MeVex,s Cottage RuraIarizsd.

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. s.-Pres.
F. L. Mcvey of the university is spend
ing the day at Bemidji looking into the
matter of the burglarizing of his cot
tage. Word was received here last
night Of the burglary and it is quite
likely that the officials there will give
the deal a thorough investigation.
The Merrifeld cottage, as it has
been formerly called, is one Of the
largest at Grand Forks bay and con-
siderable furniture and utensils of
value was left there for the winter.
About twenty Grand Forks people have
cottages at the bay and much concern
Is felt over the marauding as goods
Of considerable value is generally left
there instead of being taken home
1t is quite likely that President Nc
Vey will take means Of insuring the
safety of all the cottages so the local
people can rest easily. He will prob
ably return tomorrow morning.

August 10.
JAMES NASMITH,

James Nasmith, one of the greatest
of the many great inventors born in
Scotland, made his first appearance in
Edinburgh 101 years ago today. The
steam hammer was his greatest inven-
ton. and it made his name famous
throughout the world. He died in
South Kensington, England, in 1890.
James Nasmith was 10th in a family
of II children. His father was
Scotch landscape painter of consider
able repute, but James did not inherit
the taste for brush and easel At a
very early age he gave abundant evil
dence of his trend toward mechanical
pursuits. At boy it was hard to find
him at any time without some kind of
tool in his hand. The very first child
of his inventive brain was brought
forth when he was scarcely II. It was
a small engine. which he had con-
structed for grinding his fathers
OUT under the most unfavorable condi-
tons and with the crudest sort of
tools.
The list of James Nasmith's inven-
tons is long one, among which may
be mentioned, as most prominent his
safety foundry ladle, suction fan fer

reversible rolling mill which dis
penses with the fiy-wheel and at the
same time handles enormous plates:
and bars of iron and steel, a steam
engine adapted for screw steamships,
but the steam hammer is the corner
stone of his fame.

shaft with which to squip her, and
quickly saw the necessity of some
method of forging other than any
hitherto employed He put in motion
his inventive mind and in one-half
hour he had mapped out the whole
contrivance in all it's intricate detail.
The result was the steam hammer.
Mr.. Nasmith did not at once recog-
nize the value of his invention for
other uses and it was neglected until
a Frenchman constructed one and he
saw it in service. He at once patented

are depicted everything from slap
stock comedies to sobby sentimentali-

can farmer the uplift in the drama via
the motion picture route-not by any

ter.ng the fed because far-sighted
Unc.e "Tama Jim" Wilson, secretary
of agriculture, believes he can by it's
al bring heme to the farmers Of the
country the necessity for modern
methods in agriculture.
1t has always been hard to make
the farmers of the country understand
from mere description how to handle
their crops in this new era of agricul-
ture The average man on the farm
doesn't take kindly to advice he hears
or reads-he wants visual proof of the
soundness of things. He sticks to the
old ways until he actually sees the adj
vantage of the new.
1t is for this reason that the depart
ment is now adopting the motion pic
ture machine to educate the farmer.
Films will be made at the various eX
pertinent stations throughout the count
try showing the new order Of things
in the way of preparing the land,
planting, cultivating. harvesting and
handling of the crop, how to make
road, how to breed cattle, horses.
sheep, and farm animals, and the thou
sand and one tasks that occupy farm
ers. BY exhibiting these films at pop
ular meetings of farmers all over the
country, the department hopes to give
that the old order changeth. giving
place to new, and that the new agricu,-
ture means better crops, better farms,
better roads, and better animals.
A cooperative arrangement is now in
formation, whereby the department
will send it's moving picture taking
machine to the various experiment sta
tons throughout the country and there
photograph the operations on these
model farms. The films will be devel-
oped at Washington, and duplicates
will be furnished to such of the farm
ers' rganizations as desire them, for
exhibit at agricultural meetings-the
experimental farms. state Institutes,
and other semi governmental agencies
owning the machines which reproduce
the films
In this way the department of agri-
culture will soon be sort of clearing
house of films on agricultural sub
jects-a sort of moving picture syndi-
cate. which viii produce and distri-
butte films for exhibition among farm
ers all over the country. Then too.
the Farmers Institutes in the several
states will. become subsidiary distri-
huting points for reels.
It is brand new idea in the cam
paign which the department has been
waging for years to educate the farm
er. Not only that, but it is a brand
