REP AIR WORN
MACHINERY
Scarcity Of Implements Must Be Met
By Putting Old Ones Into
Shape for Work.

The great cutlery for farm produc-
ton and the scarcity Of machinery
points to the need Of some way to re-
pair great many implements that are
now useless largely because Of the
neglect with which they have been
treated, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which adds that
the machinery manufacturers and
their local sales agents should help to
perform this repair service.
Throughout the country there are
thousands of binders, mowers, and
other farm machines rusting in the
fence corners, and many Of these might
be made available for further valuable
service. The manufacturers Of farm
machinery are admittedly unable to
furnish all the new machines required
and are paying for full-page adver-
tisements to influence governmental
authorities to insure them necessary
raw materials and transportation in
competition with the demand for ma
chimes of war.
The railroads of the country, accord
ing to one Of their officials, are being
compelled in the present emergency to
rescue practically every scrap locomo-
tive from the old-iron graveyards and
rebuild them for active service. A
similar plan should be adopted, says
the department for the reclamation OF
this CASTOR farm equipment through
the agency of central repair shops
where the work could be done. Many
of the machines might be made avail
able for further service with repairs
of comparatively small cost.
Added to the almost sinful careless
ness of some farmers there has been
the attitude on the part Of farm ma.
chinery manufacturers in years past
to favor the abandonment of worn and
disabled machines in order to sell new
ones; but now the time has arrived
when it is difficult to supply the mar
ket with the necessary new machinery
The department suggests that repre-
sentatives of the manufac turers, on the
one hand, and Of the farmers such as
farm bureau agents or county agents
on the other hand, should get together
to establish the necessary farm ma
chinery repair stations in convenien
localities.

GAME LACKS THE pep
Until THE TWELFTH
Nationals Put Up Great Exhibition Drill
at Patriotic Celebration at Park.
By Miss ELIZABETu m r11tIEN

To the tune OF "The Stars and Stripes
Forever, played by brass band, Clark
SI1mth's tribe OF baseball players march
ed over the field at the American League
PARK yesterday afternoon to the big,
white nag pole, halting there at stten-
ton while Franklin d. Roosevelt, Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, together with
Nick Altrock. of the washington team,
raised the American nag. A little later
vice PRESIDENT Marshall tossed a brand
new baseball to Umpire Owens and the
1917 baseball season was on.
II was wartime baseball, too. Over
the stands noated besides the Stars and
stripes, the French tri-color, and the
BRUSH Union Jack constant reminders
that our allies are playing sterner games
than baseball. Military and naval uni
forms were in evidence on all sides. A
detachment of soldiers from Fort Myer
occupied seats In front OF the pavilions,
and to the delight OF the onlookers, drill
ed In front Of the stands Just before the
players marched on. A flag draped auto
mobile, occupied by sailors from the May
mower in search of recruits, rolled
through one of the gates and around the
neld, parking beside the bleachers dur
ing the game.
The fans evidently enjoyed watching
the Nationals drill under the direction of
tnelr trim instructor. Corporal Dean. The
players were appIauded generously, and
their efforts to stop the band caused
much laughter.
AFTER the game started many of the
spectators were appa rently on the verge
OF going to sleep to Judge by their wide
yaWns, and seeming distraction One
feminine spectator constantly expressed
a desire to know what process was
used In cleaning the players uniforms,
and why they wiped their hands ali
over them anyway. This lady also said
that she didn't see why the pitchers
mad to bat: she thought they had enough
to do as II was. No one attempted TO
enlighten her.
Things happened in the last few inn
ings. The Nationals caught up with the
Athletics, and the fans became wildly
enthusiastic. Those whose voices were
not naturally strong had brought along
NIL sorts of noise-making devices to swell
the volume of the roofing. But Wash
ington lost after all. Doc Ayers was
put in In Gallia's place. and he couldn't
stop the Athletics. The score was s.
