is perhaps the greatest achievement of
the party in this generation. old
political observers stood in the smok-

night and marveled. Never before
had Kansas democracy been known to
pass quietly by an opportunity for
rough house in their own party. OF
course there may be a relapse before
the primaries. but skillful specialists
have coddled and nursed the patient

KEEP FARM LISTS
Every Farmer Should Make a
Yearly Inventory.
Material Should Be Listed as
Merchant Lists His Goods.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. ga farm
inventory should be kept on every
farm, according to w. e. Grimes, as
sistant professor OF farm management
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege. 1t can be taken on any date in
the winter when the farmer has the
time, but the same date should be
used each year.
The inventory will determine the
standing of the business and at the
end of the year determine whether it
has gone backward or forward" said
Professor. Grimes. TT might be called
the farmers mile post as it tells him
whether he is progressing or losing.
I'm the inventory should be a COM
plete list of all the resources and all
the liabilities. The resources should
include all the property which a man
has that could be used to pay, debts
if necessary. The liabilities would be
all that the farmer owes or the debts
that he would have to meet in case
he were to close his business.
List Bills and Equipment. IS
I'm the resources not only the real
estate, cash on hand and the livestock
should be listed but also the equip
ment bills or accounts receiva BILE, and
the growing crops. 1t is important
that each of these be correctly listed.
With the real estate all fixtures and
improvements legally a part of the
land in case it is sold are included in
the valuation. In listing equipment,
all machinery. harness 2 nd small tools
on the farm are included. They are
not listed at purchase value, but at
the true value at the time the in
ventory is made.
Feed and supplies include all
feeds, hay, grain or concentrates on
hand, and all products held for sale.
Supplies include Irvine. oil, cement,
! lum Der. posts or any other supplies
| on hand that haveNnot been used. The
/ value given these should be the mar
ket value of the product on the farm.
Weed Out Dea Bills.
Bills or accounts receivable are all
bills due the farmer and everything
that anyone owes him. Accounts that
ca mot be collected or have no value
should be omitted as they could not
be used to meet any of his own debts
The cost of seed and the labor
utilized in planting a crop are taken
as the value of growing crop
rather than the probable Yield When
listing accounts or bills payable all
mortgages, notes. unpaid interest and
outstanding accounts must be in
cluded.
After all items have been entered
the total of all resources and of all
liabilities should be determined. The
total of the resources minus the total
of the liabilities will give the pres
ent or net worth of the farm bust
ness. The difference between the net
worth of inventories for two consec-
utive years is the loss or gain for the
intervening year"

II. Outline the work. of Joshua in
the Northern campaign?
IL. What is catalogued in the
twelfth chapter of Joshua?
Note-Joshua was a great leader
for Israel. His characteristics were:
l. Perfect faith in God. 2. A master
ly courage. 8. A great leader of men.
4. Lasting enthusiasm. 5. Unswerv-
inG fidelity in the discharge of his
duties. To those who condemn the
victories of Israel in Canaan we might
recall she facts of a feeling of moral
right to subdue country. 1. 1t was
common to annihilate whole popula-
lions. 2. Human life counted of lit
tie value. 8. The Assyrian monuments
are full of boasting records. 4. The
annihil1tion was far from complete.
But the real meaning of the Conquest
wars were:
1. The publication of the land, the
temple and the home.
2. Civil liberty. Under God it was
to govern itself This was a new pat
tern.
8. Religious liberty. Freedom from
superstition, idolatry and vice.
4. For the whole earth. In Israel
all the nations of the earth were to be
blessed.

In addition to going home without a
row, the Democrats staged a real
party. The crowd was large. Such
ingrowing grouches as were brought
TO Topeka were soothed to rest under
the quieting influence of enthusiastic
and high patriotic postmasters. The
food at the banquet was good Nor
was the hungry guest from Huntsville
slipped an apology over the shoulder
of Mr. Hoover The grocery portions
were large and the oratory was in the
same measure. Two orchestras fur
nished music. Officers were elected
without so much discussion And
when the crowd went home, Kansas
democracy had proven to the world
it could banquet without fighting over
the pie.
No Fight on Thompson.
Senator William H Thompson,
around whom everyone expected the
Democrats to start a free fight. came
home and returned to washington
without a dent in his hat or on his
coat Not only did Senator Thomp-
son dodge the chances for trouble but
ne came TO Kansas with padded
brick for Roosevelt. He told Kansas
democracy Teddy was responsible for
all the trouble in Washington. 1t is
Roosevelt's criticism-not cabinet
troubles - which directs criticism
against the national administration, he
said.
.-Politics. pure and simple. is at the
bottom of all the criticism against
Secretary Baker and this administra-
ton, and envious Roosevelt is the
chief politician at the head of the
movement" said Senator Thompson.
HE still has dreams of a third term.
He fears that if this war continues,
and we all hope that it will not there
will be third term president and his
name will not be Roosevelt Yet
Roosevelt is the only man in the United
States of any political party who is so
ambitious, so selfish and so unpa-
triotic as to now begin his political
campaign against a serving president
successfully conducting war for his
country.
THE scheme of the Republican
bosses is very plain. They first pro-
pose to carry congress, and after that,
to use the language of a Republican
whom l heard reveal the plan, then
gut the president "
Kopke Brought Good Cheer.
President Kopke, of Emporia, sang
a few verses of hope and good cheer
in his speech at the banquet Kopke
was modest in his claims. He re-
elected Thompson, returned the five
Democrat congressman, won over the
Republican districts, elected the entire
state ticket controlled the next legis-
lature and cinched the presidency of
the United States in 1920. His speech
was short and he didn't mention the
county offices. But it made everyone
happy and helped them forget that
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois could not come.
Thomas H. Grisham of Cottonwood
Falls was another speaker who
couldn't come. Grisham was sick.
But he sent a letter and President
Kopke read the letter to the club.

vacant by the absence of Senator Lew
is. He didn't mention politics. He
talked patriotism and the responsible

during the war crisis. Martin received
a healthy boom for governor during
this day. 1t is quite certain, tho,f he
will sidestep the governorship and Will
seek Congressman Ed Titles scalp in

James R. Start, of McCracken. re-
sponded to the toast Calling to Kan
Sas." Start is native Kansan and
has won high honor as a speaker at
Hays State normal.
"In answering the call to make the
world safe for democracy, Kansas
calls back unto herself, democracy
must be made safe for the world"
said Start. War has torn the veil
from wolfish egoism, simpering ethics
and stereotyped religion. Kansas, the
most Christian of states in Union of
for the right, finds the world calling
to her to lead in making democracy
safe for the world"
Women's Duty to Democracy.
Mrs. Carolyn brennan, of Arkansas
City, told the Democrat BanQue club
of kansas Women's Duty to De-
mocracy and the Party" She was the
Only woman speaker on the prOgra m
and was given an enthusiastic recep-
ton.
"Since war was declared, Kansas wo-
men have been told many times that
they voted for Wilson to keep us out
of war, but, believe me, the women of
America are not towards" said Mrs.
brennan, land when liberty and JUS
tice, were threatened, we would have
thought our confidence sadly mis-
placed had not our president stood for
the Independence and honor of our
nation"

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have clear,
healthy skin by using little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at $1.OO.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trifle for each application. It is
always dependable.
