EDDYToRIAL

We desire to call the attenshion
of the town Selectmen to the awful
necessity for complete new outfit
for the Bingville fire department,
which dire need is represented by
one round dozen of new water
pals.
It is the misshion of the Bugle
as the best advertising medium in
the country, and otherwise newsy
and up-to-date newspaper, to look
out after the towns best interests.
1t is our sacred duty as editor and
prop. and printers devil and type
setter and advertising mgr. of the
Bugle to see the needs of Bingville
and call attenshion to them in red
hot editorials, like this one, for in
stants. It keeps US pretty bizzy
seeing something to call attenshion
to in Bingville every week, but it
is our opinion that we do right well
if we do say it ourself, according
to our opportunities. We don't
scairsely ever get what we ask for,
but we have the consciousness of
having saw Our duty and done it.
The wood pals, which has been
in use by the Bingville fire dept.
for the past 10 years has went to
rack and ruin, as you might say,
and at the present writing there
amt one that will hold water no
more than a sieve. AS for the rest
they have been borrowed from the
Town Hall by inscriptions per-
sons needing a water pail and never
returned. What is the result, we
ask? The result is that if a raging
fire was to break out in our midst
at a unexpected moment we would
be unprepared to handle it. The
brave and heroick members of the
Bingville fire dept. can't carry water
to put out a fire within buckets if
they amt got no buckets, can they?
It is ridiculous to think so.
In interview which we had with
Jason Tucker, chief of the fire dept.
Jason stated that him and his men
was ready to fight the flames to the
death if necessary, but they'd be
burned if they'd fight EN- unless
they had pals to carry water in.
Jason said if the Selectmen had any
git up to them they would buy a
dozen new water pals, even if they
had to bond Bingville to do it. Ia
son said it was criminal careless.

dozen could be bought at Her

four dollers. What is three or four
dollers compared to Bingville being
a total loss by FIRE? We answer
nothing!
What does the town Selectrnen
expect the fire department to do
supposing a big fire breaks out I'M
expected in Our midst? Do they
expect the members of the fire de-
partrnent to carry water to the fire
in their hats? The sooner our lazy,
loafing, dooless, good for nothing
town Selectmen wakes up to the
interests of Bingville the better it
will be for their reputashions. Let
us have a dozen new fire pals so
that our fire department will COM
pare favorably with that of Hard
scrabble. If there amt no money
in the town treasury to buy these
pals with (which there ain't) then
let somebody get up petishion and
raise enough money to buy the pals
with by public subscripshion. The
Bugle will head the list with 25
cents.
1t is a shame and disgrace and
contumely and wart on our rep
utashion as town that we are not
able to keep our fire department in
a fit condishion to fight a fire with.
What will the neighboring towns
think of us and what does our push
luminous town Selectmen care if
they do? These three men who
have been elected to fill the highest
office within the gift of the voters
of Bingville without salary or other
ernolurnents, will tempt fate too far
one of these days-yes, they will
wake up some morning, like as not,
and find the thriving, busting town
of Bingville a total loss and no in
surance.

and give him a terrible wallopin until
he hollered that he. had had enough.

Seth then returned into the hall and
said he had drove them off, but not
without desprit struggle.
About the middle of the concert there
was intermishion to let the band boys
rest, during which time hot coffee and
sandwiches was served to ali present.

although Brad blowed until he ike TO

for good. Sally is regular cut-up when
she gets out in company.
The second half of the concert was
even more interesting and mysterious
than the rest if anything After the
boys had played one peecooliar sound
ing piece Cy Hoskins rose to his feet
and said:
Esteemed members of the band
While they are no doubt those present
who approximate classic musick. it is my
firm opinion that the great majority of
those within sound of my voice would
like to hear some of the old familiar
airs. | therefore ask yO.- to play
Marching Through Georgia"
That's what we just got through
playing" says Jed Perkins. and Cy col
lapsed into his seat and didn't have no
more to say. Taken as a whole, how
ever, the concert was very exciting and
entertaining Before it was half over
several went home with headaches with
out even asking for their money back.
1t seemed to be the general opinion of
those who enjoyed the concert that the
Town Hall was too small to give band
concert in. It seemed to be a prevalent
opinion that if the boys was out somers
playing in the middle of a f0-acre field
and the spectators could lissen to their
musick about a mile and a half away
1t would have more of soothing and
subdued effeckt.
The proceeds from the benefit was
rather a disappointment, amounting 70
only $l.50, not cornting expenses of the
sandwiches and coffee which was donat-
ed free. This may seem rather strange
when the hall was crowded, but it will
be understood when IT IS explained that
each member of the band had the privi-
lege of inviting members of his family
and his relatives and friends for moth
ing, which embraces about all the popu-
fashion of Bingville and surrounding
country, and those who paid 10 cts. ad-
mishion presumably had no friends.
$50 won't go very fur towards buying
new uniforms for the boys, but every
little helps.

