TRUE LOVERS PRAYED FOR

The October American Magazine
leads off with a prayer for Cali True
Lovers" by Walter Rauschenbusch:
eve invoke thy gentlest blessings,
our Father, on all true lovers. We
praise Thee for the great longing
that draws the soul Of man and maid
together and bids them leave father
and mother and all the dear bonds
of the past to cleave to each other.
We thank thee for the revealing
power of love which divines in the
one beloved the mystic beauty and
glory of humanity. We thank thee
for the transferring power of love
which ripens and enobles our nature.
calling forth the hidden stores of
tenderness and strength in the young
and overcoming the selfishness of
childhood by the passion of self-sur-
render.
eve pray thee to make their love
strong, holy, and deathless, that no
misunderstanding may fray the
bond, and no gray disenchantment
of the years may have power to
quench the heavenly light that now
CLOVIS in them. May they early gain
wisdom to DISCERN the true value of
life, and may not tyranny of fashion
and no glamour of cheaper joys fitch
from them the peace and satisfaction
which only loyal love can give.
Grant them with sober eyes to
look beyond these sweet days of
friendship to the generations yet to
come, and to realize that the home
for which they long will be part of
the sacred tissue of the body of HUI
manity in which thou art to dwell,
that so they may reverence them
selves and drink the cup of Joy with
awe"

HARVEST DAYS IN
DAKOTA LAND.

DhhOIA LAND.
Will Chamberlain, in vermillion
Republican,:
The Indians, 80 far as we are able
to know, with a degree of certainty,
were the first Dakotah crop makers.
But as written history on the sub
ject is more or less traditional, even
as it concerns the red men, details
are lacking, and chronicles unrelia-
BILE. Possibly, during unrecorded
ages, these prairies, which we so
lately call virgin, were cleaved, year
following year, by vanished peoples,
throughout long epochs of occupa-
ton. Still, if such was the case,
times celebrating buried, or crum-
bled into dust, all evidences of pre-
historic farming, leaving the soil, as
it were, fresh and unspoiled for the
conquest of the Anglo-Saxson-s cant
Indian tillage having done little or
nothing to deplete and unfit it for
the vigorous treatment which befalls
The Rec Indians appear to have
been quite Industrious in the grow
ing of patches of coarse type of
maize or corn, which later became
the wamnaheza of the Dakota tongue.
1t is discovered that their fields were
usually in the vicinity of the larger
camps or villages of the tribes or
cults, and proximity to extensive
streams being common attribute of
location for the same. The cultivat-
cd areas were not laid out with
much regularity, the more easily
stirred sandy soils being selected by
the squaws who we're the real abor-
iginal husbandmen. While corn was
the important crop of the Rees and
Dakotahs, they also planted vines,
such az pumpkins and squashes and
very likely the first melon raisers
along tho Missouri, although we do
not know whether the vines of the
dusky female tillers were scandal
ously used for garlands and the
fruit destroyed by frisky red youths
AS is the case in more highly civil
ICED times of the whites.
At best the story of agriculture in
Dakotaland, ere the Christian farmer
came, can be related only in para
graphs of mere outline, particulars
and genesis having been lost, because
these concerned pNople whose picture

HOW THE MONTHS WIRE

Butte News: Few people know
little about the significance Of the
months and how or why they are
named as they are.
It was in September. said the
Gaelic Highlanders of Scotland, that
God, created peace. and "Fiona Mac
lead" tells this wondrous tale of
Christ as a shepherd and of the
months as lost sheep on the hills OF
time:
The shepherd gathered them one
by one and led them to the fold;
but, before the fold was reached a
great wind of snow came down and a
wild flood arose, and on the narrow
path there was room only, and that
hardly, for the shepherd, so he
looked to- see which one of the
twelve he might perchance save. He
looked long, for all were the chill
dren of his father. Then he lifted
September, saying: Given so, be-
cause thou are the month of fulfill
ment, and because thy secret name
is Peace" But the shepherd went
back between the wild lips of food
and tempest and brought June, say
ing: Because thy secret name is
Joy" One by one, he brought each
to the fold, saying: MAY, because
thy secret name is Love-" "April,
because thou art made of tears and
laughter" July, because thou art
Beauty" August, thou uiet moth
~er!" October, because thy name is
Content" March, because thy name
is strife;" February, because thy
name is Hope" November, be-
cause thy name is Silence" "Janu-
airy, because thou are DEATH" and

SUBSTITUTE FOR LINsEED OIL

Consul general at Singapore re-
ports that the plantation rubber tree
of the Malay states has developed an
other industrial use, as important
commercially as any of it's heretofore
recognized applications.
Scientific Investigation of the seed
of the tree he says has disclosed the
fact that it yields an oil equal in
quality to the best of linseed oil and
commensurate in commercial value
to the finest grades of cotton seed
ell.
This discovery he prophesies will
create an entirely new market for
this product of the tree which has
given such new impetus within the
last few years to the industrial life
of East India. Heretofore the seeds
of the tree have been used exclusive
ly in local propagation and in supply
ing the demands from other parts of
the world. Thousands of them have
been shipped to British Guiana,
where the colonial office is encourag-
ing the cultivation of rubber on an
extensive scale with view to dupli-
cati1g there the success achieved in
the Malay states. Ninety million
trees have already been planted in
The latter place and large number
in the former. When the acreage laid
out. for development is improved,
Mr.. Du Bots says there will be = sur
plus of the seeds. The discovery that
they have a distinct value. indepen-
dent of their use for propagation he
says will add greatly to the revenue
Of the plantations raising this COM
medity and give to the world new
and prosperous industry.
In purchasing new machinery and
,-emodeling old machinery the consul
general suggests that plantation
owners recognize the needs of this
sndustry and prepare to take advant-
aga OF it at the earliest possible mo-
neat.
The residue of the seeds after the
oil has been crushed out of them
will be suitable for feeding cattle
and Is fertilizer, thus still further
augneuting the wealth producing
capacity of the rubber trees.

