EXCESSIVE SPEED Is
BELT MACHINE WASTE
Farmers Save Money by
Economically Operating
Belt Machinery.

There were wasted thousands of
dollars this fall when the 100000 silo
owners Of the Badger state ran their
filing machines faster than the most
efficient rate of speed A machine
has been devised to detect the posi-
bility Of this enormous waste. 1t
has been working overtime on the
silo filling outfits at the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture 1t is called a
traction dynamometer, and was con-
structed by f. w. Duffee of the state
agricultural engineering department
It's purpose is to ferret out the most
economical speed to run any cutter or
any farm belt machinery.
Tells Economical Speed.
In the past, according to Duffee,
there has been altogether too much
guessWork as to the correct speed at
which to run belt machinery. He has
found that the most economical speed
at which to run any farm belt ma
chinery gets the best results. very
few people realize he declares, chow
much money is run UP the blower of
score of ways by farm belt machinery.
Nest Of this waste is due to our lack
of proper knowledge as to the most
economical speed at which to run our
machinery.
There are great number of diff
ferent types and brands of farm belt
machinery on the market today, and,
-, ic
about on the same level when it
comes to doing the work; but there Is
a slight possibility that one type may
be superior enough over the other
types so that it would be the most
economical type to buy. With the
traction dynamometer we will be able
to note the slightest degree of super
Tor or inferior economy of the one
type over the other types of belt ma
chines.'
Power Plant Not Costly
A four-cylinder 5O-horse power gas
oline engine furnishes the power in
the traction dynamometer plant. The
engine is mounted on a frame in
cradle which allows the engine to
swing on two extra large bearings.
An arm extends from the cradle.
shaft to an oil chamber, and as the
engine is running the arm moves In
accordance to the amount of power
exerted to pull the ensilage cutter or
whatever it may be. The swinging of
the engine in the cradle can be ex-
planned through the laws of nature as
there is reaction to every action,
and as the load becomes heavier or
lighter as the case might be, the arm
forces the oil back through gauge
which registers automatically the dis
tance of swing. A stop watch auto
matically registers the time through
which the engine has carried the load
Then, there are the revolutions of the
engine which are automatically reg
istered All the operator Of the trac-
ton dynamometer has to do is to re-
cord the figures in his notebook, and
with a little extra figuring he i'm
mediately knows how many horse
power were required to pull the en-
silage cutter or whatever kind of belt
machine that may be the subject Of
the experiment when running at a GER
tain speed.
The whole plan which Duffee
wishes to carry out in the experiments
with the traction dynamometer is to
determine finally and show by actual
dgures the most efficient speed at
which to run all farm belt machinery.

lightly. arrived at. We have studied the record and the utterances of MT. Davis. His record in congress and as solicitor general is one that all work ing men and women can well feel proud of. The recent decision of the. United States supreme court upholding that provision of the Clayton antitrust act which provides for trial by jury in the case of labor leaders being cited for contempt calls attention to one of the brilliant performances in MT. Da- vis' career. If he never did anything else, that alone should gain for him the support of all our members. It was MT. Davis who wrote that section of the Clayton antitrust act and who bat tied so steadfastly to uphold it's con- stitutionality. :.
 "The courageous attitude of Mir.
 Davis in speaking his mind on all
 pressing problems of the day com
 mends itself to us. His straight
 forward declaration on religious
 freedom and personal liberty have
 res0unded throughout the country,
 and must confOund those candidates
 who seek to cloak themselves in si-
 fence for political advantage.
 In indorsing the candidacy of John W. Davis we urge all our members to vote and work for him earnestly; we likewise urge every member, man and woman, to join whole-heartedly in tho campaign to re-elect Governor Alfred E Smith, the ablest governor New York ever had, and the most sincere friend that the working man and working woman ever had in the governors chail at Albany. We hiust not forget to re ward him for his performances which have been contrasted so wildly with the illusive promises of others.

 As hearing here ended Samuel JJntermyer, of New York, supporter of Johi. W. Davis, who has been asso- ciated with counsel for Senator Robert M. La Toilette, said he and his asso- ciates felt thus far they had "on'y scratched the surface" and after the election they would want to go fully into contributions and expenditures Ill the states. Weymouth Kirkland, counsel for the republican national committee, asserted that there has been no evidence to sup port La Follette's charge of republican slush fund.

 William V. Hodges, national repub- lican treasurer, gave to the committee this list of contributions from states returned to them by the republican national committee AlabaEa $1,1O6; Arizona $2,649 1; California S5,639; Colorado S21, ,3O9 :; Florida $7S5; Illinois $170,092 Indi- ana $34,7ls; Iowa $1S,640; Kansas S4,496; Kentucky $3,650.

Republican Total Has Mounted To $3,750,O00,
 Says Treasurer
(Leased Wire to Age.Herald)


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.- The campaign fund investiga. ton, dragging through it's final hours here in the cross-fire of attorneys, mas adjourned over the election, without any find ings that are expected to have any material effect upon the balloting Tuesday, but with some revelations of campaign methods that probably will boost efforts in congress to further regulate party expen- ditures.
 Senator Borah is on his way here from Chicago to have final meeting with the committee Saturday, when it's further program will be outlined. It has been indicated that the com mittee will issue a statement at that time covering its work to date, but that will be determined at the Satur- day meeting.
 To Continue Probe
 After the election, the committee IS expected to go forward with its ln- vestigation, and then to draw up a comprehensive report for submission to congress. This report is expected to give m impetus to enactment of legislation for regulation of camyaigr expenditures, taken up at the last congress, but fniling through veto of ,h ,,>e<o1 eoIary ipcraoco hill Inv 10 president, which carried as rider a complete new corrupt practices act framed by representatives Cable, of Ohio.
 Senator Borah. chairman of the pres cnt committee, took leading part in the senate in the campaign for regu- lative legislation. He introduced a bill in the senate, providing new corrupt practices act, which was more drastic |, in some particulars than the Cable measure, but the bill of the house was Accepted finally. Borah is expected to open ur the fight in the next session.
 Accomplishment Near
 Some method which would cut down considerably the maximum contri- buttons allowed, so that campaigns would be financed to greater degree Dy tle rank and file of the voters, has long been urged, and it appears that the time is at hand for successful accomplishment of this aim.
 The outstanding testimony during the investigation has been that which gave an insight into the intricate organization used by the republican national committee in collecting funds Nthrongh committees in various business and professional lines. There has been no evidence presented. however, to substantiate ''slush fund.-" as charged by Senator La Follettee, who said the amount would run over $10,000,- GOO. As far as has been shown, the republican fund will not run much over $3,000,000, the figure set.
