I. Paul and Barnabas Preaching at
I comum' (vv.- 1-7);
1. Tito It umniier of preaching (v. 1)
This is suggested t>y tiie UMie word
"so” In verse I. .They so,spake thus
a great multitude believed They were
true, preachers. Only that .which
brings conviction of sin antj induces
decisions for Christ cun he truly said
to be preaching in the Biblical sense.
2. Their’ attitude towards opposl
tion (v. 3).
This Is suggested by the Word
"therefore." “l.ong time therefore
they tarried.” The opposition did ooi
prevent their ..jp reaching, but Incited
them to continue preaching. Christian
workers should learn not to give up
work‘because of opposition, ;
3. The 'Lord accompanied their
preaching with miracles (v. S). Since
the opposition was So fierce, the "Lord
granted help which wds needed.
4. The effect of -. their' preaching
(,v. 4.) . • -< -
Tiie multitude of the city was di
vided. Wliere men faithfully - preach
the gospel there will be division. Such
division comes frequently In the home

II. An Attempt to Worship Pant «nd
Barnabas as Gods (vv’.-8-18).
1. The occasion (vv. 8-1.0).
Ii was the, healing of the tatn^ man

Paul pergeiv.ed , that. the cripple trust

could Jiear he bade ihe mpn .to .stand
upright. The cure wgs Instantaneous
for he leaped up and walked (v. 10) i
2. The method (vv. 11-19}.
Thfey calfed Barnabas Jupiteri* and
Paul ’Mercuries ‘because he was the
chief speaker.--The-priest of Jupiter
brought oxen and garlands ready to
offer sacrifice unto.those*men-’fV; IS).

WHAT FARM ACCOUNTING MEANT
IN THE MANAGEMENT OF A FARM
"
.»’« J-’--* ••
Successful Farmer Tells How Pencil Helped Guide HU
Operations and Swell His income-—An Aid to
Better Credit—Shows.Profits and
Prevents Losses.
'T'HE owner and operator of one of the most successful dairy
4- farms in Wisconsin prepared recently for the Agricultural
Commission of the American Bankers Association a first hand
statement of the part farm accounting has played iti the
management of his enterprise. This operator, W. J. Dougan,
: tells the following story:
“When I started farming I began keeping a simple cash
account, but soon found that it was not sufficient for
farm purposes. Such a reaovd did not
take into consideration' t,he vital fac¬
tors of improvements, growth of, live¬
stock or depreciation.
f “Since ,1910 i have kept a complete
account on the accrual" basis. The
accounts, however, are no more than
my farmer can easily keep. The out
I Randing benefits from keeping such
! ilsted
iccounts might be as follows:
The Way It Works
j "1. Income tax reports made easier.
-Accurate and dependable Income tax
j reports can be made from the yearly
iccounts. By keeping them on file 1
* am ahvavg ready to satisfy the tax
! Inspectors. . ■ •
“2. Accounting makes possible a
j budget system.—With the accumulat¬
ed data of the past years, i can ( make
1 nut the budget for the coming year.
The income being fairly Btajble, the
i budget problem Is to adjust th.e ex¬
! penditures. if. one,branch of the busi¬
ness will need e^Jraoi'dinary expendi¬
ture such as new machinery, there
1 must he a “ut in some other branch,
1 such as building or livestock pur
! chased, or fencing.
“3. Accounting gives a true basis
for credit.—Especially has accounting
meant for me larger credit and happy
relatidns with my banker. With a

him the banker can intelligently deter¬
mine what credit I should have. With
a full knowledgj of the farm profits
in the past, I know what credit 1
shouid aecept. No farmer or business
man should accept credit from his.
bank unless >fie is able to put the
money into productive Investment, and
his margin of /profit- assures the ability
to repay the loam’within a reasonable
time. . A. *: > •
“For the farm this reasonable time
cannot -be three or six month*. The
farm turnover ig. too, slow for that. A
helpful and just period of farm credil
for working capital must be from one
to four years.
“There is another benefit from ac
counting—the benefit 'of kriowing
whether one Is going up-’or’down. By
extra sales one might be .flush of
money and buy heavily, thinking he Is
coming out ahead, but in reality he
is sacrificing the, future. On the other
hand, one might feel pinched, and
have little money to spend, but in
reality he is laying up capital."

sion has suggested the following form
of farm credit statement, indicating
the records necessary to be'kept:

FORMAL ENDING OF
THE NIGHT’S DOINGS
A well-known radio announcer was
spending the night in the. home of a
friend. The host did not know that
he was an accomplished snorer, and
had given his guest the adjoining
room, from .which -any sound was per¬
fectly audible. They were just com
fortably settled for the night when
the announcer-started “broadcasting.”
The entertainment. was not favorably
received, and. the . host was unable
to sleep a wink and'was' eontemplat
ing some means for muffling the dis¬
turbing noises, when his guest stopped
snoring abruptly and In a loud voice
said:
“Ladles and genth-men, the program
to which you hyve been listening is
being broadcast to yon through the
courtesy of Blank & Co:,” and with
this he shifted his position and they
both spent the- remainder of the night
in sleep.

