KEEPS TRACK OF HIS TOOLS.
Roland L. Patten Has Unique Sys-
tem-knOws Where Every Tool
Can BE FOund Even With n Large
Crew of Men.

Roland T. Patten has worked out
the best system for keeping track of
his tools, that has ever been tried
on Maine farm The scheme is
simplicity Itself, yet with fifteen or
sixteen men working about the place,
he can locate any tool or implement
at any time with scarcely a minute s
delay. During the rush of the past
season it has already saved him the
equivalent of good many collars.
The basis of the system is a small
building devoted entirely to the stor-
ing of the tools and implements.
Then there is place for each sep
arate article, and both the article it
self and th9 place where it belongs
carry duplicate numbers, and these
are arranged in series, running
around the room. just inside the
door there is posted typewriter list
which gives the name and number
of each and every tool, and also the
name and number of every employee.
Corresponding with the latter are a
series of circular cardboard tags
The working of the system is best
described by quoting from the posted
rules.
ANY person mentioned in the list
of employees at Eaton Mountain farm
as posted inside, may take out tools
by complying with the following di-
rections:
First-Ascertain your personal
number by consulting the list of EN-
ployees.
Second-Take one of your number
ed tags from its place and hang 1t
in place of the tool or implement you
take.
Third-Return tool or implement
to the building after using"
There are other directions design
ed to cover cases where tools may
need cleaning or repairs. reason
able amount OF wear ana tedl pelhs
of course expected. The essence of the
whole thing is this If anybody goes
to the storehouse for tool and 1t is
not there, Il glance will tell him what
employee has it. To locate it then
is very simple, and there is none OF
that too frequent jangling over who
had some particular tool last and
where he left it.
Discipline is maintained by the
simple expedient of dedncting "a
cents from the pay envelope OF any
employee caught violating the rules
AS a matter of experience the rules
are not violated.
Every farm must have some place

NEW ENGLAND CROP.
Averages Better Than Rest Of United
States.

Crop growth throughout the United
States was unfayorable during July,
according to the bureau of statistics
of the department Of agriculture in a
statement issued recently. The deteri-
Grafton was about AZ per cent, as
compared with the average decline OF
2.3 per cent during July. Aggregate
crop conditions in the United States
On August were SIS per cent lower
than on August l of the past ten
years. However, the area under cul-
tivation is about 3.2 per cent more
than last year. Conditions average
highest in New Hampshire, % per
cent above the average, due largely
to good hay prospects and average
lowest In North Dakota, SO per cent
below the average. due to severe
dreuth affecting crops.
by states, the aggregate of crop
conditions on Aug. Goo represent
ing the average on Aug. /, of the
past ten years was as follows:
Maine, 112; New Hampshire, l25;
Vermont, 119; Massachusetts, III;

to keep tools. A few hours would
be ample to install such system
and once arranged there is no main
tenance. A thing can be put back
in the right place as quickly and
easily as in the wrong Everyone
who has visited Eaton Mountain farm
has been impressed by the excellence
and practicability of Mr.. Patten' S
system and the idea is bound TO
spread.

A fruitful study would be consid-

their work: they had been faithful,
and that is the highest success pos
sible to mortal or angel. They had the
masters well done, good and faith

NEWS AND NOTES.

The organization of the Boy Scouts
is to be introduced into the public
schools Of Boston, Mass, in the belief
that the principles for which 1t stands
will make for greater efficiency among
the pupils.
The first American International
Humane Conference will be held in
Washington, D. c., October 1918, to
consider and discuss the various prob
lens which retard human progress.
A revised edition of the New Tesla
ment and Psalms in the Chinese Ian
guage has been completed and is now
being printed and distributed through
out the Chinese empire, the Bible So
cieties of the world bearing the ex-
pense of the work. 1t is expected that
the revision of the whole Bible will be
completed in 1915.
The number of, Roman Catholic
monasteries in England has increased
from 70 in 1851 to LIB in 1908, and
the number Of priests from 95S to
ABB.
Trinity church, New York, has dis
posed of its tenement property and
will hereafter draw no income from
disreputable dwellings in the slums of
that city. Its property will now be in
vested in business blocks.
In about twenty-five years the Chris
tan Endeavor society has grown to a
membership of nearly 100000 with
only twenty persons paid to give
all their time to the work, a record
without a parallel in religious organi-
cations mixing it more nearly a vol
untary society than any other.
There are less than $4,000 Chris
tan Indian communicates of any name
in the entire country, and of these by
far the larger proportion are adher-
entS of the Episcopal church.
A proposition concerning change
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-10-08

in the name of the Protestant Episco-
pal church has been made and seems
likely to be adopted. 1t Is suggested
that the name 1.-THE American Catho-
lie church" be substituted for the one
now in use.
A reorganization at the Yale Divinity
school has been made with the pur-
pose Of adapting the institution more
fully to modern needs. The changes
will mean four-fold multiplication of
the former theological seminary and
will hereafter provide not only for the
training of pastors and preachers in
prepare men for three other forms of
religious ministry: Foreign mission
work in either ordained or lay ca
pacity, religious teaching in churches
or colleges with especial attention to
the Sunday school, and social and
philanthropic service.