BENEFIT''TED!
That's What the BingViIIs Horn
Band Was by a Grand Band
Concert, but Only to the Ex-
tent Of $3.50 cts Wich Amt
Much

The Bingville Horn Band which all
our citizens is proud of, gave a enter
tainment in the Town Hail last Thurs
day night which they called "Bene-
fit"
1t was for the purpose of raising
enough to buy new uniforms with If
possible, and if not possible, then to
raise as much money lords 1t as posi-
bic. Ever since the boys bought their
second hand instruments from the band
which broke up at the Co. seat, they
have been hankering for uniforms so
that when they appear in public they
will look like soljers agoing to war, as
it were. We do not blame them for this
and it will be a happy day in Bingville
when our horn band can go forth on
dress parade clothed in bright colors
and gold braid.
The entertainment was announced by
posters which was tackled up all over
town and the word spread until every
body hereabouts was aware of the bene-
fit. The posters (Which were printed at
this office, if you desire any job print
ing did call on us) also announced that
a admission fee of the small sum of 10
cents would be charged to get into the
entertainment and that the programme
would consist of large number of
pieces played by the band, which they
have been prackticing on for several
weeks.
The hall was crowded to the doors
by p. m. on the night of the concert
Jed Perkins, our intelligent school teach
er. who is leader of the band and who
also knows the notes and can almost
read musick, announced that the band
would first play My Country-It's of
Thee" as a sort of overchoor. The boys
was all up on the platform facing the
audience, and Jed turned TO them and
held DIP his hand for them to begin, but
Ranse Hillyer holiered out to for good
ness sales wait a minnit because his
trombone had stuck and he couldn't
bulge it. Presently Ranse got It SO as
It would slide and they begin to play.
Most everybody in the house was IA
nliliar with MY Country-It's of Thee"
but scarcely nobody recognized It. This
was probably because they put so many
variashions into it.
The next peece was called a Classick,
by Chophang, whoever he is. It went
off pretty well, considering. Bill Hep
burn, who plays the base drum, while
watching his musick missed the drum
and hit Rufe EIlxins a turribIe cIout on
the ear. Rufe would of doubtless want
ed to fight if it had of been anybody
else but Bill.
Then come 'Lissen to the Mocking
Bird" Just as the band was about to
begin to play Deacon Butterworth, who
was standing back by the door called
out that there was several unscrupuIous
persons standing out in the road in
front of the Town Hall lissening to
the concert instead of paying to come
inside like gentlemen, and he, for one,
thought it ought to be stopped. AT this
Seth Dewberry, our heroick town con-
stable, got up and said he would attend
to that, and Seth walked boldly out and
told those who was in front to either
pay their 10 cents or else vacate the

Sheet from a Farmers "want Book"

will furnish the necessary information,
as, "One machine bolt 21a inches by
" inches" This, with others which
may be required, may be purchased in
one order. which will probably result
in saving of one-half.
While this system may seem at first
thought somewhat cumbersome,
glance at the suggested sheet will
show that it viii in the end save time
and money. and at the same time dis
pense with worry and aggrayation at
very busy season of the year.
When the repairs and special bolts
have arrived, take them with an extra
supply of bolts, nuts and split cot
ters and a kit of tools. Proceed with
the work as occasion permits, and in
short time all of the home work is
completed. The work usually done at
the village shop should be noted and
the list left in a convenient place so
that no extra time is required in To-
eating it and arranging for the work.
Some farms are fortunate enough to
have their own shop, and where such
conditions exist it is not necessary to
take the plow shares to the village
for sharpening, but this and many 9TH
er kinds of such work can be done at
home. The large farms having great
The Glenwood post., 1912-05-11

Few farmers have a definite idea
81 the total amount Of money invested
IN farm machinery. If you were to
ask John Smith how much his farm
machinery was worth he would be un-
able to answer you. He would proba-
bly, tell you that the different imple-
ments cost 80 much and that there
we're q number of repairs for several
Of these. That these implements were
10 many years old, and were probably
worth only about half Of what they
we're at first. Possibly he had bought
yome Of these secondhand, and had
never kept any record of the money
Invested in farm machinery.
Farming being business, should be
run on business principles, If one is to
know where he is making or losing
money. So with the machinery the
arst cost and repairs should be re-
corded and strict account kept of all
labors involved in the up-keep of the
different farm machines. This can
only be done by regular business meth
DDS. The operator Of the small farm
may feel that this is not important, and
from his point of view 1t may not be.
Yet actual experience shows that un-
less some records are kept in operat-
ing farm 1t is extremely difficult to
The Glenwood post., 1912-05-11

Or requirements will naturally require
more machinery, so that the one in
charge Of the machinery should not
lose sight Of the fact that large sup
ply Of common repairs is better than
to be out half of the time, thus caus-
ing unnecessary delays in the farm
operations.
The stock Of duplicate parts to be
ordered should be for sickle sections,
heads and pitmans for the mowers
Rivets, wearing plates. ledger plates,
guards, ETC., or any such list as seems
necessary to prepare for the neces-
sary farm machines. Any one who is
at all interested in farm machinery
should be able to devise some plan
which would greatly facilitate the
handling and repairing of the farm ma
chinery.
To insure the greatest efficiency
of plow, cultivators and all such i'm
plements, 1t is good plan to cover
the face of the moldboards and shov-
els with a good grade of heavy ma
chine oil or fair grade of hard OIL
This treatment will keep the wearing
surfaces free from rust, SO that the
extra work of securing these imple-
ments in the spring will be done away
with. To get the greatest returns for
money invested in farm implements
one must have as few delays as pos
sible.
In keeping before you the first cost
and repairs of the different farm i'm
plements, few cards as here shown
will be of great help. In this way you
can quickly find how much your wag-
on, mower, or any implement has cost
since 1t was purchased. The deprecia-
ton can also be more quickly calcu-
lated, and in many ways this will as
s1st in determining the gross earnings
of the farm each year. This card sys-
tenn might be carried still further by
adding to 1t double column at the
right, the extra column showing the
amount of work or the value of the
work done with each implement. This
Is shown on card describing gang
plow.
The scheme described here is not
entirely new, as some farmers are
using methods which in some ways
are similar, but the card system and
day book are much handler and more
economical.
