Howe, economist and America’s leading authority on cooperative banking and Credit, was the central theme of a day’s discussibn of - ' cooperative banks and credit institutions by the American Cooperative Congress in Cleve. land, Ohio, on February 10. _, The American Cooperative Congress is a « sort of institute for the study of evceoperative problems. It was formed by “a few labor ileaders and farm cooperators "Who Want to window the fundamental facts ‘nabeuty'ccepera- ltion,‘ and ‘vv'h‘ofemploy experts *to -“'fion‘d '-'out these facts. Dr. Howe is V _ I‘Z'CO’mmitteeLOn"banking and ere‘dit, [and »' has «Spent the-paStxyearin reSearehes on this ques- tion. His reports to the Cleveland cenven- tion brought out many new angles to this problem, which is one of the chief questions before farmers and others "who are ,' interested ‘in the success of large cooperatiVe enterpris- * es. - “The present banking and credit facilities of the United States are totally unsuited to the needs of the“ farmers and other producing classes,” said ‘Dr. Howe. “Ordinary com- -mercial credit flows to the point of highest Fret-urns. There is more money in speculative itransactions than in production, hence specu- i‘lators have command of the present-day bank- ' ing system. Thirty years ago the banks were fairly well identified with productive enter- iprises—today they are closely allied with various forms of speculation and are dis- ‘-tantly removed from production. WI make =:these statements without ‘m‘alice to anyone, simply stating facts known to every student of finance.’_’ 1. There is no use hoping for the reform of this situation through legislation, according : to Dr. Howe. “Banks are mostly Owned by the commercial classes, the speculators and timiddlemen,” he said. “Theseibanks are de- ':signed to solve the special prObl‘ems Which confront these interests which OWn them. The ' railroad banks were created to solve the cred- it and financial problems of the railroads. 'I do not see how it will be possible for anyleg- ‘islation to be enacted to compel them to meet "farmers’ financial needs. The remedy of the farmers seems to me to be perfectly obvious—- "the organization of a system of farmers’ 'c'o— inoperative banks and credit institutions that dare adapted to the peculiar needs of farmers.

The fact that fresh cheese can be obtained readily .will tend to increase i-ts consump- tion. ‘ The Manufacture of Neufchatel and Cream Cheese In this article the production of the Neufchatel group of cheese is considered from two points of view, (1) for home consumption and (2) for marketing on a small scale. - Quality of Milk ~ Thequality of milk is "the first consideration in the production of .- good Neufchatel or cream cheese- Milk which is sour or has undergone should 'not be used.

If the cheese is made in small quantities for home consumption, a starter is probably not advisable. Theladvantages of a starter is prob- ably‘ not advisable. The advantages of a starter over the natural souring are: It hastens the coagulation of the m . ' 2. It suppresses undesirable fermenta- tions that may cause .excessive losses of fat and curd, - 3. It aids in suppressing undesirable flavors and producers more uniform cheese. _ V ‘- Standardizing the Milk In making cream cheese for the 3 With 4 per cent milk available, if one-third-of the quantity is run thru a cream separator and the cream added to the remaining two-thirds, milk testing aproximately 6 per cent is obtained. If the milk tests only 3 'per cent it will be necessary 'to separate one-half. This method gives satisfactory results for home manufacture, but for more extensive operations it is advisable to use a Babcock tester in order to standard— ize the milk accurately. The following illustrates an easy method of deter-mining' the propor— tions of milk and cream of different per cent of fat needed to make up 6 per 'cent milk: Cream and milk on hand—34 per cent cream; 4 per cent milk. Proportions to be used—2 parts cream; 28 parts milk. If it is desired to make up a defi- nite quantity of 6 per cent, milk, for example, 60 pounds, the procedure cent milk is 28-30 times 60, or 56‘ pounds. Making the Cheese The process described is identical for Neufchatel and cream cheese, ex- cept for a few minor differences which will be mentioned- Setting—Unless otherwise noted, , 30 pounds, or about 3 1-2 gallons of I milk, is the unit used in these d1- , rections; that quantity can be hand- ; led conveniently in a shotgun can. For smaller quantities any enameled or heavily tinned pail is satisfactory. * ' If a starter is added, it is advisable to use a quantity equal to 1 or 1 1—2 per cent of milk; while smaller quan- tities may be used, the proportion. suggested are usually the most sat» isfactory. Neufchatel is made from ordinary milk, while the cream cheese requir- es milk containing about 6 per cent (Continued on page 19) J ' ‘ .4..-...... ,__._. mmmummuniinl inrmr munr mi 1111 mrmnunnrmr numniinui lIlI IHI mnurmx mt 1mm IIKIIIKIHIJIIIIIII m1 XIII IIIIIIII IllI JIIIIIII 1111111!

