TRAINING APPLICATIONS
CLOSE ON DECEMBER is

A warning has been issued to for
mer service men and women through
out the United States by Joe Sparks,
chairman OF the national rehabilita-
tion committee of the American Le-
gion, that all veterans who desire vo-
cational training and have not made
application must do so under the
present law before December 16.
Those who wait until after this date
will forfeit their right of receiving
this government training. There are
several ways in which this application
can be made. The claimant may make
application by writing a letter ex-
pressing desire to apply for voca-
tional work to any one fthe bureau
offices located throughout the United
States. 1t is necessary for the appli.
cant to sign his name so that the bu-
reau may consider the application as
made by the man himself. 1t is ad-
visable for the applicant to make his
application in person at one of the
district or sub-district offices of the
United States Beterans Bureau, al
though this is not absolutely neces-
sary.
Forms may be obtained at any one
of the bureau offices or from any of
the cooperating agencies such as the
American Legion. the Red Cross or
other veteran organizations. These
forms should be filed out, signed and
forwarded to one of the veteran bu-
reau offices. If a person is so situat-
ed that he is unable to obtain one
of these forms letter will be accept
ed as an application.
Where the postmark of such letter
or the form shows that it was made
on or before December Is the appli-
cation will be considered as where
the man enters the office before the
close of the working day on Decem-
ber Is. Applications mailed later
than this date will be too late.
A person who is in, doubt as to
whether he has a valid application on
file should take steps Immediately to

DEcEMsERIs BEST MONTH
TO STUDY FARM BUSINESS

December is the best time of the
year for the farmer to study his bus
mess, according to w. ID. Nichols,
head of the farm economics depart
ment of the College of Agriculture.
At that time the main field work is
over. the yield. quality and market
price of the farm products are known
and the long nights and weather at
this season OF the yearsare such that
there is limited time for field work.
This gives the farmer a good chance
to look back over the year to make
an invoice of mistakes and successes
and plan ahead for the coming years.
The lead pencil used during the win
ter months to study the farm business
and make plans for the new year is
the greatest labor saving and profit
insuring implement on the farb. Mr..
Nichols says
Farm profits I'm 1923 will be deter
mined to large extent by the care
and thought that is used in planning
and screduling the farm work for the
year. Successful farmers plan their
work at this time of the Sear and
then see to 1t tha their plans work
out in the next twelve months. This
helps them keep ahead of their work
and that is big item in making the
farm pay.
More farmers each year are adopt
ing the plan of keeping record over
the year of farm work done, weather
conditions, dates of killing frosts,
timely rains, extreme drouths, market
variations and other timely data.
Many other farmers add to these rec
ords by using simple system to re-
cord the receipts and expenditures of
the farm business. Such records used
in connection with the inventories
that more and more farmers are max
ing each year help the farmer make
a complete study of the farm busi-
ness.
Scores of farmers are going fur
ther and charging the costs of labor,
materials and other items to the vari-
GUS crops and stock that they were
used In connection with. This helps
them determine with reasonabl accu-
racy the relative profit of the differ
ent farm enterprises. Such calcula-
tions need not be exact. Don the 9th
er hand, estimates can be made rough
ly and with enough accuracy to be
practical. Many successful farmers
also are finding that cost account rec
ords. showing what 1t costs to pro-
duce crops and other farm products,
are helpful in making study of the
farm business"

LIGHTS
OUT? CALL e.;
MEANS REBATE
Police Ask Cooperation of Citizens
In Check on Service; Lights
Cost SOS Year.

= Police heads have evolved
scheme by which they hope to save
the city a considerable amount OF
money on street lighting DIS IN
the future.
Night after night city street
lamps are out. but unless this Is
known and a perfect check main
tanned of the service there is little
likelihood of the city receiving
proper rebates from the People s
Power company.
What is now desired is to have
citizens call the police station by
telephone-R. !. 2S-and report any
street light being out The police
keen checks on the light service
and some citizens have been in the
habit of calling the station when
they notice their corner lights out.
Every month the police report
shows large number of lights
were out for certain periods and
check in hours is also kept. How
ever, this check does not cover the
full number of lights out. and the
city officials realize that the only
way a complete check can be had is
through the cooperation of citizens.
What 1t Costs City.
It costs the city S55 a year for
The large arc lamps and $21 year
for the 100-kilowatt lamps. When
any of these lamps are out the citi-
zens are deprived of a service paid
by the city.
The Peoples Power company
pays these rebates promptly. and
Keeps a man to watch the lights. but
for various reasons the arcs go
bad, and in some cases are out for
two or three nights.

MARKETS SLOW
AS LIGHTHOUSES
SEASON WAVES

Few new products are arriving
on the local markets and dollhouse
varieties that have been taking the
place of the crops in regular sea-
son are commencing TO disappear.
Tomatoes. radishes and cucumbers
are practically gone and will not
appear again until March.
Celery which has been coming
from Michigan will be gone in a
few weeks and will be sent from
California and Florida the remain
der of the winter. Head lettuce

cents a pound. Last week it was
selling at 40 cents. Leaf lettuce is
the same price at So cents a pound
Green onions dropped in price
from 10 cents bunch to two
punches for Is cents. Some of the
finest green beans that have been
received in years have been on the

still 40 cents a pound. Red and
white grapes from California are
the same price The red are 40
cents and the white so cents a
pound.
The price of cranberries has al
mcGt become prohibitive, especial
ly after the biz jump of last week,
when they advanced to AZ cents a
pound from SO cents. The price is
uncertain and it is doubtful Wheth
er they will drop for some time
from this quotation. The big price
is attributed to the small crop this
year.
Hothouse mushrooms are being
received and sell for S1.25 a pound
They are fine quality and come
