Thg SEWING MACHINE.
unsucccssfri Inventions That Pre-
cedcd 'sowe's Patent In 1s46.

unsuccrssfri Inventions That Pre-
cedcd loves Patent In 1915.
The technical beginning OF the sew
ing machine industry in this country
was Sept. 10, 1s46. when elias Howe,
Jr. obtained patent FOR what grew
into the Grst really practical sewing
machine Only three OF the first Howe
machines were made, however, and
one OF thepe was deposited in the pat
ent Office In Washington as a model.
1t was not until after 1850 that fac
tory for the making of sewing ma
chimes was built, 50 the enormous busi-
ness of today has grown up IN short
half century.
While Howe's invention marked the
beginning of a successful industry, he
was by no means the pioneer In ef-
forts to substitute mechanical for hand
sewing. AS far back as ITO Thomas
Alsop patented In England a machine
for embroidering. Another machine
for embroidering in loom was invent.
ed by John Duncan in 1904, and twen-
ty-ive years later another Englishman
named Heilman patented still another
embroidering machine
The tlrst recorded attempt at me
caanical sewing was the i-ivention OF
Thomas Saint, who took out a patent
In England in 100 for machine which
executed the old crochet stitch. 1t
was not a success, but some of the
features Of the Saint machine appear
In the perfected machine Of today.
Bartholemy Thimonnier patented in
France in 1890 the frat sewing ma
chine put to practical use. Eighty of
his machines were In use for sewing
army clothing I'm 1S41, when a mob de-
stroyed them because convinced they
would drive seamstresses out of en-
ployment. Thimonnier built new and
better machines, but all his work was
again destroyed by angry artisans in
1S4S
John ]. Greenough took out the first
patent for a sewing machine issued in
the United States in 1S42. 1t was in
tended to sew leather, but was of no
practical use
Walter Hunt of New York built
sewing machine In 1884, but failed TO
protect it by a patent. After Howe's
machine appeared Hunt declared it
embodied the ideas of mis- machine OF
1884. but he was unable to establish
his claim.
A small army of inventors appeared
after 3/ye's patent had proved sue.
cessful. and their genius was devoted
to perfecting every part Of the ma
chine. How well they have succeeded
is shown in the $500 patents for sew
ing machines and attachments issued
by the United States since 1850 and in
the fact that the American sewing ma
chine leads all others in every country
In the world.--Eew York Herald.

NOT ENOUGH WHEAT RAISED
Production Not Keeping Pace With In.
creasing Population and
Consumption.

W. T. Baker in Record-Herald:
From the outset have believed that the esti-
mates on this crop were exaggerated. have
thought, too, that the crop was impaired in the
fall by the hessian fly, and am convinced now
the prospect was reduced by the freeze of early
May. Cold weather never diseloses itself on a
wheat crop until harvest. 1t does not injure the
blade, but it does occasionally kill the germ.
I am convinced we are to have this year good
foreign demand and possibly the best we have
ever had. I am disposed to agree, too, with
some very good men in the trade that the con.
sumption Of wheat in the world has overtaken
and possibly passed supplies.
We have had period of almost thirty years
since the breaking Of the wheat land in the
northwest in the sixties, during which wheat
supplies have been increasing and short seller,
have been almost uninterrupted money makers
But the signs are there is to be period now Of
the other sort, brought about by increased popu
lation. by wheat land abandonment and by Other
causes.
II this is true, it is really the most important
feature of the price making, and ought to bt
borne In mind In the forming Of price thee
