MACHINERY FOR DISCARD

Nearly 1000 types and sizes of farm
implements which have been gradual
ly developed by manufacturers during
peacetime competition have been rec
commended for elimination during the
war by committees of the National
Implement and Vehicle Association.
The object, according to a statement
by the Council of National Defense,
is to conserve materials. labor, capt.
war use
tai, and manufacturing facilities for
In the report of the committee meet
ings to the commercial economy board
of the Council of National Defense it
was stated that no machinery recon-
mended for discard was believed to be
necessary to modern economical agri-
culture The lines considered by the
committees consisted of steel and
chilled plows. grain drills. seeders,
and other tillage implements and farm
elevators.
Such of the recommendations as
the board deems suitable, with others
from different sources, are being
brought to the attention of all imple-
ment manufacturers and jobhers, and
as many retail dealers as may be
reached through questionnaires.

STANDARD LOCOMOTIVES

Delivery of the first of the 1,025 10.
comotives ordered by the Railroad Ad-
ministration will start in July, and
deliveries will continue monthly dur
ing the rest of the year, The locom-
olives are of six standard types, with
one heavy and one light style in each
each type. They vary in weight from
200 900 pounds to $4,000 pounds, and
the intire order will cost about $780,
100000.
The six standard types are expected
to eventually supersede the many
kinds now in service, which embrace
engines built according to 500 or more
specifications, According to the Rail
road Administration, this Is. the first
real step ever taken toward the wide
Standardization of locomotives.
An order has also been placed for
1907 900 freight cars of standard type
to cost between $3.50, 100000 and $780,,
600 900. Negotiations for the construc-
ton of many thousand additional steel
freight cars are still pending. The five
types of cars ordered represent the
standard forms of freight cars adopted
by the Railroad Administration.

TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN

TRAINING LITTLE CHILDREN
The play-instinct is Unborn in all
children the world over; 1t is natures
own method for developing the senses
the muscles and all bodily growth
Play is even more than this; 1t is the
outlet of expression of the childs in
ner life. Many faults as well as virtues
may be discovered while watching
children at play. Perhaps a mother
will find that her child is selfish or
rude, and it is easy to discover gen
erous disposition and good temper
in the course of a play-hour
Games are the expression of the
play-spirit and toys are the instru-
ments necessary for the expression of
this activity of Child-life. AS farm
er needs garden tools to do his work,
so child needs toys for his play--or
work which play really is to him. And
if toys are not provided ready-made.
he will invent them, in order to be able
to express his pIay-spirt.
All play depends upon the physical
condition of child. A normal
healthy child plays all the time, is
easily interested in his toys and as he
gorws older invents games with them
If child plays but little. cannot cas-
lily be interested in his toys. will not
play alone and is cross, look first to
his physical condition, then begin a
course of training, or directed play,
Start with a suggestion, "Why not
build a high steeple?" OF Make
mother a train of cars with your
blocks" Often especially in the case
of an only child, if mother can enter
into the play-spirit and play hide.and-
geek. or march and sing. or even build
with the blocks. it is such treat and
often real help in promoting q
readiness to play alone when mother
must go back to her work
Almost every child wants to help
mother sweep, dust, make beds. wipe
the silver or run errands Make play
out of the work and yet let the little
one feel he Is really doing something
With tiny babies too little even to
walk, mother can make play out of
work. Have the high chair or the
bassinette or carriage in the room
where you are working and keep baby
busy with toys. For instance. if you
are working in the kitchen. let the
baby have a big spoon clothes-pins.,
tin covers, or anything new and safe.
but always keep these things for the
kitchen II he is allowed to have
them all the time they soon lose their
interest and he becomes restless and
unhappy.
A sense of newness even with old
TOYS makes them desirable to a child.
Children need change and variety be-
cause their power of concentration is
not fully developed.

LEADING IN PATRIOTISM

1t is no little thing for the work OF
our patriotic club to be held up to the
other states of the nation as among
the live ones that are getting results
The Crisp county council of defense
has special mention in the literature
published by the National Council of
Defense this week because of the pat
riotic debates which have been con-
Quoted in the schools
These debates were planned with
view of stirring more interest
all over the county and they have had
the desired effect in their own sphere.

Crisp county is due to this, but much
can be said of it.

Are Desired Mostly

ing for volunteers to so to France

been asked to cooperate in giving

policy Of the war council of the Red
Cross is to enlist as many volunteers
as possible, that is, men and women
who are able to give their services
and pay their own expenses. The
Red Cross is not, however, to limit
the opportunity to serve under it's
banner to the people of independent
means and desirable volunteers
who are unable to meet their ex-
penses will be paid by the Red
Cross. But the desirability of en-.
rolling real volunteers is impressed as

permits from their draft boards. Nor
