An Inventive 0snIuls. / Per
fscts Stray-Bind ding
Harvest r 81

It has long been the dream Of
harvest machine men to have agself.
binding mechanism that would
successfully bind bundles with straw
band instead Of Irvine or wire. Such
machine is now possible through the
efforts of ALI ert Izor Of indianapolis,
and the financial backing given him
by August Klefer.
Fourteen years ago the Brown
Straw Binder company was organized
in Indianapolis to experiment. on an
invention by man after whom the
company was named. Brown thought
he had the correct idea, but he failed
to work it out, and disposed Oh his
interest in the company about seven
wears ago. Albert Izor has been the
president of the company the last IL
years and has given much OF his time
and thought to the invention. It IS
due to Fl. A. Hancock's inventive
mechanical ability that the present
machine has been projected. He took
charge of the work four. years ago
and met many failures but
triumphed at last. It is a peculiar
coincidence in that 1t took fourteen
years to develop the. twlne binder
and the same time for the straw
binder.
The straw binding apparatus can
be adapted to any Of the standard
make machines, and it is said does
not make the machine any more
expenlve.
The apparatus is simple. The
straw comes on to conveyor to be
formed into a bundle as usual with
Irvine binders. After enough straw
has been received the pressure releases
a trip which starts the twlste1. Ibis
mechanism grasps enough straw to
make a rope band long enough to
encircle bundle once and half. It
takes the band from the butt end of
the bundle and does not waste any
grain. The knotter grabs the band
after it is twisted and twists the two
ends into knot. The next operation
IS by the tucker. which tucks the
twisted ends under the band. complet-
ing the operation. The knot is similar
to the one used IN binding by hand,
hut IS tighter aud more uniform. =

TAKE LIFE LIKE A MAN.

It is pltable thing to see young
man whining over his lot in life,
and excusing Indifference and mac
tion because of hard luck, or some
cruel fate which has put stumbling
blocks in his way. No matter what
your environment, or what you may
be called upon to go through, face life
like man, without whining. Turn
your face to the sun, your back to the
shadows, and look the world in the
face without whining. When you
feel gloomy and fatigued a glass of
golden grain belt beer will do wonders
in restoring you to your former self

The printers devil" was making
up his form. The paper was late and
the boy got the galleys mixed. The
first part of the obituary notice of q
pecunlous citizen had been dumped in
the form and the next handful of type
came off the galley describing a
recent fire. It read like this: THE
pail bearers lowered the. body into
the grave and it was consigned to the
flames. There were few If any
regrets, for the old wreck has been
an eyesore to the town for years. Of

TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
OF ST. CLOUD DIOCESE.

VI ~ 49, OA@OO - >AOOAASAAs
st. Cloud, Mimi, Sept. 49, -Yester-
day the Cathedral of Holy Guardian
Angels :. celebrated with Impressive
services the quarter century annlver-
sary of the diocese of st. Cloud. The
church was beautifully decorated and
the pesence of Archbishop John Ireland
of St. Paul, Bishop Trobec, Vicar
General Mgr. Nagel of St. Augusta,
Abbot Peter Engel OF Collegevllle and
a large number Of p'lests made the
occasion a memorable one. Following
the chanting of pontiical high mass
by Bishop Trobec, Archbishop Ireland
delivered sermon. He stated that he
had personal recollection of the first
church OF the diocese erected at Sank
Rapids by a missionary priest, Frances
Pierce, in 1854. In 1856 the first
Catholic church was erected in St.
Cloud by the Benedictine Fathers. To
the untlring labors of the Benedlct1nes
the archbishop attributed much OF the
growth of Stearns county. From
those humble beginnings the diocese
has grown to an organization COM
prising 131 parishes, 1876 priests and
63, 900 Catholic laymen, the largest in
Minnesota.

Marriage and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived in Atch-

good works and ge%ntleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa
tient and kind and universally ad,
mired. She married a fairly good man
and abused him within three months.
She had been good and patient for
years, but a husband was too much
for her; she had never been cross to
any one until she was cross to her
husband. There Is something about
marriage that stirs up hidden depths
of meanness on both sides.-Atchison
