Even everyday citizens who know but little of the

no one's business if he doesn't. He must look to himself, not
to the authorities, to remedy the situation. v.:?..-- ;

1 At this time of the year when farm! machinery for the
most part is laid aside thought should bfe given to its care
until its use next season. Investigations of the depreciation
of farm machines show startling results inregard to exposure
of them to the elements. These investigations show that
machines depreciate twice as quickly wherleft uncovered out
in the weather as when covered or carejsl for inside. For
example let us take" a farm which requires $600 worth of
machinery to properly equip it. In fact the average Western
Oregon farm requires about this outlay ill farm machinery.
If these machines are properly housel they will depre
ciate approximately $48 in value each year,, but if they are not
carefully used and housed the depreciation is at least $96 a
year and in some cases much more.- It is evident that it pays
well to house machinery and that the housing will be. more
than paid for within a short time by savingjin depreciation.
But there are other conditions, which 4iirge the housing
of machines. Should the farmer s desire to! sell them at any
time, he will obtain a much higher price if they bear evidence
of careful housing than he will if they are feather-beaten in
appearance. Again when machines are exposed for a long
time to the weather during the idle season; much more time
and effort is usually required to get them to ;working properly
than would be required had they been housed, on account of
the rust and general depreciation. And this time at the har
vest season is worth more to the farmer than that of any
period of the year. ' f ;
It is desirable to keep the machines well painted. Not
only: is this wise from the standpoint of better appearance
but for protection from the weather when the machine is not
in use. Paint in fact adds very" greatly to the length of life
of machinery. An application of . some anti-rust substance is
also good cr. machinery and this may be obtained at nominal
cost. On the basis of "money saved is money earned," the
proper housing and care of machinery is one of the farmer's
opportunities' to add to his bank account.

The custom of pressing a scriptural verse to the lips as

our presidents was introduced by Washington, the first presi
dent of the United States, and has been adhered to by all the
presidents since his time. . V
Grover Cleveland was evidently an admirer of the Psalms,
for in his first inauguration he selected Psalm 112:5, 6 and 7;
and in his second inauguration he chose Psalm 113:4 and
Psalm 91:15. . '

same Bible used by George Washington. When he had con
eluded taking the oath, he reverently pressed to his lips the
Bible, opened at Micah 6 :8. He then delivered his inaugural
address, and in closing" said: "I have taken the solemn oath
of office on that passage'of Holy Writ wherein it is asked:
"'He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good: and what
does the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love
