Auto WEAKNESS.


My car is always on the blink, it's
conducts always coarse and raw; it
would have driven me to drink, long
since, but for the Volstead law. On
vernal morning, bright and cool, go
rejoicing for spin; and in the dusk
farmers mule is hired to haul my
tumbril in. The grim mechanics ply
their trade, and mend the divers bust
ed parts, and then collect what coin
I've made, and blow it in the changing
marts. And evermore hear my fri
ends tell auto yarns, in joyous notes;
oh, nothing ever breaks or bends about
the other fellows boats! Year after
year they bowl along, and cost no
money for repairs, and nothing's ever
going wrong, no sparaplug misses un-
awares. They climb up hills, the
owners say, without knock or kind
red sound, and I get stuck on every
brae, in every mudhole am drowned.
It is the other fellows bus that never
gets it's water warm, that ambles
forth, without fuss, it's many wond-
ers to perform. 1t is the other fell
lows van that's better now than when
twas new; have the only also ran
that ever made driver blue. But
can it be the other guys, who brag in
such lofty tone, are handing me de-
natured lies-have they some troubles
of their own? Behind the mugs that
bravely shine are there lot of cark-
ing cares? Are other boats as bad as
mine, and break their owners for re-
pairs walt Mason.

For Clerical
Free Speech.

Editorial in the Emporia Gazette.
The fight for free speech in the
Episcopal church in America has been
won. Bishop Williams of Detroit was
indicated by the diocesan convention
of his church which went on record
as "unqualifedly for the American
right Of free speech on tie part of
the bishop and the clergy
This action was precipitated by the
resignation of Bishop Charles D. Will
liams of the diocese of Detroit, one
of the best-known and most fearless
liberal churchmen in the country,
when he was facing criticism of a
solemn statement of his beliefs con-
corning the obligations of the church
toward social and industrial problems.
The convention refused to consider his
retirement and approved resolutions
supporting his right to speak freely
on subjects that have been declared
taboo by the Manufacturers associa-
ton and other organizations of labor

Livestock Cost
Accounting Pays.

Under present market conditions it
becomes more necessary than ever,
says w. III. Peters, head of the ami
NAL husbandry division at University
Farm, that the stock grower should
know what it is costing him to pro.
duce the different types of stock ora
his farm, A separate account, in tho
opinion Of Mr.. Peters, should be kepS
for each kind of stock, the following
items featuring each account:
/. An inventory of the stock at tina
beginning of the year.
2. All feeds used and these should
be charged for at the prices prevail
ing locally at the time of year when
they would have been marketed had
they not been fed to the stock.
8. A fair rental for all pasture land
used.
A. The cost Of all animals purchased
during the year. ;
5. Interest, depreciation and insur-
ance on the equipment other than tho
stock itself.
s. Insurance on the stock, if carr
ried.
z. Labor used in caring for stock,
Scare should be TAKEN" says Mr..
Peters, lin making the inventory, es-
timating as accurately as possible the
amount and value of feeds consumed
and the amount of labor used. Ii is
seldom practical to weigh all feeds
used, but the amounts can be astimat-
ed accurately enough SO that the cost
record will be reliable.
"Then in striking a balance at the
end of the year careful inventory OF
all stock should be made again and
this, together with the money received
frcm sales and a reasonable allowance
!; for n,anare produced. should be totaled
for the credit side. a. he items list
ed above should be toL;,!e.! for the de-
bit or cost side. Tn credit tatal
minus the debit or cost total will re-
present the interest or dividend on the
capital invested in the stock.
"Such an account will show weak
nesses in the average method of hand
ling livestock and The places where
costs have been too high, also some
possibilities for reducing costs in the
future. The paying and non-paying
types of livestock viii be disclosed.
No manufacturer can make his busi-
ness pay without an accurate SYSTEM
of cost accounting. It is at least rea-
senable TO, assume that a careful sys-
tenn Of accounts will help materially

Why Is Money Scarce?

