BeardIess Soldiers.

Modern warriors generally wear hair
on their frontispieces. 1t is thought to
give them martial appearance. But
Alexander's invincible soldiers were all
bare faced. He compelled them to
shave for sufficient reason-viz, lest
the ''outside barbarians" of Asia should
seize them by their boards and so cap

two years ago that a wireless tele-
graph message was accomplished under
certain conditions by a peculiar yet
distinctive buzzing sound There had
been theories a-plenty before this time,
many of which had been worked out
automatically by DR.. deForest. John
Stone and others. Many experiments
had been made with induction tele-
phones without success at any distance
beyond possibly one mile, and to at
tain even this result with an induction
phone was difficult, unreliable and en-
tailed the use of cumbersome apparatus
DR.. de Forest, catching the distinctive
hum of the antenna wires, found the
solution and he at onee began expert
menting on the development of intel
|ligible sound through the raves of
ether. The principal he already knew,
but to evolve a practical apparatus from
the wealth of theoretical knowledge
has been the work of many months in
his laboratory, assisted by experts of
known standing on both sides of the
ocean.

DAWN OF THE NEW ERA.

The session of the National Mining
Congress, which will onven at Gold.
field on September 81, marks the dawn
of a new era in Nevada mining de.
velopment.
Admittedly the richest mineral sec
tion of the world, Nevada's resources
have barely been touched, owing to
lack of publicity. But the golden op
portunity is at hand. The board Of
mining congress commissioners have
sent a representative through the state
in the person of Charles W.. Kapp,
n of Goldfeld's leading business
men, who is urging upon mining men
and leading citizens the Importance of
having proper exhibits in place at the
congress.
If Mr.. Kapp's advice is followed,
Nevada will soon come into its own by
being generally recognized as the great
est mining center of the world.

THE DRY FARMING CONGRESS

The Dry Farming congress is now
organized, with some persistency and
determination to be heard from in the
matter of urging its claims upon the at
t~ention of the public. The faith that
the promoters and operators of this as
ISOLATION have in their claims of dry
farming methods, well carried out, can
not be questioned, says the editor of
the Twentieth Century Farmer. The
experiences and results of careful and
persistent wor in erop-growing efforts
are the evidence that is offered in tes-
timony of the feasibility of dry farm
ing methods and dry farming as an in
dustry.
1t is not surprising that there are
the doubtful, the skeptical, the unbe-
!. liever in converting the dry land of the
arid west to agricultural purposes, the
growing of crops, the cultivation of
orchards and forests, the establishing
of homes and the building up of com
mercial interests and industries on
these lands; we say that it is not sur
prising that some hesitate, that they
doubt the availability of sufficient
moisture to grow crops; that they fore
cast seasons of drouth, etc. All these
things had their period and AVE e
erted their influence to discourage and
prejudice the mini of the public as
49, R Al. 1.-k- L.- -.
crossed westward for the last fifty
years, and yet cultivation has been the
civilizing influence that has conquered
drouth, hot winds and the barrenness
of the plains and prairie countries that
are now the dependence in production.
The Fourth Dry Farming congress
will hold it's meeting at Billings, Mon
tana, October 26, 81 and %, 1909. This
will not only be an institute for drv
farming farmers and dry farming in
structors and teachers, but it will be
an exposition of dry farming products
such as this or no other country has
ever witnessed. There are pledged al
ready exhibits from thirteen western
states that are engaged in dry farming
work. The organization by states, to
show what each is doing and capable
Of doing in the raising of grain and
vegetable crops, without irrigation, is
a feature never before undertaken in
this district and promises some great
surprises for visitors.
The area of tillable lands in the
United States not yet turned to Guilt
walton is comparatively small, and I'm
der present conditions of demand by
more years at most. 1t is only the
part of good business judgment that
the dry farming districts be investi-
gated by those who contemplate get
ting a home under the free homestead
law. Good lands and the best loca
tions will be the first taken. Each
year will reduce the quantity of lands
TO be disposed of as government home
steads.
The Dry Farming congress will be
a good place to visit mex October. In
view of getting dry farming informa-
tion and dry farms on which to put it
into practice. The Dry Farming con-
gress announces that there are 200,-
900, 900 acres of arabic land awaiting
development by the dry farming
methods.

principal associates have been held in
Dallas, Port Arthur, Houston and other
cities within the last thirty days.
