Making the Farmer Keep
Books.

AS there are 100000 owners of
farms in the United States, and but
$4,000 of them have thus far paid
an income tax. Internal Revenue
Bureau is said to be contemplating
searching investigation. Only one
difficulty presents itself, says the
New York Times Farmers do not
as rule keep books, and it is fear
ed that anything like an official
accounting enforced by law would
be vextious and costly to an ele-
ment not accustomed to such a
system
When the Government has had
to deal with other industries it has
had no such hesitation. There is
hardly business that has not been
forced by law into enormous ex-
penditures in the way of bookkeep
ing for public purposes. Not long
ago some of the railroads were
staggering under these infections.
Since income taxes we're imposed,
the bookkeeping of most CONNER
cial and industrial enterprises has
been materially increased.
One of the shortcomings of Amer
lean farmers is their failure to keep
books. No matter how primitive
these accounts may be, they are
useful in mahy ways. They afford
permanent records and make COM
PARSONS easy They show what is
earned and what is spent. They
are a check upon extravaganza
Carefully kept, they will hardly fail
to show whether the energies OF the
husbandmsn and his family are
profitable or misapplied and waste
full, as to all of which actual knowl
edge should be better than {
guess.
Some compulsory bookkeeping ir
in this field will result, no doubt
in vastly increased payments of in.
come taxes. but the farmer himsel
will advantage more by the process
than will the Government.

Political FOIIieS.

II man is ambitious for large
success in any profession or calling,
be has to devote years of study in
ORDER to make himself an expert.
He does not expect to achieve any
considerable results unless he can
perform his duties not merely as
well as his competitors, but with a
certain superiority and power of
original initiative.
If man wishes to achieve sue.
cess in politics he is not apt to de-
vote his first attention TO study of
the problems he has to meet in his
official work. He looks first to
winning the friendship of the peo-
pie through good fellowship, and
the support of the politicians by
swapping favors.
We place too little value Oh the
man who performs the duties of his
office with expert skill We are
easily swayed by the man with
social arts ana gift for policai trad.
ing.
There is too much of feeling
that public Office is a reward or
kind of favor to be passed around
as rapidly as possible so that the
largest possible number of men
shall have their turn at it.
Before we get government to a
business and efficient basis. the av-
erage voter will have to give much
more thought to political matters
and he will have to scrutinize
the records of candidates much
more carefully. 1t is the business
of the newspapers to inform the
voters in these matters, and those
who read newspapers carefully are
much more likely to vote intelli,
gently. The vital thing necessary
to good government. is to show bus.
mess sense in voting, and to pick
candidates who are honest and
efficient and qualified. rather than
those who win out by political
scheming.

Home Trade Prospects.

One effect of the war will be to
lead people to buy in their home
towns even more than ever before.
The cost of living has advanced fast
in the large cities. 1t costs a great
deal more to conduct mail order
houses and department stores than
formerly. Rents in these places
have advanced, taxes on them are
very high, they have had to pay
greatly increased wages to their
help who are suffering from big
city prices.
The expressman will demand a
larger fee for carrying his package
to your door If sent by freight, it
will take an interminable time to
get it, and the charge may be 40
per cent higher than formerly.
Passenger travel costs more. Mrs.
Buyaway will have to pay literally
for her shopping trip to distance.
In the days of lavish spending,
some women would 60 to a distant
city to get a dress, and including
expenses would pay double what
the garment would have cost in the
home town. When people are right
up agsinst the limits of an income
than can expend no farther, they
are going to consider these items.
They will look at least over the
home stores stock first. And when
they do that, they will be so pleas
ed what they find. and that SO
times out of 100 they will buy.
The home store suffers from the
difficulties of these times less than
any other. 1t buys its goods in
large shipments and bulk. so that
freight and express charges are al
vided up, and increases do moi
amount to much as part of any
purchase. Conditions of living are
easier on the help in a town like
this. They have to pay less fol
car and railroad fare and other ex
penses. and are as we'll off even il
working for little less wages. All
which helps keep down the scale Of
merchandise prices.