By RING LARDNER
X*-X--X«X*-X--X-*XeX--X'-X-*X--:eH-*:
To tlie Editor:
l made > Rip Remark the other day
that 1 wished I Was, in some sort of
a strike and the madam said well
why don’t you get into one and 1
said how can I strike when -I haven’t
got no job answer-me that which for
once she would not.
Well, afterwards I got to thinking
it over and finely 1 seen a way to get
into the game that was by organizing
a husbands union and demanding a
fair trial for the married men. I
talked it over, with a couple other
husbands whom I’m on friendly turns
with them and-we set down and fig¬
ured out a set of demands which
will first bp gave to other husbands
for. their O. K. and then presented
to the wives iu the shape of a ul¬
timatum which if each and every de¬
mand is no’t granted the married men
will walk out on..them tlie day lie
fore Xmas and leave them to explain
to the ktds why -i$unta didn't show
'
• up. »-■• *
■The demands as nmped out is as
follows;
1. A 20 hour Day and a 6 Day Week.
Under the present system the hus¬
band is on the job the whole 24
hrs. of the whole 7 days mid even
while he is asleep he can’t dream
nothing -that don’t remind him of it.
The husband wants-the hrs. between
8 und 12 every night lor rest and rec¬
reation, and Sundays to themself
for meditation and prayer, some¬
where s. away from the. home.
2. The Closed Mouth,
Tlie way It is now you dou’t know
sooner get in the house when the
owner wants to know wliere you was.
The hustgind wants tlie right (o not
answer.’
3. A Increase of at Least 50 Per Cent
In Pocket Money.
The owners is getting bigger al¬
lowances than ever before but the
■husbands is still supposed to go along
on tlie old scale though it costs 3'and
5 times as much to mingle around
and where a person-used to be able
to get' paralyzed on .810 it now takes
$25: and $30 to even feel like you
wanted to bear flip Rosary.
4. Collective Marketing. '
in rare cases, the owner consults
the husband us to what would lie
like for, dinner.but they generally al¬
ways wait until Just after breakfast
when the bare mention of food stuffs
rolls the fur the .wrong way arid even
when a husband can remember*1 ot
Ids favorite dishes at that hr. in the
morning and mentions it out loud Why
he has his trouble for his pains you
■ might say, as the matter will either
b<> flat-gotten arid hushed up bef-we
nightfall or else they tried to get it
but the man at the store advised
them to pass it up as It was libel to
he .a little ranged at this time of yr,
or something.
Jn regards to Demand #4, while
1 don't like to drag in personalities
however, I feel, strained to say that
i have been a husband for better or
worse than 8 yrs. and have never
kept It a secret from the owner that
my 2 favorite viands was oyster
cream stew and doughnuts and yet
during the entire Eight Years War
the no. of messes of doughnuts iu
our home has hardly ran into double
figures of 1 thumb. In tlie case of
(lie doughnuts it is generally always
brougliten up ttmt lard is too expen¬
sive for lardners or doughnuts- don't
set good on the kids or the owner
don’t know If tola can make them or
not and they don’t seem to be no way
of finding nur and If you get them
from the bakery you don't know what
Is' In them though personly I don’t
give a dam as long as they taste
greasy and fill you up.
As far as oysters is consernod
t bey’s a version in the Psaiins that
Says don’t eat them only in months
which is spelt with a r and though
it goes vs. tlie grain for a man to
speak of their wifes shortcomings
suffices to say that they's many a
nice girl that was horn a had speller
and just as many that can't hear the
looks of a calendar .around tlie house
so for all as they know oysters ijniy
he at their zenith In July instead of
vice versa.
5. The Abolition of the Birthday,
The normal husband has as many
birthdays per annum as the owner
but wjiere-as the husband is expegied
to remember the 10 of July or what
ever It is and spend the equal of half
a yrs. gold dues wliere as on*the oth¬
er hand tiie owner if-they don’t for¬
get ttie 6 of March entirely why they
buy you a book that until you have
rend It- through you can set arm-ml
evenings and pare your finger nails.
That is tlie demands as they will
he presented to the owners as soon
os the husbands eon get organized
and i hope, dear editor, ttiat you me
In sympathy with this movement and
will urge all tlie husbands on your
staff as those amongst your subscrib¬
ers to ot once join tlie Amalgamated
Married Men of America aud put a
end to tlig humiliations to which a
member of the servile sect becomes
a party to the minute they are diug
up to tiie harmenial alter and if a
walk out Is necessary on Ihe date
chose which' is Xmas eve why 1 hope
tlie owners will see the light and
bow to tlie inevitable and not try and
continue in business with a gang of
scabs.
