ADVICE ABOUT
BINDER HEADS
State Department Of Mechanics
Tells How Troubles May Be
Adjusted.

Now is the time to check up on
binder head troubles OF last year,
according to r. I. Shawl OF the de-
nartment of farm mechanics at the
University of Illinois In most
cases there is q good reason for
the binder head failing to operate,
and the trouble can be remedied by
making adjustments or putting in
parts, he said.
"If the spring that throws the
dog out in the path Of the binder
head drive on the packer shaft, is
weak or missing, the discharge
arms will fail to start, or revolve
only part way" Mr.. Shawl stated.
"The discharge arms will revolve
continuously casting out small bun
dies, when the dog is out OF time, or
the faces of the dog and stop arm
are worn SO as not to hold. Small
bundles may be cast out in tangled
grain where the weight OF the cast
bundle will trip the machine. In
this case it will help to tie a looser
bundle
The Irvine tension should be
Just tight enough to keep the
Irvine from pulling out OF the can
too fast when the needle advances
to tie the bundle. Never use the
Irvine tension to secure tighter
bundle. Many tying troubles can
be remedied by setting the Irvine
tension properly

ERANCE is to be left to act as she
sees fit when Germany defaults on
the reparatlons payments In January,
but she will not have the active sup
port of Great Britain. That appears to
be the sole outcome of the meeting of
the allied premiers in London from
which so much was expected. First,
they fatty rejected the tentative plan
offered by Chancellor Cuno, which was
no surprise to Berlin. Then the vari-
GUS premiers submitted their proposals,
and after discussion they merely ad-
journed until January 2, when they
meet In Paris. Poincare's plan, includ-
ing the occupation of the Ruhr and
Essen, has been told before. Musso-
lini for Italy offered program for the
cancellation of lnterallied debts In re-
turn for reduction of German repara-
tons. with Great Britain not making
conditions difficult by asking that
America cancel the debt owed 1t. He
said If such plan could be adopted,
Italy would help Germany in the task
Of reconstruction If not, then Italy
would back France In any action she
might decide upon.
Bonar Law clung to his policy of
tranquility" and made 1t clear that
the British government would be quite
willing to reconsider the question of
cancellation of the French debt. pro
vided such step was made possible
by reparatlons settlement satlsfac-
tory to Great Britain. Later he virtual
ly told Poincare that If the French in
sisted on seizing physical pledges for
German good faith, Great Britain,
while 1t could not approve actively,
would not oppose. Tie British re-
fused to be associated In any effort to
induce the United States to cancel Its
debt, and Mussolinl thought America
should be left out of the discussion Of
the problem.
