WHAT FARM RECORDS SHOW
Accurate Cost Accounting Means Real
knowledge

Cost accounting Is needed on oui
farms as well as In business houses,
said Oscar SteansOn, professor o.
agriculture In the Abilene high school
"Some farm cost accounting RECORDS
have been published for Jackson
county for the past year ending June
1. Detailed costs were kept on %
farms.
There were 80 horses ION these
farms or an average Of 40 horses per
farm. Not counting Sundays, these
horses averaged 20 hours Of work
per day. The average cost Of keep
ing a horse for a year was about
$12O, about lac per hour Of labor
These figures show the necessity Of
getting maximum efficiency from
horse labor.
1.-THE cost Of producing crops on
these 20 Jackson county farms were
as follows: Alfalfa, 1870 per ton;
corn about 20 cents per bushel and
oats 80 cents per bushel.
1.-THE farm cost figures are differ
ent for Dickinson county than they
are for Jackson county. Can you
make an accurate estimate Of your
farm costs as basis for change in
your farm practice? This, together
with income tax returns, form two
important reasons for keeping simple
farm records"

HOOK AND LINE MUST DO
Many Kansans Paying For Violation
of Fish Laws

Flood waters of many Kansas
rivers and creeks which caused fish
in general, or at best those at all at
fected with wanderlust, to frequent
places where fish ordinarily do not
travel, has brought about a demand
of the attorney general for informa-
ton as to the provisions Of the new
Kansas fishing law enacted by the
last legislature. incidentally, in a
number Of places. men not particular
as to the contents of the law have
come to >grief and deputy wardens
throughout the state have caused
many arrests Of men caught spear
ing, hooking or otherwise capturing
specimen Of the finny tribe in viola
ton of the law.
In Manhattan a number of men
have been fined for violating the fish
law. The warden found them using
spears and shotguns in overlooked
fields. Two of these offenders hadn't
even captured any fish when they
were hailed into court and fined
$1S.75. In some localities seiners
have been apprehended and paid hard
earned cash for the enlightenment
they got about the game laws. 1t Is
true that the new law provides for
SEEMING, but the regulations are both
numerous and definite.

NOW FOR A POSTMASTER
Order Is Issued For Abilene on July
26-Same System Followed

The order for an examination
for postmaster at Abilene for July II
has been issued by the postmaster
general. While II is termed a "civi
service examination" It IL exactly
like the former one under the VIII
son administration except that the
selection Is to be out of the three
highest instead Of taking the one
showing up best. 1t states that the
APPLICANTS will not be required to re-
port for examination at any place.
They will fill out blank telling
their history and setting forth their
claimed qualifications and these will
be rated on a basis Of 20 per cent
for education and training" and 80
per cent for business experience
and fitness" No one over 65 years
old may apply.
After the application blanks are
sent in. agents OF the department
will come to Abilene II necessary
and inquire about the candidates and
make recommendation OF the three
they select and the appointment will
be made for one OF these. 1t Is pro-
bable that Congressman Strong will
have something to say about 1t and
1t is fair guess that Republican
will be selected, unless there are no
Republicans applying. AS there are
several patriots in the party 1t Is
likely that some will offer them
selves as sacrifice to the $2,7OO
job. Nothing in the order gives any
preference to ex-service men.
1t is a pretty fair guess that the
next postmaster can be named right
now. A similar examination" was
ordered a year ago and half dozen
applicants sent in their papers but
nothing ever happened and finally
Roy Shearer, who is officially assis-
ant postmaster and will retain that
,lace under the civil service rules,
vas made acting postmaster which
position he will fill until postmas-
er is named.

SUNSHINE IN HER DARKNESS
Miss Lovelia Hilty, Enterprise Girl,
Serves Though Blind

Many Abilene friends OF Mis-
Lovclia Hilty, formerly Of Enterprise
have been charmed by her music. Al
though blind, Miss Ililty Is the spin
of optimism personitied. Never have
ner uarkencd eyes seen the beauty o.
nature or looked upon the faces OF
loved ones, yet to her the sunshine
and trees and flowers are beautiful
and from the smiles OF those about
her she gets fuil value.
Miss Iilty has never seen Topeka
her home, but unassisted and with
out the tapping Of cane she makes
her way unerringly about the city
wherever her profession calls. Pro
tesslon?" Yes. From childhood, eye2
though handicapped by blindness, she
has worked hopefully and unfalter-
ingly in her belief and trust that
some day she would be able to do
something for herself, be indepen-
dent, and perhaps, " her dreams were
realized, be able to lift some Of her
fellow sufferers out Of the gruesOme
world OF darkness into life Of SER
vice. She has gone on almost for
getting self in her endeavor to be
able to help others.
For a short time Miss Hilty at
tended the school for blind In Kansas
City, Kan. II didn't like 1t there"
she said, $50 attended public school
and lack just about one credit Of be-
ing graduated from Topeka high
school,"
Music has been her specially. I'm
agine the difficulties that sightiess
person would encounter in learning
to play the piano or violin. How ted
ious the task Of reading the notes by
the touch of the fingers, how irksome
the process Of mastering the piano
keyboard and positions on the violin.
But through untiring effort she has
her profession as q teacher Of music.
Il play the piano more for my own
she said, land my
Of music is limited to violin
and voice."
Il make speciality Of beginners"
said Miss Hilty, land prefer children
for they forget that l cannot see and
give all their attention to my instruc-
ion"
Unwilling to serve only as teach
,r Of music she spends much Of her
line teaching other sightless folks
low to read and write.
Miss Hilty has been in many Of
he large cities of this country, visit
ng factories of other associations
where blind folks work. Through her
.fforts, assisted by her sightless
friends, the Topeka association has
,een formed, of which she has been
elected president.
AS Il start toward vocational train
ng for every blind person in Topeka,
he Association Of Blind for Service
lready has ordered supply of ma
erial and as soon as 1t arrives
asscs will be started in basketry
nd wicker work. The classes pro-
ably will be held in the Manual
raining building of the high school.
Aside from the vocational class
work and professional training in

GOT REAL PRICE FOR WHEAT
Collects Hail Insurance, Then Gets
Eight Bushels An Acre


Hutchinson, June 24.-S. A. Poe, q
Hutchinson grain man, reported yes
terday the case of Rice county
farmer who is harvesting an average
Of about eight bushels of wheat pei
acre from wheat which had been Ito
tally destroyed" by hail.
This farmer had 400 acres OF
wheat in the country near Mitchell
Rice county, which was devastated
by hail storm some weeks ago. The
day before the storm he had taken
out insurance in two hail companies
for 1924 per acre, estimating he
would have twenty-four bushel
average crop.
The hail hit the next day, and the
adjusters agreed that his loss was
total, and made settlement with him
for the full amount, $4,000. Deiuct-
ing $40 premium, left him $4,000
for his wheat crop. This would have
figured out a gross return Of $3.50
per bushel for his wheat crop, while
wheat is today worth but $1.05 per
bushel.
But the strangest part Of the story
is this: According to Mr.. Poe the
wheat on this hail beaten land, where
the heads had been literally threshed
off the stalks by the severe, pelting
hail, proceeded to grow out again,
and fair crop has grown up, and the
farmer is this week harvesting eight
bushels of grain per acre.
In other words his hail devastated
farm, besides returning him $4,000
hail insurance, is giving HIM 5000
bushels of ..heat worth 1890 more
on today's market, or a total Of $12,-
900
