WITNESS AN EXHIBITION
OF NEW FARMING DEVICE.
Agricultural Officials, With Senator
Ransdell, View Experiments With
"once Over Tiller."

More than a dozen Department Of
Agriculture experts. headed by B. T.
Galloway. plant pathologist of the de-
partment. and Senator RansdeI of
Louisiana of the Senate committee on
agriculture, yesterday witnessed demon
stration Of the new "once-over' tiller, a
device mahufactured by the Scientific
Farming Machinery Company, which
is designed to eliminate much labor in
plowing. The demonstration took place
on the government experimental farms
in Virginia.
This invention has been offered by
the manufacturing company to the
government at practically no profit,
according to Thomas w. Hicks, vice
president and general manager of the
company. He says it is entirely a
patriotic move and not money-mak-
ing scheme in regard to the sale to
federal authorities. 1t has been offered
to the government during the period
of war.
Both plowing and narrowing is done
at one time by this machine, thereby
saving much time and labor. Another
important item connected with 1t, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hicks, is that it makes
the farmer Independent Of the weather
and is much cheaper to operate than the
present method used in farming.
The demonstration yesterday was
done on extraordinarily hard ground,
and the manner in which the new ma
chine did it's work caused the agricul-
tural experts, apparently, to regard it
favorably. As an example of the su-
periority of the new invention over the
ordinary disc plow a demonstration was
given by both machines, after which It
was noted that the ground plowed by
the new machine was more satiSfactor-
lily broken up.

MEN IN UNIFORM UNABLE
TO GET DRINKS IN BARS
Liquor Dealers in Capital Unwilling
to Take Any Chance of
Violating Law.

Apparently ignorant of the fact that
Congress recently passed a law pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicants t per-
sons wearing the uniform of the mill
tary forces, number of persons rep
resenting the several branches of the
service have been turned down" in
the saloons and cafes during the Iast
few days. Particularly has this been
the case in bars connected with hotels,
where, it is stated, as late as yesterday
of a private were told there was moth
ing doing" when they ordered drinks.
While there has been no meeting of
hotel or saloon owners to discuss the
question and decide upon what they
believed the law required oe them, such
as was done in New York. it was said
last night that under no circumstances
will drinks be served any men in uni
form. Proprietors and managers of
hotels take it that they cannot furnish
1ntoxicants to uniformed soldiers, even
II the drinks are paid for by civilians.
The only way they can get a drink"
said a hotel man to Star reporter.
sis to appear in civilian attire and
give their orders, and even then /
would rather they would not appear in
that role
1t is thought by some dealers that
the law is not especially clear on GER
tain points. None of them, however
has the slightest desire to test the
questions in court. The penalty is a
fine of $1,000. a year in Jail. or both,
liquor business desires to risk having
to comply with any part of such
sentence.
Maj. Pullman yesterday furnished
each member of the police a copy OF
the law, and repeated the order issued
earlier in the week directing the po-
lice to inform each dealer in intoxi-
cants of its provisions.

Appeals to Farmers.

has sent out an appeal to the farmers
and rural workers of northern Virginia.
In which he calls upon them to do their
bit" for the country. In this appeal Mr..
Morton says: 1.-THE service that is now ours
to render on the farm is no whit less
patriotic than service rendered in the
army or in the navy. There never was a
time in the history of the world when the
farmer-the black farmer as well as the
white one-faced such tremendous re-
sponsibility. 1t is he who must decide
the issue of this terrible war.
Our very plain duty now is to plant,
plant, plant and save, save. save. Each
additional acre that you plant and each
source of waste that you close will help
to keep the nation and the world from
starvation"

as the four or five different ones man
by Getmans under United
States patents owned by nonresident

licenses for the manufacture of the
drug are issued, has the right to fix
prices on the commodity, though it has
not yet been done.
Before the war this entire product
was made in German owned factories
in this country. The product sold for
four dollars per dose or something like
$500 per pound. The American

Rifle Range Industry Brisk.

The rifle range industry has taken
on a wonderful impetus all over the
city Of New York. Not only the men
in uniform, but citizens Of all ages
and even women are printing their
weather eye for emergency service
against the kaiser. The little street
ranges, with their equipment of sta
tionary clay pipes, moving clay ducks
and silver balls balanced on water
spouts, have mushroomed their way
into all the thoroughfares in which
people promenade in the evenings, and
every ~unoccupied store and booth has
been converted into a spot for the test
ing of ones prowess with the rifle.
Civilians are in a majority among
those who nightly try their skill at
these ranges, but very frequently a
group of men in uniform will saunter
up to have q little competition among
themselves. The civilian marksmen on
these occasions usually retire for the
time being.
