FARM BOOKKEEPING

No modern business man would
think of conducting a store or fac
tory year after year without keeping
records to show whether he is max
ing or losing money. Yet many farm
ers try to get along with no records
at all, or keep records so incomplete
and haphazard as to be of little val
ne.
Many progressive farmers do keep
books in a practical way and these
are usually the one who make a sue
cess of farming. They realize that
they are business men, engaged in
the greatest business in the world,
and they adopt business methods ac-
cordingly.
Not only should a farmers books
show the total amounts of his re-
cepits and expenditures, but they
should show separate account for
each crop and for each other activ-
ity such as livestock, poultry, fruits, |
vegetables, and so on.
In this way he may discover what /
pays and what does not. Without
such records he is working in the
dark, often suffering losses where he
least suspects them.
Bookkeeping on the farm will not
turn losses into profits, but it will
serve to point out the mistakes of
a given year and be a great help In
avoiding them in future years. No
farm should be conducted without a
complete and accurate system OF
bookkeeping.

DON'T LET OUTSIDERS
FORCE GOODS ON YOU

1t seems that the larger centers of
trade are doing all they can to get
the whole thing retail and whole
sale. OF course the smaller towns
are supplied from the big wholesale
centers and the goods are brought to
the stores for sale. The sale of these
goods at retail belongs to the small
towns, but the mail order houses and
some other tricky individuals, are
working hard to corral this trade.
They send in a package, of neckties
say, and tell you that your last or
der was so satisfactory that you
must want more. We send you
few for so much; please pay by check
or money order. In most cases the
receiver never had a previous order.
The price is never less than you can
buy at your home store.
The cases We have in mind is the
line of neekties Eastern firms have
worked this forced sale scheme often
md get away with it sometimes. Now
comes a Los Angeles firm sending
neckties by mail and asking the re-
,eiyer to buy. Several packages have
been received in Burley in the past |

IDAHO FARMERS
HOLDING WHEAT

That there is strong tendency on
the part OF Idaho wheat farmers to
hold their grain in the hope for a
higher future market is indicated
particularly by reports from the
Lewiston and other large wheat
growing districts. These reports
say that but a small percentage of
wheat is being marketed and that
dealers are making no purchases in
except of wheat that can be
moved within the next two or three
weeks. AS to the wisdom of holding
for higher prices The News confesses
that it has no opinion that could be
safely helpful to Caldwell

CLIFF JEWELLERS
WHEAT RAISED HERE

Wheat with the heads fully seven
inches long, the grains twice as big
as ordinary wheat is o nexhibition
at The News office having been
grown by Dave Schorzman on the w.
]. Condy place north Of town.
Some time ago Boy Scouts from
Cedar City, Utah, while exploring
the ruins of the Cliff DwelIers in that
section, found wrapped ina cedar
bark pouch, quantity of seed wheat.
This was turned over to the Utah
agricultural college and some of it
brought here by brother of Mr..
schorzman and over half acre
planted
Although the stalk is unusually
heavy the heavy laden heads are of
such weight that they droop nearly
to the ground. Mr.. Schorzman ex-
poets the yield to be extraordinarily
heavy. The quality is unknown

LOVE AND MONEY

A pretty, sensible, wholesome girl
in a good, God fearing home falls in
love with some worthless, no-account
boy, and nine times out of ten it
does no good to warn her or to rea-
son with her. She is ruled by a nat
ural human desire for happiness that
Is stronger than facts or reason and
she acts on desire, not on reason.
Desire for wealth is much the
same with many intelligent men and
women. 1t often pays little heed to
reason. Desiring a thing, money,
love or happiness, is one of the most
primitive mental processes. 1t re-
quires no effort. But it does requirs
effort to make desires come true. In
trying to acquire money people Of
ten gamble in land, securities, COM
modities or what-not without put
ting forth any effort to determine
just what chance they have fulfill
ing their desires. They do not in
vest or even speculate. Like the ro-
mantle girl who fiaunts all reason,
they end in quick divorce; that is,
the get-rich-quick or get-something-
for-nothdng proposition speedily di-
vorees them from their money. In
vesting money requires long and
c areful thought, not romantic
dreams.

RECORD BUSINESS
FOR FORD CARS

During the month just ended the
Ford Motor Company did a record
July business in every division, it
was today announced at the High
land Park General Offices. Sales of
Ford cars and trucks totalled 1877
627 in July, exceeding by 61S2 of a
year ago. Sale of Fordson Tractors
We're more than $500 greater than
last year and 207 more Lincoln cars
We're delivered to customers during
the month than in the previous July.
On the basis of Branch Reports re-
ceived early in July, the company
anticipate dan increased volume of
business and while it predicted that
summer buying would rise to a high
er level than usual. the demand for
all Ford products during the month
exceeded expectations
The outlook is for increasing bust
ness in August.
One OF the chief indications of this
appears in agricultural sections of
the country, where FARMERS are com
ing into the market in rapidly grow
ing numbers. Evidence of this is
found in the remarkable sale of
Fordson tractors during July.

