During a visit with Malone Bros.
they told me that at the Ernest Smith
sale near Kenwood last week Friday
they sold a second hand Deering bind
er for 5000 and Deere corn planter
for $40. While the day was very cold
it did not seem to put a chill in the
bidding.
So popular have the farm account
books with the income tax supplement
issued by the agricultural extension
department at Iowa State college
proved that within three weeks after
the announcement was made that they
were available, 10000 copies Of the
book were ordered BY over 5000 diff
ferent individuals. Orders have been
coming in at the rate of rs to $50 4
day., Some farmers do not seem to
quite understand the method of dis
tributing these books" says S. H.
Thompson, farm management man Of
the extension department, who has
had charge Of their preparation. I'VE
send copy of the book on payment
OF 9 cents in cash. This is the exact
cost Of printing the book. In addition
to the book containing blanks for o
years bookkeeping on a farm, it con-
tains the income tax supplement, ar
ranged either for the man who has
kept no accounts but who has to make
a return, or for the man who keeps
a satisfactory set Of books"

is Inconvenience.
Public service corporations, retail

difficulties. They are breaking in
green hands to take the place of the
skilled labor. or perhaps getting along
with a reduced force. This leads to
slow work and errors.
Some fretful people lose temper if
they have to wait few moments to
get attention in store or Office. They
should reflect what a trfling annoy
ance it is, and how small a. part of the
days time they have lost. The over
worked clerks are doing their best and
they have the worst end of it. The
public should accept inconvenience
good naturedly. They are a trifle com

How little some of the city newspa
pers know about the actual conditions
and methods of producing milk is evi
denced by cartoon which recently ap
peared in a Chicago newspaper. The
cartoon pictured herd of cows graz
ing in pasture, with grass up as high
as their heads. Leaning against q
tree was a farmer busily engaged
chewing on straw. He was supposed
to be saying: Guess I'll have to raise
the price Of milk, cause grass is SC
high" After reading that we were
supposed to laugh. Good joke. III
say it was. On the man who exposed
his ignorance of conditions today on
the farm, when he drew that picture
In the good old summer time, when
the grass is supposed to be up and do
ing, it dried out last summer in most
of the pastures and meadows and
there was not sufficient pasture for the
cattle. Many farmers did not put w
a pound of hay, and corn fodder and
,oat straw have been used as a substi:
tute. Hay is now selling around thir-
ty dollars per ton and it Is the farmers
who are buying it. Dat straw is SELL
ing for about 81 per ton and few
years ago it was from nothing to 81
per ton. Milk was produced to a
great extent upon mill stuff this fall
and winter, with the assistance of en-
silage. Those who have bought mill
stuff fully realize that it was expens-
i've, too. Increased cost Of labor and
everything else from binding twine to
weekly newspapers-that the farlns.
has to have in his business-has ad-
vanced in price. The cartoon did not
show in the background piles Of soft
and rotten corn and empty corn cribs.
Some of those wise city chaps seem
to think the cows come in from the
tall grass twice day, winter and sum-
mer, and meander over to the milk
cans to have the fluid dollars pulled
from their udder. During the rest of
the day the farmer sits around on the
barbed wire fence chewing a straw
and figuring his income tax. The main
impression, however, Of that cartoon
was to convey the thought that the
farmer is robbing the consumer. The
fact is that hundreds Of dairymen are
quitting the business. while thousands
of others in the central dairy districts
are greatly reducing the size of their
herds. UNLESS fair price for milk
is fixed by the federal commission, the
dairy industry will suffer real calam-

Deny Story That Wounded
Cannot Get Pay Advanced

1t was said at War Depa rtment and
Marine Corps headquarters yesterday
that there was no truth in the stories
published that Marines at Chelsea
Hospital and many soldiers at Camp
Dix were in distress for the want of
funds.
At Marine Corps headquarters it was
stated that as long as three months
ago and again within the last few
weeks Col. Shaw, in charge of the
Marine Barracks at Boston, was given
instructions to take care of the re-
turning wounded Marines. of whom
there are some at the Chelsea Hospi-
tai. Headquarters believes this has
been done in every case, and that 1t is
not true that Marines cannot get funds
whenever necessary.
At the War Department general in
structions were sent out some time
ago that in the case of soldiers re-
turning without service and pay rec
ords each could make affidavit of his
status in these respects and be as
sisted.

retailers have to pay from 10 to Is
cents a dozen for fresh eggs, they sold
in the Farmers Market for 65 cents a

Prevent Accidents In
N. Y. Harbor.

Enthusiastic greetings accorded in
coming overseas transports in New
York by other vessels have so nearly
resulted in a serious accident sew
eral times that restrictions have been
placed by the Treasury Department
upon the movements Of welcoming
vessels
Captains OF naval transports have
reported great difficulty in navigating
their ships shafely up the harbor due
10 the noise of whistles and sirens
and streams from fire boats. Navi-
CATION signals cannot be exchanged
nor can the bell buoys be heard in
thick weather. Ships ahead cannot
be disceTned when they are cut OF by
streams from the fire boats
While it Is desired to interfere as
little as possible with the welcome aC-
corded the, returning overseas sol
diers. the Treasury Department has
requested all vessels in New York
harbor to comply with the following
regulations:
rQ3 That all such craft shall keep
al a distance of at least 800 yards from
an incoming transport, unless it be
necessary to approach nearer to per-
init the vessels to pass in the Ordi-
nary course of their navigation:
p go That such craft shall not blow
their sirens or whistles within a dis
tance of one-half mile from an in
coming transport. except to give the
usual and necessary navigation sig
mails;
"CD That such craft shall not shoot
streams OF water from their hose
within a distance of one-hllf mile
from an incoming transport, unless
necessary to eNtingUish a fire. and
30 That no band shall he permit
ted to play in the vicinity of such
transport while the same is approach
ing its dock"

who will take the trouble to go to the
market can buy for the same price.
At this time of the year the farm
ers do not have much produce left on
their hands, as generally they have no
good facilities for storing. They gen.
orally only come into the arket dur
ing the winter in large numbers on
Tuesdays and Saturdays. bringing
with them the eggs which have ac-
cumulated during the week.
