NEW WEAVING MACHINE.
/; turers of France to Meet
I German Competition.

In their effort to meet German com
petition, the fabric manufacturers of
Roubaix, France, have developed the
new weaving machine, which in speed
surpasses the new Northrop machine
of American invention and permits the
use of ordinary material. The fabric
produced is turned out at the aston
dshingly rapid rate of from 100 to 175
yards per day of ten hours; there is
great economy, one workman oversee
ing six machines, and the motive force
Is one-half of the ordinary require
ment. The fabric shows a woven effect
on one side and knitted on the other,
and it Is believed that the machine will
be powerful factor in competing for
the plain goods market il not for high
novelties

NOVEL WAY TO COLLECT FEE.
Canadian Chief Justice Gives Uncle
snm n Hint Which Is Prompt
ly Taken.

The chief justice of Canada has ap-
parently determined to take no
chances on securing the fee which he
hns earned for acting as arbitrator in
the case of Victor McCord, the Amer
lean citizen, against the government
of Peru. Several days ago he tele-
graphed the state department that he
had formulated his decision and placed
Ut in the keeping of a Canadian bank.
The telegram also contained the in
formation that Justice Strong's fee
was $4,000. The state department took
hhe hint ut once, and half of that
emount, the share of the United States
u now on its way to the chief justice.
Peru has not been heard from, but it is
bsfe to say the official copy of the judg-
sment rendered by Justice Strong will
Fenain in charge of the bank until he
receives the full amount of his fee.

WOULD EXTEND PARCEL POST.
Traffic Commissioners Have n Plan
That Worries Express
Companies.

Officials of the various express COM
Panies doing business in ST. Louis are
much worried over a pamphlet which
has just been issued by the National
Association of Traffic Commissioners
in regard to the payment of the war
stamp tax on express receipts and con-
tanning suggestions for the extension
of the parcel post in the United States.
The work is designed to bring about
b general movement all over the coun-
try to have the interstate commerce law
changed SO as to place express com
panies under the jurisdiction of the
interstate commerce commission and
to regulate express companies in other
ways.
The pamphlet has also been sent to
members of the United States senate
and house CT representatives with an
appeal to have the necessary lcgisla-
tion enacted.
The extension of the parcel post sys-
tenn as proposed would deprive the eX-
press companies of nearly half their
revenue, as they could not compete
with the postal rates.

GERMANY'S APPLE CROP.
So Small That Even Cider Apples
Command Three Times the
Usual Price.

Germany is about to have an apple
crop smaller in quantity and poorer
in quality than has been gathered in
recent years, according to United
States Consul-General Frank Mason, at
Frankfort, Cider apples this year
command three times the usual price,
he says, and no cider will be made out
side of Wurtemburg. Even cooking ap-
pies of an inferior grade are now sell
ing in Frankfort for from eight to
nine cents per pound. This deficiency
is said to extend more or less generally
to France, the Tyrol, bohemia and
northern Italy, so the conditions IA
yor a large importation of American
apples, though whether this will De
practicable or not will depend upon
first, the supply in the United States
and, second, the spirit in which the
German officials enforce the inspec-
ton law.
Mr.. Mason believes, in view of the nm
certainty of the trade, that the future
development will be more in the direc
ton of dried and preserved fruits than
fresh fruits imported from the United
States.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Many of the JOURNAL subscribers
have requested that their subscription
account be. presented each year, as it is
much more convenient to pay one dol
lnr than to wait until the amount
reaches higher figure. We have
decided to notify each subscriber regu-
larly every year and continue doing so
until accounts are paid. We believe
everyone who really wants the JOUR-
NAL is willing to pay for it and that
those who don't pay don't want the
paper. The accounts have been placed
in the hands of John Lally, who
has been connected with the JOURNAL
for several years and is authorized to
make settlement of all accounts. No
person need walt TO consult the editor
as Mr.. Lally's receipt is sufficient, and
his statement of accounts is correct.

1T PROVES A SUCCESS
Flying Machine That Flies Tested
at St Joseph, Mich,
Prof. a. NJ. Herring Satisfied with His
EirHt Expcrimcnt-nciicvc His
Mnchinc VIII Solve Aerial
Navigation.

Prof. A. NJ. Herring, who has been
the past summer working upon the
experiment of n flying machine at St.
Joseph, Mich, has made n second sue
cessful test of his power-driven flying
machine, on which he succeeded in
making n fight of upward of 10 feet
against n strong westerly wind. The
machine consists of two superimposed,
arched, supporting surfaces about 1s
feet from tip to tip, and Sc inches wide.
Even with the lower surface is small
engine, which furnishes power to two
large screw propellers. These propel
the machine at high rate of speed,
as in the trial fight 1t was able
TO advance against n wind esti-
mated at 26 miles an hour. The speed
of the machine in the trial attempted
was, by reason Of Its facing the wind,
remarkably slow. During the fight,
which lasted some eight or ten Sec
Dnds, Prof. Ierring's feet seemed to
almost Craze the ground, while the
machine skinned along in level path
lover the beach. Prof. Herring ex-
presses himself as we'll pleased with
the result. The present machine, he
explains, was constructed merely for
experimental purposes, being designed
only for short flights, in order to work
out some of the difficulties of the
problem. He expects to continue his
work through the winter, with the
idea of constructing n machine capa-
lble of extended fight. The result of
The experiment, he says, is important,
In that ii is probably the first time in
The worlds history that machine
heavier than the air it displGces has
ever carried its operator in successful
flight. The test is of still greater
Importance, he explains, in that it has
removed nny question of the possibil-
3ty of man operating and controlling
q self-propelled machine in high winds.

The Progressive West.

1t is probable that no country has
ever invested so much spiritual, moral
and monetary capital in education,
taking into account the brevity of its
history, as the west; it has done far
more for its intellectual life than the
east did in the same number of years,
says Hamilton w. Mabie in Atlantic.
1t is in fact repeating the history of
the east; for it is eagerly assimilating
the experience of the race, expressed
in its thought, its art and its history
This is the impulse behind the passion
for knowledge; the instructive desire
to know what the race knows. and then
to cooperate in the race life and work.
In the face ofdeclamatory declarations
of independence of the past, this in
stinct steadily asserts itself and has
it's way. Real freedom comes from
that mastery, through knowledge, oi
historic conditions and race character
which makes possible free and intel
ligent use of experience for the pur
poses of progress. This is the process
through which the west is now pass
ing, and which gives it's society {
deep and appealing interest. For out
of this movement for the clear realiza
ton in it's own consciousness of its
race relationships and Inheritance
modified by its own conditions ant
shaped By its own needs, are to come
at no distant date, its own ideals.
