!, plan to have two men working together
to round up the lunches, since more
can be- accomplished than when each
works alone.
1t is a waste Of time to pitch hay
onto a small hayrack on a higl-wheeled
wagon. Use a large hayraek on a
low-wheeled wagon.
Loading hay with %pichforks is the
hardest, slowest, and most expensive
way. The men are WORKING constantly.
but the horses are doing nothing most
OF the time. If a loader is used, the
hardest part of the work is done by
the horses and the men can handle
about 30 per cent more hay.
Save LABOR on the Stack.
The push rake furnishes the most
economical method of hauling hay to
the stack, barn, or hay press if the
distance is not much more than n
fourth Of a mile. One man, or a boy,
with a good push rake and a team
used to the work will handle three
times as much hay as two men with a
small rack on a high-wheeled wagon.
Stacking hay with a push rake and
an overshot stacker mounted on wheels
eliminates nearly all Of the back
breaking work of the old pitchfork,
method. With a yield of one to one
and a half tons to the acre, two men y
on the stack a easily handle all the
hay brought in by three push rakes,
accomplishing a vast saving in labor
and hay over the pitchfork method.
Another method not SO good but still
vastly better than the pitchfork method
lis a stacker equipment with a double
harpoon fork. The outfit can be made
at home$and will cost very little com
pared with the labor it saves, but
harder work is necessary to get the
hay on the stack than with the OVER
shot stacker.
When hay is to be baled from the
field, n man BY working in the after
noon, can round up enough hay which
has been punched by push rakes to
keep the press going next morning
until the dew is gone from the hay In
the windrow. When the hay is NOT
thus rounded up the crew will lose
two hours or more on mornings when
there is a heavy dew.
Carelessness in setting the press MAJ
result in loss of labor. When the press
is properly set two men can get
plenty Of hay to it from the stack.

Einstein Is Right, Newton All Wrong,
 Experiments SholD
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, April 22,-Results of experiments presented before today S session of the American Philosophical society were asserted by scientists present today to prove the Einstein theory and upset Newton's law of grayitation if true.
 Dr.. Charles F. Brush of Cleveland presented experiments. results of which tend to show that grayitation acted differently with different sub stances.
 If these experiments be true, and pr. Brush is very careful in his ex- periments, it upsets all we have knowf about gravitation for 200 years" said pr. A. G. Webster of Clark university. Worcester, Mass.
 'Dr. Einstein's theory has been based on the conclusions of Baron Eotvos' experiments with gravitatio. i. that it acts proportionately with all. substances to certain degree" said Dr. Brush. But these experiments give radically different results from Baron Eotvos' conclusion,' he said
 'It is more radical than Russian sovie tism.'' he said. From Newton to Einstein 1t has always been supposed that mass as measured by gravitation is 'the same as mass measured by it's inertia. According to Dr. Brush this is not so. Baron Eotvos showed in his experiments difference of one twen- ty-millionth in one part"

By Associated Press

Atlanta. April 22.--Nat McWhorter, wealthy negro, took the stand before the city council committee Investigating the here tonight and facing City Detective w. L. Payne, declared that for two years he had paid that officer s200 a week for protecting him from police raids.

 The narrative practically brought to I close the evidence against the depart nlents which the committee is investigat- ing. Eugene R. Black. counsel for the citizens committee, rested his case at the close of the session tonight with the reservation that he could introduce more witnesses if there were new develop ments.
 The testimony of McWhorter was the most dramatic incident of the two weeks of hearings that have abounded in charges against the departments. It came as surprise to MT. Black and to Solicitor General Boykin. both of whom said they had not participated in the ex- animation of the negro.
 McWhorter had communicated with Counselman Walter A. Sims, chairman of the committee. today to the effect that he had something important he wished to tell the investigators. On the stand last night he had denied that he paid $200 weekly for police protection.

The trip across was without Incident, but on the return the party met a rough sea and the little 35-foot boat was incapable of battling it's way through the rolling waves. When about 5 miles out, Jay attempted to turn his boat back to Bimini, but was carried to the south. Finally he managed to steer it back into the key, where the party went ashore. There they found one white man and a handful of na- lives, who live by what they catch or gather.
 For almost a fortnight the party waited, daily watching the sea for some boat to carry them back to Florida.
