riculture show that a surprising
amount of wheat is wasted in the
thrashing operation. In North Dako-
ia, for instance, the average waste a
day OH about 26 per cent of the rigs
noperation was 14.63 bushels for
each rig. After testing the machine
and making adjustments this loss was
cut down to 4.O3 bushels day, or a
saving of 1860 bushels, with a total
saving Of 100000 bushels in the en-
tire State of the season.
More Than 21,9OO,OCO Bushels Saved.
In South Dakota the testing and
REIMBURSEMENT of the machines effected
a saving of 1913 bushels a day on 18
per cent of the machines tested, or
800 0,000bushels for the State. In
Montana, through proper adjustment
Of the machines and avoidance of
waste, the saving on Is per cent of the
rigs was 706,925 bushels for the seas
on; and in Minnesota, on 32 per cent
of the rigs 100000 bushels. The
estimated total saving for 21 States
in which the work was carried on was
Fl ,903,600 bushels.

This movement should interest both
thrashermen and farmers. The thrash
erman by means of the tests is better
able to check up the work being done
by his machine and can turn out more
grain day, which means more money
both to himself and to the farmer.
After the faults of the machine are
once located and corrected it is an
easy matter to check up occasionally
and keep the machine running with
least waste.
The farmer can save great deal Of
grain by the following methods: Rak-
ing the shock lows; using tight bot
tom bundle wagons for shock thrash
ing; by a careful land thorough clean
up around the machine and the use
OF large canvas spread on the ground
under the feeder to Itch the grain
which skaters out in the process of
feeding and that which leaks out
around the front end of the machine
AS to raking the scatterings alone

dollars in delinquent taxes and pen

Information from the Sales Tax
Unit of the Bureau of Internal Re-
venue is that many dealers in soft
drinks and ice cream either are keen
ing no record of the amount of tax
collections from such sales, or that the
record is insufficient or Incorrect
Special attention will be directed to
the collection Of this tax as well as to
the tax on toilet articles and promic-
tary medicines. Through the failure
OF retailers to collect in full the tax
of l cent for each 25 cents or frac-
ton thereof Of the amount for which
toilet articles and proprietary mcdi-
clnes are sold, it is estimated the gov
ernmcnt is losing several millions dol
lars annually. The tax is collected bv
means OF stH"lps ranging from 1 to
az cents, which the law provides shall
be affixed by the dealer and cancelled.

els III one case and in another 70
acres gave SIS bushels. Oklahoma re-
ported saving Of 5,063 bushels for
the raking of scatterings on Id
1arms. Kansas reported saving of
| 1-2 bushels an acre, and Illinois one
| half bushcl an acre.
Tigh t-BottOm Wagons Prevent Waste
The use of tight-bottom bundle
wagons in North Dakota saved be-
tween 600 and 800 bushels in thrash
ing 1000 acres. In Wisconsin it is
estimated that 100000 bushels were
saved by tight-bottom wagons. The
idea of using the canvas on the ground
under the feeder not only saves grain
but saves time on the cleanup, and
should certainly be considered by both
thrashermen and farmers.
A very definite notion of the
amount of grain wasted about the rig
may be had from making a so-called
blanket test. This consists of spread
ing sheet of canvas or other suit
able cloth about IS ~ "a feet in area
convenient to the stacker of the
thrashing machine. A man is station
ed Oh the top of the machine near the
weighing device. Immediately after
trip of the wcigher, drop the hood,
so that all the straw, etc, passes on
to the sheet. Allow the straw to de-
posit there until the weighing device
trips five complete times, indicating
that the machine has thrashcd 2 1-2
Bushels. Us fork to winnow off the
straw from the canvass, shaking as
much as possible for any wheat that
may be in it. This leaves mass of
small PARTICLES Of straw and chaff and
wheat on the sheet. Use the screen to
slft off the small particles Of straw
and put through a tanning mill to
blow out the chatf, leaving the quaint
ity of wheat that has been wasted.
Measure this in pint measure. One
pint CLEANED in this operation might
be considered unavoidable waste; 9
pints, poor operation, to be corrected
at the earliest opportunity; and 81
pints or more, wastcful practice and
the machine closed down until improve
ment is obtained.
Watch Machine Closely.
In the Middle West, where more
moisture prevails, the adjustment of
the machine should be watched closely
throughout the day. In the morning
the grain is apt to be moist and not
easily shelled. If the machine is ad-
Justed to overcome this condition. it |
should be rcadjusted in the afternoon
to provide for the dryer condition of
the grain. If not so adjusted to meet
the changing condition, grain will be !
wasted.

