A farmer may determine income

the cash was received or disbursed,
while under the accural method the

very day, his daddy is coming
home. Lieut.. Price, after 10 months
in the thick of battle, has been
sent home for a training course
nearby. Dickie and his mother
have been turning handsprings and
whooping "Yipee" ever since he
phoned that he was on his way
home.
When Margaret Price asked her
small son what he was going to do
when he saw his daddy at the sta
ton, Dickie replied, I'm going to
hug and squeeze him till it hurts"
Then, after some reflection he add
ed, "And of course, when we get
home, I'm going to have a talk
with him about this war.
Dickie, who has been the man
of the house" since Richard left, is
a little reluctant to give up this
highly important, protective posi-
ton. But then, he has a treat IN
store for his daddy. Richard, some
time ago, sent him a dollar bill in
letter, telling Dickie to buy for
himself anything he wanted. Dickie
has been carefully saving the dollar
so that he could spend it all on ice
cream for his daddy, when he got
home.
Most everyone agrees that the
ice, sleet and snow during the past

last them the rest of the winter
