C) SUBMARINE SING ‘IT ELVEN HE British Vessel Fails to Come Up After a Plunge. ACCIDENT NEAR PLYMOUTH Rescuers Were Unabie to Locate the Missing Boat After Hours of Search—Sixth of Type to Fail. = Plymouth, England, Jan, 17.—Two officers and nine men, comprising the crew of the British submarine boat “A-7," are trapped in their craft be- neath the waters of Whitesand bay, about five miles southwest of Ply- mouth . Whether the men are dead or alive has not been established, but navy officials here expressed the opin- jon that all had perished. The exact spot where the little vessel sank has not been detinitely fixed. The “A-7,” in company with the “A-8" and “A-9, made a plunge about- noon while en- gaged in manetivers, but nothing has “been of the “A-7”. since she opened her valves and dived | At first it was bel ad by the-~men on the other submarines that the ‘‘A-7” was merely overstaying, her allotted time beneath the water, but when the of- ficers realized their sister ship waa in distress they sent out signals ‘for aid. Rescue boats were immediately rushed to the vicinity where the “A-7” went down, They threw out grap- sling irons and dragged the bay all afternoon and until darkness: set in. ‘Their efforts were fruitless, however, for never once Was there a tug at a chain to indicate that the iron sides of the plunger had been struck, Was on First Trip. ‘The vA-7" was in charge of Lieuten- ant Gilbert M.

This is the sixth submarine of class A” which has come to grief, and the question is being raised whether the government ought not to abandon this type of boat in favor of the more mod- ern vessels of the “C" and “D” classes, The “A-7" was built in 1904, and measured 150 feet in length. - Her submerged displacement was 204 tons, Her engines devcloped 600 horsepower, which gave her a surfacé speed of six- teen knots and a subinerged speed of nine knots. x Of the class “A” submarines, which have caused the British government grievous losses in men through acci= dents, were the “A-1," wrecked in 1904, on board of which twelve men were drowned; the “A-5," in 1905, with a Joss of four lives; the “A-8," in 1906, when fifteen men perished, and the “A-3,° in 1912, when eleven officers and seamen went to their doom.

Naval officers estimate | CONGRESS WILL MAKE HASTE LEADERS TO HURRY ‘WORK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. All Legislative Business, it ls Expect- ed, Will Be Completed in Time for Campaign. Washington, Jan, 19.—Congress has much business to transact. before it undertakes consideration of anci-trust legislation, It is the aim of Demo- cratic leaders to shorten the session us much as possible. With _the congressional campaign coming next fall, and the Republicans aud Progressives already active, the majority leaders are insistent that all legislative business be disposed of before July 1 at the latest, that every man can be in his district to fight for retention of a Democratic majority in both houses of the next congress. , The fact that senatorial contests, under the direct elections amend- ment to the constitution, are pending in many states, makes the situation more urgent from a eampaign stand- point. t President ‘Wilson, as the leader of the dominant party, is as eager as the chieftains in congress to limit the session as much as possible and all are pulling together to expedite legis- lative matters. Conferences on a leg- islative program wilk be held in tha near future. It is practically certain appropria- tion bills and many other: important matters will be out of the way before the trust program is ready. Among the most important measures pending are the Alaskan Railroad Bill, which will pass the senate soon, rural credit , to be undertaken by the and currency committee soon; regulation of stock exchan3es as proposed in the Owen Bill upon which public hearin “are to begin February 4, and the Panama Canal tolls question. i With the> Alaskan—bill ont of the Ww Senator Smith of Georgia will press the Agricultural Extension bill, which would provide ultimately an an- nual appropriation of $3,000,000 to he expended through the tural colleges in educating the Y ; of the country along advanced ultural lines. An amendment to increase the ultimate appropri to $5,000,000 offered by Senator Sim: i mons of North Carolina is pending.

Trowbridge, Professor of Animal Husbandry, University of Missouri It does not pay to produce a cheap horse at the present time. ~ The production of horses, as well as other classes of live stock, is being rapidly reduced to a strictly business basis.

R. Johnson, Assistant Professor of Farm Management, Uni- versity of Missouri. Take a farm inventory. The annual inventory. should be con- sidered as important by the farmer as by anyone else, because the farmer. uses and controls a larger amount of capital than any other class of busi- ness men. If for no other reason than to have a list of the property which he possesses, every farmer should take an inventory. It will show him from year to year the gains or losses in his business. ¢ The taking of an inventory does not mean a large amount of. difficult work. It means that a.man list the different kinds of property .which he owns and determines its value. The things to consider are. thes Real state, farm equipment, live stock, feeds and supplies, household equip- ment and supplies, bills receivable, bills payable and cash. If these dif- ferent items are listed it will be easy to calculate the loss or gain for the year. : ‘In making an inventory two things are very important, First, be con- servative in estimates—place values as nearly correct as your good—judg- ment will enable you. Second, do not overlook any part of your property. The value of the farm will not inore or less estimates and call for the best judgment. You will have to-con- sider the condition of your tools at the time of taking the inventory in all cases. You can usually tell about what it would cost you to replace such a tool. All tools should be listed sep- arately, down to those worth $1 or less. The value of these can be given fm one sum. = Feed and seed are easy to measure and place values on, as there is a defi- nite market price for each. All sup- plies on hand, such as wire, paint, lumber, etc., can easily be measured up. The money that other people owe you and that you owe others should not be overlooked. Neither should you neglect to list the amount of cash on hand. © After your inventory is made, if you will list it, subtracting your bills pay- able from the amount labeled “total assets,” you will have the present worth for the year. The difference between the present worth at the be- ginning and close of the year is your loss or gain for that year. ; The following. table shows an inven- tory for two years and how the pres- ent worth is arrived at: ~ Inventory Inventory 1912. 1913. seeees$ 1,895.00 $ 1,775.00 3,880.00 3,910.00 250.00 220.00 415.50 362.00 149.85 159.56 1,564.00 1,593.00 Horses ..