Probably the most important indi-
rect means for increasing produc-
tlon is the avoidance Of waste. This
should be borne in mind with regard to
wheat at thrashing time. This opera
ton should be conducted with the
greatest care, and measures should be
taken to see that as little grain as
possible is lost or allowed to escape
through faulty operation of the ma

necessity of a more careful handling
OF the grain in the fields and in thrash

WASHINGTON HAS QUIET ENDING

Presidents Illness Bars Usual Celebrations at White
 House

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Washing- ton welcomed the New Year tonight without any public or semi-public functions. but with the usual church and home watch parties and street 
 Dinner dances at hotels apparently were more popular than ever. Ma tional prohibition had no effect for this was the third New Year celebra- tion since the ban was placed on liquor in the District of Columbia. Some members of hotel parties brought their own" and diplomatic row continued its immunity from pro- hibition restrictions.
 Because of President Wilson's con- dition, there was no formal watch party at the White House and New Years day will be observed quietly there. Official functions tomorrow will include a luncheon for the dipl- matic corps by the Secretary of State and Mrs. Lansing, reception by the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Dan ies, and joint reception by the Sec retary of War and Mrs. Baker and the Assistant Secretary of War and Mrs CroweH.

SAYS LODGE HAS ANER|CAN|ZED
 LEAGUE.
Scientist Declares United d States Will Do Her Duty
 in Any Case

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 31.-An examina- tion of the covenant of the league of nations shows that, as qualified by the league reservations, it has simply been Americanized. Dr. James L. Tryon, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology told the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science here today.
 Under these circumstances, it is a question:" said Dr. Tryon, whether, from the point of view of those who prefer the covenant to the historic American plan offered by the Amer or to any other plan, there has not been first class mistake made in opposing the Lodge resolutions and one that 1t may take years to correct.
 "We cannot remain in isolation. We could not separate ourselves from the rest of the world if we would. We shall do our duty in any case. And let no country think that because we hesitate over the covenant we shall refrain from intervention In the interest of our country and the wei fare of the world if the same or simi- lar set of circumstances, the unjusti- fled invasion of Belgium and France, should again occur. Put we want the right to attend to our own affairs and are willing to concede the same priv ileges to other nations"

President Sends Tumulty to Give White House View

 LEAGUE A FACTOR Senators See Way to Get Past Deadlock on Shantung
 Proposal

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Getting down to cases in their discussion of a peace treaty compromise, Republican and Democratic senators found today that Article 10 continued a stumbling block in the way of an agreement.
 Senate leaders of both parties again were active in the negotiations. It was said that although no agree ment was in sight, the shifting pro cess had cleared many collateral points and had centered attention on a few reservations, notably the one relating to Article 10.
 In was the reservation on this point as framed by the foreign relations committee, which President Wilson characterized as meaning a rejection of the treaty. Determined to get some modification, Democratic sen ators have presented several sugges- tions, but all so far have been re- garded on the Republican side as go- ing too far. The Republicans, in turn, have suggested changes which the Democrats regard as notifications of language only.
 Senator, Lodge went over compro- mise suggestion with Senator Pome- rene of Ohio, Democratic member of the foreign relations committee. Later Secretary Tumulty went to the capitol, and speaking for the presi- dent, discussed the situation with Sen ator Hitchcock, acting leader of the Democrats. Tonight MT. Hitchcock called into consultation all Demo cratic members of the committee in town.
 Details of none of these meetings were revealed, but it was understood that specific reservation changes were discussed and that in each case Article 10 figures prominently.

Prices at these places for 1919's farewell meal ranged from $7.50 plate to $25 and upwards.
 But between the champagne drink CTS in the hotels and thei suhdued celebrators on the sidewalks there was a third class who also included John, Barleycorh in their greeting to 1920.

 Restored

WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-Secre- tary Alexander of the department Of commerce today summed up the com mercial outlook for 1920 as follows:
 "The closing year witnessed a fabulous growth of American foreign commerce. A great fleet of merchant ships. new industries. new sources Of supply and increased knowledge of our own resources are some of the assets gained from our war expert ence. Before the war we were en- gagged for the most part in the devel- opment of our business. with little serious thought of extension of our activities into world markets and we were too indifferent as regards our position of inferiority on the high seas. Today we are awake as never before. The pride of ante-bellum days is revived and we look to see our flag at the masthead of an Amer ican merchant ship in every import ant seaport of the world. carrying American goods wherever markets may be found.

These tre- mendous figures have brought satis- faction to all but gave grave concern to those who look forward to 1920.