Theories and experiments in design and construction run their course among manufacturers and among farmers — and leave behind a varied history. But the service record of Titan has ken a revelation in the agri- cultural world. Its record as an efficient farm poWer unit has been, to state a plain truth, convincing. ' During its history, Titan sales have swept ahead; this tractor has carried its Success into every county and Country. Yet, except for minor improve- ments and betterments, Titan design has remained unchanged. It has stood the test of time, the test of hardest, roughest usage, the test of strenuous com- petition, so that to date the farming world has invested over seventy million dollars in Titans. Can there be better proof of thorough practicability? Titan 10-20 is now more than ever standard because it is fundamentally simple, enduring, reliable, right.

There was .a feeling abroad in the land, that the future prosperity of this great coun- try could be made or marred by the selection of men for Secretary of State, Secretary of Commerce, ‘Sec— rotary of the Navy and the depart- ments of Justice and Agriculture. From the standpoint of buSiness prosperity, alone, the departments of {State and Commerce will prob- ably have the most far-reaching in- fluence and men of all panties seem to agree that no better mu ‘than Hughes and .Hoover cotfld. have been found do .take these important part- folios.

If the soil is well drained, contains an abun- dance of lime and available plant food, and the sweet clover receives plenty of manure, it will make a fairly rank growth and may grow high enough so that considerable sweet clover will be cut when the smal grain is cut. On the other hand if the soil is "somewhat light or has been cropped heavily and does not contain an abundance of plant food it is likely to prove injurious to the small grain. Would recommend seed- ing the sweet clover at the Same time that the oats are sown.

In, some instances, however, the fault is with the shipper if he does not receive returns to which he thinks Anyone who ships a- crate of poultry or a. consignment of hogs to a commission firm in a dis- tant city should first know something about the reputation of the people with whom they are dealing. More- over, just prior to shipping, the farm- er should wire his commission house for the latest quotations. More im- portant than all he should write or wire his commission house the instant the stuff is shipped so that the com- mision firm may !be on the lookoutfor it. It frequently happens tha‘ pro- duce is received in poor condition. with tags missing, and nothing to in- dicate who it is from. In such cases the commission firm simply must ac- cept the best he can get for the goods and wait until some disgruntled shipper writes in to find out why he hasn’t received his returns—Editor.

THE FEDERAL STOCK \FOOD COMPANY AGAIN A On June 1st I went to Boyne City , and met their agent, a Mr. Coyle, the Company having written me request- ing me to do so, stating that they wanted an agent to, handle their goods in this territory. Mr- Coyle gave me ayery glowing account of y - - the business their agents were doing ' in other places, stating that their " “indemnity bond” was in reality or live stock insurance; that they “paid for all losses of cattle, sheep, horses and hogs where their stock salt was fed. Stated that the only stock they did not cover by said bond was horse es having heaves and well hogs in a drove where cholera'existed, but that after the drove was free from chol- A era they were then taken. Mr. Coyle did not use the words “contagious diseases” during our conversation in any only as mention- ed in regard to hog‘cholera. He made this remark several times: “It , may seem a funny thing to say, but loss-es are what we want. An indemw nity paid is our best advertisement.’.’ I asked him many questions and one in particular was in‘regard to A loss of young lambs- I did'this as "I had lost several lambs from no cause. “ whatever that I could see. They would appear to be in perfect health, ‘ still "I would find "dead once every‘ few days. such lambs and I replied, ,“$3_ to "$5 at least." .H‘e considered this a very"? ‘ low valueand said that all such loss-7 as would bepaid. .~ "g 4‘ A & Igave [him an ‘orderjfor $440200 worth of, Stock Salt, ,givingn ~tj 3,49. 3109. - $1.00 endgsg‘omin " Mr. COyle came b'ack with, ‘ ‘ the question, what- value I put on; hat in. his.

