long as it would run, no thought was !
given to changing oil. So there came
a day soon when the poor old tractor
stopped in mid-field, and not even the
profanity Of the tramp mechanic could
make it move again. And Farmer
Jones suddenly remembering that he
had $1,000 invested in the tractor, for
got that he was a deacon in the Pres
byterian church and "cussed" the
manufacturers both orally and by let
ter.
Jone, by the way, is rather COM
mon name.
1t is conservatively estimated that
farm machinery well cared for will
last from three to five years longer
than machinery in the hands of care
less farmer. Another way of putting
it is that proper care of machinery,
when not in use, saves the owner one
eighth of his total investment each
year. This means in dollars and
cents, that if farmer has $4,000 in
vested, proper housing and oiling of
the implements will save him $3.50
year And the added satisfaction and
saving from properly operating tight
fitting, smooth running machinery
need no argument for their proof.
A farmer who has for many years
profited by giving special attention to
his farm machinery, uses the follow
ing methods:
He as an implement shed near the
barn so that it is no trouble to Un-
hitch and leave all machinery in this
shed in coming from the cid, where
all repairing tools and repair parts
are kept.
As soon as the work is done for the
season, he overhauls every implement,
knowing that if the work is not COM
pleted promptly break or weakness
is usually forgotten until the me-
chanic is needed again. After a ma
chine has been overhauled, it is oiled
and is then repainted, thus giving
added protection to metal parts. Plow
shares and cultivator shovels are Civ
, en- a good coat Of heavy grease, so
that they always have the perfectly
E smooth surface that good securing re-
} uu;res.
{ When this farmer buys a new lmple-
: ment, he buys on the basis of quality

y ments of inferior quality. And he

quirements of every new machine be

boodshed and destruction of the World war, do
not deter them from preparing for war or for
giving occasion for further strife. No wonder
that many observers believe that the civilization
of Europe is tottering.
1t is very easy to see why the foreign offices
of the great powers are anxious to know how
far the United States will concern itself about
European affairs. Knowing as they do our ma
tional reluctance to participate in the entangle-
ments and disputes of European countries and
our oft-repeated declaration that we believe that
we must work out our destiny on the American
continent, their diplomats still wonder if we will
now forsake our old standpoint and take sides in
their troubles.
We hope that President Harding will make
clear to NJ Viviani, the former French premier,
that the United States still stands on the prin-
ciples which President Washington set forth
when the republic was still young. We want to
see Industrial and commercial peace restored in
Europe so that millions who are on the border
line of starvation may return to work, but we
have no desire to enter into political relation
that will make us party to continental disputes
over territory.
If the people of >Europe want to fight with
each other and destroy their civilization, that is
their own right and privilege. We have no de-
sire to interfere. For our part we seek to be-
come powerful and wealthy not by wars of ag-
grandizement but by ways of peace, based on
honorable dealings and lofty ideals. We pray
that the European nations will adopt the same
view.
Our perseverance in the ways of peace has
exalted to the lofty plane of national great
ness. We do not seek war, neither do we care
to become party to diplomatic entanglements
that may involve us in hostilities which, in the
end, will serve only the interests of some Euro
pean power. We may be accused of proud
isolation" but so far it has been the bulwark of
our strength, politically and financially.

Ripping Rhymes

UNSUNG HEROES

The owner Of the Rlue Front store
has ample reason to be sore, to heave
a throbbing sigh; for when the price
slump hit the land he had all kinds of
goods on hand, he bought at prices
high. He had to sell them under cost,
and every night there was a frost,
when he sized up the till; each day Of
business stripped his roll, and put him
further in the hole-it was bitter pill.
And yet he wore smiling face, and
went around with princely grace, refus-
ing to be glum. and urged his neigh
hors to be glad and boost their good
old native grad, and help to make
things hum. The merchant princes of
the land have seen a seasons profits
canned, they had plexus blow; Wen
just forget the loss they cry. for
better luck will soon come by-we
haven't time for woe" The wailings
come from doleful gents who lost some
twelve or fourteen cents, from pikers

The Attempt of Emperor Charles to Regain
Throne

The failure of former Emperor Charles to set

tranquility.
America may consider herself fortunate, in
deed, that she did not accept the instrument and
cannot be held accountable for the chaos that is
to be found in those regions, and for the appre-
