The Reaper and American Pros
r.a.7 ~-,oy ~ perity.
For tens of centuries men gar
nished their harvests by hand, stoop-
ing-a score or more of them in q
small field-to snip, snip with hand
sic.es at the stalks that should yield
them bread. Behind these workers
came others, laboriously binding the
grain into sheaves. And every
bushel required in the gathering
three hours of a mans time. ''-
7. Then came the reaper-and to-
day. q leviathan bites a twelve foot
roadway through the grain with its
sharp teeth and ties the sheaves
with its steel fingers. Four strong
horses may be needed to move it
this giant machine-but in all the
great yellow field is no human being
save the man who sits comfortably
on the harvester, driving. Or it
may be a woman or even a child.
And in seventy-six years the reaper
has reduced the time-price Of har-
vesting to ten minutes bushel A
gain Of two hours and fifty minutes
for every bushel of wheat and re-
lease to other Industries of nine Ia
borers in ten. Or even a larger
number, for in the far West there
are harvesters that do more work in
in day than twenty laborers using
the sickle big and swifter brother,
the scythe.
Translated, this means primarily,
vastly more wheat. Tha. is sim
pie matter of mathematics, prob-
lem too obvious to require state>
ment. It means for America the
development of the magnificent
grain lands of the West, where
three States-Minnesota and the
Dakotas-today produce enough
wheat to feed all the people Of Eng.
land. 1t means the New Farmer
and the wonders Of scientific agri-
culture. It means great cities with
gigantic mills, and manufactures
that create new wealth at the rate
of sixteen billions year. It means
American prosperity.-Herbert n.

for the Green Room Club which recent
~ played, Much Ado About Nothing"
in ST. Johns.
The Green Room Club Of Alma col.
lege gave a fine presentation of Shake
speare's Much Ado About Nothing
Friday evening.
The play was ander the direction Of
Prof. John Quincy Adams. Every net
or showed careful training and each fit
sed their part. Miss Reta Caldwell as
Beatrics and Miss Louise Allen as Hero,
took their difficult parts in very pleas
ing manner Harry Marsh as Benedict
and Herman Morse as Claudio were a
success. Dogberry and his followers
caused much laughter. Although the
latter's parts were short and did not
seem so important as the rest, they
proved the final link necessary to COM
plete the play
The costumes were very pretty and
attractive, the play well staged and the
parts well committed. There was a
large attendance, many attending from
Lansing. On the whole it is great ac-
complishment for Prof. Adams.
