WATCH YOUR MONEY
Keep Books and Find Weak Spots
in Business

These high prices in the neces-
saries of life have caused more
care to be taken in looking after
the cost in production. Where
will your money go in 1917" is a
very important question for every
business man and farmer to ask.
G. E. Alfred, of the Division of
Extension, University of Tennes-
see, calls the farmers attention to
this question in the following very
apt way;
AT the first of the year is a
period of new resolutions. To re-
solve to keep farm accounts would
be a good resolution for nearly all
farmers in Tennessee.
If you sell bale of cotton for
$75 or a bushel Of corn at 80 cents,
do you sell at gain or at a loss?
Most farmers can only guess at the
answer. The guess may be right
in this case, and wrong in many
other cases.
Is your business better than it
was last year, or the year before,
or five years ago?
These are just a few of the
things that farmer ought to try
to find out just as earnestly as a
merchant or banker tries to find
out similar things in his business.
Keep accounts. The thing to do
is to keep a careful record of every
sale and every expense. At the end
of the year, after deducting ex-
penses, plus interest on the invest
ment, one will have left the farm
labor income, which is generally
taken as an indication of a mans
or failure.
Keep accounts during 1917.
The result will probably open your
eyes and lead You to a better all
round business farmer another
year
If interested, write the Divis-
ion of Extension for an inventory
blank and assistance with the &C

in your business.

WORLD PEACE LEAGUE
President Wilson Makes Speech
to Members of Senate

Whether the United States shall
enter a world peace league, and, as
many contend, thereby abandon
its traditional policy of isolation
and no entangling alliances, was
laid squarely before congress and
the country Monday by President
Wilson in personal address to
the senate.
For the first time in more than
a hundred years a president of the
United States appeared in the SEN
ate chamber to discuss the nations
foreign relations after the manner
of Washington, Adams and Madi-
son. The effect was to leave con-
gress, all official quarters and the
foreign diplomats amazed and be-
wildered. Immediately there arose
sharp division of opinion over
the propriety as we'll as the sub
stance of the presidents proposal.
Startling" staggering as
tonishing," the noblest utterance
that has fallen from human lips
since the Declaration of Independ-
ence,'' were among the expressions
of senator's. The president him
self, after his address, said: Il
have said what everybody has been
longing for, but has thought i'm
possible. Now it appears to be
possible.
The chief points of the presi-
dents address we're:
That a lasting peace in Europe
cannot be peace of victory for
either side.
That peace must be followed by
a definite concert of power to as
sure the world that no catastrophe
of war shall overwhelm it again.
That in such a concert of power
the United States cannot withhold
it's participation to guarantee peace
and justice throughout the world.
And that before peace is made
the United States government
should frankly formulate the con-
ditions upon which it would feel
justified in asking the American
people for their formal and solemn
adherence.

Homes Wanted

The Tennessee Children's Home
Society located in Nashville, Tenn. f,
has quite a number of boys and
girls, ranging in age from seven
years old down to little babies.
These are fine little fellows, not
hungry for food nor destitute for
clothes, but are starving for pa
rental love.
If you had no one in your home
last Christmas who did not believe
in real Santa Claus, you missed
a lot of fun. Perhaps you are only
thinking of the care and response
bility, doubtless you have not
thought Of the Joy and comfort
one of these little ones would con-
tribute to the happiness Of your
home. How about taking twins?
We have two sets of twins here
and if you are willing to share
your home with one of these little
ones you may write to Mr.. B. G.,

RYE signs BILLS
Clubs. BOotleggers and Dealers
Are Hard Hit

Governor Rye Monday afternoon
signed House Bill No. |, known as
the wholesaler and bootlegger
act;" House Bill No. 2, known as
the "antilocker club act" and a
House bill making a conviction
for bootlegging a felony, thus max
ing four of the new prohibition
bills laws of the State of Tennessee.
. Last Friday the governor signed
House Bill No. 3, preventing the
soliciting of orders for whisky ,
which rounds out a quartette of
measures which it is believed will
make Tennessee prohibition state
in fact as we'll as in name.
To follow these four measures
will come the bill complying with
the Webb-Kenyon law and which
is known as the ''bone-dry" bill, in
that it prohibits ordering or re-
ceiving whisky by any person in
Tennessee in any amount. This
bill is following the regular course
in the two houses and will no doubt
soon become a law, which will give
Tennessee five laws to effectively
prevent the possession, use Of, sale
or giving away in the state Of in

came for the worse and by 9o'clock
he was dead.

PROSPERITY IN CARROLL
Banks Have More Than in His
tory of County Before

The ten banks in Carroll county,
in submitting to the state bank sup
erintendent their financial condition
January 6, 1917, disclosed the fact
that the banks of the county have
more money on hand now than per-
haps at any time of their history.
1t also shows that the people OF
the county are in good condition.
There are no doubt more farmers
with bank accounts than ever be-
fore.
The reports published last week
and this week, show that there is
on deposit in the ten banks the to-
tai of $l,0S2,836.64. This is an
increase over anything ever re-
ported before. 1t is q record
breaking report. The banks of
the county are all in good condi-
ton, and indicate a similar condi-
ton among our business men and
farmers.
The ten banks referred to and
their deposits are as follows: Bank
of Huntingdon, 1924, O11.26; Far
mers State Bank, Huntingdon, $780,
004. 80; Bank of Hollow Rock,
$65, 1888; Atwood Banking Com
pany, $81,l78I0; Farmers and
Merchants Bank, Irrelevant, $50,
sos So; Citizens State Bank, Nc
Kenzie, $4,000 90; Bank of Nc
Kenzie, $284,670 90; Bank of Nc
Lemoresville, $36, 1921; Cotton
Growers Bank, Yuma, $24, 967, 38;
Peoples Bank, Irrelevant, $780,
100000. Total, $l,0S2, 836.64.
This big deposit the largest in
the history of the county indi-
Gates a prosperous condition among
our people. The farmers have just
marketed an exceedingly large cot
ton crop, for which they received
the highest price receivedSince war
prices prevailed. All other agri-
cultural products sold high, in
fact, everything the farmer had to
sell, commanded a big price. 1t
looks also like the farmers are
spending their money at home, in
stead of sending it out of the
county.

sacred trust which | am about to

fidence and approval not fully

Conscious of my utter inability

the trust committed to my keeping
without divine assistance and, hum

for the needed and necessary help
in the proper discharge of the Of

GRADE SCHOOL NEWS

Glenwood Springs seems to be an
island of health entirely surrounded by
measles. Epidemics sufficient to cause
the closing of schools have been or are
now prevalent in New Castle, Sunlight,
Red Cliff, Mesa and mony other neigh
boring communities. Few people real
ize that measles sometimes prove fatal,
and that the state board Of health re-
quires that all cases must be reported.
There have been three or four cases
of measles brought to Glenwood this
winter, but due to careful quarantine
regulations, an epidemic has been pre-
vented to date. However, one case of
carelessness may expose the whole
community. School authorities will
prosecute cases that come to their
knowledge of parents, physicians, or
others having charge of children with
measles who do not report to the
proper officials promptly. The regula-
tions of the state board of health require
that measles must be quarantined, but
adults may come to and from home in
case they do not come in contact or in
the same room with the patient. A
heavy penalty is provided for violation
of any rule of the state board Of
health.
The eighth grade pupils are en-
crossed in great effort to prepare to
equal the splendid marks made by last
