Chinese Need Farming Tools.

There is a growing interest In Inn
proved farm implements in China,
which is creating possibilities for the
sale of certain hand tools and small
machines especially adapted to the
needs OF the Chinese. Except In the
Undeveloped portions Of the north
west, China cannot use farm ma
chinery to the same extent that We
use 1t In the United States. because
the amount Of land owned by one man
is too small and In too small fields.
says United States consular bureau
report. The Chinese who have studied
agriculture. either at home or abroad,
as well as landowners and farmers
with education enough to know that
improved implements exist. are po-
tential purchasers Of instruments.
chiefly Of the following kinds: Light
plows, harrows, cultivators, small cot
ton gins, wheel hoes and irrigation
pumps operated by animal power.

sunken Vessels "speared."

A device recently patented fer rails
ing sunken vessels promises to be fair
ly effective. The principle underlying
the invention is the firing into the ves-
sells a novel form of grip. This, after
penetrating the hull, automatically
opens out two extending arms like
our hay unloaders, which firmly grasp
the plates. The grips are discharged
from special gun by means of COM
pressed air. After being loaded on
the surface, the gun is submerged to
the level of the vessel and is then
fred by electricity, magnetic power be-
ing employed to keep the muzzle Of
the gun pointing toward the vessel.
The gun can be raised and reloaded
as often as is necessary. When sutfi-
cient number of grips have been
placed in position, the vessel, if 1t is
not q. too great a depth, can be re-
noated by means of the cables attach
ed to them. If, however, the water
is too deep cylinders are slid down the
cables, and compressed air is pumped
into them until they are buoyant
enough to raise the vessel.

PART PAY On THEIR BOARD
Good Thing n Some Other Idlsrs
Would Fellow che Example Of
This Orieflese Lawyer.

Still. one must conclude, humanity
Is progressing. A lawyer who Isl oc-
cupied most Of his days In smoking
briar pipe with his feet higher than
his head got ashamed of himself and
is raising patch Of potatoes. Now,
that will be all clear gain to- the USE
full production Of the world. Suppose
all the men who are principally en-
gagged in polishing the seat of their
pants come to d similar state of mind (!
Suppose all the fellows who are camp
ing around the streets and offices watt
Ing to snare vagrant dollar should
get the idea that they ought to pro-
duce something useful and help pay
their board to the world. Suppose
this impossible situati0n-suppose
that they all become ashamed Of them
selves and produce few potatoes or
beans, or even spinach or carrots.
Why, the bins and granaries of the
world would be simply bursting with
food. We might be short many things,
but not food.
A lot of people who are paying their
board with talk could make a wonder
full increase in food production If they
decided to go to work.
We would not only have more food,
which is highly desirable, but we
would have less talk; the service
would cut two ways.
The other morning a man In q car
came down the street at about SO an
hour and blew me off the crossing.
It looked like case of emergency.
l thought, at the least, that he was
taking somebody to the hospital. or It
might have been body to the morgue,
or case of murder and he was going
after the police. So I checked him
down into the next block and watched
him go into his Office, take off his
coat, light cigar, and sit down at
his desk and read magazine.
What do you suppose was his hur-
ry?
This man could handle ten acres 0f
potatoes handily on his lost time, and
at the same time cease blowing peo-
pie off the street crossings. That
would cut two ways, too.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

Common Errors n Ensiish and

4 MOMENTS reflection will show

and that direction Is up or upward.
Therefore, do not rise up in the

such thing az falling up; 1t would

expressed by saying, "This ends the

by several parties in garage on East
Broadway on November I.
The charges are aimed primarily
at Sheriff Buck Garrett. but the at

will not stop here. but will include
several other county officials whom
1t is alleged have been lax In the per.
fornancc OF their duties.

Bill Now Pending in Con-
gress Would Cause APP
pointment Of % New
District Judges.
SPAULDING THINKS
PRESENT PLAN GOOD
Judge Williams Is Held Ac-
countable for Affairs here;
Wouldn't Like Change.

The question OF dividing federal
court districts is stlll up in the air
according TO a statement given out
by United States Commissioner G.. A.
Spaulding this morning, and in his
opinion a bill now pending before
congress will settle the matter by ap-
pointing % additional federal Judges
wherever their services are required
and let all districts remain as they
are at present.
Commissioner Spaulding stated that
he had quite a long talk with Judge
Williams about the matter the last
time he was in Ardmore, and the
plan now pending does not meet with
his approval.
Judge Williams stated that the dis
trict TO which he was assigned was
chargeable to him. that the people
looked to him to assume all RESPONSE
bility. and that he was held TO a
strict accountability in every par
ticular.
In dividing the district and appoint.
ing another judge, it would relieve
him of a part of the burden and make
his colleague equally responsible with
him. On the other hand n Judge
working under appointment with no
special district assigned to his care,
would be relieved of all responsibility
altogether. as he would probably never
be assigned to a district many times
during the tenure of his office, and
would therefore not have the personal
interest local judge would have.
Commissioner Spauldlng stated that
he was unable to state just what
would eventually happen, but up to
the present nothing definite had been
dnna
