publican. insisted that the doors be
closed saying there was a general feel
ing among certain bankers that III they

TO have executive sessions.
Mr.. WILLIAMS himself was present He
told the committee he did not oppose
open sessions.

Attache in Russia
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Ftb. l1.--Investigation OF
lawless propaganda, l. W. W. activities
and other sources of disorder in the
United States began before the Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee today with a
description of the situation in Russia
before American representatives left
Moscow last autumn. The opening tes-
timony was given by DR.. William c..
Huntington. one-time commercial attache
OF the American Embassy in Petrograd.
Doctor Huntington. an engineer. who
travelled extensively in Russia and Sibe-
ria between June. 1916. and last Septem-
ber, when he left Moscow with train
load OF American refugees, described dis
organized social conditions throughout
the several revolutions and outlined the
development of Bolshevist organization.
He said anarchy. growing out of the
Bolshevist regime, made 1t impossible
for foreigners to remain.
Discussing Bolshevistic propaganda,
Doctor Huntington said this originally
consisted mainly of sending pamphlets
and speakers among Russian troops. tell
ing them they were fighting for inpe-
rtalism and capitalism.
They believed in internationalism, he
Explained. and were opposed to the
United States because its government
was not socialstic ana because they
were against the war.
The asitators, said the witness, took
,German money to further their own
.propaganda and thus broke down the
morales OF the Russian soldiers They
were ".ittle better crooks than the Ger
mans who used them as TOOLS" said
Doctor Huntington.
Virtually they worked in favor of the
f3erman cause. although theoretically
they were as much opposed to the Ger
man system as TO any other. except

The farm bureau in Columbia cOun-

also that the town of Columbia owned

If possible, a man to buy IA threshing

The high cost Of farm machinery I'M
doubtedly has resulted in the carrying

should be given to the repair Of all this
equipment.
Inspect Iron Boxes.
Special attention should be given to
the iron boxes in the hubs in the iron
wheels of plows. planters, c%ultivatOrs,
hay rakes and similar tools. These
boxes are replaceable and can easily
be removed by unScrewing the large
nut on the outside Of the wheel that
holds these boxes in place. When this
nut Is removed a few taps of the ham
mer will usually drive the box out Of
the hub and Il new can easily be
inserted. These boxes are numbered
so that it is not IA difficult matter to
obtain duplicates from the local imple-
ment dealer. However, it may be nee
essarv to order these from supply
houses in distant cities, and it is ad-
vlsable to attend to this matter at
once, SO that the new boxes can be put
in the wheel before the tools are need
ed for next springs work.
Repairing AxIes.
II the axles are badly worn on the
under side. sometimes they can be re-
yersed and turned upside down, or
they al be replaced with new axles.
Where this is impossible, they al
oftentimes be repaired by using Bah

should be given Il good coat Of paint.
If the old paint is 0 n or badly worn,
