Classification of Accounts.

While an inventory is generally the
first thing banker asks for when
making loan he also wants to know
the sources of income. BY going just
little further the farmer can keep
records that will enable him to know
his profits and losses. This requires a
classification of accounts in which GER
tain principles should be followed. The
precise classification to be used is de-
termined by the prevailing conditions
on the farm in question.

phases of farm bookkeeping are con-

Mondays Game

The Bench and Mill teams inaugu-
rated the season, and it was a close
and exciting contest and kept the
spectators in a continual roar. FL
mer Aston started to serve for the
Bench, but his curves and slants were
pudding for the Mill boys and he re-
tired in the fourth stanza and Jack
Soran took his place. When the
change was made the Mill was in the
lead, but Jacks twisters had am
and few errors by the
MiH allowed the Bench to forge ahead
and win. Score to 6.
Joe Campbell did the twirling for
the mill and Bill Moulton received.
both did good work. For little fell
low, that boy Moulton pegs the ball
to the bases ike q Lacquer and few
were successful in stealing bases on
him. Hits were plentiful, with few
'wo and three baggers. Babe Ruth
Scott had the distinction Of getting
he first homer on the new grounds.

HITTING OF
NO AVAIL
Caldwell Takes Sundays Game
With 7 to 5 Score = Try
Out New Men.

Despite the fact that Emmett was
on the small end of the z to score
in the game with Caldwell Sunday,
the Prune Pickers played good game
and had the Caldwellites worrying
the greater part Of the session. The
boys slammed the bah with a reck-
lessness that was really refreshing.
Jack Soran ratified the boards in
Caldwell park fence with hit that
lacked but few inches of being n
homer. Another time he hit to deep
center, but was caught oct in a spec
tacular catch by Caldwells center
fielder
Emmett presented new lineup,
Tom Eggieston taking first, Bigbee
ut short, Gray at second and Frank
Hunt at the receiving end Of PEN
sons siants, and they all played good
ball. Only four famed Penxon is
credited with seven strikeouts The
Tribune's report of the game is as
follows:
Caldwell added another to its string
of baseball victories Sunday when the
Emmett team, cellar occupants, sue
cumbed TO the onslaught of the Cald-
well swatsmiths The score was rs.
AS usual, faulty support behind
Braskamp permitted Emmett to pile
up five runs, all unearned, in the first
four innings. With Penson going
good, Emmett looked like a certain
winner. Bad bobbles from Caldwell
infelders, paved the way for all OF
Emmett's scores, the local team con-
tributing to the error column 1G times
during the matinee, Nelson alone of
the inner garden defense going thru
without a bobble. Sherman contrib
uted four to the miscue column, Cor
nell booted three and Benedict made |
two wild heaves
After four innings of rotten base |
ball, the Caldwell team settled down |
and played IN their usual Aps1usatt
chasing form. In the last half of the
fourth, the locals clouting machinel
got into action. Hits by Benedict,
Nelson and Sherman netted three /
runs. Sherman's hit was good for
three bases when the throw went /

1t was almost the same combina-
ion which proved Emmett's undoing
n the sixth inning. After Benedict

nan hit safely in succession and Bras
lamp got on when the first baseman
missed an easy throw. When the
moke had cleared, "Brassie" was on
bird and three runs had crossed the
ubber. Braskamp scored a minute
ater on wild pitch.
Emmett continued to hit the ball

EMMETT BOY KILLED
BY PLAYMATE
Terrible Tragedy Occurs by Ac-
cidental Discharge of Rifle
John Phillips Victim

John Phillips, 11-year-old son Of o
S. Phillips, proprietor of the Emmett
Pressary, was killed yesterday after
noon at the Elmer Hess residence
west of town by the accidental dis
charge of a % calibre rifle in the
hands of his playmate, Earl Wilker-
son, son of Mr.. and Mrs. William Wil-
kerson of this city. The bullet struck
young Phillips under the shoulder
blade on the left side Of the upper
portion of his chest, severing the sub
clavian artery aDd he bled to death
within 10 minutes.
The two boys, close friends, chums
and almost perpetual playmates left
home Monday to spend a weeks va
cation on the Elmer Hess ranch. Light
hearted and happy they set forth,
with no forebodings of the terrible
tragedy that was to snuff out the life
of one and break the heart of the
other. Wednesday morning they went
out with the rifle to shoot frogs in
the sloughs, returning for dinner. AZ
ter meal time, the Wilkerson boy re-
membered that he had not removed
shell from the rifle and proceeded
to do SO. Young Phillips stood dir
ectly in front of him. Without warn
ing there was a report, and with
scream John Phillips sank to the
floor, the blood squirting in stream
from a wound in his shoulder. Mrs.
Hess hurriedly picked him up, sum-
moned aid, and endeavored to stop the
flow of blood, but her efforts were
without avail and the boy died in her
arms.
CraZed with grief over the death of
his friend, Earl Wilkerson would have
sent bullet into his own heart had
not the Hess's forcibly wrested the
gun from his hands and Gained his
troubled mind. No blame is attached
to him. 1t was one Of those TRACE
dies that occasionally come through
thoughtlessness and carelessness
when boys are permitted to handle |
firearms. To both the father and the |
Wilkerson family, the accident has
brought heart-breaking grief and sor-
row. Father and son had been resi-
dents of Emmett two or three years.
They were inseparable companions
and chums Their devotion to each
other was of such nature as to be a
matter or comment and admiration.
John was good boy, well behaved,
a lover of outdoor life and the sports
of NOT only boys but of older persons.
He was a familiar figure on Main
street and his smiling, happy face
and CHEEKY manner will be missed es-
pecially by the business men. To his
grief stricken father the hearts of
Inc community go out in the deepest
