THE SUPPLY OF AEArAENs.


There's a mighty lot OF work in store
for the, missionary yet, outside of the
work at home, which heavens knows
could keep them all busy.
The millions still unreached by the

3,25O, 900; Madura, Ball and Lombok
islands, 100000; Malay peninsula, L.
100000; total. 11S,OOO 600. In all 1888
Protestant missionary societies are at
work in foreign fields. The annual
combined contributions are s25,850, 900.
There are 5,522 ordained missionaries,
9s2 physicians. 2,50S men lay mission
aries, 5,406 married women, 4,9sS I'M

WHEAT is HIGH GRADE.

There is a silver lining Of high grade
wheat in the dark cloud Of poor crops
in North Dakota. The berry is ideal
in size and color and in many instances
the wheat is weighing from sixty three
to sixty-five pounds to the measured
bushel. Unless there is a lot of rain
threshed everything will be high grade,
b In all the poor crop stories there are
occasional GASES. From Leonard in this
county there are reports of spring
wheat that went twenty three bushels
per acre and of high grade and over
weight. Harvest is being rushed in
every. section and there is a disposi-
ton to thresh grain as rapidly as pos
[sibIe-despite the advice in some sec
I tions to stack it.
y ALI wheat that can be gotten into the
granaries without rain will go No.
I hard and No. northern. There will
be little necessity this fall for rushing
the wheat to market. The shortage in
I the tentire spring wheat belt will make
high grade grain in demand and the
prices will be better later on.
/ Some people predict $3.50 wheat
That figure is unlikely to be reached
! however desirable it would be-but the
! farmers are certain to get a good price
for what they raise because of it's high
quality and the shortage Of the crop.

1t Costs Army Officer a Lot of Money
to Learn Ponies Are Not Horses.
Chicago Post: Not long ago, because
of the value of the exercise and the
training polo was added to the curri-
culum of the West Point cadets. The
game could nSt be played without po-
MES, and so Major John M. Carson, jr.,
the academy's quartermaster, purchas-
ed the necessary animals with money
provided by the appropriation for
horses" Now trouble has come to
the quartermaster, who, by the way,
is the son Of the soldier and veteran
M. Carson, sr.
The war department authorities have
held that ponies are not horses, and
that the junior major must stand the
loss of the $3.50 which he paid out in
the interest of the cadets and the
service. A kindly government, of
course, has fixed a way by which the
major can reimburse himself and, as
he probably will be able to realize about
half what they cost, he can go the
routine route to get back the other
half
By the time Major Carson is a major
general on the retired list, some thirty
years hence, it is possible that congress
will sanction paragraph of the sun
\ dry civil or some other appropriation
| bill providing for the payment to
John M. Carson of 1915, one-half an
amount expended by him in the year
| 1910 under the mistaken idea that
| TNO mi
comes to the major in his old age
his immediate heirs will find as part
of their heritage a suit in the court OF
claims on which judgment may be
rendered in time to give their great
| grandchildren a chance to ask congress
to sanction the courts finding. In the
day of final action by the lawmakers
the majors descendants of the ninth
generation will divide among them
selves (no interest allowed) the price
Of six polo ponies.
If the academy's quartermaster is
anxious to hurry matters, he might
write for advice to Captain Conrad OF
the cavalry, who succeeded in getting
$12 out of congress after a struggle
lasting only ten years The captain
had expended that amount for the gov
eminent under the provisions of 6
long existing regulation. When the
bill went inAthe war department said
that the regulation had been revoked
but that something had happened tc
prevent the news of the revocation
from reaching the of1cers more con-
cerned.
If precedent is followed, a bill fol
to - .sVNe n
troduced in congress next winter. Their
through the long years to come there
will be debate at each session on tht
question Of how big pony has to b.
before it becomes a horse In the
meantime the cadets at West Poin
will not play polo, and FOR a few
months, at least the quartermastei
will practice economy.

isn't it shame" said Tom Riley to
Art Bowers, that people really think
more of their stomachs than they do
OF their business?" At which Mr. Bow
ers said: Explain yourself"
WE'LL said Mr.. Riley, as he stuck
his thumbs in the arm holes Of his vest
and proceeded to give a dissertation on

last Tuesday night and 'divvel a SOUL

no meeting. Thursday night the Fargo

Why? Because the officers failed to
provide food for the inner man. tell
you 1t takes something to eat to get a
man to attend a meeting of any kind.
l am surprised that you didn't attend
the Builders and Traders for wanted
to know what they did at the meeting,
but I'll bet you SO that you'll be at
the meeting where there is something
TO eat on hand. 1t is a sad commentary
on humanity that you can only get a
business man to attend TO business on
full stomach. He wouldn't think of
going to place OF meeting If he can
help 1t without something to eat. l
sometimes think that If the average
minister would advertise free ice cream
and cake served during the middle Of a
Sunday morning service he'd be sure TO
get crowd instead of having to play
to empty benches the most of the time
as they do now. I'm surprised that
you were not at the meeting
He didn't get any further, for Mr.
Bowers said as he gave Tom P. cold
stony glare, Say, don't you belong to
the B. & T.?"
i do that" said Mr.. Riley. p
well, then why in thunder didn't
you go to the meeting yourself Thurs
day night?"
"Oh, it was prayer meeting night"
and Mr.. Riley gave true Riley laugh
and walked away.
J. H. Peterson and wife Of Yakima,

country is the greatest fruit country

ing the greatest fruit in the world, in
our section. 1t is grand to look at,
and better still, it is fine to taste.
We were not bothered by any drouth
in our locality. The season is nics
because we get the ocean breeze which
is somewhat laden with dampness and
that prevents the ground at any time
from getting too dry. The yield will
this year be as good as usual and al
ready much of the apple and peach
crop has been harvested and is on its
way to the middle west and east. We
get good prices for all our products,
for it is so nice to look at that one just

