For tens of centuries men gathered
their harvest by hand, stooping-a
score or more of them in a small field
to snip, snip with hand sickles at
the stalks that should yield them
bread. Behind these workers came
others, la~boriously binding the grain
into sheaves. And every bushel re.
quired in the gathering three hours of
u mans time.
Then came the reaper-and today a
leviathan bites a l2.foot roadway
through the grain with its sharp teeth
and ties the sheaves with it's 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 q woman, or
even a child. And in rs years the
reaper has reduced the time.price oil

CONGRESS AND AlRSHIPS.

That our navy must have a corps
of airships if it is to maintain its
standing as a sea power, and that the
airship is the antidote for the sub.
marine, is the declaration of Rear
Admiral c. N. Chester of the United
States nav Admiral Chester will
ask congress to make an appropria-
ton for the new aero department of
the navy, and he will present convinc-
ing arguments in support of his plea.
This naval authority says the airship
has been adopted formally by all the
firstclass powers 10 the world except
war between Jul country and any one
of these powers we would be at q
great disadvantage by reason OF our
neglect in this matter.
So rapid has been the advancement
of the submarine vessel that it has
become part of all great naval estab.
lishments, says the Kansas City
Journal. 1t is no longer a mere SEN
sational toy, yet it was not sufficiently
developed at the time of the Russian
war to be used effectively. 1t has been
only a few years since the submarine
was considered a freak vessel of
doubtful practicability. The airship
is 0 regarded in much the same
way, though scientists say it has
passed the stages of experimentation
and must be reckoned with as a pow.
erful naval and military ally.
Professor Willis Moore, chief of
the United States weather bureau, is
another strong advocate of the air.
ship, although he considers it in re-
latiOn to commerce and economies.
1t would be found useful in explora-
tions, in the delivery Of mail and in
~forecasting weather conditions, says
the chief. The army has also many
champions of the balloon and the
dirigible gas bag as auxiliaries to the
engineering corps in making observa.
tions and directing land operations.
Thus it will be seen that the airship
is being taken very seriously. The
world seems to be on the threshold Of
an era of aerial navigation that may
be of tremendous influence upon
civilization. The arguments that
will be brought to bear on con.
gress for money to equip an air fleet
are sane and carry the authority
of the most prominent naval
experts and army engineecrs. No
estimate has been made of the amount
needed for the purpose, but as the
government has already made some
important experiments along this line
there is little doubt hat sufficient
funds will be forthcoming to build
several aerial vessels of the most APP
proved types.

Want $4,000 TeIegraphers.

CHICAGO, Feb. ll.-Managers of the
big railroads operating out of Chi
cago say that $4,000 additional tele.
graph operators will be needed by the
tr transportation systems March 4, when
the nine-hour law becomes effective.
Officers of the railways say there are
not $4,000 additional operators in the
country or any small percentage of
that number. They assert as a con.
sequence that either the government
authorities must postpone the time for

Governor Hughes arrived from Chi

with but a few Introductory words,
turned the gravel over to James o.
Murfin, chosen temporary chairman at
recent meeting of the state commit

Mr. Murfin Immediately proceeded
with short address wherein he ea-
pressed the pleasure of having Govern

RECIPE MIXED Often.
Druggists Hear Much Praise for
This simple Homemade Mix.
ture.

Some remarkable stories are be.
ing told about town and among
the country people coming in OF
this simple homemade mixture
curing rheumatism and Kidney
trouble. Here is the recipe and
directions for taking; Mix by
shaking we'll in a bottle One-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon,
three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Take as dose one
teaspoonful after meals and at
bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty Of
good water.
This mixture, writes one au-
thority in leading Philadelphia
newspaper, has a peculiar tonic
effect npon the kidneys; cleansing
the clogged-up pores of the elimi-
native tissues, forcing the kidneys
to sift and strain from the blood
the uric acid and other poisonous
waste matter, overcoming Rheu-
matism, Bladder and Urinary
troubles in q short while.
A New York druggist who has
had hundreds of calls for these in
gradients since the first announce
ment in the newspapers last Octo.
Der, stated that the people who
once try it "swear by it," espe'
cially those who have Urinary and
Kidney trouble and suffer with
Rheumatism.
The druggists in this neighbor-
hood say they can supply the in.
gradients, which are easily mixed
at home. There is said to be no
better blood-cleansing agent or
system tonic known, and certainly
none more harmless or simple to
use.
