or crease on the bright unpainted

aoe He said that the following
narts of various pieces of farm
.eouipment should be covered with
film Of oil or grease during stor-
oga. ploWs - moldboard, share,
landslide, coulter and jointer; disc
barrows-disc blades; corn plant

feed shaft, and gears; binders
sickle, guards, bills, knotter, need
Ie and chains; mowers ers-cutterbar

blades. Transmission grease is bet
fer than crankcase oil because It is
heavier. Ramp said. However, old
crankcase oil is better than no pro-
lection at all, he emphasized. On
gears and working parts, crank
case oil is often better than heav-
iar grease because it is easier to
clean off when the implement is
being prepared for use. Protection
from the weather is important be-
cause the paint on implements Of
ten is ruined by the elements and
rust eventually takes the imple-
ment. open sheds Or even canvas
covers will do much to protect
farm machinery, he said.

WASHING TON

CROP CONTROL - The subject
of crop control is still an important
one in both Houses of Congress.
Each house is debating a different
farm bill. There is a great deal of
disagreement over the measures.
POSTAL BILL-To the Senate
went a bill favorably reported from
the Senate Committee on Postof-
fees. The bill provides that the
three highest persons in examina-
tions for postmasterships be eligi-
BILE for Presidential appointment.
HIGHWAY APPROPRIATION
REDUCTION - If Congress ap-
proves the Presidents suggestion
for reduction of 100000 a year
in Federal Appropriations for high
ways the State provisions for re-
lief Of the unemployed will receive
set back.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
The practice of setting wages,
hours, and working conditions
through signed agreements with
trade unions has shown marked
extension since 1888. This advance
has taken place in two waves.
| MORE BORROW TO PUR-
CHASE FARMS - Nearly 10000
requests have been received by the
Federal land banks in the last ten
months for loans to be applied in
the purchase of farms. The amount
applied for totalled $38, ,O0O, 900 and
the requests came from every state
in the Union.
! POULTRY AND EGG STTUA-
TION- Important developments in
the poultry and egg situation dur
ing November, were the break in
the non-seasonaI rise in farm
chicken prices; the continued less
than-average seasonal advance in
farm egg prices; the continued
high rate Of egg production per
bird and the continued slow out
of-storage movement of eggs.
Farm chicken prices usually do not
rise after May or June, but in 1887
the price continued to rise until it
reached the high point in October.
This advance may prove to be
partly at the expense of the 1888
seasonal advance, which normally
occurs from January to May. De
cline this month, therefore, tends
to restore chicken prices to a more
nearly normal relation with their
usual seasonal course.

Across from the public square in
one of the old European cities
stood the old Seminary Of st. Sui
pice, sheltered behind a high wall
with an iron gate. Here gathered
year after year for training the
young clerics who sought to be
priests.
In the public square stood state
ly trees and green shrubbery
F1ower-lined walks lead to the
sculptured fountain that graced
the center of the square with its
overf1owing cascade of liquid pearls
glistening il the sunlight. Before
the merry flowing fountain sat
women upon benches knitting. On
the grass romped noisy children.
One day, the sixth of October, to
be exact, the iron gate Of the Sem
mary opened a young robed
priest emerged and hastily crossed
the park On he went until he
came to the home of a friend
where he exchanged his clerical
garb for that of a man of the
street.
It was Renan.
Lured away from the faith of his
Church by his doubts concerning
the Scriptures he left the Semin-
ary, which, with his closing of the
iron gate, passed forever from his
life.
Eighteen years later he wrote
book in which he made an effort
to rob the Christ Of His divine
character and to reduce Him to
the level of a religious enthusiast.
Today the sculpured fountain,
surrounded by knitting women, is
still sending forth its sparkling
gems, little children are still romp-
ing upon the grass, waiting the call
of the same old Seminary bell when
they will file into the old Church
with its faded pictures, to recite
the same old catachism.
But Renan, the scholar, is gone.
Gone too is his book-to be found
only among the antiques of that
day.

emulated today in pro golf as five
players led the Hollywood open
tournament into its final round.
The five we're abreast with 1885,

PHOTOS SHOW
LEONARD CURED

President Clark C. Griffith an
|nounced today that x-ray photo
graphs of Emil Leonard, the
knuckle-ball pitcher drafted from
the Atlanta club of the Southern
Association, reevaled no intestinal
distractions, and said that the
pitcher would be ready for a ban
ner year in 1888. Leonard suffered
from kidney stones while work
ing in the livery of the Brooklyn
Dodgers and never was able to
show at his best. With his trouble
abated, he may do well with the
local club.
Leonard won IA games in the
Southern Association last year,
and showed the form that caused
Brooklyn to engage him. While
with the Dodgers, Leonard incur.
red the wrath of AL Lopez, Brook
llyn's ace catcher. 1t seemed that
Leonard's knuckle ball had a way
of dancing away from Lopez'S
glove and whacking him on the
knuckles. However, much the
hand suffered, it was nothing to
the way Lopez pride suffered.
If Leonard can do the things
Griff thinks he will do, the local
pitching staff should be all right
next year. Krakauskas, if he learns
to pitch has enough stuff on the
ball to win, and Chase may do all
right.
