On January first every farmer
should take stock, that is. he
should make up an inventory Of
everything he possesses on the
farm that has a money value.
At the same date next year he
should do the same thing. By
comparing the two inventories
he can see whether he is getting
behind. and by analysing the ac-
counts kept as per the sugges-
tons of our last article. he can
see why he is getting ahead or
losing out. Put into the inven-
tory the real estate; the live
stock; the farm implements; the
feed stuff; the accounts due you;
and the cash you have in the
bank. Deduct from the inven-
tory the accounts and notes you
owe. The difference will be your
net worth. Do the same thing
next January and you will have
some figures that will interest
you.
Having gotten a clear under
standing of your condition and a
system of records for keeping up
with it, you have laid the corner

A town that never has any
thing to do in public way is on
the way to the cemetery. Any
citizen who will do nothing for
his town is helping to dig the
grave. A man that ''cusses"
the town furnishes the coffin.
The man who is so selfish as to
have no time from his business
for public affairs is making the
shroud. The man who will not
advertise is driving the hearse.
The man who is always pulling
back from any public enterprises
throws bouquets on the grave.
The stingy man who is always
bowling hard times breaches the
funeral and sings the doxology.
And thus the town lies buried

were twenty-five to fifty stumps
on every acre all over the field
and many Of them had been cul-
tivated thirty years. Stop and
think what this means. This
farmer was losing twelve hum
dred to two thousand square feet
out of every acre on account of
stumps. It costs more money to
skip the stumps than it would
cost to grow a crop where the
stumps stand. Besides, you can
not use your mower and cultiva-
tor in stumps. In fact. you can
not use good. up-to-date tools in
such a field. Where one pair of
lively. medium mules would take
care of 100 acres with modern
tools. you can only dodge in and
around the stumps on about Is

Get the stumps out. You can't
get them all the first year, but

Big Facts In Simple Questions
By Rev. 8. s. Began.
Lost, strayed or stolen Some
score or more church members.
When last seen at church no one
seems to know. If what we
have heard is true, an enemy has
taken them up and branded them
in their forehead with doubt. and
they carry plainly upon their
lives the mark Of indifference to
God and the church, worldly in
fatuation and Sabbath descera-
ton, and in some cases profane
swearingiand vile jestings. Any
one finding these. please return
to the church Sunday, or as soon
as possible. Brethren, if any
of you do err from the truth. and
one movest him: Let him know,
that he which converteth the
sinner from the error of his way
shall save a soul from death, and
shall hide a multitude of sins. =
Do you wonder that some chill
dren object to going to Sunday
School and shun the church en-
tirely? when their parents fail
to go to one or the other. A
generation of non-church goers
is now in the making. In this
generation children and young
folks are handed over to a life of
worldly living. Who is the one
he blamed for this awful condi-
ton? If not Pa and Ma, then
who?

is to change conditions or causes.

Indifference to the church of

owns and deny God. have we any
fright to expect that their child
will love and fear God, honor and
respect the church. and be active
in her service and devoted to her
cause? If you do. you have an
other expect to realize.

Americans are prone to con-
duct investigations after confla-
grations, and loath to enforce
preventative measures. There
IL much talk of juvenile deli
quency. The greatest confagra-
ton of all times and at all times
Is the waste by the fires of ex-
cesses and extravagances of the
youth of the country.
Investigations at penal institu-
tons always develop the sadstory
that the inmates of such institu-
tions for the greater part are
such as were neglected in their
youth. They grew up practical
~ wild. They moved along the
dangerous path from childhood to
maturity without a guiding hand.
y
The great word on life's way
is: Do"
The Boy Scout movement does
not hand the boy a long list of
prohibitions, but a record for
guidance to noble actions.
There are thousands upon
thousands of children throughout
the country today who are being
led along the ways of Don't. I"
Parents practically fail to speak
to them. except when they chide
them.
There is something missing in
the lives of these children. That
great something is a chart and
compass whereby they may shape
their course. The boy and girl
of America is tractable. The
average growing child chooses
its heroes from the great men
and women of the country. There
are few instances, and in these
parents and guardians are usual
" responsible. where: theschild
picks its model from the annals
Of crime.
The future of America rests
upon the adults of today. The
school may guide, but its effect
would be void, if there is count
er effect at home.
We speak of guardian angels
for children. The real guardian
angels of children. appointed by
the Creator Himself, are the pa
rents or their substitutes.
A liberal education Of Ameri-
can parents in guiding children
along life's highway has become
one Of the outstanding necessi-
ties Of our civilization.
If there is something missing
Ia. your child's life, supply it If
you do, there will be less popula-
ton in prisons and reform schools
IN the future. If you don't sup
ply chart and compass to your
child, you may some day regret
that you did not investigate be
