There is nothing that will put
your home merchant in a better
position to give you bargain prices,
than cash. Right now they are
carrying a heavy load of accounts
on their books and while they can
only receive 3O-day credit from the
wholesale houses, they are expected
to carry their customers much long
er than that. Collections have been
rather slow this fall and of course
this works hardship on the stores.
They are not getting square deal
in comparison to the mail order
houses. All the money that goes
to the Community Wrecking Houses
is spot cash, or in other words,
cream, while the home merchant
is given the Skinned milk.

ANNUAL INVENTORY OF FARM
1t Is Absolutely Essential, as Upon It.
Is Based Division of One Years
Business.

prepared by the United States Depart
meht of Agriculture.)
AT the close of the business year on
the farm, or before new season be-
gins, every farmer should make an in
ventory of his belongings. In a system
of accounting the inventory is abso-
lutely essential, as upon it is based
the division of one years business:
with another. A farm inventory is
simply statement showing what the
land, buildings, equipment, live stock,
supplies and produce On hand are
worth at the time the inventory is
made, together with amount of cash
on hand and money owing to and owed
by the farmer. 1t is list of farm
property and farm debts. It CORE
spends to the "stock taking" which
every merchant does periodically.
The uses of the inventory are i'm
portant and varied. AS previously
stated, it is the basis upon which is
built the superstructure of account
ing systems. Taken alone it will show
q farmer exactly what he is worth
and will be guarantee of solvency
and an aid in securing credits and
loans from the bank in time of need.
The inventories for two dates year
apart show whether progress or retro
gresslon has occurred during the year,
and definitely measure the degree of
the change.
Taken in conjunction with cash
account for the year, the inventory
SHOWS how much has been made by
farming and to what extent the per-
sonal and household expenses have
offset profits. 1t also gives a much
better insight into the income pro-
duced by each farm department, as
decrease in inventory value of hogs,
Tor instance, may .offset to some ex-
tent what, from the cash account,
looks like very large income from
that source, or vice versa,

WOOD BURNING WILL
AIDFUEL SHORTAGE.
Country Districts and Small VII
lagos Can Help Greatly.
Government Officials Urge All Farmers
10 Use Wood During War or Emer-
aency Periods-Save Coal and
Transportation.

PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The coal shortage for next winter,
estimated by the fuel administration
at about 100000 tons, makes it nee
essary that wood should be used to
save both coal and transportation.
Country districts and small villages are
in position to greatly help coal conser-
walton by burning wood.
Farmers now use on their farms 3d.
100000 cords of fuel wood annually.
All farms should use it during the war
or emergency periods, officials urge.
Any kind of coal stove or furnace
can be used for burning wood in
pinch. With careful attention to
drafts and CRATES the change can be
made with little trouble.
On the average, a cord of wood is
about equal to seven-tenths of a ton
of coal. Two cords of soft wood are
required to equal ton Of coal, but
cord of wood from a number of we'll
known kinds of trees will equal a ton
of coal in heating value, and for three
varieties-osage orange, canyon, live
oak and black locust-a cord has q
higher heating value than ton of
coal. Most of the oaks and hickOries
as well as western yew, honey locust,
blue gum, sweet birch and number
of others are the equivalent of nine
tenths of one ton of coal.
The following have low-heating
value but are approximately equal to

It will be cheering news to the
farmers of Idaho who have been
contending with short crops and
denying themselves of all luxuries
and many necessities, to learn that
A. C. Townley, head of the nonpar-
tisan league, to whom they paid SIG
for one years membership, gets
$500 per month salary and $1,000 per
month expenses. This is the sworn
statement OF the treasurer of the
nonpartisan league given in the
bankruptcy proceedings of Mr.
Townley, who failed" for $500, 900.
The farmers who have had difficulty
in meeting their payments on Lib
erty bonds machinery, etc, will
hardly feel that Mr.. Townley is en-
titled to draw $500 per month or
$4,000 per year from the money
collected from the farmers for
membership in the league. Yet
Townley and his associates claim
they collected $4,000 from the
farmers of Idaho for membership in
the league and they do not have to
account to anyone for this money.
We wonder how many farmers of
Latah and neighboring counties
will renew their membership in the
nonpartisan league at SIG per re-
newal. Star Mirror.

About fourteen years ago the bust

About fourteen years ago the bust
ness section of Kendrick was total
ly destroyed by fire. The progress
sive men of the town set about inn
mediately to rebuild the burned
structures and start all over again.
From that date Kendrick has grad
ually progressed, with a few minor
tsetbacks, until today the town is
better from a business standpoint
and in the way Of public improve
ments than it has ever been before.
Of course there is still much to be
desired but if the business men here
will show the same spirit that those
did who rebuilt the town after the
fire, this can be made one of the
very best small towns in the north
west. Public improvements are not
an extravagance-they are a per-
manent investment. A progressive
business man would hardly consider
it good policy to use soap box for
a counter and have the other fix
lures in his store Of a like meagre
nature. Instead he buys expen-
sive show cases, up-to-date scales,
cash registers and other fixtures
that give his store progressive ap-
pearance. The money invested in
this equipment is considered a good
investment IN more ways than one.
Money invested in public i'm
provements will return gradually
in an increased volume of business
1t has been proven in other places
innumerahle times. 1t will be real
ly good business policy for everyone
interested in Kendrick to boost the
town by assisting to keep up i'm
provements and make any addition
al Improvements when occasion de-
mands. Kendrick from now on will
be just what the people who live
here make it.

Congress Refrains From
Comment on Wilson Talk

Washington, Dec. 2.-Comment
for publication on the presidents
address was not so general at the
capitol today as usual. Senator
Martin, democratic leader; Senator
Lodge. republican leader; Senator
Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, all refrained
from making statements. e..
Some senators did comment how
ever, and there were numerous state
ments on the house side. Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina,
democratic leader. said:
The presidents message was a
great address and his explanation
about his trip ought to satisfy his
critics."
Representative Mann of Illinois,
republicans leader, said: THE most
important phase of the message was
on railroads, about which he gave no
recommendations. Next in impor-
lance was the entire failure to take
the congress or the country into his
confidence on his trip abroad to the
peace conference"
Speaker Clark: 1T was a fine

thing of its own on the railroad

conditions of restraint without de-
velopment. There is nothing offirma-
tive or helpful about them. What
the country chiefly needs is that all
its means of transportation should
be developed, its railways, its water
ways, its highways, and its country
side roads. Some new element of
policy, therefore, is absolutely
necessary-necessary for the service
of the public, necessary for the re-
lease of credit to those who are
administering the railways, neces-
sary for the protection of their their
security holders. The old policy
may be changed much or little, but
surely it cannot wisely be left as it
was.

have complete and impartial study
