FORBES ADVOCATES
UNIVERSITY PLANS
Veterans Bureau Head Re-
ports to President on the
Training of Disabled.

Provision of government voca
tional university is the only cure for
the misdirected training of ex-service
men. which has failed to send them
back as assets in their communities.
Col. Charles r. Forbes. director of
the veterans Bureau. told the Presi-
dent in report made public today.
AS a result of his recent country
wide investigation, Col. Forbes said
he had found that disabled soldiers
ana sailors are not being trained for
pursuits that will fit them for a life
OF usefulness. They will be retired
to their respective communities but
little assisted by the government.
Lack Of Desired Records.
Il have taken occasion to look into
the character of training being offer
ed. ne said and the type of school
offering such training have noted
with grave apprehension the sub
jects selected which, if studied with
the utmost diligence, would not r.
turn the soldier to the community as
an asset and as a Self-supporting
citizen. l have discovered that thou
sands of persons are taking training
Tor which the goyeI nment has no
record as to the time devoted to their
studies and work, nor as to the re-
suits accomplished by such training
Il have further noted with con-
Germ that great numbers of trainees
change their courses of study during
short intervals. No definite and we'll
defined course of study is mapped out
Tor them-or more often changes are
made because of the unsatisfactory
type OF training received.
THE practical results of vocational
training thus far have been most dis
couraging-we will soon witness the
third anniversary of the signing of
vocational training and yet only 5000
out of the total have been rehabili-
tated to become useful citizens"
Col. Forbes pointed out to the
President that vocational training, to
be effective. must be supervised. and
then mapped out an extensive pro-
gram for turning Camp Sherman. ILL.,,
into vocational university.
The government, by establishing
such a center tor training. could eX-
ercise beneficial control over the
trainees physical and moral welfare.
he told the President. Many disabled
persons now taking training need the
studied and beneficial attention that
should be given for their physical
well being. Calisthenics and forms
OF light exercise could be given these
disabled persons and their bodies
made strong. Their moral welfare
would be looked after, chaplains
could be assigned to each vocational
center and sites selected where COM
munity life and environment would
be conductive to life of high ideals
He said that ninety days after the
camp was turned over to the bureau
it would be ready for trainees. and
that the beneticiaries of the bureau
would be used in the work of trans
formation.

GETS FREEDOM AS
HIS 1920 CHRIST.
MAS GIFTS HOME
FORMER LOCAL BLACKSMITH
HAD GOOD RECORD IN PRIS-
ON AND ENJOYS LIBERTY

Ed. Anthony. who used to operate
a blacksmith shop on West Main st.
and who was charged with a serious
crime against young boy convict
ed on the charge and sentenced to
from two to five years in the Michi-
gan Reformatory at Ionia, was given
his liberty just before Christmas and
was in this city on Tuesday morning
looking after few matters which he
had to settle here. Among them was
bill for eight dollars which he owed
here and he paid it with money earn
ed while employed as foreman in the
mat department of the prison, at SIS
per month.
Mr.. Anthony says he was a model
prisoner in the institution and that
never, during the nineteen months of
his confinement, was it necessary for
any of the officials to correct him
and that this together with the fact
that it was recently found on exam
ination while he was in the prison
hospital, that he was physically un-
able to commit the crime lodged
against him, won him his freedom.
Mr.. Anthony says that while he
was in prison, he met our friend w.
j. Myers, an over enthusiastic ex-
soldier of the Canadian army, who
spoke at a Labor day celebration
here several years ago and who had
lot of us local people listening to
the great war tales told by himself
while he was here and that they be-
came quite well acquainted. Myers
was sent up for stealing and dispos-
ing of automobiles and through the
fact that he has not been a very
model prisoner, he has undoubtedly
a considerable time to serve yet. Mr..
Anthony said, however, that in spite
of Myers many faults, the rest of
the prisoners liked him very well.
Mr.. Anthony is going to engage
in business either here or in Ionia.

