"'This is the frst black eye the

that Mr.. John Drackett of Morgan

their own thought, and not by the

Creeping Barrage Splendidly
Shown.
Remarkable Scene In 1.-THE Great.
est Thing in Life"

A great deal has been written about
that wonderful device of modern war
fare-the creeping barrage. For the
first time a creeping barrage has been
put on the screen with really graphic
details by D. w. Griffith in his new
photoplay 1.-THE Greatest Thing in
Life" in which Lillian Gish has the
stellar part, and which will be shown
at the opera house next Friday,
March 81.
1t is a remarkable battle scene. No
printed words can adequately des
cribe this curtain Of fire under the
protection of which our Yank boys
have repeatedly marched into the Hun
trenches. You can see the heavy
smoke clouds sweeping forward as
though by the force Of some unseen
giant hand moving steadily toward
the enemy trenches on q hill crest.
You can see the shells exploding. 1t
is so vivid that you can almost hear
the crash.
Through the curtain of cloud a
bombing aeroplane takes its perilous
flight; now up almost in the real
clouds; now darling like an angry
wasp through the smoke and reek OF
the battle just above the trenches.
The creeping barrage is develop
ment of this war. Before the days OF
such intensive artillery fire such a
tactical device was never dreamed Of.
This is the first INSTALLATION avail.
able to those at home.

SUPPOSED LETTER FROM CHRIST

The following clipped from an eX-
change, has been handed The Grit
Advocate by one Of our readers, with
q request to publish.
According to the history Of the
letter, it was written by Christ Just
after his crucifixion, signed by the
Angel Gabriel ninty-nlne years after
the Savior'E birth and presumably
deposited by him under a stone al
tho foot Of the cross.
On this stone appeared the legion:
Blessed is he VINO shall turn me
over"
No one knew what the inscription
meant. or seemed to have sufficient
curiosity for investigation. until the
stone was turned over by little child
and the letter which follows discov-
erred:
"W hoSoever works on the Sabbath

WHY KEEP ACCOUNTS?

Keeping farm accounts is not only
an advantage: it is necessity. Since
farming people have to make income
tax returns Just the same as other
business people, it is absolutely es-
sential to have figures upon which
to base reports. Hence every farmer
ought to keep accounts The time
necessary to keep accounts on the
farm need not amount to more than
SIX hours year. At the end of the
year the banker or county agricultural
agent will be ready to help in balanc-
ing the books, or taking the inventory
which is necessary.
There are at least four important
reasons why men on farms should
keep accounts. The main one is to
have Il definite method of studing the
business with the idea of making
it more profitable If farmers were
t" produce wheat or other farm pro-
ducts without profit, soon arri-
culture would suffer.
A second reason for accounts and
farm records is that they improve a
from carefully kept records that the
money he wishes to borrow is to be
used for a purpose that will increase
the profits of the farm, then he will
be able to get a loan more readily
on better terms.
A third reason for accounts is that
they often are the means of agree
ably settling disputes or misundcr-
st""dings that otherwise might occur
between parties who deal with one
another and who never keep any re-
cord Of their business transactions.
A fourth reason. and not the least
important, is that a man owes it to
his family to make use of every means
possible to detect and prevent leaks
in the farm business, and thus make
the farm income sufficient for the
support of the family and the sduca
ton of his children.
Farmers who are keeping books can
take advantage of the ruling of the
United States Treasury Department
which provides as follows:
FARMERS who keep books accord
ing to some ap. covcd method which
clearly shows the net income. and
take annual inventories, may, if the
same methoi is consistently followed
from year to year, prepare their re-
turns III accordance with the show
ing made by the books and the in
vcntories. f-Hrom Farm journal"