Profit from the sale of farm land or live stock must, be included. 'If the land sold was -- purchased prior to March 1, 1913— the date the first income tax law be- ":came effective—the amount to be reported as income is the difference between the fair market value of the land as at that date and the amount received- ' Net income, upon which the tax is assessed, his gross income less cer- tain specified deductions- All neces- sary expenses incurred during the year 1920 in‘the operation of a farm are deductible items. These include the cost of cultivation,-harvesting and marketing of crops, and the cost of seed and fertilizer used. Amounts expended for the cost of feed for live stock may be claimed, but the value of a farmer’s own products used for such purpose is not a deductible item. The cost of farm tools used up in the course of the year, wages paid to em- ployees (other than domestic ser- vants), and rent paid for farm lands and buildings (other than the dwell— ing) cost of repairs to fences, wagons and machinery are deductible items. Also bills paid for horseshoeing, stock powders, rock salt, veterinary services, insurance (except on dwell- ing) gasoline for operating power, and sundry minor expenses. Cost of purchase of farm machin- ery of permanent character, such as a threshing machine, and“ extensive repairs to farm buildings, such as , placing a new roof on the barn, are not deductible expenses, but are re- garded as capital investments. The automobile and motor truck now form a part of farm equipment. The cost of such vehicles is not an aIIOWable deduction, but cost of oper- ation may be claimed if they are used exclusively for farm ,‘purposes, and not for pleasure or convenience. A1— so, in such cases, claim may be made for a reasonable deduction for de- preciation of such vehicles- Losses incurred in the operation- of a farmv as a business enterprise are deductible from gross income. If, however, farm productsare held for a- favorable market no deduction on account of shrinkage in weight or physical value by reason of deter— ioration in storage is allowed. Loss by frost, storm, flood or fire of a prospective crop, or of a brop which has not been sold is not deductible. Thereason for this rule is. that un— less the crop reaches maturity and is harvested and sold, its value is’ never included in gross income, and the farmer has so much less income to report. The same is true with re- “ - Twain“ ’.GAT§.,:WILL‘ soccessrutu arm inn? auu-r :IJ'sELr _ the‘mmf "at. l ' " ‘ orth- wetlande from, the top of‘the-jrlangle‘to’ fl” "mm. “V my“. back «es ll‘ °' flat“?

However; if >1ive stock has been purchased and afterwards dies, or is killed by order of Federal or State authorities, the actual pur— chase price, less any depreciation pre- viously claimed, and less any insur— ance and indemnity recovered, may be claimed. In’ determining the cost of stock for the purpose of ascer- taining the deductible loss ‘there shall be taken into account only the purchase price and not any cost of feed, pasturage or care which has been deducted by the farmer as a cost _of farm operation. General deductions such as for taxes, interest on personal indebted— ness, losses sustained in transactions entered into for profit aside from the farmer’s regular‘ business, losses sus— tained by fire, storm or other casu- alty, bad debts and contributions are explained in instructions on the forms for filing returns- The term “farm,” as defined by Treasury regulations, includes stock farm, dairy farms, poultry, fruit and truck farms, also ranches, plantations and “all land used for farming op— trations.” It should -be noted that a .

