these &C.
reals combined.
Compared with 1917, these acreages
represent increases of % per cent for
winter wheat, 10 per cent for all
wheat, 81 per cent for rye, and . per
cent for oats, and decreases of 6 per
cent for barley and of s per cent for
corn, or u net increase of 4.5 per cent
over the total 1917 acreage of these
cereals combined.
With the food requirements of the
United States and the allied and neu-
trail countries of Europe for next year
in mind, the question of the acreage
which it is advisable and practicable
to plant demands serious thought.
