Machine Work snd nandworh.

1t is to be remembered that, notwith-
ing all we hear of the vast superiority
of machine over handwork, this ma
chinery must itself possess as great, if
not greater, accuracy and refinement
than the product manufactured by it..
No machine can in this respect be su-
peIior to it's maker. 1t can only produce
sufficiently accurate and good work at
a lower cost than if made by him. The
first sewing machine of a kind, built by
skilled machinists OF toolmakers, is at
least as good and as accurately made as
any subsequently manufactured by ma
chinery, and the sano men can dupli-
cate it moro exactly than can any ma
chinery, but machines built thus would
cost far more than people could afford to
pay for them, and that is all there is to
the talk of the substitution of the "cer-
tainty and accuracy of machinery for the
uncertainty and inaccuracy Of hand
work. ."-Scribner's Magazine.

CROP CONDITIONS.

Drought Has Played Havoc in tho Gen.
trail and Southern states.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The October
returns OF the department OF agricul-
turs make the general condition of corn
76 last month, and 1913 for October,
1892. This falling off is the result OF
continued drought since June and not
broken in the corn belt until the latter
part of September. The drought was
most severe in the principal corn-pro-
ducing states. The averages OF the con-
dition in these states are: Ohio, 70
Indiana, 81; Illinois, so; lows, 90; Mis-
souri,, So; Kansas, "a; Nebraska, 65.
Returns of the yield per acre of wheat
indicate a production of about 11.3
bushels, being IL bushels less than the
last October estimate. The rate OF yield
in New York WAS 14.5 bushels; Penn
sylvania, 14.0; Ohio, $50; Michigan,
1870; Indiana, 14.2; Illinois, lilo; Wis
consin. 1873; Minnesota, 9.1; iowa,
lis; Missouri, 9.5; Kansas, 4 Nsb-
rsska, 81; South Dakota, SO; North
Dakota, 9.5; California, I12. The high
est rate is in New England, the eastern,
the extreme western and the mountain
states, and the lowest in the central,
west and southern states. The small
yield is the result OF drought in the fall
which caused poor termination and
growth, the severe winter following
causing considerable winter killing.
The low condition in many states is the
result OF dry spring. The yield would
have been much less had not much
worthless wheat been plowed up and
the ground put in other grains. The
quality in the eastern, southern and
Pacific states is up to the average, while
in the states from which the commercial
supplies are obtained, ia below the aver
sge. The states reporting the lowest
averages as to quality are: Kentucky,
SO; Illinois, so; Wisconsin, 85; Iowa,
SS; Missouri, rs; Kansas, S5; Nebrss-
ka, "a.
The average yield OF oats, as consoli-
dated, is 25.5 bushels, against 24.3 last
year. The last report of condition was
"A 8 against 1873 the same month last
year.
The average yield of barley Is 2l.7

CurcAou, Oct. 10.--A large number OF
people, attracted to the city by the
Chicago day pageant, will remain most
of the week, and they added materially
to the worlds fair attendance today.
The weather continues perfect. Physi-
clans and attendants worked nearly all
night over people who met with acci-
dents in the fearful crushes yesterday
and last night, but the patients were
rapidly discharged this morning.
In pieces of paper, empty lunch bas-
kets and a generally trampled appear
ance this morning, the grounds gave
evidence of yesterdays great host.
This was North Dakota day. Governor
Shortridge, Ex-Governor Burke and
other prominent citizens OF the state took
part in the exercises in the state build
ing. 1t was also Fremen's day, and
many fire laddies were on the grounds.
Veteran fremen were at the fair In
great numbers. prominent among them
being the Veteran Firemen's association
OF California, escorted by old fremen OF
Chicago. They paraded through the
grounds, having with them an old
hand engine built in New York
in 1920 for Martin Van Buren.
1t was the first engine in the state OF
California. The Chicago men bad with
them an engine that YVES used in the
Chicago fire. The veterans spent most
OF the day in the California building,
where they were royalty entertained.
The national commission today in
structed the committee on ceremonies
to prepare for the grandest exercises yet
given, as fitting close OF the fair. 1t
is not yet determined whether the cele-
bration will be on the last day only or
on the last three days.
That the great mass OF the people who
went to the fair yesterday did not have
enough OF it, is evidenced by the fact
that the total attendance today reached
1856, ,264, Of which sos, ,6l3 were paid.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The fact that
voting on the Tucker bill to repeal the

EDIroRs HERALD AS a near neighbof
and an old friend OF MIR. G. B. Ehaffer, /
wish to enter protest against the man
ner OF his treatment by the HERALD in
an article in Saturdays issue entitled
Children Arrested. The idea OF mali
cioualy persecuting innocent children as
would be inferred. was, know, furthest
from Mr.. Shaifer's mind. On the
contrary he made the complaint with
great reluctance and not until after con-
sultation with District Attorney Dillon
and Chief of Police Glass, who advised
1t and at the earnest solicitation OF sew
eral OF his neighborB, who likewise had
been suffering from the pillages OF these
boys and also at the request of the
mother OF one of the boys who wished
he could be sent to. Whittier aa he was
beyond her control.
Scarcely a day passes but these boys
ransack someone's back yard or base
ment and appropriate anything porta'
BILE. which they dispose OF at con-
venient junk shop. Mr.. Shetfer is a
respectable citiz9n, and it was with a
sense OF conscientious duty that be
owed to his neighbofhood as we'll as to
the boys themselves that prompted him
to cause their arrest, in order to convey
to their minds, as well as to the other
boys in the locality with whom they
associate, practical leseon that might
cause them to abandon the road to a
life OF highway robbery and crime-the
way to which they have been fast trav-
cling. This neigh5orhood has tried
repeatedly to secure police officer,
but in vain, and failing in that it does
appear to us that the officers and the
press should rather aid in the euppres-
sion and abatement OF this now intoIera-
BILE nuisance rather than belittle the
character of those who are properly en-
deavoring to check an evil that prom
ises to assume such proportions that
may sometime cost the county and city
many hundreds of dollars, to say moth
ing of the demoralizing influence the
fostering of such an evil has upon the
youths in the community in which it
exists.
AS an act of justice to Mr.. Shaffer.
kindly insert this explanation and
oblige. Very truly, S. L. G.
