Lavender Has Faculty of
 Doing Spectacular Feats
HurIer Obtained by Philadelphia Pitched Many Sensational Games
 While With the Cubs.

The Phlles secured good pitcher in Jimmy Lavender, the former Cub twirler. Jimmy won considerable fame as a boxman with the Chicago team. He was member of the Cubs pitch ing staff for five seasons. He is a native of the state of Georgia and Is one of the five hurlers who make the state famous for sending out moundsmen of class. Nap Fucker, Henry Douglas. Fred Toney and J.. Erskine Mayer are the others.
 Lavender was long time coming to his own, as his five seasons schooling In the minors would indicate. His first trial was with the Augusta club of the South Atlantic league in 1906 However. his first real job was with the Danville club of the Virginia league, in 1907. From this bush he was extracted by Connie Mack. Mana ger Mack took Lavender on for a trial in the spring of 1908, but released him optionally to the Holyoke club of the Connecticut Valley league.
 At the close of 1908 Lavender was recalled by the Athletic management and released to the Providence club of the big International league, where

 "To cultivate good memory at first requires effort. In time it becomes easy and natural to remember things. Conan Doyle has propounded the right idea. You must concentrate. You must not carry any useless mental bag gage. Anyone wishing to acquire com prehensive knowledge of his business, or of any specific subject, must not try to store his mind with needless details about other things. For example, l have tried to learn all I could about the steel business; but to enable me to carry business information in my head I have not attempted to retain in my mind minute detailed data about politics or baseball. ll.'-American Mag aZine

 Efficiency of the machine is to be considered first of all What is the quality of the work that 1t will do? How much can be accomplished? The machine should be selected with this in view, that the greatest possible amount of efficient work may be squeezed from the implement
 Construction of the machine should be noted. Will the implement stand up under the strain for at least eight years, which should be the average life with reasonable care and housing? The implement manufacturer puts out new machine and finds some parts are of weak construction. When this is called to his attention he reinforces farmer. If 1t is not. he allows the farmer to suffer the loss, and in the long run both are the losers.
 The farmer is Justified in not grab ping the untried and newest machine put on the market If it is an expert ment he can afford to wait short while until it is tried out. If 1t proves a success as time and labor saver he should not be the last to lay aside old methods and adopt new.
 Of two equally desirable imple- ments, select the one for which re- pairs can most readily be obtained. Time worth hundreds of dolalrs can easily be lost because of inaccessible ity to repairs. Purchase implements made by reliable manufacturers.
 Keeping a machine In proper repair will materially lessen It's final expense and give the owner greater satisfac- tion. Ealing wire may serve as re- pair part to finish the days work In some instances, but do not try to make it take the place of the part broken. You may run the cost of upkeep of the machine into dollars instead of cents. Keeping in proper repair in- cludes tightening loose nuts. oiling to lessen wear and produce less draft.

 Even with our inadequate supply of farm implements there are some $25.- 100000 invested in this state. Annu- ally the farmers lose s2,000,000, as nearly as it can be estimated with the present data. Were the farmer com pelled to pay 15 to 20 per cent interest on borrowed money he would feel un- justly treated, but farm implements, from the cheapest blow to the thresh- CT, are in most instances left in the weather the year around. Instead of lasting eight years or more, very often two or three years is the life of those implements. If shed room can not be provided, the implements should be painted and oiled at the end. of the season. Even though a shed Is ac- cessible, all wearing surfaces should receive a coating of grease to prevent rust. Stop the losses in farm ma chinery and increase the farm profits,

MUST TAKE CARE IF
 FARM IMPLEMENTS
There Can Be Too Much Farm Ma chinery Just as Well as Too Little
 -Either Must Be Avoided.
By V. H. Kern, Specialist in Farm I'm plements, Extension Division,
 University of Arkansas.

Because of the labor problem, which is making itself felt in our state, and because of the necessity of increased food and feed production, the buying, caring for and using farm machinery are subjects to which the average farmer should pay more real atten- tion. He should realize that the pur- chase of farm machinery is as much of a business proposition as the pur- chasing of pure bred bull or pure bred Duroc-Jersey hog. The farmer does not buy the pig merely for the sake of having the pig, but he makes an investment from which he intends to realize the greatest profit. The better the farmer cares for the pig, the more net gain he realizes from his 1n- vestment Farm machinery is also an indispensable means of profit, and the more care taken in selecting, using and caring for farm implements, the more will be the net earnings, and the most economic agriculture is not pos sible until the right kind of efficient labor and time-saving implements as the farm warrants is used.
 Too Little Machinery to the Farm.
 There can be too much farm ma chinery just as we'll as too little. Either is to be avoided, and the sys- tenn of crop rotation and the labor problem will largely determine the amount of machinery necessary. As a general rule we find too little machin- cry to the farm in Arkansas. If farm ing conditions are such that two-horse implements cannot be used, those con- ditions should be changed.
 Implements an Index to Advancement
 of Community
 The kind of farm implements Is an index to the advancement of com munity. From the pony blow, solid sweep, middle buster community with inadequate schools and churches we pass to more highly developed coun- try with adequate schools, efficient teachers and churches Of which the community Is proud. The proper types, use and care of farm imple- ments helped to accomplish this.
 Points to Observe in Purchasing
