And now when they begin to investigate the submarine disaster along with the airships, it will include everything from top to bottom and the result will be that there will continue to be a few more disasaters. Decatur business men did themselves proud in turning out for the road meeting yesterday. It was a fine demonstration of community interest and proof that we want the William Penn highway pass through our county. The weather was a little chilly this morning, a reminder that the fail months are here. Tomorrow ushers tn the month of October ami it will not be long until the snow flies. But cheer up, the beautiful Indian sum mer season is just ahead. Tim tax rates for next year have been fixed. No objections were tiled against any proposed rale in any of the taxing units in this county, which would lead us to believe that every body is satisfied. It's follish to ask that taxes be reduced and then turn around and sign a petition requesting improvements and the issuing of bonds with which to pay fur it. It would be a splendid thing if a boys' band could be organized in this city. A committee is at work now endeavoring to find out how many boys would like to join and bow manv would be willing to buy instruments and keep up the practice. Parents who wish to have their boys join such an organization, properly supervised and directed are urged to get in touch witli the committee and let their desires lie known. The committee is open to suggestions as to how a junior band could be financed and 'f you are interested talk it over with the boys.

One of the inconveniences caused by taking off the two morning trains on the Pennsylvania railroad is the delay in getting daily papers. Our exchange desk is about bare these days and many of the papers do not reach us until' the afternoon. The discontinuing of the trains affected the delivery of the Daily Democrat at Monroe, but special arrangements have been made to have the papers taken to that place in the evenings by auto so I hat our subscribers at this point will not miss the papers on the morniugwrural delivery. As word of explanation it might be stated that the papers going to Berne and Geneva are sent on the mid night trains arriving there in p’Tnty of time for tho morning deliveries. The school children assisted by the teachers and principals will launch a campaign Friday for the securing of voluntary donations with which to erect a suitable memorial in this city to the memory of Gene Stratton Porter and her literary works. It is most fitting that the children in this county become interested iu sßcb a worthy cause, for in Mrs. Porter's books the joy of childhood and the dreams of youth were expressed In beautiful thought aud her books were an inspiration to the young! Adams county has a right tc claim the noted author as one of tti famed citizens, who brought fame am **!nrv 3st onlv to the LtliHberiost. bu l to the county a» a whole 4»d it auouii

J LBJBU'-'g ) Young Bob LaFollette ran wild in I the Wisconsin elections yesterday and was elected United States Senator by a majority of more than 130,UVD. Early reports from the "Badger" state credit him with carrying every county except one and in that place he was only a few hundred behind. He will take the seat in the Senate, made vacant by his father. He possess a great deal of the old LaFollette fighting spirit and his election is a victory for the LaFollette progresslveism as advocated by his father. He will be the youngest member of th c U. S. Senate, being loss than 31 years of age and if he keeps his feet on the ground has an opportunity to make a real record. The William Penn Road meeting held here yesterday was one of the finest demonstrations of community spirit and interest ever seen. The crowd was large and more than tilled the rooms where thc meeting was held. Visitors to the number of 35 or 10 were present and from thc talks given by the Cole Brothers and others no doubt was left in the minds of those who attended that these men are enthusiastic about securing the coasi-tocoast highway. Avon Burk, president of the Decatur Industrial Association, who presided at the meeting welcomed the visitors and Attorney Clark J. Lutz, speaking for the Decatur men gave the assurance that the road boosters would not find this city and county lacking in supporting the proposed road.. A delegation from here went to Huntington with tiie Caravan of William Bonn road boosters where a meeting was held last evening and the support and co-operation of the organizations in that city given to the plan to have the federal government designate the road from Atlantic City to San Fran cisco as the William Penn road. With a local organization, headed by William A. Lower, Decatur and Adams county will work with the other cities in trying to secure this highway. As one of Hie Cole Brothers stated yesterday. "Now is the time to get these coast-to-coast lines” and with that idea in mind thc organizations will endeavor to bring it about. — o —

The activities of the state police are said to have resulted from numerous complaints of Warsaw citizens in piotest against the failure of the local authorities to remedy the situation. According to these complaints auto mobiles have beoh driven over the streets of Warsaw at 40 and 60 miles ait hour by persons who have no feat of arrest. There Lave been numerous accidents, but these have (ailed to bring any activity on the part of the local police authorities. The two state motor policemen in one swoop arrested five men for speeding and three for failing to dim the lights of their cars.

