Farmers Bulletin 964, issued by the
United States department of agrfcul-
ture, suggests a grouping of ~eXpendi-
lures which is logical, yet not cumber-
some in it's detail. After you have
kept your accounts for a time you will
perhaps originate some other classifi-
cation which may satisfy your needs
more fully. This is a suggestive out
line, however, that bears study and
will aid in drawing up your other
plan.
I. Food: O Animal; (2) Fruits and
Vegetables; 60 Cereal Products; "a
Other Groceries,
II. Clothing.
III. Household Furnishings.
~. Running Expenses.
v. Advancement: % Recreation; (2)
Education; 90 Benevolences; ca
Incidentals; 90 Savings.
Then in your account book you will
have record like the one in the 'box"
accompanying this article.
At the end of the month, the sum
of the entries in the column headed
"Cost" will show your total eypendi-
lures, and the other totals will appear
in the special columns.
Cards in Third Method.
The third method of keeping ac-
counts is by means of a card system.
= .,;o o1
ready given, except that the headings
are placed on cards instead of in
book. On one card would be the
heading Food, 35 per cent, $500 Cor
whatever percentage of the income
planned for in the budget. On the
cent, S.. Household Furnishings, -.
Itper cent, S.. Running Expenses, 80.
per cent, ST., and Advancement, -.
per cent, S.. If a general summary
for the month is desired a card with
all the headings could bear the totals
taken from the various cards. At the
end Of the year, the months totals
could be summarized and kept for
reference.
The woman who keeps accounts will
know after a little experience just
what information she wishes and can
adapt any of these methods to her
own needs.
This will be easy to total at the
end of the week, month, or year, and
thus will give total expenditures, but
will not tell you at a glance in what
line you should economic or answer
the question, "Iow much did I spend
this year on clothes?" A summary
may be made, however, in which each
item is entered in its proper column
az the end of each month or at the end
Of the year.
Classifying an Entry.
The second method includes classifi-
cation as the item is put down. It
requires a larger book, such as an or
binary account book, so that all the
group headings may be across the
two pages facing each other. For the
following months items, the tops of
the next pages may be cut off SO the
headings on the first page may be

Would you like to know where that

ance did not hold out so you could
have the new hat you wanted and
really needed? Would you like to
know how much money you spend a
year On food?
Of course, every housewife would
like to know. Why don't you find out?
"Just wondering" will never tell you
facts. A business man does not "just
wonder whether his business is pay
ing or not. His books tell him. But
you say since your books would show
money spent and never money being
made, you wouldn't have the satisfac-
ton the business man realizes at the
end Of the year. You are dealing with
much more satisfying results than the
business man. You are facing daily
the results of your work. The home,
in it's completeness or it's Incomplete
ness, it's order or it's disorder, it's sys-
tenn or it's lack of system, answers
you, but it does not tell you whether
you are getting value received for the
energy and money expended. Is that
important?
Are the questions pertinent that you
ask yourself concerning the amount
of money it costs you to live, the
amount you spend on essentials, and
the amount you spend on things you
would be better without? If they are,
then it is important and necessary
that you keep account of the money
spent, in order that those questions can
be answered.
Accounts Must Be Accurate.
Accounts are of practically no value
if they are not accurate. If you are
not willing to put down everything for
which you spend, if you do not intend
to spend a little time and thought on
he subject of accounts, do not start :;
for, like everything else worth while,
1t requires energy and thought.
Keeping accounts is a peculiar type
Of burden. If done correctly, it less
ems other burdens. In keeping accounts;
If you know the questions you want
answered the time you spend in the
daily routine is sure to be decreased.
How will you go about keeping your
accounts? Not by a haphazard meth
Cd nor yet one with too much detail,
for either evil will make them lose
their interest and value long before
you can expect results.
Three Plans Suggested.
Three plans Of keeping accounts are
commonly suggested by economists.
Any one of them VIII work out sue
ccssfully, according to hone-economics
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The first
has the advantage of taking little
thought or time when accounts are en-
tered, but on the other hand it does
require more time on the day of reck-
oning at the end of the month. The
second requires little more time in
the daily setting down, but is more
logical and more businesslike and re-
quires much less time at the end of
the month.