In such an instance the cost of farm operation is regarded as a “personal” expense, andtherefore is not deductible. A farmer who keeps his account on ‘ the “receipts and disbursement” bas- is—which means a record of the amount received and the amount paid for expenses—~should file his in- come tax return for the year 1920 on that basis. Another method is the keeping of books of income and ex— penses on the “accrual” basis, which is required of all persons whose ac— counts are kept on such basis. For those keeping their accounts on the accrual basis, inventories are necessary at the beginning and end of each taxable year. The gross profits are obtained .by adding to the inventory value of live stock and farm products on hand at the end of the year amounts received from the sale of stock and products and other miscellaneous receipts during the year, and deducting from this sum the inventory value of stock and pro— duce on hand at the beginning of the year, plus the cost of stdck and produce purchased during the year. Farmers may change the basis of their returns for the year 1920 from that of receipts and disbursements to'that of an inventory basis. There _should be included in the opening inventory all farm products, includ— ing live stock purchased or raised, which were on hand at the date of the inventory, and there must be submitted with the return for the .year 1920 an adjustment sheet for 1917, 1918 and 1919 based on the inventory method- Upon the amount of these adjustments the tax will be assessed and paid (if any is due) at the rate in effect for each respective (Continued on’page 15) «on lower eunuch-the ate, hle construction Once equipped with the Cozy heating system, your home will be free forever from the dangers of falling embers, flying sparks and tumbling stove pipes.

' ICHTGAN milk producers will not look with-a great amount of favor on the sensational publicity which the Washington correspondent of the Detroit "News got all ‘hct-up’ over last week and which appeared under the glaring head of “Children of Mich— igan Monaced by Bad Milk!” . All of which was based on the report of the Bureau of Animal Industry which stated» that from a total of 236 owners of accredited herds (that is, those which have passed two annual inspections by government officers without showing any diseased animals in the herd), ‘94 answers to questionnaires had been received which seemed to indicate that “approximate- ly” five per cent of all the cattle in Michigan , “are still infected with tuberculosis and the percentage is even higher among milch cows.” Now the facts as stated may be in accord- ancc with the 94 answers out of236 whom the department asked] Five per cent of the cat- tle now on the farms of Michigan may 'be in- fected, altho we doubt very much if this av- erage will be as high as any other leading dairy state in the union. We shall --&nv.est-i- gate those figmrcs and have more to say upon the subject when we have seen the complete analysis. The point at issue is, that at a time [when the consumption of milk in Detroit, our great- est consumer, is at low ebb. When dairymen are at their wits end to know ‘how they can (af- ford to feed and milk their cows at the pres- ent prices. When the distributors, to their credit, are spending more than ever in adver— tising of every ‘kind to increase the consump— tion of milk in ctroi-t, an article of this kind should appear when the simplest investiga— 1'rm would {have shown that all milk sold in Detroit must :‘be pasteurized and therefore ab— solutely free from disease germs reaches the consumer. ’ Editorially in :the :same :issue the 'NcWS seeks to repair this sort of destructive public- ity shy pointing out the need for the approp- riation of $150,000 which the Michigan Bur- eau of Animal Industry has asked from the legislature for this years campaign .‘against the disease and even states that “this item might reasonably :be enlarged,” but for ,. ~.0nc who read this editorial comment-althou- and terrified fathers and anxious mothers read the glaring head-line “Children 'Menaccd Bad Milk” and pnemptly put mile in the T‘ category of rizpeéoli'ves and spinach.

Mr. Denby grew. up in China, knows the language, the customs and the thought .of the Qccident, was admitted «to the :bar in our 0WD state, was congressman and «when the great war caught America in its "rmad whirl, enlisted as apriVate in the “.devil-_ dog” marines, because he “wanted to .be an .example’ ’ for men young enough to be :his sons, who were trying by hook and crook to get soft commissions from whence they could march in the parades and still never 'get nearer to a cannon’s mouth than the ones mounted in the cityparks. ‘ We hope, if for reasons of economy alone, that «the nations of the world will turn the energy, time and money which is wasted in foolish preparation for wars, into channels which make this a better place to live in and not an easier place to die in, long before Ed- win‘ Denby retires from office. But so long as We must build .a navy and maintain it, we do not believe a better prepared or more sym- pathetic man could have been selected to {fill this post in “President Hardingb cabinet. Waste ’PATHE’T‘IC little story was once writ- ten of .a very frugal man who had fal- len into the habit of picking up trifling things which he saw laying in the street. Gne day 3he spied a piece :of string in the market place. “It might come :in handy,” he thought,pso he picked it up and stowed it away in his pock- et. A few minutes later it was rumored around the market place that a purse had been lost containing a considerable sum of money. Instantly some one recalled having dust to Have a Heart Like ‘His j {MEWS ’AS xthough ‘a cyclone hit him-— ‘ Can’t buy clothes ;that seem «to’fit Mm, T; Am’ his checks «are rough «like leather 5 ' I Made" for standin’ any weather. .

