Our Sub-Arid Belt.

The debatable land between our arid and
humid regions has mean width OF about
200 miles and includes the central parts
Of North and South Dakota, and the west
ern parts OF Nebraska and Kansas. The
soil Is a rich, brown loan, and few parts OF
the country would be more productive IL
the region had few more inches OF rain
every year. 1t was to these lands in Kan
sas and Nebraska that many thousands Of
farmers were lured, some twelve or fifteen
years ago, by two seasons Of more than av-
erage rainfall resulting in excellent crops.
They fingered in this thirsty region for sew
eral years till they had learned the bitter
fact that dryness was its normal state and
that they must go elsewhere to make a
living The hegira Of drought sufferers
from the two States numbered over 2oO,-
900 persons
1t seemed as though this sub-arid region
might then revert to its former condition
when 1t was used only for stock ranges.
But those who remained there or have since
settled in the country have been working
for years to see II they cannot save a con-
siderable part OF the land for agriculture.
It is to their advantage that u good deal
less water Is required for irrigation than in
the more arid regions to the west. The
development Of irrigation In the sub-arid
belt has been particularly active in the past
i've years and the whole country Is inter-
ested In the efforts now making to keep the
central counties OF the Dakotas and west
Nebraska and Kansas available for farmers
instead OF relapsing wholly into grazing
lands for range cattle.
In North and South Dakota the growth
of irrigation has depended mainly upon
the boring OF artesian wells. For some
years our Geological Survey has been
studying the water-bearing formation
known as the Dakota sandstones which
extends under large part OF the two
States and has already yielded much wealth
to the Dakotas through the water derived
from 1t. 1t Is vast artesian basin, and
most biologists say it Is replenished by
the rivers that flow over the formation and
the rainfall on the mountains and foothills
that limit the basin to the west Prof.
WHITNEY. however writing In 1894,
thought 1t probable that these artesian
waters were stored at former period of
time, when tho precipitation was greater
than at present However this may be,
and whether or not the supply Is liable to
complete exhaustion, there is no doubt OF
lbs immense present utility. II the COM
mon view as to the source Of the waters ia
correct, there is no doubt that properly
husbanded, these artesian supplies will be
perpetual. life-giving resource through
out large part II not all OF the northern
half Of our sub-arid belt.
These wells. now numbering 1.2Oo to
1900. as nearly as can be estimated from
the latest reports, afford the water supply
for many towns and for great number Of
farms. Many townships have incurred
debt to sink the wells and farmers have
combined for the same purpose and shared
the water product The depth OF the wells

Whatever runs up against The Sun Is sure to
get shaking up. whether II be a Democratic
contemporary or the National Typographical
Union. This latter organization tried to run
things In TUE Sun office with high hand. and
not succeeding to its satisfaction It ordered out
all the printers. typesetting machine operators
and others In the establishment over whom 1t
had any authority. This was done late one
night. but THE BUN was not to be left in the
luroh and the next mornings issue appeared

From the Vandererut Citizen.
The Typographical Union undertook TO run
the management OF the NEW YORK SUM- but In
their attem pit they ran against snag. with the
almost invarinble result that several old en-
ployes are out OF good Jobs for which they have
always received the highest rates paid for SIM

but In this case they have permitted the per-
nicious walking delegate to make ridiculous

From he Woodbury. Reporter.
The spirit OF independence displayed by THE
Sun is magnificent. A representative Of the
Typographical Union ordered out the men
who had done faithful work on THE SUN for
many years. because THE SUN refused to grant
the demands OF the Union. THE SUN never
missed an issue. but secured new help and
went on as though never a cloud had cast q
shadow over the brightness of it's shining.

Between the ages of fifteen and
forty five, the time when woman
hood begins and motherhood ends,
it is estimated that the aggregate
term of woman's suffering is ten
years. Ten years out of thirty :!
One third of the best part of a
woman's life sacrificed! Think of
the enormous loss of time! But
time is not all that Is lost. Those
years of suffering steal the bloom
from the cheeks, the brightness
from the eyes, the fairness from
the form. They write their rec
ord In many a crease and wrinkle.
What boon then to woman, is

Using Our Talents Rightly

1t does not matter so much
about the greatness OF our talents
as the way in which we Use them.
People with very infirm talents
sometimes accomplish better
work In the world than others
possessing brilliant attalnnents
in certain lines of intellectual
power.
Talents themselves amount to
but little unless put into action
with purpose to make the most
of them in the right way. Then
they become a power for good
and shine out in beauty and
brightness.
Two young men seemed to pos
sess a great talent for oratory,
and both wanted to make the
most of their talents. One went
into the ministry, the other upon
the stage. The one became an
eloquent preacher, who won
many to Christ; the other, a
comic impersonator, whose call
Ing led him into temptation which
was his ruin. Thus 1T Is with
| thousands.
Then let us use our talents as
precious GIFT from God and for his
glory. Ii we employ them IN self
ish ways, the precious gold will
turn to dross and become useless.
If We neglect them, the rust and
mlldew will gather upon the
bright jewels, and they will be
furnished forever. If we give
them into the keeping of evil, the
results will be more disastrous
still, for they Will be productive
of sin instead of bearing precious
fruit. Let us keep the Jewels
bright that God has given u.s.
Christian Work.

THE ANGEL OF PEACE

To weary hearts, to mourning homes,
Gods meekest angel gently comes;
No power has he, to Danish pain,
Or give us back our lost again,
And yet, in tenderest love, our dear
And Heavenly Father sends him here.
There's quiet in that angels glance,
There's rest in his still countenance!
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourner's
ear;
But ills and woes he may not cure,
He kindly trains us to- endure.
Angel of patience! sent to calm
Our feverish brows with cooling balm;
To lay the storms of hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear,
The throbs of wounded grief to still,
And made our own our Fathers will!
Oh, thou who mournest on thy way,
With longings for the close of day,
He walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers, "Be resigned;
Bear up, bear on, the end shall tell,
The dear Lord ordereth all things wellr