EXCELLENT WORK
PART OF FIREMEN

Last Tuesday evening proved a
busy one for the members of the To-
cal fire department, all having to re-
spond to the summons twice, each
time within one hour of the other.
The boys had hardly reached their
homes and were in bed until they
were again called to the second fire
and all responded. At the last call,
within three minutes after the
sounding of the siren, Firemen Wal
ter Kunnecke, Lex Hobson and G. c.
Zacher were at the fire house and in
seven minutes they had the water on
the blaze. This work on the part of
the boys should be commended by an

AT both blazes last Tuesday night
autos were seen to run over the hose
that was being played on the blaze.
This thoughtlessness on the part of
drivers should meet with severe pun
ishment as they may possibly some

it would be rendered useless with

the purchasers were Messrs Garbutt,
Little, Rowland, Ingham, Wallace,

were others. Why this sudden en-
thusiasm? We are to have a pump

week on the same. The bonds of

have all been sold and the cash is
on hand to pay costs as fast as need
ed. The exact total is not at present
known but it will go over the $780,
600 mark considerably. The total
to be covered will be about 1890
acres and much of this land is wait
ing only the life giving water to
show some of the richest farming
land in all South Idaho. If this land
could all be divided up into eighty
acre tracts and one family to every
eighty it would mean some fifty ad-
ditional families. OF course the ex-
penditure of so much money here
will give us a degree of immediate
that will Offset some of
the hard times Of the last four years.

What to one may appear to be sensible spending

Rv rHoMAs ARKLE CLARK

BY IHOMAS AHNLE CIAhh
TT WAS Daniel Webster, I believe,
= who in the famous Dartmouth
case, said of his alma mater, 1T is a
small college, but there are those who
have learned to love It."
Love Of alma mater Is thing to be
cultivated, thing to be expected. 1t
is very unappreciative man or wom-
an who will live four years upon a
college campus, work and study and
go about among It's faculty and it's
student body, and then leave 1t with
out feeling or regret. And yet
Aldrich came In to see me last May
to ask me to excuse him from attend
ance upon the commencement exer-
cises. All sorts of unexpected things
happen to men and women even In
college, and with the hundreds we
have graduating each June there are
always some who find it impossible
to be present on commencement day.
It is my job to excuse those who can't
be present, and to talk to those who
do not want to be.
what is your diff1culty?" 1 asked
Aldrich.
81 haven't any especial difficulty, +"
he said, excepting that 1t seems to
me foolish waste of time and money
for me to have to wait around here
for a week with nothing to do, just
to put on cap and gown and walk in
darned fool procession. 1 have a
job that I could go to the day after
1 finish my last examination, and
could be making money instead of
lying about here"
Haven't you any sentiment about
it2" 1 asked, "any love or feeling for
the place?"
II should say not" he replied, 81
came down here to study chemistry,
and when 1 have finished the course
I've got what / want and I'm through"
He was not one of those who had
learned to love his alma mater; he
was satisfied to get out of her all he
could and then to turn his back upon
her.
l have been very much interested in
reading of the wonderful things which
have been done for the colleges of the
country by those who have gone out
from their doors and who have carried
with them a sentiment and a love for
the institution as well as a trained
mind and store of information.
What we love most we desire most
to keep in contact with, to revisit to
make sacrifices for. and nothing
strengthens our love for an individual
or for an institution more than the

FIRST LOVE AFFAIR
IS TURNING POINT
Struggle of the Adolescent
Mind a Severe One.

Calf-love is the easiest thing in the
world to laugh at.
That 1t is less easy to endure was
revealed by boy criminal in strange
letter to the magistrates who tried
him. In that document he described
the stages of his downfall from the
moment when he realized that his first
love could not be reciprocated
Happily, most boys and girls recover
from the shock of their first love af-
fair without running themselves in
the process. Yet no one who has
studied the adolescent mind can doubt
for a moment that, as a rule, the
struggle is a severe one.
The first love affair Is far more seri-
Gus, far more anxious, than people
who have grown up are ready to adj
NIT.
Nor are its dangers made less, or It's
burdens lightened by the attitude COM
monty adopted toward the victim by
those who should be his friends. Al
most invariably they laugh and deride
when a word Of sympathy Is most
eagerly desired and most urgently
needed.
The wretched boy or girl is shamed
into silence about an event of the
emotional life which, after all, is per-
fectly natural, and must, In any case,
exercise a profound influence on his or
her whole attitude to life.
Thousands of marriages are ulti-
mately spoiled by cynicism which
brands first love as joke or dilates
on its grOtesque and silly character
The wild freshness of the dawn is but
seldom recovered once it has been lost.
This does not mean, of course, that
boys and girls are to be encouraged in
sentimentalism.
But their feelings, however exag-
gerated, must be accepted as genuine
for the moment and honored as such
They must be taken, If not seriously,
at least respectfully
If they feel that their strange emo
tional experience is being understood
and regarded alphabetically their
own common sense becomes the ally Of
emotlonalism and the enemy of their
critics
Thus, instead of being 'Iaughed out
of their folly, they are very effectual-
ly laughed into it. Their best weapon
of defense is struck, as it were, from
their hands.
1t is good sign Of the present gen.
Grafton that it is beginning to take
emotions seriously and to grant them
their rigntful place in the business Of
life.
This attitude has certainly made life
happier and easier for many people,
There Is no reason in the world why
it should not be extended to those
earnest but inexperienced mariners,
our growing lads and lasses.
Either this powerful force can be
used to ennoble and glorify life or it
can be turned aside by cheap laughter
into channels of shame and misery

Giant Bones in Mexico

One of the most interesting of re-
cent discoveries in Mexico is that re-
ported by prospecting miners operating
new gold and silver mining district
in the state of Chihuahua According
to one Of the engineers, who has
reached Mexico City from the Sierra
Madre range Of mountains where the
operations are being carried on, there
have been discovered several human
skeletons measuring from ten to
twelve feet in length. They were all
found in one cave, being quite intact.
The average length of the feet was
from Is to 20 inches. The anthropo-
logical department of the Mexican gov
eminent is planning to send commits
sion to investigate the discoveries. The
investigation is expected to clear up
the origin of the wonderful Indians of
the state Of Chihuahua The skeletons
were all found In a sitting posture,
shoulders bent forward and arms rest
