OUR FARM WOMEN CAN KEEP ROOKS Simple Accounts Wiill Tell Each Year What Land Does IN MODERN TIMES IT PAYS TO KNOW Household Arithmetic Has Be come Essential For Proper Practice and Economy The modem farmer's wife is no longer satisfied with the old accepted idea that "The farm gives us a living," but she gets out her pencil and paper and asks, "How much of a living does it give us?" Generations ago neither the farm nor the farm household had any but minor dealings with the outside world. Under such conditions the need for accounts was slight. But these conditions no longer exist. The farm household, though still in many cases receiving its major support in farm products consumed at home, pur chases far more extensively than over before from outside sources. Farm household accounts have become essential to economy. Household expenses on the farm are very intimately associated with the business of the farm itself. The farm normally supplies much material which otherwise would become a* household expense. The household in turn, very often furnishes board for farm labor, which would otherwise be a farm expense. Merely from1 the standpoint of keeping track of household expenses as related to the f/jrm business, household accounts items may be totaled at the end ot the month and those totals carried to \ the summary page at tho end of tlie book. The kind of book to use is not im* portant. An ordinary blank daybook or lodger book with, a stiff cover may l)c bought at a reasonable price, i. the vortical rulings in tho book do not servo the purpose others may he inserted with a pen or pencil. Accounts are sometimes kept in a book having small pages. A small page however, is soon filled, is often crowded and the information b scattered over too many pages foi convenience in recording and studying the expenditures. In order to simplify accounts it is well to group expenditures. If ai individual items were listed in scpa rate columns, it would require ? great amount of detail work. Th< distribution of the different house hold expenditures into groups i largely a matter of individual view points. The following 10 division should be satisfactory for the avei ' age farm family: Animal food, fruit and vegetables, cereal products, otl or groceries, clothing, household fut nishings, running expenses, advance mcnt, incidentals, and savings. B&-. it FREEDOM OF SEAS ONE DIG QUESTION Paris.?The restriction of submarine operations against merchant arp dps j ruble and should servo to supplement {ip'J 1'pinuj out farm ac ounts, ' "There are two methods of keeping , a record of household expenditure*. One is to record the purchases or money paid out without classifying the expenditures. The other is to classify when the record is made. The first method is very simple, re ^ciukcs no special form, and gives all necessary information regarding ex"liinnil{Hri?Ac A I Uirt onil nf tlin mnntll V?<1 v-o, A&.V VIIV4 V.IIVI VI w??v *1&V..?.. or at the end of the year the total expenditures readily may be* determined. In order, however, to know the totals for each kind or class it will be necesary to make up a monthly summary in which the items will be distributed in different columns, by classes. The extra work at the end of each month (or at the end of the year) may cause discouragement and neglect of classification, with the result that the greatest good that couhi be domed from the records Is not realized. . Uxi'lcv the second method, in addition to being entered all together in one column, the items are classified in separate columns, This method has the same advantages as the first method and the additional advantage of allowing for the distribution of the itmes of expenditure to the proper classes without the intonfenience of turning to some other page. The distribution may he left to moments of leisure if the farmer is busy at the time the entry is jnade. When the page is filed the next page is begun, I the top line next to the heading being reserved for the total carried for ward from preceding page. The ships so as to prevent attack4, like that against the Lusitania doubtless will be proposed in the discussion by the peace congress of the "freedom of the seas" question. It is the view of leading naval authorities who have examined this branch of the subject that submarine operations should be limited to attaching ships forming the regular part of r navy. Attacks would be prohibited against merchant ships, either passenger or freight and whether armed defensively or otherwise. According to this view, submarines would continue to be an arm of a naval service but their service would be confined strictly to naval warfare. This and many other subjects to come before the peace congress are now in a formative state as it will besome time perhaps a fortnight, before the regular sittings of the interallied conference are resumed to arrange for the preliminaries of the congress. In the meantime, none of the British, Italian or other foreign delegates arc here except Col. E. M. House, the American representative to the conference, who is confined to his bed with the grippe. Several members of his staff also are down with the prevailing epidemic. But those charged with the preliminaries are going ahead and diplomatic circles are actively discussing various phases of the big questions tc come before the congress. c FARMERS SHOULD HOLD. Farmers have already had a large portion of their cotton crop ginned. Every day the gins in this county are running full time ginning out the rest of the crop as rapidly as it is picked out and hauled to them. In the moan time it becomes more and more apparent that the farmers must hold their crop otT the market if they would get a price in proportion to the cost of other things brought, on by the war. Leading farmers all over this State are joining in iho movement to hold the crop for thirty-five cents. ? o CHILDREN'S KIDNEYS No Conway Mother Should Neglect the Little One's Health. Oflentimofc weak kidneys cause great annoyance and embarrassment to children. Inability to control the kidney secretions, at night or while at play, is attributed to carelessness and too frequently the child is punished. Parents having children troubled with kidney weakness would do well to treat the kidneys with a tested and proven kidney remedy. If there is pain in the back, discolored urine, irregular urination, headaches, dizzy spells or a tired, worn-out feeN ing try Dean's Kidney Pills at pncc. A remedy that has been used in kidney troubles for over 50 years and has been recommended by thousand Proof of merit in a Conway citizen's statement. Mrs. J. T. Denton says: "My little girl was troubled terribly With kidney trouble. Ho)' kidneys acted very irregularly and bothered her especially at night.

TO HOMY HERA TICK QUARANTINE OVER IN HORRY But Dipping of Cattle Will Have to go on For Another Year. Washington, Dec. 2.?South Carolina has been freed from the domination of the cattle fever tick. An order signed by the Secretary of Agriculture, D. F. Houston, authorized the release on December 1 of ten counties along and near the seaboard, the last remaining areas in the State under Federal restrictions against the free movement ol cattle. The counties to be freed are Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Hampton, Horry, Jasper, and Williamsburg. They have a total area of R.730 square miles. Thus South Carolina, all of which was placed under Federal quarantine on July 1, 1906, becomes 100 per cent lick-free. Farmers and live stock raisers in all sections of South Carolina will he free on December 1 to market their cattle wherever the.v desire without interference by the Federal authorities, and without the necessity of accc pting prices lower than those paid for cattle from other tick-free regions. They may bring in better breeding stock without danger that the imported cattle will die. from tick fever, and their cattle will be making flesh and milk instead of feeding parasites. But cattle dipping will be continued in Horry County next year. It is only the Federal quarantine that ts ended in Horry. o ??
