HAVE SHED FOR FARM TOOLS
implements Should Be Cleaned and
Stored After Usino--Paint Brush
Is important.

Every farmer should have shed
for his tools and the tools should be-
cleaned and placed in the shed rs soon
as one is through using them. OFTEN
this saves time and delay when the
tool Is wanted later on.
The paint brush should be used
freely on the woodwork and other
parts that become worn. This costs
hut little and adds years to the life of
the tools. The tool house need not
be II costly building. A good roof with
cheap siding will do and any man
should be- able to put 1t up at odd
times.

Missouri Does Its Duty.

1t is long while since the patron
izing East stopped talking about the
failure of the West to understand the
meaning of the war. They are now
entirely too busy waking up their
own people to send any Paul Re-
veres out this way The necessity
is rather for the percolation of lit
tie Western extract of ginger east
ward.
1t is source of qualification to
Missouri people that this State is
keeping we'll up with its ,neighbors
in maintaining the reputation of the
Middle West as a region where the
people are at least approximating
their duty in the war.
TO the large enlistments in the
Marine Corps and the Navy Missouri
can now add the fact that the State
has exceeded the number of men
asked from it for the Regular Army.
This is the States answer to the
doubters who thought that because
there is large German population
here and because certain of Missou-
ris representatives in Congress were
lukewarm at the beginning Of Amer
lean participation in the war the State
would not come up to the full meas
ure of its duty.-St. Louis Republic.
