beds was taxed by the enrolment of
forty bed-patients and on Sunday,
the enrolment of bed-patients reach
ed the maximum Of forty-one.
From this record it is obvious
that new building for a hospital is
imperative. At present the superin-
tendent, Mrs. Winona Brown, and
the nurses are frequently at wits
end to know where to place pa
tients. They never turn anybody
away, but hasty re-adjustment Of
wards and rooms is necessary al
most every day. The emergency
room has long since become ward,
and emergency cases are now taken
care Of in the X-ray room.
The hospital building, a former
dwelling house, has never been an
adequate place in which to receive
hospital patients and because Of its
narrow halls and wooden interior
construction, it is a FIRE hazard.
Sin addition to the pressure Of
patients who go normally to the
Milford Emergency Hospital, this
hospital has recently taken over the
work Of the Marshall Hospital,
which closed its doors early in No
vember.
with conditions as they are, to
what can the Milford Emergency
Hospital look forward? It is quite
evident that in the course Of year
or two this hospital will have to
turn away patients unless It shall
be established in the new and ade-
quate building for which the doc
tors and leading citizens of the hos
pital territory are striving.
''Dr. @. Layton Grier. president Of
the hospital, heads the committee
which is working earnestly toward
the success of the campaign and al
ready a spacious lot of land has been
free Of charge to the COM
mittee. DR.. Grier himself is paying
all expenses of the campaign and
thus, every dollar subscribed for the
new hospital will be used directly
for that purpose.
1T Is believed" said DR.. Haney IN
conclusion, that there will be
enough public spirited citizens IN
this territory to pledge the one hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars
which is needed. These pledges will
be payable over a period Of three
years and the active campaign Of So
Iicitation by some three hundred
will take place in the last
fortnight Of February. Pledges
which will not strain any pocket
book, coming from many givers, will
mean complete success.
"This Is the situation. We have "a
a hospital doing excellent
work with a stan Of competent doc
tors and surgeons, devoted nurses.
and a group Of capable young wo-
men In the Training School. What

FARMERS SHOULD TAKE
ANNUAL INVENTORY

tory. The frst Is that 4 will show
you your net worth above all debts.
At the end of a year you may feel
discouraged because you have little
cash on hand, but your inventory
might show that because Of the puF-
chase Of stock and machinery or be-
cause Of salable crops on hand, you
are really worth more than you sup
posed. In q similar way, il you had
sold some stock and accumulated
some extra cash, you might feel
that you are pretty well fixed, when
in reality you are being fooled by
the amount Of actual cash on hand.
A second reason is that two in
VentOries taken a year apart Will
show whether or not you are get
ting ahead financially and how
much. A farm business that is not
cheeked-up by some method as an
annual Inventory Is like q clock
without hands-you can't tell Whe-
ther it Is gaining or losing or even
how It stands at any one time.
A third reason, is that an inven=
tory makes basis for preparing q
credit statement to use in getting
bank credit.
The fourth reason is that it will
provide a valuable list of property.
for use in case Of fire or in settling
an estate.
The last reason is that an inven-
tory is one Of the bases for the
years financial plans. In making
out his lists, the farmer notes need
ed repairs, parts, tools, equipment,
etc. He checks his feed and seed
He reviews debts Ow-
ed by and to him. All this infOrma-
tiOn is necessary in planning the
years budget and may have an in
huenee in determining the opera
tiOns.
January is the best time to take
an inventory because there is less
on hand TO figure us. However,
there is no set date to do this, any
time will do. The im-
portant thing is to take one. The
fortunate thing is that you will have
the job done before you lose your
for doing it.
The old bugbear Of not knowing
how much things are worth when
one wants to take an inventory has
been put out Of existence by thOus-
ands Of farmers who have taken in
ventOries from year to year by SIM
ply using their best judgment In
" hat an animal or article would
bring at a well attended sale.
There is no exact fixed rate on
Of farm machinery, but
every added year of age means one
less year Of use. The more eOmpli-
Gated farm machines such as trac-
tors and harvesters usually depreei-
ate much faster than the more sim
pie pieces.
Farming without an inventory is
like driving a car without lights.
You can't see the ditch until you are |
in il. II isn't pessimism, but Just |
good Judgment to use lights on a |
,ar. If you are near the ditch you
need to know 1t. An inventory will |
turn the lights on your farm busi- |
ness so you can see whether you are
going toward the financial ditch.
While there are only three things
for taking a farm inven-
tory, paper, pencil and the inclina-
lion, a fourth one will help you to
10 the job in good shape. This is a
copy of an inventory or farm record

Agricultural Agent c. r. Snyder for

RAGE AGAINST

Rome, July 23.-(UP)-Suspen-
sion of the gold coverage law to
finance war purchases-even the
prospect of war itself-was subor-
dinated to-day to new white hot
rage against Japan which swept
the country.
Premier Benito Mussolini Joined
the attack indirectly, for in his
own newspaper, the Popolo D.
Italia of Milan, Numbered out an
arraignment of Japan for alleged
ambitions in Ethiopia.
1t charged that Japan was
championing Ethiopia, against
Italy, that it had defied the pact
of Paris - the Kellogg-Briand
treaty in which nations were sup
posed to renounce war = in its
own fight for a place in the sun.
and that it was attempting to
break the solid front with which
Great Britain, France and Italy
were trying to consolidate Euro
pean peace.

Suspension of the gold law was
taken as a patriotic necessity. The
