HOW TO KEEP FARM ACCOUNTS

Farm accounts are necessary as O
basis for planning business opera
tons, to determine costs of produc-
ton, to secure the most advantageous
loan, and to make correct income
tax report. The recent income tax
law has made farm accounting neces-
sary on most farms. This require
ment, however, should be welcomed by
the farmers, since it will give them a
closer insight to their business, and
point the way toward improvements
and greater profits.
The University of Missouri College
of Agriculture has recently issued Ex-
pertinent Station Circular 81, which
gives details for keeping farm &C
counts. It is illustrated with sample
pages taken from an account book
kept by farmer. These illustrations
are fully discussed so that farmers
will be able to keep their accounts by
referring to the circular. This circu-
lar will be mailed free of charge to
those persons who request it from the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture, Columbia. Mo.
According to this circular, an ex-
pensive farm account book is not nee
essary, and farmers are warned
against INSCRIPTIONS agents who will
attempt to persuade them that they
must have an elaborate, expensive
book. An account book which will not
cost more than 10, or, at the most
% cents, will answer the require
ments. Farmers who care to keep
more elaborate accounts can obtain q
book that will be satisfactory for
about one dollar, or even less. The
College of Agriculture will inform
farmers, upon request, where an in.
expensive book can be obtained.

Sometimes we are asked if the
Navy isn't the most inactive branch
of the service. This would be anus
ing if it were not so preposterous.
The Navy is the first line of defense
and must be not only active, but 100
per cent efficient, before we can hope
for service in battle, especially when
such an expanse of water separates
us from the foe.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
Injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store and
few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it In, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy,
and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle Of
dust, dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

the Allies occupied the strong milltary

ton or fghting other than or a desui-
tory nature In the city itseit. whica
leads to the belief that sthe Germans
were forced out OF the town by the en-
veloping movements on the north and
south. Field Marshal Haig's men. 1t
is believed, drove in their wedges so
deeply on the two sides of the town
that the enemy. with his communications
in the rear threatened, was forced Il
withdraw.
The capture OF Valenciennes is i'm
rortant from a military point of view
not so much for what the city itself
offers as for the fact that it has been
the centre OF a wide area which the
enemy will now be forced TO evacuate.
North OF the city the British have
turned the line OF the Scheldt, which
means that Maubeuge and Mons will
soon become untenable for the enemy.
Maubeuge il strongly fortified CEN

there in the first days OF the war that
Britons have since longed for the day