OUARRELEO OVER
40 YEARS AGO
HAVE MADE UP
LOCAL MAN AND BROTHER IN
WEST DECIDE TO START
NEW YEAR RIGHT

Amos Harris. Belongs only col
bridge, South Dakota, to visit his
brother and other relatives and ex-
poets to spend the winter there. He
has been a resident here for the past
ten years and during the time has
purchased eight lots in North Park
addition and built him a small house
where he has lived alone, working at
odd jobs, ditching, coal heaving, and
etc. Amos is 72 years old and was
product of the south before the war
in slavery days. After the war his
brother, Ezekiel, now 81 years old,
went west, took up land in South Da-
kota and has become well off. "Zeke"
and Amos had a little misunderstand-
ing over some trivial matter more
than forty years ago and have not
seen each other since the family jar
Amos got to thinking that time with
him and his brother was about COM
ing to a close so far as this earthly
life is concerned and he dictated
letter to "Zeke" a few weeks ago,
telling him that he would like to see
him once more in the flesh and that
so far as he was concerned all past
differences of opinion and old scores
was dropped from his memory and
asked Szekiel's forgiveness, renewal
of friendship and brotherly love. A
week later Amos received a letter
from his brother, telling him to come
and he would "kill the fatted calf"
on his arrival and celebrate Christ
mas and the New Year with an old
fashioned jollification. To pursue
this story a little further "Zeke"
Harris has a son, Jerome, living near
him and a number of years ago he
fell in love with the daughter of Red
Cloud, one of the most accomplish
ed indian maidens in that part of
South Dakota, she also fell in love
with him and they were married.
They have three children and ever
since that event he has been known
as Jerome Red Cloud instead of Har-
ris. Jerome also wrote his uncle
Amos to come to South Dakota and
he would show him land and horses
and cattle that would beat Michigan
all to pieces and introduce him to 8
of the smartest and best looking
children in the west, two of whom
are in the university.

KEEPING FARM RECORDS AID
TOBETTER USES. AND PROFIT
Need Not Be System Has Greater Chance
for Proving of Value---Both happenings and Money
Affairs Should Be Recorded

important things, such as the flock
of poultry Of the orchard, produce
nearly as much as the obviously i'm
portant.
A single years figures will occa-
sionally indicate that the farming
business is not being managed prop
erly or that some phase of it is radi-
cally wrong. They may show where
the net expense of one farm enter
prise are a great drain on the net
cash returns made by the others. All
phases of such an enterprise should
be carefully studied and, unless the
loss can be assigned to a bad season
temporarily adverse market condi-
tions, epidemics, or similar unusual
conditions, it may often be dropped
with profit.
At some regular time each year
usually about the first of the calen-
dar year-a farm inventory should
be made. In any system of account
ing the inventory is absolutely es-
sential. as upon it is based the divi-
sion of one years business from an
other. The inventory is simply a
statement showing what the land,
buildings, equipment, live stock, sup
plies and produce on hand are worth
at the time the record is made, to-
gether with amount of cash on hand
and money owing to and owed by the
farmer. 1t is list Of farm proper
ty and farm debts, and corresponds
to the "stock taking" which every
merchant does periodically.
Taken alone, the inventory will
show a farmer the exact net value of
his property, and will be guaranty
of solvency and an aid in securing
credits and loans from the bank in
time Of need. The inventories of two
dates, year apart, show whether
progress or retrogression has oc-
Cured during the year and definitely
measure the degree of change.
Taken in conjunction with a cash
account for the year, the inventory
shows how much has been made by
farming and to what extent the per-
sonal and household expenses have
Offset profits. 1t also gives a much
better insight into the income pro-
duced by each farm department, as
a decrease in inventory value of hogs
for instance, may Offset to some ex-
tent what, from the cash account,
looks like very large income from
that source.
The Belding banner-news. (Belding, Mich.) 1918-1973, 1921-01-05

In order to know what progress is
being made in farm operations and
to determine what crops or branches
of farming are producing the great
est profits, it is necessary for the
farmer to keep a system of accounts
say specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The prac-
tice will not of itself turn Q poor
farm into rich one, a poor farmer
into a good one, or losses into profits
but farm records, if accurately kept
and intelligently utilized, are an aid
to better understanding and insight
into the farming business.
The keeping of accounts need not
take a great amount of time nor is
it necessary to have an elaborate
system. In fact, the specialists say,
the greater the chance for it to prove
of value.
Farm records may be roughly di-
vided into two heads-records of
happenings and records of money
transactions. The former proves
useful when memory fails. Among
the happenings that should be re-
corded are the dates when animals
are bred, men hired or discharged,
accidents occur, pasture season be-
gins and ends, first and last frosts
occur, incubators are set, spring
work begins and fall work ends, seed
time and harvest occur, etc. Such
notes as these, when systematically
recorded and constantly referred to
are of much value.
The most important use many
farmers make of the records of cash
received and paid out Is as a means
of checking up bills when sent in to
see whether all payments have been
duly credited. While this alone is
only small part of the value which
can be derived from such records, it
will frequently justify the time re-
quired to keep them.
When the years record is made the
cash amount can be assembled under
headings that will show exactly what
each branch of the farm activities
returned in cash and what each re-
quired to keep it going. Some farm
ers are apt to judge the Importance
of the various farm projects by the
time required to put them through.
To such a complete cash record for
year, properly assembled, will be
an eye opener. Often seemingly un-
