While the progressive American
farmer is using double-entry
system for keeping his production
records, the Spanish green olive
grower keeps his books on split
olive branch-a method which prob
ably was old before paper was in
vented. For generations q notched
stick has been his only record in
these groves near Seville, the only
place where soil and climate COM
bine to produce green olives Of
suitable size, texture and favoring
for marketing.
The stick IL simple to use. For
example, ten bushels Of olives are
purchased. The buyer cuts an TX"
on an olive branch and hands it to
the grower. Later, two additional
bushels are bought, and the buyer
notches two straight lines below the
tx" At night when the stick Is
covered with notches, it is split
lenethwise, grower and buyer each
retaining half. When disputes
arise, settlement is reached by fit
ting the pieces together. A notch
!: appearing on one-half and not on
the other is clearly false entry

nor write it is an efficient method.

panies must have premiums to pay
the heavy losses and the rates must
therefore be high. The insurance
companies use the Dean schedule to
measure fire hazards. Municipal fire
protection is body of classified fea-
cures which tend to reduce fire haz-
ards. The schedule divides the haz-
occupancy and exposure. He stated
that his company is now re-rating
all mercantile and special fire haz-
ards in Minot.

electricians are already re-wiring

THIS IS THE LAND WHERE HATE
SHOULD DIE


s(By DENIS A. MCCARTHY
This is the land where hate should die,
No feuds Of faith. no spleen Of race,
No darkly- brooding fear should try
Beneath our flag to find place.
Lo, every people here has sent
It's sons to answer Freedoms call,
Their life-blood is the strong cement
That builds and binds the nations wall.
This is the land where hate should die
Though dear to me my faith and
shrine,
serve my country we'll when l
Respect beliefs that are not mine.
He little loves his land who'd cast
Upon his neighbours faith a doubt
Or cite the wrongs of ages past
From the present rights to bar him
This is the land where hate should die!
This is the land where strife should
cease!
Where foul suspicious fear should fly
Before our flag of light and peace;
So. let us purge of poisoned thought
That Service to the State We give,
Aud so be worthy, as we ought,
OF the great land in which we live!
