IN RECORDING THE COST
CONSIDER MARKET VALUES

There are two ways Of studying a
farm business. One is to determine
the profltableness OF the farm as a
whole. The other is TO determine the
profitableness OF the different enter
prises that make up the farm.
Persons who are not familiar with
the principles involved in accounting
often confuse these two. There is no
use In pretending to study the costs
CT . single enterprise IL this enter
prise Is confused with the profits and
losses OF each of the other enter
prises on the farm. II one wishes TO
do this sort OF work he should study
the farm as a whole and determine
Its labor income.
II he wishes to determine the cost
Of milk he must charge hay and grain
nj what these products are worth. Hay
and grain are finished products ready
for the market. Just as much as is
milk. II farm raised hay at a cost
of $50 . ton and II this hay Is worth

No legal or economic principle is OF
more moment than the system OF land
registration known as the Torrens
Land System, which was passed by
tho last legislature. 1t interests every
owner of property without exception.
every lawyer, every financier. who
may soon see real estate become an
asset as liquid as other factors OF
wealth upon which banks are expect
ed TO loan funds.
Eleven states besides Tennessee
have already adopted this system, and
it has proved to be Of increasing ben.
eft to the owners of property and Of
homes. Now that the Tennessee leg
islature has passed the Torrens Law,
a knowledge of the conditions sur
rounding the Torrens principle Is OF
vital interest TO every holder OF real
estate in Tennessee.
Under the old system, II one goes
to the office OF the clerk to look up
the claim OF title To a piece OF prop.
erty il is necessary for him to search
thru the pages of many books to
accomplish the task
II is much better, as in the Torrens
System. for the records for each piece
of land to be kept together so that they
can be found without delay and con.
fusion. That is the way a merchant
or business man keeps an account. Il
is all put down on a page. You don't
have to go. back over many pages in
many books, hunting for q little here
and little there to make up the &C.
count.
The Torrens System OF land regis.
tration records the transactions In
this way:
The entire record is on one page. or
on successive pages. When you wish
to trade In lands il is not necessary to
pay big sum for an abstract OF title.
You have the abstract right up to date
at all times. The new Federal Farm
Loan Banks have announced that they
would accept a TOrrens title as valid.
One may have the title written up un.
der the Torrens Law when he goes to
borrow money from a National Farm
Loan Association.
This will save much OF the addition.
al expense for changing a title to the
Torrens System OF registration.
Under the Torrens System there are
large benefits aecruing to the land
owner. BY reason OF the guarantee
OF title, the owner is protected against
adverse claims Another ADVANTAGES
is the simpliilcation OF future dealings
with the land Sale merely requires
the cancellation OF the old and issu-
anee OF q new certificate OF title. This
demands practically no time, virtual
ly no expense and eliminates the long
and legal processes involved In the
usual transfers Of land titles.-C. E.

= irst Expression of the Peace
l Without Victory" Proposal

His peace without victory" attitude
found expression on May rs, 1916, when
this dispatch came from the capital:
Washington, May 25, 1916.-President Will
son to-day made known the conditions on
which he would consent to intervene as
mediator among the belligerent nations OF
Europe. He told callers at the White House
come only after the nations at war were
ready to agree that the interests Of all were
to be conserved-in other words, that neither
side was to gain a conclusive victory.
In his mind there was shaping central
idea-a league of mankind. At the BAN
quet of the League to Enforce Peace, held
at Washington on May q, 1916, he said:
"The longer the war lasts the more deeply
do we become concerned that it should be
brought to an end and the world be permitted
to resume its normal life and course again
We are participants, whether we would or
not, in the life Of the world. What affects
mankind is inevitably our affair as we'll as
the affair Of the nations of Europe and of
Asia.
I'VE should labor for a universal associa-
ton OF the nations to maintain the inviolate
security of the highway of the seas for the
common and unhindered use of all the ma
tons of the world, and to prevent any war"
In contrast with his 'too proud to fight"
speech, delivered in the same city a year
earlier, on June 20, 1916, in Philadelphia,
President Wilson, describing himself as
sin a fighting mood" declared that Amer
lea, in dealing with other nations, must
"vindicate at whatever cost its principles
of liberty, justice and humanity" that
America first" must be translated into
action.

