cherished dreams for the past three years, and
in a quiet way no has been raising funds by

NO POLITICS IN THE UNIVERSITY
The Missouri Professors Must Keep to Their
Legitimate Dutiea.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, July 22.-The following state
ment was obtained to-day from DR.. John d. Vim
oil, President of the Missouri University Board
Of Curators. with regard to the management of
the institutions:
Amy attempt to manipulate and awe the pres.
ont board will be as futile as is weak the mind
that conceived the purpose. The university be-
longs to the people Of Missouri.
Those who are selected by it's management
to form and lead young life cannot and must not
prostitute the great opportunities placed In
their hands to unworthy ends. There is a moral
responsibility created by virtue of tho relation
sustained to the youth Of tho country on tho
part of those who are assigned duties in the
university.
"The university must not be politicalized or
sectarianized. No one will dare question the
right of professor, or teacher to his politica,
and teacher will not be held ~guiltless for making
use OF the tremendous power OF positions sus-
tainod by the state to inoculate students with
any kind OF political doctrine no may wish to
formulate. Professors and teachers are not en-
ployed for that purpose.
None OF. the parents of the day send their
sons or wards TO the State University to be
taught political dogmas. The professor who
DIVORCES from his appointed work Is not honest
and fails to meet his obligation to the State"

II Reapa. Threshos. and Sacks Three bushels
OF wheat In n Minute.

STOCKTON. CAL, July 22.-Farmors are coming
for miles to see at work tho biggest grain har-
vester In the world on Roberts Island in tho
San Joaquin River near this city. The machine
turns out three sixty.pound sacks Of wheat
every minute. Tho machine has a cutting line
Of ffty.two feet, and 1t also thrcshes and sacks
the grain. In one run around a 4,Oo0.acre field
1t will turn out hundreds OF sacks Of wheat ready
for market.
The cost OF harvesting has been reduced to n
minimum by this machine and tho number OF
days consumed in getting a large field ready for
market will BIO about half that of tho regular
harvester. Eight or ten men handle 1t easily
while 1t is turning out from 1900 to 1900
sacks q day OF ten hours and sweeping 100 acres
Of grain clean.
At present 1t is working in the heaviest wheat
ever grown in this country. The grain on tho
islands has always been tall and of rank growth,
but this year 1t was much heavier than in past
seasons. No difficulty has been experienced in
harvesting. as the traction engine, which was
built especially for the machine, pushes it
through the thick grain with about the same
ease that an ordinary engine would draw n
wagon over n country road.
