Keen Farm Accounts

Farm accounts are necessary as g
basis for planning business opera
tiOns, to determine costs of product.
ion, to secure the most advantageous
loan, and to make correct income
tax report. The recent income tax
has made farm accounting necessary
on most farms This requirement
however, should be welcomed by
the farmers. since it will give them
closer insight to their business,
and point the way toward improve
ments and greater profits.
The University of Missouri College
of Agriculture has recently issued
Experiment Station Circular "a,
which gives details for keeping farm
accounts. 1t is illustrated with
sample pages taken from an account
book kept by a farmer. These
illustrations are fully discussed so
that farmers will be able to keep
their accounts by referring to the
circular. This circular will be
mailed free of charge to those
persons who request it from the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture, Columbia, Missouri
According to this circular, an ex
pensive farm account book is not
necessary, and farmers are warned
against INSCRIPTIONS agents who
will attempt to persuade them that
they must have an elaborate, ex-
pensive book. An account book
which will not cost more than 10,
or, at the most, 25 cents. will answer
the requirements. Farmers who
care to keep more elaborate lccOunts
can obtain a book that will be satis-
factory for about one dollar, or even
less. The College of Agriculture
will inform farmers, upon request,
where an inexpensive book can be
obtained.

Buy Your Coal Now

A vigorous campaign has been
inaugurated and is being pushed by
State Fuel Administrator Wallace
Crossley having as its object the
summer buying and storage of next
winters supply of coal and other
fuel by household and commercial
consumers in this state
The supreme necessity for this
campaign to avoid any possibility
of fuel shortage during the coming
winter is readily apparent even to
the most superficial observer.
There is an ample abundance of
coal in this country, sufficient not
only to supply all normal demands,
but the increased consumption due
to war conditions as we'll. The
problem confronting Administrator
Crossley and other Federal coal
officials throughout the country lies
in production, transportation and
distribution.
Spring and Summer buying and
storage of a twelve months supply
of coal will keep the mines busy
during the months they are, under
ordinary conditions. closed down be-
cause of lack of demand; not only
this but every car load of coal min
ed and distributed during the spring
and summer months means just
that much less strain and tension
on the transportation facilities when
fall and winter comes.

There are few editors in our state
who have not made vigorous and
continuous fight against the city
mail order house. This has been
done in the interest of the home
merchant, and without money and
without price. If the editors of the
land had received regular advertising
rates for all they have said against
these enemies, of the country Mer-
chant they could now be wearing
diamonds. Now the department
store appreciates advertising space
and is willing to take all the average
country editor has for sale, and at a
good price. What other class OF
business or professional man would
refuse business to help their friends.
especially as many of said friends
never seem in the least disposed to
return the compliment or even
appreciate it.

PruSSian Slavery

Whoever else may be disposed to
give up, it is a comfort to know
that the women of the Allied
countries are irrecoDcilable and IN
compromising. Womanhood every
where has special account to settle
with the Huns. The Prussian phil
Osophy and system have regarded
woman largely as a burden bearer.
She occupied humiliating position
in peace even in her own country.
No nation with any sense of chiv.
airy or respect for woman as such
could have been guilty of the mon
strOus crimes which German soldiers
have committed and which Ger
many has sanctioned in France and
Belgium. If Prussianism succeeds.
woman will continue in practical
serfdom wherever it is dominant
Woman. therefore, must remain till
the end the sworn enemy of this
tyrant, not only because she has
been the chief victim in this war,
but because there is no hope for
her sex, except in the complete
overthrow of the spirit which would
keep her enslaved.
This invincible determination is
reflected in the refusal of Queen
Marie of Rumania to accept the
German peace to which the king
and the men of Rumania have re-
luctantly submitted. They have
passed under the yoke, seeing no
other way. But the queen is still
at war. She will fight on. She
would rather be free peasant than
a subject queen. 1T is only
wolnan's hope" she says, but l can
not abandon it."
The rock of outraged womanhood
is the rock on which Prussianism is
bound to be wrecked, if there we're
no other in its way. There Can be
no peace till women give the word,
and they will not give the word
while the monstrous enemy of
womanhood survives.

Lying amid the dandelions and
daisies of France, sleeping the sleep
that knows no waking, are the
American boys who one by one fell
at their post. If honor is measured
by degrees, then surely these men
are entitled to the highest honor
They went at the call of their
country. went in the glory and
spleDdor of their young manhood
when the allurements and attract
ions of youth played about their
feet. Like beautiful day dream
loved ones, friends, pleasures and
life all were generously offered on
the altar of their country. Greater
love hath no man than that he will
lay down his life for bis friend. And
had the sacred writer lived in this
day no doubt he would have includ-
ed country also, The names of these
men are written in letters of gold
on the tablet of a nations memory.
What a noble purpose they had
what clear conception of duty,
what a sublime devotion to country,
and they fought that the world
might be aft place to live in. Years
will come and 20 and some day the
bright mantle of peace will again
cover the earth, but the names of
the men who have fallen in this
great struggle for righteousness will
ever be fresh and fragrant in the
memory of a grateful and sympa-
thetic country.
