This allows nothing in interest for
the money the renter must provide
for operating expenses.
You will see upon examination that
the only elastic figures here is the 10
per cent managerial charge such as
is always figured and the total labor
charge Of 1886 making a total Of
$348 that the renter may have either
done himself or have hired. From
this he must subtract his loss of STA
and the interest on the money used
say $40, which leaves him working
for less than one half the regular
paid transient labor.

The renters share of a 20 bushel
crop would be $3.50 figuring a cost
Of s1,66 per bushel for raising a 20
bushel crop and showing that it
would require a yield of II bushels
TO simply pay expenses at $500 per
tushel.

Are These Figures Correct?

One item is too high-the average
yield. If you can farm more cheaply,
mail US YOUR figures. Come in and
talk it over. Let us stop kidding
ourselves and face facts. Either We
must laise more wheat, put in a more
economical system of farming or
class ourselves as cheap labor or get
more money for the wheat.
Which will you do? Where is that
%proiteering farmer We read about?
Will your records convince the in
come tax collector that you are not
a profteer?
Records Necessary.
We don't say these figures are alb
solutely correct but the trouble is the
farmers have never been able to sub
nit reliable figures. Business firms
can show a cost sheet that must
be respected. We CAN make a cost
sheet and see that 1T is RESPECT
ED. Let US do it.

A LEAD PENCIL FARMER.
BY Running Business i'm a Business
Way Former Iowa Farm Hand
Made Fortune.

About all that I have / owe t
my banker. He has been the means
of my getting ahead almost from thu
beginning"
Sixteen years ago the speaker, R
G. Shoup, then working as a farm
Rand in Grundy County, Iowa, had
to ask a storekeeper to give him
credit for pair of boots. In March
1919, he moved onto a $4,000 farm
in that county. On it he made a
cash payment of $4,000, in addit.
ion to which his farm capital in
ventories another $4,000.
During all this time the humble
lead pencil has been one of the most
important tools on his farm. When
you ask for credit you must show
your banker exactly how your aft
airs stand, so Mr.. shoup kept close
record of every transaction.
All has not been smooth sailing
for this one-time farm hand, writes
Harry r. O'Brien, in the December
9th issue of The Country Gentle
man. During his first two years as
a renter his crops We're destroyed by
floods, and the persistence with
which he kept plugging away makes
ii seem that perhaps he is too mod
est in giving so much credit for his
success to his banker. In his bust
ness of feeding cattle and hogs, Mr..
Shoup is known as an exceptionally
good judge of livestock.
IL have always used credit for my
capital" he said. IF / need money
for a short time, say sixty days, to
buy feeders, / borrow. When / am
through, | return it. If used my
own money it might be idle awhile
until | could reinvest it,"
Listing the points in this story
to give us a formula for getting
ahead, we find them to be persever-
ance, credit, an always sharpened
lead pencil-and a good wife. Mr..
Shoup was married at the end of
his two bad years with floods and
lad to borrow 500 to pay the eX-
pensese of the big event, but he says
he got his real start in life. on his
wedding day-Northwood Anchor.

A Doggone Shame.

Ralph Towne has a little dairy
farm up the Cedar river three miles
north of Usage in Mitchell county.
He sold it to Jay Hatfield over a
year ago. Towne had a dog, just a
common everyday canine whose an
cestors left it without a pedigree.
The dog remained in it's former
quarters despite the removal of it's
master. Finally Towne put in an
appearance a few weeks ago armed
with a gun and announced that he
had come after the dog and was go
ing to take him either dead or alive.
A quarrel arose as to the ownership
of the dog, and Mrs. Hatfield, seeing
her husband in an alteration ran to
his assistance. Towne struck her ov-
er the head and shoulder with the
gun, cutting her face open and
breaking her arm. He then struck
Hatfield but not injuring him badly
turned to run, with Hatfield and the
hired man in pursuit. Nearby neigh
bors also Joined in the chase, but he
succeeded in reaching the home of a
friend, where he hid until morning
when he telephoned the sheriff to
come for him as he feared violence at
the hands of the neighbors whe were
greatly enraged at him for striking
woman. Towne was indicted on a
charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily injury, to which ne
pleaded guilty, and was assessed a
fine of 5000 and costs. Mrs. Hat
field brought suit against him for
damages, which was settled out OF
court by payment of $1,1OO. or there
about. Towne has sold his farm and
will locate elsewhere, believing that
the feeling against him is such as to
make it unpleasant for him to re-
main in the locality. Dogs have
caused all manner Of grief in this old
world since the memory of man run

Didn't Appreciate the Wood.

