and buy more and better machinery
with their savings. Too many of our
farmers are now seriously handicap
ped because they are not properly
equipped and cannot produce crops
economically and with as great a
profit as the men who have imple-
ments and take care of what they
have.
From a business standpoint, farm
machinery must be considered a nee
essary investment. Economy means
management without loss of waste
and only when the most strict
economy is practiced will the highest
possible dividends be obtained from
the machines used on the farm.
Lengthening the life and efficiency
of the machine is the most practical
method for increasing this dividend
per dollar investment Improper
care of farm machinery cuts down
the farmers yearly savings by re-
ducing the efficiency of his machines
and increasing the piles of discarded
implements throughout the country.
Weakened parts of the implements,
due to rusting and rotting, break
when a strain is placed in them and

The average annual loss caused by
neglect of farm implements in Ark

cording to v. H. Kern, specialist in
farm machinery of the Extension Di-
vision of the University of Arkansas.
in an article written for the Arkan-
sas Profitable Farming Bureau of the
Little Rock Board of Commerce.
To make the situation worse, Mr..
Kearn says that this wastage is in
despite the tremendous advance in
price.
''Our people do not realize that
there is a serious shortage of ma
terial and that they may not be able
to buy implements in the future,
even if they have the price to pay
for Them" writes Mr.. Kern.
Through neglect they are permit

PENALTIES FOR WAR RumoRs.

| With the increasing interest being
centered around war news, there If
also an increasing tendency toward
the circulation OF idle rumors In ref
erence to individuals who may be re-
garded as having sympathy for enc
mics of the United States, says the
Augusta Chronicle. The circulation
of any such reports that are not we'll
founded will be punishable under the
federal law to the same extent as the
actual statements. In other words
II citizen of the United States or
other person enormously and falsely
circulates stories In reference to
either an American or other person
they are subject to the same penalty
as one who might make a dlsloyal
statement.
In this section, as in all others,
there are numbers of German-Ameri-
cans. for instance. who arc Just as
patriotic as any thoroughbred Amer
lean. so to speak. and their utter
ances and actions arc unanimously in
support of the United States govern
ment; in fact, this state and this
nation, and yet some reports make
some OF them out as instigators Of
movements calculated to disturb the
peace and dignity of the United
States.
The good people of every commu.
nifty should cooperate TO see that no
injustice is done any individual in
this section. but that all have full
justice and fair play accorded them.
OF course, nobody wishes to see the
interest of any community, county or
state, or the federal government jeop-
ardized by any individual, or any set
of men; and still. the highest evi-
dence of patriotism is to see that all
those who wish to ally themselves

The public should see to IL that in

And on the other hand. they should
see TO 1t that those who are loyal
to the flag and TO the country, no

"ns tNr SfNAFsCE WORDS.
In speech at Bridgeport. Conn.
few weeks ago, former President Taf
is reported as saying that all tain
about the raising OF volunteer arm,
was mere wasted eloquence; that thu
experience OF the nations in the wal
had shown that the voluntary system
Of raising an army was a fatal error
taking on the patriots and the flowei
OF youth and leaving behind the
~slackers.' that the experience of the
United States in the war OF 1912 and
the civil war had shown that a vol
7nteer army was little better than an
unorganized mob and could not be
depended on TO win battles.
There is no man in the United
States for whom we have more re.
spect than for Mr.. Taft, but we have
no respect whatever for these state
ments that he is reported to have
made. He certainly ought to know
the facts and yet the facts are at va
rance with what he said.
The experience of most OF the ma.
tIons that are engaged in the war in
Europe throws no light on this ques-
tion because Great Britain is the only
one that tried both methods. Uni
versal service prevails in the other
and these went into the war
with ready made armies. Mr.. Taft
need not tell anybody that a nation
with ready made army is In better
TX for war than one which is com.
,clled to make an army after war

he world knows that The knowl |

Great Britain raised an army of