GOVERNOR WAS BUSY.

r. To The Forum: I was at the fair
grounds the last day Of the state fair
. when, Governor Burke inspected the
| militia When the First Regiment
band played a patriotic air was most
\ gratified to notice the spontaniety with
which the men in the grand stand
stood UP and uncovered their heads. 1t
was inspiring.
Il regretted greatly however to note
, that Governor Burke, who was sitting
on, a horse much nearer the band than
! the grand stand, did not remove his
I hat. ] also noticed with some humil-
tiation that when the governor and the
! troops first passed the grand stand and
I were applauded the governor gave no
: recognition of the action Of the spec
: tators by raising his hat.
! Is the governor deficient in patriot
! ism or appreciation, or is he entirely
Indifferent to applause?
Humble Citizen.
The foregoing communication was
received by The Forum. No one on
this publication has a sufficiently init
mate acquaintance with the governor
| to explain the questions asked in the
concluding paragraph. The Forum does
not suppose, however that the govern.
/ or is unpatriotic, or that he is unap-
/ preciative of--or Indifferent to-the
applause of the people.
! The Forum is not sufficiently well
posted on military matters-and most
of the military folks are too far away
to get authoritative information-to
! tell whether it is the ethics of the game
for a COMMANDMENT chief of the mill
tary forces to pay any attention. either
! to the music Of the band or the APP
plause Of the multitude. In times OF
war and military inspection-and
things like that-larger things thar
music and applause are likely to COM
mand the attention of great military
heroes-like the governor.
The Forum believes, however, the
real reason for failure of the govern
or to remove his hat-when the pa.
triotic air was played or when he
passed the grand stand-was that he
was hanging onto the ropes. He was
mounted on a trained steed. The anil

SAGE FOR OAR KENING THE
HAIR.

There Is nothing new about the idea Of
using sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy BY using
'sage tea" Whenever their hair fell ont
or took on dull, faded or streaked an.
pearance, they made q brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-time,
tiresome method of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done by
skillful chemists better than we could do
It ourselves, and all we have to do Is to
call for the ready made product Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, containing sage Ia the
proper strength, with the addition Of
Sulphur, another oldtime scalp remedy.
This preparation is sold by all irst-class
druggists for SOC. and $100 q bottle. Or

GEORGIA AND PROHIBITION.

Georgia likes it's statewide prohibit
ton. 1t recently celebrated the third
anniversary Of the enactment OF the
measure. The Atlanta Georgian takes
the following view of it:
Last Saturday, July 80, the third an
niversary Of the passage Of Georgia's
statewide prohibition law was celebrat-
ed at Columbus by appropriate exer-
cises held under the auspices Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
Of that city.
The occasion was one Of rejoicing
both that the law was on the statute
books and that it had been productive
of vast good to the state.
Similar celebrations will no doubt
become annual happenings in many
parts Of the state, and such should be
the case, for the public mind is too
apt to forget the struggle it cost to
get this legislation.
1t forgets all too soon the interests
that were arrayed against it, how they
fought and what vibrant rallying cries
were necessary to concentrate the
forces for it,
Public recollection Of the conditions
prior to the law also tend to grow dim
too quickly.
Forgetfulness Of the birth struggle of
the law tends to beget a lack of appre-
Iciation Of it and of the good that It is
accomplishing day by day.
! Anniversary rejOicings such as those
that took place at Columbus will bring
it and its advantages back to public
| consciousness and will cause it's
friends to swear renewed allegiance
to it.
The law has not stopped drinking,
but it has lessened it, particularly the
disorderly kind.
1t has not ended crime, but has pre-
vented a lot of 1t.
! And it has fed wives and children
and prevented many of them from be-
coming widows and orphans.
In the aggregate it has added tre-
mendously to the peace and quiet Of
the state.
Economy, wealth and happiness have
been it's products.
1t is worth celebrating.
Year after year will witness better
enforcement of it, and from time to
time, as is required, 1t will be strength
ened and made more effective.
Bought with a struggle, it must nee
essarily be enforced with a struggle,
maintained with a struggle and per-
fected with a struggle.
Notwithstanding some temporary set
backs, the prohibition sentiment is
spreading all over the nation.
A recent census report on the stat
istics Of cities for the year 1908 shows
that drinking places decreased by near
ly 5000 in three years.
| This decrease" says the report,
was not confined to any section of the
country, but is apparent In every group
of states except in certain Of the Rocky
Mountain states. The decrease has
been most marked In the cities of the
South Atlantic states"
Meaning so much, 1t Is entirely beflt-
ting that the prohibition law be cher
ished and defended.

mad had precipitated the governor into
the lime light earlier In the PROCEEDINGS
by doing backward waltz over the
paddock--to the merrfment OF the spec
tators. Perhaps the governor thought
1t was up to him to pay more atten-
ton to the equine and less to the music
and the people.