American Principles Trium.
Dhant.

This war was caused by the be-
lief of the German people that they
had superior form of government
destined to rule over mankind
They claimed that a despOtic au-
thority is better than democratic
government. more efficient, creating
better discipline, accomplishing
better the welfare of the people
This of course denied every prin.
ciple on which the American repub,
lie was built. Sooner or later these
two theories were bound TO clash
and determine which was the
stronger.
At the beginning the German
system of autocratic government
did seem to give greater efficiency.
1t organized their people into CO.
herent, disciplined entity, that
could be massed for any purpose
with the least possible friction. 1t
created striking force capable OF
the most destructive action before
the democratic nations could col.
lect their scattered elements.
1t eneabled the autocratic powers
to occupy a large part of the terri
tory of the democratic lands. and to
hold on to it more than four years
But every day the democratic peo
Piles were going stronger TheiI
wrath was rising, their striking
power gaining
In the final result it proved thai
the democratic armies were capable
of equal discipline with those of au,
tocracy. They fought with greater
intelligence. since they were educat'
ed to better individual action. They
fought with better spirit, since their
souls were animated by a keenel
sense of outraged justice. They
would die rather give up theiI
principles.
So this dream of autocracy has
vanished from the earth. Kings
and empires have crumbled. and
d emocracy has proved its greater
efficiency and power.

Caught In His Own Trap.

"uCIC says WI oCioiu D'ohuolI Ill
the Washington Star, but they do
not last long when they play so bold
IA game as Lieut.. Fauxnom played.
Perhaps it is wrong, however, TO
band Fauxnom as a spy, for it seems
incredible that the true Fauxnom
could have stopped so low; many
persons believe that in some way
the Germans managed to get rid of
F auxnom and impersonated him,
but the truth is not known.
Fauxnom was an air pilot en-.
& aged in regulating artillery fire.
He was capable in mathematics
and had an excellent eye for dis
lance and direction. On the day
planned for our infantry attack
near Souillv, we started to open the
way for the advance with our bat.
teries of heavy artillery hidden in
the woods several miles to the rear.
The German lines were invisible
from the artillery headquarters. and
we were entirely dependent on
Fauxnom to direct our fire.
At eight o'clock the bombardment
began with a trial shot from each
battery. The aerial observer i'm
mediately sent down his wireless
report.
Direction good. One hundred
yards to long"
The range was accordingly short
ened, q second volley fired.
Again the aviator licked in his
report.
The artillery commander recheck-
ed his calculations and would have
sworn that they we're correct To
make sure, he had the observer re
peated his report, and again shorten
ed the range.
A third time the guns roared.
Perfect direction and range"
signaled the observer Let her goI'
With one voice our hundreds of
cannoDs came to play. So rapid
was the service that one report sue
Ceeded the other before the echo Of
the first had died out.
Hello! Hello! Artillery head
quarters? General headquarters
speakine! Lenethen your range i'm
mediately by three hundred yards
and lave your commandant report
at once in person to the general
You are firing on our own trenches!
The entire offensive had been de-
layed and several thousand of our
men, massed in the 'front.' line trench
for the attack, had been cut to pieces
by our misdirected fire.
At first the general refused to
listen to the artilleryman, but finally
he allowed him to talk
Fauxnom was called down from
the air by wireless to explain his
reports, which he did so plausibly
that the general was undecided where
the blame lay and ordered both
officers to resume their duties.
Later in the day. however, the
general again received FauxnOm
in the presence of the artilleryman.
He had decided to test the loyalty
of the airman.
There must be no repetition of
this mornings error" he said You
see this point on the map? 1t is a
concrete rampant that shelters the
German kommandantur. | have
information that the Crown Prince
will be there this afternoon, and
want it annihilated."
The cOmmandant returned to his
battery rejoicing, His theory was
about to be tested. The general
had secretly ordered him to fire, not
at the concrete rampant, but at a