When he ex: plained his habit of picking up little things his neighbors all laughed at him, and Said that nobody but a crazy man would pic}: up a tiny piece of string. " The‘thing weighed on "the thrifty man’s mi. was strictly» honest, and the accusation that he had found and ‘kept a. purse belonging to "someone else, worried him. ‘In Vain he tried to prove' his innocence; in vain he told over and over again the story of the string; everywhere «he got the same‘rcception. He was ibrandedias a thief, a rogue and a. liar, and soon lost ~the respect of all his neighbors, and the rest, of his life he lived in shame and misery, all "be cause of a little piece of string. This story told here because it is quite m typical of the spirit of modern times. ’ The thrifty are extremely unpopular in this czar-Z. travagant era. It is the spend-thrift. who gets the hand of applause. There is nothing :but scorn for the frugal who wear patched clothes and shoes, and travel on foot or iby horse instead of automobile. The penny "is 3'9. despised coin. No one thinks of saving it any more. The American people .are notorious the world over for their extravagance in both pri- vate and public life. It has been estimated that millions of dollars could be saved each year from the sums which are thrown! away .in the ordinary daily routine of living. And it is quite certain that hundreds of millian could “be saved to the taxpayers that are now being wasted by extravagant public officials. Take the matter of public printing. Thous- ands of tons of valuable paper are wasted in . the printing of reports and bulletins which are sent to people who are either dead or 0th; crwise have no use for them. A watchful public ofi‘icial over at Lansing while rummag- ing through some of the mailing lists discov~ ered the names of contain people listed asmany as ten times, that ha dreds of others ‘had moved away, and still thers were long since dead and buried. He discovered that thous- ands of dollars worth of printed matter was being sent to people who had *no earthly use for it, and only threw it in the waste paper basket as soon as received. “He also found that much ‘w'orthless data'was being publish- ed as a part of the Michigan Manual, at a cost of several thousand dollars. As a result of this man ?s investigations and recommenda- tions the state of Michigan Will"be saved near- ly $550,000 this year on printed matter. The same situation exists in all Other states and in the national government as well. Fortunes are spent every year :by the national agovern- V meat in printing bulletins which are put ‘to no more valuable use than to kindle fires.

Bollard, 11W, «Mich. _ \_ :'|| II‘Y REASONS for "hens have been laying right along, I EXPLAIN “DISAPPEARANOE” on SPUD CROP ,- thinking our_ f spud crop should have sold for a fair price had they been fed “to the market as needed as these: The claim was made that our crop ‘was 70 million bushels too large to have them sell for a good price, but the best authority we have on the crop, a man who'has not, to my knowledge, made a mistake in esti- mating the crop in the past 15 years or more says the government report was about 55 milion bushel too high. That wipes out the most Or that 70 million bushels surplus. We were informed by the «Rural New Yorker a conservative paper, last fall, that 10 to 15 per cent of the crop in‘the east had rotted. They Were affected with dry rot and that never lets up as long as the crop lasts. They will keep right on rot- ting to the end of the season. This does away with the balance of that, '70 million bushels and then some. ‘A large part of this state never had any poorer crop than we had last summer. Up Grand Traverse way where the big crop was said to be is a mighty small portion of the potato belt, hardly a drop in the ocean by comparison. Again this open warm winter is "almost sure to be followed by a cold backward spring that will freeze out the crop in the South. Now who says the price of spuds shouldn’t go up to a decent figure even with‘business in the condition it is in? Jobless men, after receiving the enormous wages they have been get- ting for several years back ought to be able to buy food for a long time to come. Food prices to the con- sumer haven’t fallen only 10 to 25 per cent, to the farmer they have gone down from 50 to 75 per cent, and on some kinds of stuff, 100 per cent—A. L. Lambertson, Kent Coun- ty, Michigan. Lor’ bless you, friend Lambertson, don’t I hope you’ve got the right hunch! Wouldn’t I give a year’s salary to have spuds hit the dollar mark by April lst? Now about this flooding the market, you , know I’ve never believed in it, “Orderly marketing” has alwayu; been my hobby. Some farmers won’t always get the top price, but few of them will get the bot- ‘ tom price either. In time of over-pro- duction, normal production and even under-production, orderly marketing of crops yields the greatest returns to the greatest number. Buy say, don’t fool yourself about the city workingman hav- ing any of his fancy wages left to buy food with, for he hasn’t. In the first place his wages weren’t so fancy as some have pictured. In the second place, it cost ’him a lot more to live than 'before the war; and in the third place what he didn’t spend for the nec- essaries of life, he spent for moving pic- tures, silk shirts and the like. There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but the rule is that the average man who has been, out of a job for three months, is “busted” flat, and eats his beans and potatoes from hand to mouth, Editor.