Mrs. Fish dried her eyes and off she

Mrs. Fish sat down to big platter full

Fox Hunting Great Sport

Three machine loads of fox hunters,
carrying dogs, guns and ammunition,
suteed out from Yale Tuesday morn
ing, to see if they could start some
chine containing AL Knisley, Clarence
Oviatt and party fetched up at Dave
Reeves home where they spent couple
of days visiting with relatives and
friends hunting foxes in the meantime
The party in the two other machines
had in mind the try out of the two fox
hounds recently received by Bob
Thompson and j. K. Staley. Soon af-
ter reaching the hunting grounds on
the river fresh fox track was found
and the dogs were given sniff of it.
After the dogs did some manuevering
the fox was jumped and struck out for
somewhere. then the merry chase was
on. The dogs gave good tongue but
were soon out of hearing of the boys.
Nearly three hours elapsed before the
dogs came into hearing again and as 1t
was getting late in the day, the boys
thought it best to take them off the
track and start for home. Bob and
Jack are more than pleased with their
purchase and are satisfied they have a
pair that is right.
This pair of fox hounds was secured
through Albert Hayes, of Marysville,
Tenn, son-in-law of Rodger WEIGH.
They were owned by an old mountain
eer who would not have parted with
them only he sold his plantation and
intended moving away from that To-

CITY HAS LONG BEEN DEAD
TIahuanaes, In Bolivia, Collection q
Rulns u Which Even the Inoas
Knew Nothing.

One Of the numerous cities claiming
the title "oldest city in the world"
II Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titicaca in
Bolivia. A thousand years ago, say
the scientists, Tiahuanaco was as dead
as 1t Is today, and that il practically
all that anybody knows Of its history.
Even the Incas, who hold a record for
antiquity in South America, admitted
to their first Spanish visitors that they
knew nothing about Tiahuanaco, ex-
cept that it was very probable that
the stone images scattered over the
ruins were the people of the city turned
into stone by some angry god.
There would be nearly as much Of
the old city visible today as there was
In the time of the Incas, had not the
stones been so attractive to the In
dams of nearby villages. As 1t is,
beautifully carved idols have gone to
decorate the door fronts of humble cot.
tages, and polished stones to prop up
modern village of Tiahuanaco, near the
ruins, Is full of stolen souvenirs. Whole
houses and churches are built Of them.
After several centuries of this plum
der the government of Bolivia put a
ban on removing stones from the ruins,
but there was then little left of old
Tiahuanaco. A few stone gods as
huge and angular as any deities Of
Egypt, the sites of a fortress, a palace
and many tombs, all vaguely marked
by worn carved stones are scattered
over great desolate plain. Yet from
these battered relies with their cryptic
carvings the psychologists hope some
day to reconstruct the story Of mys-
FERROUS people.

The Lucky Horseshoe.

It was about the middle Of the sew.
enteenth century that the superstitious
use of horseshoes as emblems Of good
luck originated in England. They were
at first deemed protection against
witches and evil spirits, and were
nailed on doors Of houses, with the
curve uppermost. 1t was the belief
that no witch or evil spirit could en-
ter a house thus guarded. The Gus
tom Of mailing horseshoes to ships and
other sailing craft is still in vogue in
all Engllsh-speaking countries. To find
q horseshoe with An odd number Of
nails attached to It Is considered the
forerunner of good luck, and the more
nails the greater the good fortune that
Is likely to attend the finder. A per-
son about to be married who finds q
horseshoe believes that a happy mat

Measures in Elevators.
Aim Should Be to Destroy Insects Be-

Southern states.

prepared by the United States Depart.
mont Of Agriculture.)
The grain shipper in the Southern
states has to contend with one prob
lem peculiar to that region which ID be-
yond his control. Yet he can Indirect
" exert an influence toward its eradi-
cation. The problem is weevils in corn.
While the matter rests primarily with
the farmer. and while he Is a heavier
loser than the shipper, the business Of
the latter is handicapped.
Against the increase Of live weevils
In corn the shipper can use only pre-
cautionary measures while the grain Is
In his elevator or In transit after ship
ment. The aim should be to destroy
them before the grain is shipped.
When this Ia not done the weevils may
Increase enormously in hot weather,
should the car be delayed in transit OF
not be unloaded promptly on its ar.
rival at the terminal market.
Il the grain, when inspected at the
terminal market, is found to be "ln.
tested with live weevils. or other in
sects injurious to stored grain" 1t will
be graded sample grade under the ap-
plication of the federal grades. Corn
shipped as No. 3, for instance, might
easily fall to sample grade because Of
Its being infested with live weevils.
A point that the grain shipper must
consider is that the corn may 60 into
storage ON Its arrival at a terminal
market. No terminal elevator COM
pany will put corn containing live
weevils into Its bins unless intending
to treat the grain at once In order to
kill the weevils.
While the grain dealer can destroy
the weevils In his elevator OF ware.
house, this does not affect the source
Of supply which is on the farm.
It has been estimated that weevils
cause an average annual loss Of 10 per
cent Of the corn crop in the Southern
states. This loss can he prevented.