Newton, Ia.-Newton business
men who undertook to supply wood
for the city during the coal shortage
stand chance of losing money on
their proposition.
When the situation became des-
perate for coal here, few business
men formed an organization and
established a municipal wood pile.
Wood was hauled in from tract OF
timberland near the city, which was
donated to the city by the owner,
ard s.wed into cord and stove
lengths. With the settlement of the
coal strike the restrictions of the
fuel administrator were removed
which caused big slump in the
wood market, and the municipal
wood pile is passed up.
The hackers of the enterprise are
wondering who is going to pay the
bill of labor, etc.

TOTAL COST OF WAR.
All Nations Spend S1SO,OOO, OOO, 900
During Conflict.

Washington, d. C.-The direct
cost of the world war to all countr-
les involved reached $1S6, 900, O00,-
900, according to the Carnegie En-
dowment for International Peace in
a document ust filed on war costs.
The indirect cost is put at $151,612,-
SAP, b60. The latter total includes
losses to neutrals, which are put at
$1,75O, 100000. 1t also includes
loss of production, put at s45, 000.-
100000, and war relief estimated at
$1,000, 100000.
The capitalized value of soldier
human life, also given among the in
direct costs, is placed at $40, 531,726
ESQ. The property losses are divid
ed as follows: On land, $4,000, 000,-
600; to shipping and cargo, $6,S00,-

The report which was gathered by
Ernest r. Bogart, professor of eco
Monies in the University of Illinois,
in estimating the capitalized value o.
human life," fixes the worth of the
individual at figures ranging from
$2,200 in Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece,
Japan, Romania, Serbia and several
other countries. up to $4,72O for the
United States, where the economic
worth OF the individual to the nation
is placed at the highest.
An additional $3S,551, 100000 al
lowed for civilian losses. Attic many
of the latter were of children and
old persons, the estimate given for
the civilian loss is believed to be con-
sentative.
The number of known dead is plac-
ed at 9,99S,771, and the missing pre-
sumed to be dead, at 2,991,S00. To
the losses from deaths and wounds
there is added chose resulting from
diseases. pestilence privation, hard
ship, physical exhaustion and similar

Use Care in Cutting Timber.

Sordwood in large quantities is be-
ing cut in all parts of the state in
order to help solve the fuel situat
ion.
There are no regulations as to the
amount or kind of wood to cut, but
care should be taken in selecting
trees to be felled as the state has al
ready passed thru two crises and it
is desirable to have reserve for an
other.
One and half million cords of
wood were consumed in Iowa in
1914. Three million cords or the
equivalent OF one million tons of
coal were burned in 1918. Different
woods vary in heating value from
the equivalent of one ton of coal to
about 1900 pounds of ordinary coal.
These figures are based on dry wood,
A period of nine to twelve months
is required to season thoroughly the
hardwood species and they should
not be cut for immediate use, The
setter woods, such as cottonwood,
soft maple and willow. season much
more rapidly and these should be
cut for quick consumption. Larger
trees should generally be chosen in
preference to sound small trees.
Wood should be split as soon AZ
possible after the logs are cut be-
cause the seasoning process is there
by fastened.

DEFUNIAK CENSUS IS

that the recount is gong far ahead OF

A committee of farmers living near
Nelson affiliated with the nonpartisan
party has been defending that party
in mild and inoffensive manner
through the columns OF the Nelson
Leader. One of the signers of the ar
ticles is a man who stands high in the
regard of all who know him. He is
square in his dealings, honorable in
his relations with his fellow men and
most worthy citizen. How such
man can be led to follow the socialistic
tenets of the new party is beyond all
understanding. especially as he is
large land owner, possessions that he
has earned by his individual efforts
and the sweat of his brow. Possessions
that the cOmmunistic leaders of the
party for which he picks up the guage
Of battle will take away from him and
nationalize should they ever gain the
upper hand. We mention one member
of this committee because We know
him and more especially members of
his family, and better people we do
not know. 1t is the presumption tina:
his two associates are in the same
class. We believe these men have been
blinded by Misrepresentation and that
when their eyes are opened they will
repudiate the party which they now
attempt to defend. We should think
the nominations made by this party at
Seattle should open their eyes as 10

them to hesitate before endorsing the