The Puritans did not know or practice even the simplest and plain- . est principles of religious liberty; al the wanted or understood was to have liberty to do as they themselves thought right, and they laid heavy hands upon those who dared to dis- sent from their standards. Modern apostles of a return to the h‘ro law“. have noclearer vision than did their prototypes, and when they get the laws called for \vi‘l lay ins" as heavy hands on any objecting minority that may be found. It is just as true today as it was in the days of Paul that if righteous— ness be by the law then Christ is dead in vain, and without entering at this time into the question of which day of the. week is the chris- tian Sabbath, it can be said with the positive assurance that if it is “Christian” it should be observed as Christ would have observed it, and the at‘itude of Christ’s follow- ers toward those who do not observe it should he decided exactly in harm— ony with the way Christ talked and acted toward those who did not fol— low him or believe on him when he was here on earth as our example. Christ S‘lld, “If any man hear my words and believe not. I judge him not: to“ i come not to judge the world but to save the world. He that rejecioth inc and reoeiveth not my words. hath one that judgeth him; the word th-it T have spoken the same slizili judge him in the last .day." But to many of the prefessed fol— lowers of the lowly Jesus, waiting till the last day for some of their fel‘owmen to he judged is waiting altogether too long. and these relig— ions enthusirists like Pharisees of old, want the ones whom they account as offenders to be judged now, and the pains and penalties that God has reserved to himself to give at the end of the iourney to be inflicted fnr‘hwith.

When cooled I drop in one cake of either Magic or Yeast ‘ Foam. Just before retiring I add enough water to make three pints and stir in one seivefull of flour. Cover and sit where it will keep just warm. In the morning after break- fast I add one more quart of warm water, tablespoonful of salt and, two spoonfuls of sugar. Add enough flour to make the sponge stiff enough to just drop off the spoon. Let this set for one hour. Now take mixing bowl, put in-three heaping seives of flour; make a hollow in the middle and pour in your sponge. I now add two tablespoons of melted shorten—_ ing. Mix this into a firm cake with the hands and brush over the top with a little melted shortening. Set where it will raise gradually for about three hours- Then take bread board and without the use of any more flour I pull off as much as I want for one loaf and knead into shape without punching it too much. This amountwill usually make about six good sized loaves. 'When I take it from the oven I brush lightly over the tops with a little grease and cov- er as this will make the crust soft," and will not. crumble in cutting. I certainly agree with our editor when it comes to the question of dress. If young girls would not car-r ’Some Domestic Needs ROBABLY it would be impossi- Pble to find a woman anywhere who didn’t thing that she had ur- gent domestic needs of some kind. If it were not for equipment, ‘it would be for help; and if it were for neither equipment nor help, it would be for a smaller or larger house, or something else which bulk— ed as important in her mind’s eye. Not that women, are inclined to be dissatisfied, but rather that they are getting out of the old way of follow- ing the line of least resistance and are beginning to think and plan along commonsense, constructive, la; b0 aving lines. Th, woman on the farm is much more likely to have crying domestic needs, becauseof lack of average conveniences,.than her town sister. There are several reasons for this, but the two principal ones are the expensive equipment/in the way'Of‘ barns, silosyuand machinery neces- sary -to insure anwincomeyjand» her own inclination to get along fer the _ present with justjwhat she, has. , Her ‘very- virtues in the way; of .. thrift and-patienceare often prone to cause her tonacriiice Etoor‘mgu‘ch.‘ and to be unnecessarily ‘:‘uns‘elfl§ir,". There is. such a thingfdsdeliberatelyffi: courting, (thoughtlessncss; on} the , r'whichf‘to .ry the present styles to excess we would be more comfortable than any generation so far. I think that if some mothers would just set their ‘ foot down on these things we could do away with them. But what-are we to do when even some older wom- en will appear on the streets dressed up like a figure in a show window and look for remarks from the male contingent? Girls generally follow .a leader and when they see this they think that if so-and-so can wear that and get away with it I know I would look better than she does. Too many mothers allow their~daughters to dress as they please and if anyone remarks about it they only throw up their hands with a sigh and exclaim, “Well she thinks she knows more than her mother and I can’t thing with her.” Whose fault is it, the girl’s or the mother’s? Girls seem to have the idea that they can- not catch a fellow unless they are strictly up to the latest thing in fashions, but if any of my girls were “floppy galoshes,” as Uncle ‘Rube Spinach says, those galoshes Would come up missing whenever. my girl Ventured out. It is up to the moth- ers to get busy and put the thought away that their girls are beyond theirpower while living at home and under her care. Times and styles are continually changing, but a girl’s one idea is to dress so as to attract and it must be pounded into their minds that they do not attract when dressed the way they are at present, and no man wants them for a wife even if he does run after 1a pretty form shown up as much as possible. —-—Mrs. G.

