Look After the Machines Now,

1t will soon be time for several Of
the machines on the farm to be put
TIP for the year. The binder has just
about completed its work for 1919
and the moMer- will Soon be through gI
with its job. These two pieces OF
machinery represent a more or less
complicated design and are expens-
i've. They should receive good care
in order that they may be in good
working order for another year, says
F. A. Nickel of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture.
All dirty bearings should be we'll
cleaned and polished and then given
a heavy coat of oil or grease SO that
they will not rust. The sickles
should be removed and stored in a
dry place after having been given a
good overhauling and a coat of oil.
The machines should be we'll inspect
ed and any repairs should be ordered
now. 1t is much easier for a man to
recall needed repairs after a few days
than it is to recall them after several
months. If repairs are made now,
the machine will surely be in work
ing order next year.
Above all, such high-priced arti-
Giles as binder or mower must be
housed. The average life of the
binder is only about five or six
years, because it is left out of doors
throughout the year. When one
considers that the binder is in actual
use only about ten days of the year,
the loss may be better appreciated.
With proper housing binder will
last from fifteen to twenty years,
and machinery shed proves prac-
teal and economical investment.

M aurice M avs
Makes Statement

Chattanooga, Tenn. Oct 2.-Mau-
rice +. Mays, the Negro who was
plucked from the hands of an angry
mob in Knoxville when he was ar
rested and accused Of the murder OF
Mrs. Gertie Lindsey, a well-known
Knoxville woman made statement
in which he gave a detail account
of his every action from early Sat
urday evening until the hour Of his
arrest. He states that he has been
prosecuted when there was no real
evidence against him, and declares
that the methods OF the Knoxville
police employed at his arrest were
irregular.
Mays states that II the Knoxville
police had investigated the crime
properly race riot resulting in
seven deaths would have been avoid
ed. AS it is, he declares his conf
dence that will be cleared when he
is taken back to Knoxville for fur
Their investigation and trial.
Mays is a fair writer. as will be
seen officers in the case are some
what prejudiced against me on ac-
count of unfounded reports. One of
the officers, Andy White. has cursed
me on former occasion.
II served as a deputy sheriff in
my home county and have recon-
mendation from Sheriff Galloway,
commencing me on my honorable
record as an officer. The case is
one Of oppression and injustice. Had
the officers been honest in their ac-
lions, they would have arrested sew
eral suspects filling the description
and kept the arrests secret. Then
they would have allowed the lady
to come in composed condition and
pick out the guilty party. AS it is,
it looks like bad management, based
on oppression and prejudice. / think
the court will believe me, as / am
telling the truth, if die this very
moment.
IF the case had been handled with
justice, race riot would have been
averted and several lives would have
been saved"