Some of the many future predictions are based on the situation of stars aud planets. Armnigton said, but can only come true through accident. “I have trouble enough judging the weither conditions in the immediate future here, from past experiences, ami surrounding conditions,” Armington said. "The only sure predictions are some old lady's bunion or rheumatism hurting. or the observation of a man who has lived in the open and is used to rending the sky.” "Their bunions hurt because of changes in the atmospheric pressure which proceeds tain and the precipitations. A man who has had long sxperience in the open like a farmer, becomes remarkably accurate, in predicting woather conditions for the next day.” Bloomington. — Mr. and Mrs. James ( Cutsinger celebrated their seventieth , goMen Wedding Sunday. , Frankfort, -.-r W.

THE PENCIL MAKES A FARM PAY BETTER Farm Accounting Reveals Losing Methods and Points Way to ». Bigger Profits. fFrom Banker farmer) A farm cannel properly be <aIM 'gprtcessful unlees it pays a fair rata •f interest oa the invaatmeat and ratarpi, fair wages for lha fanasr . la bar. 5 Agriculture la considered by all oddi the most Important industry in the wet Id. and yet in ne ether indueUy Is the busineu and aa neglected j -'•lt is common to find a farmer with pa investment of fifteen to twenty thousand dollars, yet doe a ha keep ißooks’ Perhaps he may jot down a noia aow and then of an important deal, but thia la of no value in an nnalyaia of his business as a whole. No other Industry, however small, is carried on without bwoks of some sort. Farming is a business and to bo successful must be conducted tn a businesslike way. The business mas a mind should have indelibly printed’ upon it two gnestiens: What profit is my business making? How can that ■ profit be increased? To know the lat j ter, one mast find out the former; and to find out about profits requires the keeping of books. It is not necessary for a farmer te have a course in bookkeeping. Almost every agricultural college fa the country has issued a simplified farm accounting book which it sells at eost and only a few minutes are required each day to jot down the day s hap penings. Accounts Increase Profits Instances number a thousandfold where farmers hsve profited by knowing their business. Accounts kept by nineteen farmers In Illinois led them to improve the organization and oper , ation of their farms in ways that added approiitnatoly S<SO to their avsr-j ag" net income tn 1922, the seventh year they had kept aeconnts. An lowa farmer found at ths end of the first year he kept books that crops fed to livestock brought more money than when sold outright. His figures showed that his cows were poor; compared with other farms is the state, he found the number of ceres cultivated per man on his farm, as well as the number es acres per hnrse, were below average. He rented more 'land and replanned big fields, so that the erop areas per man end horse, were increased. lie sold Mine of his scrubs and bought good cows. The second year his income from the farm, after paying all expenses and iatereuit on the money invested, had see a increased over S3M. Costa Can Be Reguleted I have discovered." says one farm bookkeeper,- "that the kind of man | yea have on a job. as well as the ■ particular team, often makes quite a variation in the cost of performing certain tasks. I have learned from the pagee of my book that if I could have increased the yield es my wheat field by twe bushels and my corn by 'fire bushels I would have realized a rnbstantial profit from them.’ While the farmers may not be able ie fix prices on their products, they do have a voice ia determining the costs of production. To reduce this cost they must first know what the costs are. The number of farmerc wbo are keeping books on their business has increased remarkably tn recent years, but the number of businesslike farmere is woefully small when listed alongside the sum total of the farm era ia the country. Inventory to Indiopenaabie The basis of any system of farm sc counting is the annual property list or inventory. It is the starting point of the farm records. One must take into consideration decreases or increases in the value of all property owned te gauge the progress of the business. Ijic'ring facts as ta ths value of his property, no business man can form an accurate estimais of hew he stands financially. Increased eaah may be due to property which was sold, or increased debts may be duo to improvements made, ft a farmer is falling behind, the inventory will emphasize this fact. Ofteu when a man is discouraged and thinks he is making no progress, his inventories will tell him that ho is better off than he thought At the ecd of each year a financial statement is drawn off. This is tbs farmer’s rating and no farmer with a good financial statement need fear walking into a bank and asking for a loam BANKERS HELP ' A bank in Monrovia, Ind., tests sesd corn for farmers A basement roam 1 was fitted hut last season for the pur--1 pose and 25,609 ears were touted for fifty-six farmers.
