I Durham, Jan. 21.—Trinity Metho dist Episcopal Church. South, is this afternoon a mass of smouldering runs and only the outer walls stand out in grim relief of what once was one of tin* city’s most beautiful churches. The. building was destroyed by flames [which required several hours of hard fighting on the part of the firemen who ] worked under danger of falling walls j and the lofty steeple before it could I ,be gotten under control. The origin |of tlie lire lias as yet been underter- I mined. j At 7 o’clock this morning, soon af ter the fire had been made in the' finance, the janitor defected smoke! in the building. About 7:30 o'clock lie went for a member of the lire de partment at the station located close iiy. The fireman made an iuspeotiton of the building and immediately sent a call for the fire lighting equipment. By this time the Sunday school de partment was a mass of flame which quickly eat its way into the main auditorium of the church. Fighting | headway made, by the tire the firemen j fciight ir valiant tight and through I their excellent work the .Jinnies were kept from spreading to the parsonage close by and to other dwellings. Nine streams of water were turned onto tin* building from every side. Cut the Cost of Machinery. Raleigh. N. JanA22. —There is no one item of expense on the average farm handled with less care and with greater yet wholly unnecessary loss in proportion to the amount invested than the machinery used on that farm, says E. it. Raney, farm engineering specialist for the Agricultural Exten sion Service. The average life of machinery, such as mowers, rakes. hajTows, plows, or bay presses,, where left out in tin* weather during tin* winter and at. other times when not in use. is not more than live years, but when proper ly cared for should he at least ten or twelve years, states Mr. Raney. Nor does this take into account tin* loss of time and good humor in getting started with machines, tin* metal parts of which have rusted and the wood dried, twisted and wanted from lack of paint. He says that every machine should be done over completely at the end of its main working season. The metal parts, such as the disc or plow shaves that conn* in contact with tin* ground during operation, should bo given a good'eoat of heavy oil or grease, and all other parts painted as when new. • It is much easier, he finds, to locate work or broken parts when the work has just boon finished than to wait 'until tin* next season begins. •On many large farms, states Air. : Raney, the amount saved on the life of machines would more than pay for a good implement shed. He recently • visited such a farm where the ma i chinery shed is paying good dividends. • ITans for this and similar sheds may be obtained from Air. Raney free of ; cost by writing to him at the Division of Farm Engineering, Agricultural Extension Service, Raleigli. N.

Natirraily, re- j suits have been spotted the team hav- t ing good and bad games in order. The j opening game against (’amp Bragg was ( lost by two points, but the second < game against Newberry college Trinity J looked and played like a veteran out- jt fit, only to turn in four days to play a 1 ragged gttme against the Durham V. ] Only one day later with two regulars i missing"" Trinity secured revenge on Camp Bragg in probably her ’ best game of the' year. This irregular rec ord speaks for inconsistency, but also shows .]tower, ami promises that be fore the season gets cold Trinity will hear watching. At present Trinity is working with out two regulars, (’apt. Jimmy Simp son is still nursing Ids .ankle, and will probably be missing still another week. While (Jus Winters. the fast little guard is out for probably more than a week. In spite of these absences the squad is speeding up. To fill these blank spaces three promising fresh men have stepped up to the first squad. Muss, an elongated youngster, has earned promotion by an accurate .eye: Harvey Johnston, -foothall fullback, is developing, while Hayes, the Asheville school prospect, is now bidding strong for running guard. It is rumored that the probabilities are strong for a game with State on the goth of January, if this game is arranged it will be one of the most important of the year. Making the Farm Wood Lot Pay. Farm Life. Farmers who are without a woods of any kind will find it worth while to set aside some part of their land and start one at once. Hilly land which is be ing gullied by washing can lie put to no better use than propagating trees. Seedlings for such planting often can In obtained from the state nurseries (if the state of residence Ims a re serve) and some of the national re serves supply seedlings to growers in certain regions. Stratifying seeds for planting is a process that can be car ried out by any farmer and no special facilities nor technical knowledge are required. Planting is as simple as planting any farm crop. With the publfc awakened to the. new importance of the tree, much ben eficial legislation Ims recently been pn-ssed by the states to encourage, for estry. This legislation is taking va rious forms. Some states have vir tually made land maintained exclusive ' ly for forest preservation, tax free, i Til is, it is belie.ved, will greatly stim late timber growth and influence the farmer to give more attention to the wood crop. ! Without sonic such concessions he 1 often has not felt, justified in surrend ering heavily assessed land for pur -1 poses which yield a limited and infre quent revenue. But the help of fav orable legislation and the educational work of the professional forester is hound to arouse, popular interest: and the business eye of the progressive farm manager is looking at the wood ‘ crop proposition. * OOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOCCOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOGOCOOCXXXX>OOOOOOOOQ I* A little comparison is good for the soul!
