WHEN the small army Of architects
w and artisans has finished the
work now in progress on the Uni
ted States treasury building. the beau
tiful old structure will show the first
material change since 1869. Architec-
turally It still will represent pagan

American peoples worship of money
But visitors to the nations capital who
have not seen the treasury in 40 years
will find some changes for efficiency
and economy.

GREAT CONVENIENCE IN
HANDY FARM WORKSHOP
Having Equipment Repair of Farm Imp1e-
Close a Hand Is Great Saving
Little Training Needed.

BY the aid of little training, to-
gether with the necessary tools and
supplies. the farmer can repair all
ordinary injuries to the farm equip
ment, and as a rule he can do this
in shorter time than would be re-
quired to go to distant shop.
On most farms there is deficiency
Of suitable repair tools and supplies.
and an increased investment along this
line is strongly recommended. Some
farmers, however, need to be caution
ed against hasty, indiscriminate pur-
chases. A small. well selected OUTFIT,
used to the best advantage and we'll
cared for. will prove more satisfactory
than a miscellaneous assortment I'M
properly kept and used. Where spe-
cialized farming is pursued, only the
tools and supplies with which to re-
pair the special farm equipment will
be required. A workbench Of some
kind is essential Illustrations of a
workshop and bench are herewith
shown. These will prove of great as
sistance to farmers In planning these
conveniences.
In deciding what tools and materials
to purchase, always give preference
to those most frequently and urgent
ly needed, passing over those that
will be rarely used.
Keeping a machine or vehicle In
good repair and well oiled not only
increases its efficiency, but lessons
the power required in using 1t.
The proper maintenance OF farm
machinery not only saves money but
avoids dangers to those who operate
them. Keeping the harness and We
hicles in repair may prevent dan
gerous runaway.
So far as possible let the repair
work be done when the regular farm
work is not pressing, as on rainy days
and during the winter season.
Do not have several places for the
storage of repair tools and supplies.
Have one convenient place, and see

CRY W. r. REATTIEO

The successful management OF a
modern farm depends largely uron
the efficiency of the equipment with
which the work is performed. The
equipment of the average farm can
be divided into about three more or
less distinct classes, as follows: First,
and most important, are the build

wagons. and all appliances used in

used In connection with the dairy,

Epworth League Notes,


An interesting business meet
ing of the league was held Fri
day night. Every officer gave
in written reports Of the work
done in their respective depart
ments. Instead of a decrease in
interest these reports show a re-
newed activity. Many leagues
close their work during the hot
summer months, but this league
has introduced some new fea-
lures and has planned a most
aggressive campaign.
Some officers are away for the
summer, but new ones were Sc
lected and the following now
constitute the official summer"
family; Mrs, Ella E. Lane, presi'
dent; Miss Minnie Schmidt, list

macher, End vice-president; Miss
Maude Crane, ard yice-president;
Miss Ida Pfaender, 4th vice
president; Miss Meta Holchak,
secretary; Mr.. Walter Schmidt,
treasurer; Mr.. Albert Dittmar,
Era agent; Miss Esther Dittmar,
organist,
Miss Meta Holchak was elected
delegate to Epworth-by-the-Se
to the state encampment, August
1. Miss Holchak will make a
good representative, being a
charter member of Sinner league
and always, at all times, an ac-
tive, energetic and conscientious
member, performing at all times
any service that may be required
of her,
Mrs. Charles Welhausen Sr.
and Mrs. Lane will attend the
encampment and together with
the delegate, have already re-
served their room at Epworth
Inn. Misses Theresa Jensen,
Esther Dittmar and Ethel Bur-
kett may attend, also Messrs.
Walter Schmidt, Albert Dittmar
and Geo. Seydler.
Sunday night following the
mission study lesson, a special
service for the reception of The
following members was held:
Misses Ella Richter, Olga Runk,
Jewell Mitchell, Theresa Jensen,
Stella VOTERS, Natalia Traut-
vein, Messrs. Louis Wendtland,
Earl Burkett, Lee Grasshoff and
Olan Brown.
A beautiful tribute it was that
this league rendered to Mrs.
Carnes, who is now nearing her
seth birthday, in electing her an
honorary and life member. She
was sent membership card, a

with q rosette of violets, and the
