continue to supply almost an unlimit-

Sducers realize there cannot be an ap-
preciable advance in the price OF east

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1914-01-01
An Automobile PloW.

The following article taken from the
Globe-Democrat, St. Louis, Mo-, will be
read with much interest by our Garrett
county farmers. Says the Globe Dem
ocrat. Inventions are now IN making
that will radically modify the economic
status of the farmer. Many agrlcultur-
al problems will be solved by new ma
chinery that is at the present time in
process of development
Take ploughing for example, Most
laborious and most expensive of all ag-
rIcultural operations, 1t uses up more Of
the farmers time than other work he
has to do. The question naturally sug-
gests itself, cannot we find some easier
way to turn the soil over and stir it up?
An Omaha man, named Jardine, him
self farmer, claims to have solved this
problem by the invention of an entirely
new contrlvance for the purpose, which
according to the inventor, requires less
than half the power used by the mold
board pillow. So important does it ap-
pear that the president of the onion
Pacific Railroad, after seeing a rough
home made model at wolk. turned
over to the inventor the facilities of his
great shops at Omaha, and placed at
his disposal the services OF his chief
engineer, IN order that the device
might be perfected.
The plough is an automobile. Its
principal feature is a big cylinder,
eight feet long. five feet in diameter
and weighing six or seven tons, which
forms the hind wheels of the machine.
The cylinder is covered with sharp
pointed steel teeth, SIX, eight or ten
inches in length. AS it rolls over the
ground the teeth stick into the soil and
carry the latter up over the cylinder.
A second cylinder, close behind, like
wise provided with teeth, rakes the
earth off and drops it back in a nnely
pulverized condition.
Now, a team of horses. engaged in
ploughlng travels mile and half, or
possibly as much as two miles, an hour.
A traction power pillow covers ground
at rate of two and a quarter miles an
hour, perhaps. But 1t is claimed for
tins new automobile plough that it runs
SC light that it travels from four to five
miles an hour, and does a better lob.

THE PEOPLE MODIFY RE.
SPONDED To THE CALL
For Aid In The Work OF The Civic Club
In Spreading Christmas Cheer.

A few noble women of Oakland
succeeded in a very few days in work
that took with it cheer into the homes
of many of Oaklaud's less fortunate
residents by sending out call for help.
asking for donations of anything to wear
and eat and for toys for the children
who would probably have had nothing in
this line on Christmas day had it not
been for the foresight of the members
of the Club. AS it transpired, however,
everyone that was needy was re-
membered and the result was all enjoy
ed truly Merry Christmas.
The report of the committee having
this branch Of the Civic Clubs work is
printed below.
Oakland as a whole surely showed
a true Christmas spirit in its generous
gifts to the less fortunate ones of this
small town on last Tuesday and Wednes-
membered by donations sent in from
lodges, churches, merchants and private
families. 1t would make quite a long
list to mention all these latter ones
enough it is to say they responded by
giving great quantities of clothing and
groceries; also many toys that were
lDNeu by lHSlT own HUE ONES were
parted with in order that another of
Gods children could be made happy.
The merchants gave abundantly. Mr..
Andrew Gender generously donated
three large boxes full of toys, sleds and
wagons; Mr.. Dixon donated one-half
box of oranges and manv useful things;
MIR. Creutzburg gave clothing, grocer
les, shoes, etc; Mr.. Hart, shoes and
clothing; Mr. Offutt, groceries. toys
and candies; Mr. Weimer, shoes; Mr..
White, groceries; Mr.. Lauer, pop corn
balls and candy; Mr.. Bolden. full box
of coffee and case of canned corn;
Mr.. f. G. Hyde, toys, ribbons. etc. ;
Mr. James d. Hamill books; Mr.. James
Treacy, groceries and baskets; Messrs.
Davis & Sons, dishes, toys and calen-
dars. To make possible the delivery Of
all these things Messrs. Thomas Harne
and ]. M. Stanton donated the use Of
their teams and saw that the articles
were placed in the proper hands

SOME DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.
New Tariff Is Cutting A Great Big
Fline.i

Secretary of the Navy Daniels, boasts
that he forced down the price of Amer
lean beef contracted for by the NAVY
Department. A Washington dispatch
says:
The recent action of the Navy De-
partment in buying beef from Argen-
tina has forced down the prices of
American packers. This is shorun, the
Navy Department announced to-day.
by bids just opened at various nav
OFFICES from competitors for domestic
contracts IOr the month of January,
February andMarch.
AT every port, excepting Norfolk and
Hampton Roads, prices for American
beef were based on Argentina quota
lions, resulting in saving of several
thousand dollars. Awards will be plac-
ed for American beef at all ports except
the two mentioned, those awards going
10 Argentina.
Under the old high tariff law" said
Secretary Daniels, this saving could
not be effected, but the recent Dem
Ocratlc tariff bill allows the importation
of foreign meet free of duty.
MOI Under the old high tariff law
no Argentina beef could be brought
llto the United States to force down
The price paid the American farmers
Tor American cattle; nor under the cid
nigh tariff law could the money paid by
the American farmers as taxes to the
American government be sent abroad
TO buy Argentina Deef for the purpose
of creating special competition for the
American farmer. The American
money sent to Argentina for beef is
gone. 1t will not return. Spent in
this country it would have still been here
TO help buy American products and pay
TO American working men. The few
thousand which Mr.. Daniels may have
saved by shopping the United States
beef contract all over the world have
been saved at the expense of the Amer
lean producer, and at a loss to the whole
country.
Here is another sample of the benefit
of the new tariff to the foreigner:
Welsh tinplate makers have booked
orders for forty thousand tons for de-
livery to American canning and oil
concerns between now and June. The
American tariff, which had almost de-
stroyed the Welsh tinplate trade, pi ON
ises IN its revised form, to prove the
salvation of the Industry as they
now find they are able to compete sue
cessfully with American competitors.
