A Classification of Ledger Accounts for Creameries is the title of United States department of agriculture Bul-letin 865, recently issued. This bulletin emphasizes the Importance of the use of a definite and logical classification of accounts for keeping the cost and financial records of any business and describes in detail a classification that can be used ' advantageously by creameries.. The classification, of accounts presented in this bulletin, If adopted will insure an adequate basis for correct operating and financial information which will be uniform from year to year, thus enabling comparisons of operating efficiency. The bulletin has been prepared by experts in accountancy In the bureau of markets after a careful study of the methods pursued at a number of creameries in recording their costs and the, financial activities of their business comprehensively and simply.

He worked his way westward through the stormy and tortuous passage between seas at the - southern end of South America. Finding the western ocean peaceful, he named it Pacific. He then sailed to the Philippines, where he found an unknown grave. One ship of his little fleet finally completed its long and trying voyage around the world. The world made much of the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus great discovery. Only Chile will celebrate this anniversary of Magellan. Yet it may be fairly asked: Was not Magellans achievement the greatest? And if It was, is not Magellan the greatest of navigators? To be sure, as John Fiske very properly points out, Magellans voyage has not the unique historic position of the first voyage of Columbus, which brought together two streams of human life that bad been disjointed since the glacial period. Columbus sailed to reach the Spice islands and mistakenly believed to his dying day that he bad succeeded. Magellan succeeded in doing wbat Columbus attempted. Before Magellan met his death in the Philippines he had, the first of men, completed the circle of the earth, for before setting out on his voyage to the west be had visited the Far East In the service of the Portuguese, and had passed the meridian to which be attained n his last' voyage. While be did not live to finish bis career in triumph on the one ship which finally reached Spain, after ah absence of a few days under three years, he had In his two voyages, one to the east and the other to the west, made the circuit of the globe. So Magellans voyage, considered from the viewpoint of its scientific results, of a voyage of exploration and of a test of courage and endurance, seems the greatest achievement In ocean navigation of all history. It is fitting that the Chileans should celebrate this anniversary of this great navigator. Portugal, his native land, and Spain, under whose flag he made the great voyage, have been invited to participate in the celebration. There will be ceremonies both at Punta Arenas and at the Chilean capital, Santiago. A bronze statue of Magellan will be set up. Punta Arenas will be the center of activities. It is a small and rather dreary place, inside the wide arm of the straits at the end of South America In the Land of Fires. The life of Fernao Magalhaes, to give him his Portuguese name, has been as neglected as that of Columbus has been exploited. Yet of all the explorers of his time his career offers the least doubt and his voyage was the most carefully Magellan, ' . , SERVICE QUALITY CLOTHES INSURED WORK GUARANTEED We pay return postage.

MADE BRITISH NAVY GREAT According to Magazine, the Round Pond" in Hyde Park Awoke Ambition of Youth. Great Britain always has been a great business nation, but she only attained her position of sea supremacy in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It came about in this way. A queen, Catherine, consort of George II.. was interested in laying out royal parks, and in that end of Hyde pyrk that Is now called Kensington gardens she decided whimsically that a patch of water was needed. This, is the famous. Round pond, the germ from which the British sea spirit was born. London boys began to sail on the pond .little boats of their own fashioning, but soon shops sprang up to supply them with mass production pattern ships and there is practically no amateur building today. It became the fashion for superior boys to wear sailor suits: and paintings of little boys In the early nineteenth century show that a Jaunty ship in hand was considered artistic and proper, too. It was sea imagination that the Round pond awoke in Great Britain, and without it the greatest of fleets would never survive. It is sea imagination as a national faculty that America needs and must have. There should be a Round pond for boy ship experimenters in every part,, of the United States. The Nations Business. Life and Death a Unity. Life is a. state which follows upen death. Death is a state which precedes life. Which of us understands the laws that govern their succession? The life of man is the resultant of forces. The aggregation of these forces Is life; their dispersion, death. If, then, life and death are but consecutive states of existence, what cause for sorrow have I? And so it is that all things are but phases of unity. What men delight in Is the spiritual essence of life. What they loathe Is the material corruption of death. - But this state of corrup-lio- n gives place to that state of spirituality and that state of spirituality gives place in turn to this state of corruption. Therefore we may say that all in the universe is comprised In unity; and therefore the inspired among us have adopted unity as their criterion. H. A.
