The session developed Into a general discussion of accounting and auditing systems, and the consensus of opinion was that books of the co-operative com panies are not as regularly and thoroughly , audited as they should he for their own good and the good of the local managers themselves. "I want to ask," said Secretary Bhort- i bill, ''how many companies represented . here this afternoon carry a surety bond with some bonding company for their manager?" . Perhaps half the hands In the house went up. "Hew many know theprovlslonsoft.be bond 7 "continued- the secretary. Tewer hands went up. "Ilow many know that they are com plying with the requirements of that con tract in the matter of the regular aultlng of the books?" the secretay went on. Hands now dwindled down to less than a half dosen, "Well." said Secretary BhorthUl, "you had better read those provisions and com ply with them for your own protection. .Jon't you realise that if at any time any thing should go wrong and you should find your accounts short, you couldn't collect a penny from that bonding com pany unless you could show that you hod comptlod with the letter of the contract by regular and systematic audltsT" Aeosssli Shaald Be Cheeked. j President J.

RUPTUEE WITH AUSTRIA SEEMS FEW DAYS AWAY (Continued from Psge One.) wer so far aa officials can Judge from the unofficial text received here. American officials believed that taking as a basis ths official statement of the Austr'an admiralty that the Aneona was shelled, torpedoed and sunk while pas sengers were still aboard, there would be little room for discussion of Secretary Lansing's contention, that the commander violated the principles of International law and humanity, and that it was "wanton slaughter of defcnseloss non combatants.' Break Beeme Probable. Officials pointed out today that a thor oughly unsatisfactory and unresponsive reply from Austria - Would bring diplo matic relations betweea the two countries to a dials because of ithe closing words of Secretary Lansing's note.' which de clared that "good relations between the two countries rest upon a common regard for law and humanity," and that Austria, appreciating the gravity of the case, "will accede to Its (ths United States) demand promptly." ' Specifically the note demanded de nouncing the sinking of the Aneona aa an "illegal and undefennlble act," pun ishment of the commander who "perpe trated the deed," and payment of an in demnity to those Americans who suf fered. The note stands aa ths most vigor ous of all the American correspondence of the war and was not equalled even by the note at the close of the submarine controversy with Germany. Austria's dlplomatlo relations with the United States since the recall of Ambas- sador Dumbe for his eonnecUon with plots to cripple American munitions plants have been maintained by the em- bassy here, with Zweldlnek as charge d'affaires. , Baron Zweldlnek had no official dls- (. patches from Vienna, but after reading ths news dispatches he went to the State aeprimeni ana conferred Informally with Secretary Lansing. Previously the baron had Inquired what the attitude of the United States would be toward an Huwoemnoie repiy. Hudson Named for Postmaster at Lincoln, Neb, f WASHING TON, Deo.

"It has been charged, in view of the profits we make, that we are gambling with the farmers' money. But I know of no other way than selling above or below the buying price, I have always watched the markets and tried to sell above. That's all there is to It." C.
