 pOrtatiOn Lines.

Conditions are improving. A broal- CT and more impartial attitude toward railroads is being taken This was evidenced in an impressive way in the circuit court here yesterday when six suits in which railroads were de- fendants were handled and none went against the railroads. Il tha cases of Earl Carter vs. Missouri Pacific. and M. NJ. Marx vs F. B. Btsn, re- celver of the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern railway, non-s.its were taken, which leave the cases just where they were before the petitions were filed. The case of Jerry Brooks vs. Missouri Pacific was dismissed. and verdicts for defendants rendercG in the suits of s. K. Johnson vs. E F. Bush, receiver; Thalheimer Horse and Mule company vs. B. F. Bush, re- ceiver, and Victor Simon vs. Missouri Pacific. All cases tried were based on claims for damages growing out of the death of injury of livestock.

Washington are looking ahead
quite long ways when we talk about
what shall be done with the German
ships after the war. 1t Is very doubt
ful whether the people Of the United
States would look with favor upon re-
turning German ships which were con-
hscated and are now being used by this
government. But it is the ships that
are in the kiel canal and in the Ger
man harhOrs that are of especial In
terest, particularly the fighting ships.
1t is not believed that Great Britain
and France will ever consent to have
those ships left in possession OF Ger
many and thus become a nucleus OF
further submarine Outrages when Ger
many gets ready for another war.
While It Is looking long way ahead,
II seems To be the determination or
all the nations which are now con-
Quoting the war against the mad dog
Of Europe" to so end that war as to
make 1t impossible for any set OF men
to precipitate upon the world any
such catastrophe as that which began
four years ago and is still wrecking
the world. Germany must be stripped
of her war power, and that Will In
Cludc all the ships that can be used

The modern farmers wife IS no
longer satisfied with the old accepted
idea that "the farm gives us ny-
ing" but she gets out her pencil ana
paper and asks allow much Of a llv-
ing does It give us?'
Generations ago neither the farm
nor the farm household had any hut
minor dealings with the outside world.
Under such conditions the need for
accounts was slight. But those con
ditions no longer exist The farm
household, though still in many cases
receiving its major support in farm
products consumed at home, purchases
far more extensively than ever be-
fore from outside sources. Farm house
hold accounts have become essential
10 economy
Household expenses on the farm are
very Intimately associated with the
business Of the farm itself. The farm
normally supplies much material
which otherwise would become a
household expense. The household in
7urn. very often furnishes board for
farm labor which would otherwise be
a farm expense. Merely from the
standpoint of keeping track Of house
hold expenses as related to the farm
business. household accounts are de-
slrable and should serve to supplement
and round out farm accounts.
Ways Of Keeping Records.
There are two methods Of keeping
n record Of household expenditures.
one Is 10 record the purchases or
money paid out without classifying
Tie expenditures. The other is TO clas-
srfy when the record Is made.
The first method is very simple, re-
lulres no special form, and gives all
necessary information regarding cT-
pendltures. At the end of the month
or m the end Of the year The total
