with thrashing, corn harvest, fall
seeding, hauling, etc., that less important
work is usually postponed until winter.
However, the exercise of a little thought
and the expenditure of a very few min
utes will often save not only hours but
days later on when the weather and
roads get bad and outdoor work is i'm
possible.
Then the odd jobs of overhauling the
farm equipment, repairing, painting, etc,
which have been put off until a slack
season, will require attention; but all
too often the necessary materials will
not be on hand, and the work will be
delayed until it is possible to make a
trip to town, and not infrequently it
remains undone until the busy season
the following year, when necessity de-
mands it.
A list should be made of the things
that will be wanted for this work. 1t
will only take a few minutes to jot
them down as they are brought to mind,
and then on the next trip to town they
may be bought and set aside so they will
be ready when wanted. The condition
of the different machines which will,
or should be, overhau1ed should be noted,
and the parts which will need to be
replaced purchased. Then there are the
odd jobs of repairing buildings, fences,
gates, ETC., which will require lumber
and nails. There is no need to make
an extra trip for them when wanted;
they may be brought home the next
time a load is taken to town. Likewise
the lumber and hardware for the small
jobs of construction which should be
done before spring. Also the paints,
oils, putty, and brushes which will be
required in painting the various farm
wagons, implements, inside woodwork,
furniture, etc, and, above all, the nee
essary materials for the improvements
planned for the house should be OBJ
tanned, so that they can be completed
this winter and not have to wait an
other year.
Everyone knows how much more sat-
isfactory it is to have the necessary
equipment ready to perform a piece of
work when an opportunity presents than
to get started on it and then find that
it will have to be postponed until a
trip can be made to town, which, even
if the roads are good and the trip can
be made at once, means loss of time
and added expense.
1t is astonishing how much can be
accomplished on rainy days or during
slack times, when the tools and ma
terials are at hand, and there should
be no difficulty in overhauling practic-
ally every implement on the farm dur
ing the winter season and have them
ready for next seasons work. The
value of these stitches in time" is fire.

small amount of time they require. Aside
from the satisfaction of having each

is needed. there is the actual saving

CHINESE ARMY LARGE ON PAPER

Picking, Jan. 22.-Reasons why the
Chinese army, although it numbers
half million men on paper, cannot be
employed to defend the republic
against an aggression, are set forth
openly in an official explanation by
President Yuan Shi-kai.
He says, in effect, that although the
military expense is the largest item in
the governmental bills, the evil prac-
tice Of declaring false numbers of
troops continues to the detriment Of
the republics defense power.
The interesting document in part Is
as follows:
in former Gays the most corrupt
practice existing in the army was that
the actual number to troops in each
Ying military camp was never in
accordance with the number paid for
by the government; and the officers
appropriated the surplus. People are
not at all surprised at such irregulari-
ties, as they had become common hab
its. The financial condition of the ma
ton became worse, while the discio-
line of the army was hopelessly ne
lected.
81, the President, once created and
trained modern army, and all former
corruptions were wholly swept away
But after the Revolution there was
trouble everywhere, and chiefs of DO
litical parties and arrogant command
ers became presumptious with their
military backing. In the morning they
enrolled vagabonds in the streets and
IN the evening they claimed to have
created an army. Although the mum
Der was less than a thousand it was
proclaimed to be more than ten thou
sand When the time came for dis.
bandment of troops large sums OF
money were demanded from the gov
eminent. |, the President, being un
willing to see the people suffer the
consequences Of further rebellion, re-
luctantly complied with their demands.
Thus order and peace were maintain
ed. But when we think of it we are
still grieved. Now, although the can
cerous disease has been healed, 1t Il
impossible to say that the evil prac-
t'ce of declaring false numbers of
troops has not continued. The largest
annual expense of the government is
the military expenditure. Ali generals

warming from the past and act care
fully in the future, performing their
services faithfully and maintaining
their own integrity. Thus VIII they

Baseball, the game, conceded to be
the biggest and fairest sport in the
world today, is not on trial in the Chi
cago court. The financing and rivalries
of the magnates comprise the issue.
The baseball players, as pawns in the
game, are taking lively interest, and
many of them are on hand to hear the
case.
In contesting the suit today, the de-
PENDANTS have put their interests all
in the hands of the attorneys for the
National Commission, and few, if any,
of the individual club owners will be
directly represented. The attorneys
on both sides are prominent in their
profession, and no loopholes will be
overlooked on either side.