LIE Clings to the Theory That
! l Force Is Wrong

But in the West he still voiced some of
his earlier pacifism with enthusiasm. In
Detroit on July 10, 1916, he said
81 hear some men say that they want to
help Mexico, and the way they propose to
help her is TO overwhelm her with force.
That is the wrong way. as we'll as the long
way. After fighting them you would have a
nation full Of justified suspicion. Thus you
would not help them. You would shut every
door against you"
Force will not accomplish anything
that is permanent" said President Wilson,
addressing the members of the New York
Press Club at the Waldorf on the night of
June 80, 1916. He cited the European
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-29

Mr.. Wilson's pride in the American
peace is disclosed here:
indianapolis, Jan. s, 1915.-In his Jackson
Day speech here to-day, before the militant
Democracy of Indiana, President Wilson SAID;
what future it is, my friends! Look
abroad upon the troubled world. Only Amer
lea at peace! Among all the great powers OF
the world, only America saving her power for
her own people! Only America using her
great character and her great strength IN the
interests Of peace and Of prosperity! Do you
not think it likely that the world will some
time turn to America and say: You were
right and we were wrong. You kept your
heads when we lost ours'?"
On January Is, 1915, the President
thanked the League to Limit Armaments
for its support Of his anti-preparedness
policy. On February the Allied press
scored him numerically for sending the
Kaiser birthday congratulations.
AZ On April he intimated that it was "too
early to pronounce judgment" upon the
belligerents. Speaking at gathering of
Methodists in Washington, on March 26,
he resisted the pressure Of the war advo-
Gates and asked them not to crock the
boat"

THE President Quotes Ezekiel
l To Justify Preparedness

81 am particularly gratifed that you should
so fully concur in the position took in my
speech to the Manhattan Club. There is a
quotation from Ezekiel which | have had very
much in my mind recently in connection with
these important matters. 1t is the I'd, Sd,
4th, 9Th and 9th verses of Chapter 49,
"'Son of man, speak to the children Of my
people, and say unto them: When | bring
the sword upon land if the people Of the
land take man from among them and set
him for their Waterman:
"Tf, when he seeth the sword come upon
the land. he blow the trumpet and warn the
, people;
"'Then, whosoever heareth the sound Of
the trumpet, and taketh not warning if the
sword come, and take him away, his blood
shall be upon his own head"
Then began a series Of preparedness
speeches and the tour to convert the West
to armament following his preparedness
message to Congress on December 7, 1915,
in which he said:
eve will not maintain a standing army ex-
cept for uses which are as necessary in times
| of peace as in times of war. But we do be-
| lieve in a body of free citizens ready and
| sufficient to take care OF themselves and of
the governments which they have set up to
! serve them 1t seems to me very clear that
! it will be an advantage to adopt a compre-
! hensive plan for putting the navy upon a
! final footing of strength and efficiency and TO
press that plan to completion within the next

TOPPING the War Will Be Ended
i i By the Light of Truth"

Replying to his critics and stressing the
value Of the new Bryan treaties for arbi-
hating international differences, in an ad-
dress delivered before the Pittsburgh
Young Mems Christian Association, 0cto-
Der 25, 1914, President Wilson said:
what you have TO do is to fight, not
{ with cannon, but with right. We have just
concluded treaties of peace with a great
many nations, providing that We shall look
for the light for a year. Ny prediction lie
+ that after the light has shone on q dispute
for q year it will not be necessary to do any
thing"
This White House announcement indi-
Gates where the President originally stood
on preparedness:
Washington, Nov. 10, l9l4.-Despite the
declaration that this country is unprepared
for war, President Wilson let it be known
to-day that there would be no change in the
naval programme put forward by the Secre-
tsry Of the Navy, the original small navy
bill
The Chief Executive resisted the de-
mands Of the preparationists on Deem
Der s, 1914, in his address to Congress, as
follows:

we are incapable Of We mean to live our
own lives as We will; but we mean also 20