With reds that burn and glow;
With gold and brown and russell,
The lofty hillsides show.
With greens that shade to crinsOn
With browns that melt in gold,

With colors faint or bold.
She filings aloft her banner
On every maple tree;
The dewberry and woedbine
Reflect it faithfully.
From out her treasure houses

NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORL1

Wages in Brazille and Chill aver
age 80 cents per day
Europe is far ahead of the United
States in providing pensions for civil
employees.
A Union mems grocery store was
opened in the Labor Temple, at Los
Angeles, Calf, recently.
The convention of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers will meet
in Birmingham, Ala, Oct. - to Is.
The National Sailors and Fire
mems union of England complains
that the ship owners refuse to agree
to the establishment of a concilia-
ton board.
In the boot and shoe trades, with
1892 workers the average weekly
wage is 1876. Men over 16 receive
$9.11; women, 1913; children under
16, $40.
The Arkansas state federation of
labor is active in urging upon the
people of that state an amendment
to the constitution providing for the
initiative and referendum.
Comparing the deaths in the coal
mines of the United States in the
last ten years with those of Belgium
in the same period, it is shown that
1858 lives would have been saved
in this country if the United States
had Belgium's death rate.
The trade unions in England are
much embarrassed by the fact that
the law does not permit them to use
their funds for political purposes,
and they are putting pressure on
ministers to bring in bill to legal
ize such proceedings.
This country is far behind Eruope
In the matter of employers liabil-
ity. Every man in England has to
pay damages for an injury that is
suffered by his employees in the line
of duty, and employers generally in
sure against the risk in various COM
panies.
The executive board of the Jour-
neyman BARRIERS international union
of America has increased it's regu-
lar organizing staff from one to five.
A more thorough effort is to be made
to organize the craft in all parts of
the country in the near future.
There are now only $4,000 lace
makers in Belgium, as compared
with 10000 in the year 1875. The
maximum wages paid to the most
skillful lace makers never exceed 80
cents day, and out of $500 work
ers only about twenty are paid the
maximum.
The American Federation Of Labor
which is organizing the sugar re-
finery employees, has just issued
charters to newly formed unions with
a total membership of about one
thousand men. The refinery work.
ers are endeavoring to obtain a min
imum wage scale of Is cents an
hour.
In 1900 Belgium adopted what is
called an insurance annuity and ma
tionally sustained pension act. I'm
der 1t annuities are granted accord
ing to age and amount Of premium
paid. Pensions are paid to all over
sixty-five years under certain pre-
scribed conditions of want and dis
ability.

MARKET LETTER.

The week opened with quite
sharp decline in killing cattle owing
to liberal receipts. Later under a
tighter marketing and a strong de-
mand, the loss was mostly regained.
The run this week has again been
chiefly in grassers. From 1885 20
$3.50 is being paid for grass cows
and heifers; Gamers and thin cows,
$3.50 to 1925; veal calves $3.50 10

But the Yankee

and the Americanized foreigner. who
braved western conditions which Of
ten demanded SO much of fortitude
and patience, was not and still is
not always a wise cultivator. Vast
areas of land invite extensive but ne
glectful tillage, and so it is known
that our fathers who settled in Da-
kota territory in the eos and '7Os
and early SOS, reverently dedicating
these valleys and uplands to Ceres
and auxiliary dieties of pome and
grain, set examples of waste and un-
|frugality for which penance is now
being sought in congresses of conser-
walton. 1t would be useles as we'll
as improper to write these words in
harsh criticism. but it should ever be
Ia precept of pride in a son to profit
by the errors and mistakes of his
sire, and not to do so bespeaks his
own lack of progressiveness.
To particularize the pioneer Dako-
tan got rid Of his numbering straw
piles by the simple and magical ap-
plication of the match. Today he
spreads the straw back on the fields
frim which 1t was gardener that his
farm may be enriched thereby. Like
wise in the past, the cornstalks were
gotten out of the way by cutting and
raking and the use of fire. With a
deep delving pillow the stalks are to-
day turned under to decay and there
by sustain the loan from which they
drew their substance.
The rotation of crops for the pur-
pose of preserving and resting the
fields devoted to agriculture, had
small place in the minds and the
plans of those who undertook the
subjugation of southeastern South.
Dakota and northwestern Iowa of
similar agricultural experience.
What shall the harvest be? is not
answered by some alchemy, as was
believed in days not entirely ancient.
Intelligent potato planting is not
governed by the moon phases and
never was SO controlled. The Penn
sylvania Dutchman who had piously
transplanted his cabbages on a fixed
day of the week, is without honor
among Dakota farmers. There is a
higher court; one wherein appeal is
made to reason, rather than to fetch
or superstition; one wherein the law
and the why are soon to decide
what the harvest of ten or twenty
seasons to come shall be. The labor
OF maintenance and preparation are
in the hands which guide the plows
and shape the burrows of 1910.
Shall we not rise to the invitations
OF clearer dawn and reap in mater
lalized vision what so long was gath
cred in blindness and crudeness?
Under the inspiring admonition of
conservation, shall we not welcome
the new thought, making all our
dealings with natures divine and
comforting bosom such as would be
vouchsafed a sacred mother?
There are physical as we'll as NOR
al sins. To grow a shapely ear where
before grew nubbin, and constantly
cheer the earth from which it issued
bespeak a gospel of harvest of which
human calculation can forsee no end.