B. F. the best of luck—Mrs. 0. A. Byers, Schoolcraft County. HELPS FOR FARMERS ON THE INCOME TAX (Continued from page 11) year. Where it is impossible to ren~ der complete inventories from begin- ning of the taxable year 1917, the Bureau of Internal Revenue will ac- cept estimates which substantially reflect the income on the inventory basis for each year. The inventor- ies must not include real estate, buildings, permanent improvements or other assets subject to deprecia- tion. Farmers whose net income for 1920 was $5,000 or less should make their indi'idual return on Form 1040A. Those whose net income was in excess of $5,000 should use Form 1040. To the form used should be attached Form 1040F, the special form for the use of farmers. Full instructions for making out the forms are contained in each. Revenue officers are visiting every county in the United States to assist taxpayers in the preparation of their income tax returns for the year 1020- The date of their arrival and the 10- _ed through the press, or may be ob- tained on. inquiry of oflices of col- _leotors of internal revenue and branch (films This advisory ser—- vice is without costto the taxpayer.

In 1918 the number of women employed in factories .was 30,443 and in 1919 it was 28,730. In the former year there were 9,500 adult women employed in the offices connected with manufacturing plants and in the latter year nearly 11,000.

AN EASY WAY TO FIGURE m ‘ COST OF PAINTING . H , Many a farmer‘is thinking about painting this spring, and is wonder- ' ' ing if he can figure out just how; much paint he needs. Any farmer i. can figure the answer out for him- ‘- self. Start with the fact that in row ' painting the average outside paint. will cover 4400 sq. ft. of surface with??_ '- two coats of paint. Just figure the sq. ft. of surface which your‘barn or .; other structure has, and then divide L this by 400 to find out the number , of gallons of paint which you need.~ A barn 30 feet long, 16 feet wide, 13 feet high on the sides wil have a ft. area of approximately 1500. This r‘ will take less than 4 gallons of paint, , _ ,say at $4.00 a gallon, or $16 to pro- ’ tect a good sized barn for four years. ' or $4.00 a year. —' . ' , . ,, Any bank will lend from .10-to 30. : per cent more on a painted barn or: other structure than on one needs paint.

NORTHERN MICHIGAN MEETINGS Four more meetings of Hostein ’- ,_bre_eders in line with the accredited T herd campaign started last December ‘ are. scheduled for the early part of 'yMarch in northern counties, as fol-' glows: Tuesday, March 8th, at Fre- mont; Wednesday, March 9th, at ‘ 'Scot‘tville; Thursday, MarCh 10th, at Cadillac; Friday, March 11th, at Pe- ‘Vtoskcy.
