day work covered gas engine troubles
and how to locate them. In the labor

some way by the instructors and the
men attending the school were to To-

KEEP FARM ACCOUNT BOOKS

During the past two weeks the coun-
ty agent has been impressed more
than ever that every farmer should
keep an accurate farm account book.
From March LIST, from ten to fifty farm
ers have been to the court house daily
to make their income tax report TO
Mr.. Peyton. During this, time Mr.
Peyton says that there has been but
yerv few farmers who could make
their tax d returns on an inventory
basis. However, quite number OF
farmers have kept farm account BOOKS
but, the. books have been kept by q
more or less hit and miss method.
To make tax returns of the farming
business from account books, all the
business transactions must be record
ed as they are made. All stock raised
during the year and all stock that has
died during the year must be record
ed.
Farmers who have been allowed to
make tax returns, using. the inventory
method, are those who made their tax
returns for 1917 from record books,
also those farmers who kept a COM
nlete record of their 1918 transactions
OcSlQeS YlVlUS Ill Iuc VdAuO " eAAS
stock raised on the farm previous to
the first inventory taken.
Mr.. Peyton advocates the inventory
method and suggests that the farmers
who kept books during 1918 continue
doing so. To those who did not, he
advises that they begin this year.
Make the inventory now for what you
had January 1st and itemize weekly
your expenses and sales.
The revenue collectors examine
your farm account books when your
tax report is made, the same as bank
examiners examine the bank books;
either can tell when entries are wrong

It is farmers business duty to

Over fifty farmers were present at
the meeting held at Debit March
10th, to complete the organization OF

DelOit will have farmers elevator
is now certainty. Aside from the
large number of interested men at the
meeting to back the project, subscrip-
ton sheets showed that over 5000
worth of stock has been sold.
Many features OF farmers elevat-
or organization were brought out in
the discussions carried on. w. Gebe,
manager of the farmers elevator,
Rockwell City, gave a good talk on
what a farmers elevator should be
and what it can do for a community.
Mr.. Gebe has had years of expert
ence as a cooperative elevator man
ager. He predicted that the new or
ganizatiOn would be successful en-
terprise, because of the local interest
and because Of the need for a farm
ers elevator at Deloit.
John Woodruff, Of DenisOn, also
gave good suggestions concerning the
organization. Mr.. Woodruff empla-
sized organizing as a cooperative

HUTCHINSON JoBBER SEES
CONTINUED ADVANCES

Food prices have not reached the
highest altitude yet, thinks Clarence
W. Payne of the Central Mercantile
company Next year will see most
commodities even higher than at
present, Mr. Payne predicts.
One thing that will have some little
influence in favor of the consumer
will be the sale of additional govern
ment food stores. The War depart
ment has vast quantities Of fOodstuffs
on hand and will dispose of all except
the amounts required for a peace
time army.
Local jobbers have received Motif
cation that the War department will
shortly offer for sale 21,000,00O
pounds of sugar This is most graft
flying, too, for sugar is yet not plenti-
full 1t is especially scarce east of
the Mississippi, Mr.. Payne says. The
western part of the country has eX-
perienced no difficulty with ATTAIN
ing plenty, he says
"Sugar is jobbing in Hutchinson,
for a dollar a sack less than it is in
Chicago" said Mr.. Payne. "Here we
have always had more sugar than
the east. Until the last year or so our
beet sugar never went east of the
Mississippi. There will be no famine
and there is no, cause for people here
to feel alarm, but in the east for
some time they have experienced an
acute shortage This government
sale will undoubtedly help that situa-
ton along a great deal"
Business has been about average
in bulk of sales, Mr.. Payne says,
though of course, the volume from
the money standpoint has been much
larger than ever before.-News.
