SPECIAL ATTENTION TO OIL
In Getting Farm Machinery Ready for
Work Look Carefully to lubriea-
tion Of Wearing Parts.

In getting the machinery ready for
farm operations, Prof. Fl. G. Ram.
sower Of the agricultural engineering
department, Ohio State university,
urges that special attention be given
to the fabrication Of all wearing parts.
"A full oil can to every machine" is
the way he states 1t. Especially on
new machinery and the farm tractor
does the use of oil become important.
Make sure that all oil holes, well,
pumps, grease cups and bearings are
thoroughly cleaned Of dirt, grit, paint,
and foreign matter before the holes
are filled, SO that waste matter can.
not be carried into the bearings. Clean
wool or cotton placed in cups will
keep out sand and grit. It is a good
practice to use a mixture Of equal
parts machine oil and kerosene in the
bearings for the first few hours Of op.

CONCRETE KEEPS AWAY RATS
Rodents Not Only Steal Grain, but Ere
quentIy Acquire Taste for Chicks
and Eggs.

Rats are among tho worst pests
about the poultry house. They not
only steal large amount Of grain
but frequently develop a taste for
young chicks and eggs which seems
to be Unsuitable. A well-made con-
crete floor and foundation makes an
almost perfect protection against rats.
A concrete floor itself is not sufficient,
for the rats may burrow under it and
thus find perfectly protected breed
ing place.
A concrete foundation Tor poultry
houses need not. be heavy or expen-
sive, If properly made. A trench may
be dug below the frost line and forms
set up six inches apart. A mixture of
one part portland cement, three parts
sand and six parts gravel will prove
plenty strong enough for this pur.
pose.
After 1t is well set forms can be
removed, the floor leveled Up and GOV.

mixed in the same proportions. The
floor can be made smooth and level by
a straight edge board. Frequently a
finishing coat of three-quarters Of an
inch is put on Of a richer mixture and
troweled to smooth finish. Beginning
the day after the floor is laid it should
be sprinkled two or three times daily
for week SO as to prevent the con-
crete from drying out too rapidly and
cracking.

doorway in the east side of the

the station.

AND WHEN

Definite proof that the
gunner who attacked PO-
Iiceman Nix yesterday MORN
ing were acquainted with the
alleged yeggmen living in
shack at 4O41s 21st street,
where Vernon Lindsey, II
cripple, was murdered the
same night, was obtained by
the police today.
Mrs. Max Miller, proprietor of
the Silver hotel, 15131a Tacoma
ave-, where the gunner had
rooms and where Policeman Nix
was attacked by five armed men,
was taken to police headquarters
at noon. She identified James
Morgan, companion of Lindsey,
as one who had made several
visits to the gunmen's quarters.
Chief Smith announced that he
had found witnesses who declar-
ed that all five of the gunner
had visited Lindsey at the 21st
street home during the last few
days.

Motive Mystery.
Police detectives who have in

asserted today their belief that
Lindsey either held information
against the gunner gang which
they were afraid he would di-
vulge, or that he was cashier"
for the yeggmen living in the
21st street house and that he was
murdered for purposes of rob-
berry.
Other evidence proving the
connection between the two
gangs was found late yesterday,
in the form of pocket map left
in the Tacoma avenue rooms of
the missing gang, which bore the
penciled memorandum, "404 "
South 21st street." the address
at which the murder occurred.
Hear From Mother.
Mrs. j. B. Lindsey of Grants
Pass, Oregon, believed to be the
mother of the murdered cripple,
telegraphed Mayor Fawcett today
asking for a description of the
gunmen's victim.
In one of Lindsey's pockets
was the address, of Mrs. j. b. Lind
sey, Murphy, Ore.
Police Chief Smith. announced
today that he had given out
sweeping orders yesterday after
noon for cleaning out of all
novels and shacks where hoboes
and possible gunner or yeggs
were living.
"This class of crooks may cone
to Tacoma in the future--we can
hardly keep them all out-but
they won't have any chance to
remain here" said Chief Smith.
"A great many of the cripples
who beg on the streets are MEM

Descriptions of the five gun
men who attacked Officer Nix
haev been sent broadcast. The
police believe they escaped on a
night freight.