It is not money but credit that is
scarce. The per capita circulation
has more than doubled since the be-
ginning of the war and at the end of
the year, the Federal Reserve Note
circulation Of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Minneapolis was about the
same as on Dec. 81, 1919. Deposits
in banks are not money but credit,
and a bank loans credit more FREE
quently than money. In a great ma
jority Of cases the farmer who bor-
rows from the bank does not re-
ceive bills or coin, but received the
right to draw checks to a given
amount. Credit and money are
similar in one important respect. A
given amount Of money will go only
so far and when it is spent it is gone.
The credit of an individual at his
bank is definite and measurable
thing. It amounts to so much and no
more. When mans credit has been
employed, it is gone and cannot be
replaced except by the payment Of
his obligations. II it were possible
by any artificial means or by legisla-
ton to create, it would be possible
to inject credit into a cordwood
stick. By reason of the fact that
many thousands Of farmers and very
many business men have reduced
their credit at their banks until they
have little or none left, credit has
become scarce, while money is still
plentiful. The credit which has been
used or spent" is represented by
unpaid notes in the banks. The far
mer and business man cannot have
it back until he is prepared to reduce
his bank obligations and thereby set
free portion of his credit for cur
rent uses. The ability Of any bank
to extend credit is limited by it's
capital, surplus and deposits, and by
its credit line with it correspondents
at the Federal Reserve Bank. In
the same way the ability of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank to extend credit
is limited by the amount of it's CAPT
to- surplus and member bank de-
rnsits, and by the amount of money
it can rightfully borrow in view of

batting employers.
Early in April Bishop Williams
made memorable address before the
aristocratic congregation of the cath
edral of st. John the Divine in New
York city. This wonderful edifice was
erected with the money of million
aries, including j. P. Morgan.
Bishop Williams declared that the
United States is today in the control
of an invisible government" and that
we are in a reign of commercial con-
science and the rule Of the American
business man." He denounced the
boycott of financial drive of the Y
w. C. A. by Pittsburgh employers as
one of the "foulest pages in Americas
history"
Big business carried it's grievance
to the diocesan convention in Detroit
where Bishop Williams restated his
principles and again referred to the
employers boycott of the Y. W. C. A.
campaign.
The challenge is plain, he said.
Either the church must abandon
the well-considered, fair and
sane message which she has
formulated on social and econ
omic questions and suppress her
proclamation Of it, a thing un-
thinkable for anyone who has
conscience and convictions, or she
must enlarge and democratize the
basis of her support so as not to
be dependent on or subservient to
any class, high or low; or she
must be content with more Gag
er support and restricted opera
tions.
Her Master was poof and perse
cuted, but free, and it may be that
He is now calling His Church to
follow in His footsteps.
Later, at an executive session behind

closed doors, after he had offered his
resignation, Bishop Williams said:
Ny own choice is made. must
abide by it. / cannot promise to
refrain in the future from speak
ing as have spoken in the past.
But am not willing to embarrass
the diocese or hinder its work.
The resolution refusing to permit
Bishop Williams to retire concluded
with the statement that this conven-
ton desires to go on record as stand
ing unqualifedly for the American
right of free speech on the part of the
bishop and the clergy, regardless OF
our respective individual points Of
view, believing with confidence in the
ultimate power Of the gospel of Christ
and desiring only that shall prevail in
all the phases Of our modern ife."
When man as radical in his be-
liefs and as dauntless in his express
sion Of them is upheld by as conser-
vative a body as the Episcopalian
church, it is well for those outside the
church to stop the chatter about the
hide bound conservation of churches.
As matter of fact the Presbyterians,
the Methodists and the Congregations
alists in their national bodies have
made declarations of principles as adj
vanced as Bishop Williams and the
whole tendency of modern organized
religion is for social and economic
liberalism far ahead Of that Of either
the Republican or Democratic parties.
Indeed the Y. w. G: A. has been de-
nounced as socialistic by certain
groups of conservatives. The politi-
cal parties of America are far behind
the churches of America in their lib
eralism.

Success.


It's doing your job the best you can
And being just to your fellowman;
It's making money, but holding fri
ends,
And staying true to your aims and
ends;
It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking
high,
And dreaming little and doing
much;
It's always keeping in closet touch
With what is finest in word and
deed;
It's being thorough, yet making
speed;
It's struggling on with will to
win,
But taking loss with a cheerful
grin;
It's sharing sorrow and work and
mirth
And making better this good old
earth;
It's serving, striving through strain
and stress,
It's doing your noblest-that's
