KEEP CASH RECORDS IN FORM
OF DIARY

A record Of the cash received and
paid out Is made by many farmers but
all the value so be- derived from such
records are seldom realized The most
important use made OF them ia most
eases is ~ mrans of checking up
bills The realization Of even this small
part of their full value sometimes
makes sach records veil worth while
There Ii 40 reason why every farmer
should not have such check eu his
business dealings. aud losses eau often
hc avoided by proving credits that
have been overlooked by some dealer
Perhaps the simplest and most inter
estlug way ~ keeping the cash account
n In the form Of a diary Part Of the
page may be- used Ia record the daily
happenings and the other part for the

are various stackers on the market
which work very satisfactorily, and
there are many homemade stacking
devices in successful use
The Haying Crew. 1t is highly i'm
portant that the haying crew be large
enough to do effective work. In many
instances it is difficult to hire enough
extra labor to handle the hay crop to
the best advantage. In such cases II
is often advantageous to have good
equipment which requires several
men, and exchange labor with one or
more of the neighboring farms. With
good equipment and full crew, the
hay on two farms can generally be
handled in less time than that of a
single farm with smaller crew and
with less effective machinery.
The Advantages of Planning
This year, the advantage in having
carefully laid plans for keeping the
farm work I'M to the season is more
important than ever. The use of i'm
proved machinery of the most effec-
tive size of crew will go far toward
relieving any difficult labor situation
confronting corn-belt farmers during
the next few weeks.

be kept at home but deposited in the

the war. This will help the Govern
ment and the country by preventing
a serious depressio nof the value of

bondholder who sells except for the
reason of absolute necessity is as
much a deserter as the soldier who

EMPORIA WON THE WAR
(EmperOia Gazettel

(EmperOla GaZette)
Not long ago an Emporia man was
in New York trying to see a good
show. He had paid his money and
was ready for the second act, when
out pops an actor and begins spelling
on the liberty loan. Emporia had
gone over the top and doubled her
quota two weeks before. The actor
made the Emperoia man tired. He
listened for while, then rose in his
seat and asked permission to submit
few sinsible remarks. 81 come" he
said. from Kansas, the land of sun
flowers and cyclone, where the Con-
gressmen used to go barefoot, and
men voted to keep us out of war and
we are supposed to be hard up and
unpatriotic. But want to hear this
show. We've doubled our quota in
our town and have forgotten all about
it, But to boost this thing along and
hear this show I'll take thousand"
Then he sat down.
Another man got up in another part
of the house and said "Im from
Abilene, Kan, and want to hear this
show. | didn't come for oratory and
I'll stick in thousand" A Tennessee
man rose and put up a thousand. And
by that time New York, being primed,
was splitting her money freely.
But at the end of the next act the
orator came out again, and the two
Kansas men gave the thing another
$3.50 boost each to reach the quota for
the house that night, and as they
stood together comparing Kansas
notes, the New York audience cheered
them. This is a true story, showing
how keen a Kansas man is for a good
show when he gets to New York.

INSPIRATION TO BUILDERS OF
SHIPS IS GIVEN IN ADDRESS by
CLEVELAND DIVINE

New York-No one listened more
attentatively to the address which was
delivered by DR.. c. A. Eaton, the dis
tinguished clergyman of Cleveland,
Ohio, in this city some weeks ago than
did the Secretary of the Navy, jose
phus Daniels. Others of the Admin
istration of President Wilson heard
the address land shared with Secre-
tary Daniels the enthusiasm when
was occasioned by the eloquence and
earnestness of DR.. Eaton.
There seemed to be spontaneous
recognition of the value to the Gov
eminent which would be secured
through service which could be given
by DR.. Easton and he was practically
Communicated into Government serv-
ice. The United States Shipping Board
and the Emergency Fleet Corporation
we're the instrumentalities through
which DR.. Eaton's services were Sc
cured.
He was allowed to do as he pleased,
His proposition that national service
section be organized was cordially ac-
cepted. and DR.. Eaton was named as
the chief executive. The principal
service upon which he was immedi-
ately engaged involved the visiting OF
various shipyards and the making oil
addresses to the ship workers.
These addresses inspired the work
ers everywhere, and the feeling thus
stimulated explains in part the speed
ing up of ship building throughout the
United States.
DR.. Eaton felt that it was essential
that service of this kind be supple
mented by like service in the indus
trial plants, especially those when
are occupied in manufacturing mater
ial such as boilers, engines and other
machinery which are to be installed
in ships as soon as they are ready to
receive equipment of this kind. There
fore. Frederick F. Soaring was named
as the representative of the National
Service Section, with instruction to
visit various industrial plants in the
West and to address the wage earners.
Mr.. Soaring returned this morning
to New York and was able to give
highly gratifying and inspiring news
respecting his experience in the in
dustrial plants in the West.
Milwaukee is the chief center OF in
dustrial activities which are produc-
ing steam engines, pumps and other
apparatus needed for the ships, but
Milwaukee has been presumed to be
strongly pro-German city, and GER
tainly Socialist Mr.. Stearing's en-
perience in Milwaukee dlsproves that
prevailing impression.
The manufacturers of Milwaukee
who welcomed him, nevertheless
smoke at first somewhat doubtful
about this reception. They knew that
many of their wage earners we're OF
German birth or of Geramn descent
and that many of them have adopted
the principles of Socialism. Mr.. Scar
ing said to these manufacturers that
he did not want to be introduced to
the men in any other way than as a

G A. Workers
~ Under Fire

On the night when the drive startAd men
serving the American batteries of artillery
were supplied with hot coffee by Salvation
Army workers. At B. Captain James
bovill and Envoy Foster operated an s. A.
dugout few hundred yards back of our
front line trenches. Not only did they
carry hot chocolate back to the battery no.
sitions during the height Of the barraee.
but also gallons of it to the men waiting in
the reserve trenches for orders to 90 over
the top.
They would have carried another supply
to the front line trench where the men were
standing, too, but military officers forbade
their going up any further after the bar
rage had started. At 8 a. m. thew carried
a second supply to the battery positions.
"Good!" shouted one gunner as thew filled
up his mess cup with steaming coffee. "That
is all wanted. I can keep going until
morning now" They went back with more
coffee for the men in the support trenches.
AS they were emerging from communica-
ton trench the signal for the advance fared
into the sky, and they heard the great
shout of the men smashing through the
enemy's defences in an irresistible wave.