Mo Self-Respecting Nation Coulc
~ Longer Avoid War

This correcting" letter written by Pres.
ident Wilson to Representative Hefin, Of
Alabama, was made public on May o.
1917, at the White House. 1t was in par,
as follows:
at is incomprehensible to me how spy
frank or honest person could doubt or cues.
ton my position with regard to the war and
it's objects. | have again and again stated
the very serious and long continued wrongs
which the imperial German government has
perpetrated against the rights, the commerce
and the citizens of the United States. Ths
list is long and overwhelming. No nation
that respected itself or the rights OF human.
ity could have borne those wrongs any
longer.
There is no hate in our hearts for tho
German people, but there is a resolve which
cannot be shaken even by misrepresentation
to overcome the pretensions Of the autocratc
government which acts upon purposes to
which the German people have never con.
sented."
The text of the second explanation, in
the form of letter sent by President Wi.
son to Representative Pou on May %, 1871
is as follows:
"Your Interpretation OF my message sup.
posed would be the Interpretation everybody
would give it. / meant just what you say,
that our grievance, while entirely sufficient
, was the same as that of other neutral ma
tions, perhaps aggravated by the fact tna'
Germany has made us special promises Which
she has grossly ignored"
The Wilson attitude toward war and
peace finds elimination in his message to
the Provisional Government of Russia out.
lining American aims, made public at
Washington on June 9, 1917. These are
significant sentences on "Annexatons and
Indemnities":
"The meshes of that intrigue must be
broken, but cannot be broken unless wrongs
already done are unGone; and adequate meas
ures must be taken TO prevent it from ever
again being rewoven or repaired.
"Of course, the imperial German govern.
ment and those whom it is using for their
own undoing are seeking to obtain pledges
that the war will end in the restoration Of
the status quo ante.
at was the status quo ante out Of which
this iniqutous war issued forth, the power
of the imperial German government within
the empire and its widespread domination
and influence outside of that empire. Ihas
status must be altered in such fashion as
to prevent any such hideous thing from ever
happening again"

things would take place after it was over,
when the opinion of mankind crystallized
Getting our fighting blood up" he told
a Federation of Labor audience at Wash
ington on July 4, 1916, sis the long way,
and not the short way, to secure our
rights"
The Arabic, Appam, Anconia and Sus-
sex incidents had by this time wrought a
profound change in the popular temper.
The effect of these reactions upon the
Wilson psychology may be traced in this
series of addresses:
Shadow Lawn, Long Branch, n. j., Sept. 80,
l9l6.-President Wilson to-day, addressing
upward of $500 young men from New York
and New Jersey, said:
"There is only one choice as against peace,
and that is war. Some of the supporters Of
that party, r very great body Of the support
ers of the Republican party, outspokenly de-
clare that they want war; so that the GER
tain prospect of the success of the Republi-
can party is that we shall be drawn in one
FORM or otner into tne environments Oh lHe
European war"
indianapolis, Oct. IL, 1877 have said,
and shall say again, that when the present
great world war is over it will be the duty
of America to join with the other nations
of the world in some kind of league for the
maintenance Of peace"
The foregoing statement was made by Presi-
dent Wilson in his address at the Centennial
celebration here to-day.
Omaha, Oct 5.-Prcsident Wilson said here
to-day:
"When you are asked, Arc = you willing
to fight? reply Yes, am waiting for some
thing worth fighting for You are not look
ing about for petty quarrels, but you are
looking about for that sort of quarrel within
whose intricaces are written all the texts
of the rights of man. You are looking for
some cause which will elevate your spirit"
Cincinnati, Oct. go, 1916.-"This present
war" declared President Wilson, speaking
before the Women's City Club here to-day,
"is the last war of this or any kind involv-
ing the world that the United States can keep
out Of | believe that the business of neu-
traity is over, not because want it to be
over, but war now has such a scale that the
position Of neutrals becomes intolerabe."
