FARM RECORDS ‘
Farmers who are not keeping farm
records should seek the advice of the
county agent as to a suitable form of
record and the method of keeping it,
and be ready at the beginning of the
farm year to make prompt entries ofi
things done during the year. This
may be a record of just one enter-‘
prise or of all the operations of the‘
farm. The record will be fuond very
helpful in finding out the strong and
weak points of the year’s business,
and in deciding on any changes that
may be desirable in the organization
and management fer the next year.
Farmers who are already keeping re
cords should see that the accounts are
summarized and the new inventories
promptly entered for the beginning of
the next year’s business. Farmers
who do not keep books will find it
difficult to make proper returns un
der the Federal income-tax law.

; TURNIP KRAUT
| L
- Some of the citizens of the Due
West neighborhood have just discov
ered a new and useful way to save
turnips for food.
They are grinding them in sausage
mills and putting in salt brine, just
as cabbage kraut is made, and they
say it saves perfectly and vastly im
proves the turnip as a food.
Being fond of both turnips and
kraut we can easily imagine this as
worth while, and we print it to bring‘f
it to the attention of others whol
may have a like taste.
REDUCED PRICES POPULAR
Last week the management of the
Strand Theater announced a reduc
tion of prices to 5 and 10 cents for
a time, in order to see if the patron
age would warrant these prices with
out lowering the standard of the
amusement furnished.
From observation we should say
that their experience must be grati
fying, and we hope they will find it
profitable to continue the popular
prices and their high class of films.
They have recently not only beeni
giving a leading film by a first class
star daily, but one or two good come
dies are run as afterpieces. ‘
We realize that in order to get the
class of films they show, a large pat
ronage is necessary, if the low price
is to be maintained, but we believe
Marietta people are in the habit of
demanding the best, and we believe
there must be a sufficient number of
picture lovers here to warrant a con
tinuance.
A great many people can pay
popular prices often while they would
not be interested if they only went
ocasionally at a higher price.
We have frequently commended
the Strand and it’s management, and
we see no reason to change our opin
ion, and we write this unsolicited
comment on their recent action.
IT WAS WORTH IT |

I'm Glad I joined the army |
I'm glad I came to France! l
I found in all these changes
Excitement and romance! |
I'm glad I faced the Germans!
I'm glad that I was shot,
Because that’s why they laid me
Here in this little cot!
I'm glad two bones were broken!
I'm glad things are no worse!
Just see who tends me daily—
This little Red Cross nurse!
I'm glad for all the struggle!
I'm glad for all the strife!
I've told her that I love her—
She says she’ll be my wife!

f SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
‘ In harmony with a custom long
‘are observing their annual “week of
practiced, the Seventh-Day Adventists
prayer” season this week (Dec. 14-
21) in all their churches throughout
the United States for a united recon
secration service.
For more than twenty-five years
the Adventist denomination in this
country has observed this annual
prayer session. It comes each year
in the month of December, and be
gins and ends on Saturday, the day
they observe for the Sabbath. |
Previcus to the commencing of this|
week of prayer each year official writ
ers of the denomination have prepar
ed and published in their leading
church paper appropriate readings forl
the occasion which they call “week
of prayer readings.” On each of these
eight days the Adventists meet for
about an hour at their churches or
other places of worship. The ser
vices of the day are opened by pray
er, and then the reading for that day
is read. Following the daily read
ing they engage in a season of prayver,
rededicating themselves anew to God
and His service. After this, an op
portunity is given to all who wish to
bear testimony. |
The children and young people also
have their prayer readings for this
occasion. These are read and com
mented upon by competent leaders
appointed for the children’s depart
ment. They, too, have their seasons
of consecration prayers. At these
annual occasions, which the Adven
tists call their “spiritual revivals,”
many of the children and young peo
ple are converted to God.
Thus their services continue each
day during this week of prayer. The
reading for the last day is usually on
the needs of the foreign fields, and at
the close of this day’s service an
offering is taken for their foreign mis
sion work. |

WOMAN'’S SUFFRAGE
At a great meeting in Albert Hall,
London, December 9th, attended only
by women, Premier Lloyd George
made a strong appeal for votes for
women. During his address, he call
ed attention to the fact that the man
ner in which the 6,000,000 or more
women of Great Britain vote will
determine the course of her future
legislation. He also declared him
self in favor of placing women on an
equality with men in the matter of
work, wages and marriage laws, as
well as sufferage.
Join the Red Cross—all you need
is a heart and a dollar.
- IT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY
Resolve now to make yourself and
your family as comfortabe as possi
ble this winter. See that warm, ser
viceable clothes, shoes, overshoes, ete.
are provided for each member of the
family, young or old. See that yard
and barnlot are so drained or paths
so arranged that one can walk to
well, barn, cow stalls, etc., without
wading through mud. It is best in
fact to have a covered walk-way to
the well. A quick-heating stove for
the dressing-room and bathroom willi
also help much, as will a wood-shed
for keeping firewood and stove-woodl
dry.—Progressive Farmer.
