us look on the reform that we are just
now commencing in our schools. IL IT
not strange that for centuries the
whole world, not only the United
States. in it's public school systems
thought that the only thing worth
considering in the boy or girl was
brains. Just as if they didn't have
any hands. This went on for cen
turtles and it is only about ten years
ago and maybe less that the idea be-
came common that If we let the hands
sleep they will soon be able to do
nothing but tie the necktie or button
our collars and there is danger OF our
hands becoming atrophied. Now, how
ever, the sentiment has become so
well established that most all live cit
les have manual training departments
in their schools. There is public
confession of the fact that we must
return to a more natural way of liv-
ing, a more--Well natural is good

and applause) l thought / could bet
ter 1t but | guess L can't. In the
northwest we have been so far farm
ing absolutely as a matter of mater
ialiSm and the real home thought in
connection with the farm we have not
as yet discovered. Do you know in
the old country the farms have in
dividual names? Here in this country
our farms are all known by numbers
just like No. 1877 or No 1876, in the
Bismarck penitentiary. All the
thought we have in it is simply the
amount Of dollars we can get out OF
1t, so as to get enough together to
move to town. You cannot work ev-

In a socialistic way that we establish
baby homes so the mothers can bring
their babies there and pay so much to
rear them, and then they can use their
time for more profitable work, better
suited to their ability. Now thar
sounds well from an economical
but what kind of a baby
crop do you think we would get from
a system like that deprived of that
most of all ennobling influence, a
mothers love? (Applause) What
has that to do with farming? / know
some of you will say that we have
done enough for the farm we have
invented binders and steam plows and
gasoline plows and everything else:
but we must have something besides
that. We must have a soul in our
work and not only power and iron and
steel. You will say that the farm has
no soul and the baby has. That Is
perhaps so; l don't know about that;
but will tell you what l do believe:
believe that a good, wholesome, in
iustrious life on a farm can grow
souls into men and women. That is |
what l believe. And that is the kind |

Water Under Deserts.

Some of the most curious phenomena
of the world are the underground wa
ter supplies beneath deserts. In the
Rajputana deserts water is held in
vast quantities in sandstone beds un
der the scOrched surface and is dra wD
up from wells sunk into the strata.

of a weary. almost rainless waste of
sand and depends on these hidden els.
terms for it's very existence. Whence
it comes, where is the outfall and what
quantity runs under the baked sand
remain a mystery. In one well at
Bikaner it has been ascertained that
the water supply is equal to 10000 gal
Ions an hour which is held to point to
the conclusion that there is an enor-
nous subterranean flow and that the
snow fed rivers of the Himalayas must
be the source. People in Bikaner say
that pieces of wood dropped into one

idea of an underground river opens up

$.H ~. ticaIIy Useless.

49, ticaIIy Useless.
Most persons will be surprised to
learn that the typewriting machine is
not, as they imagine. distinctly mod
ern invention. So long ago as 1714 a
patent was taken out in England by
Henry Mill for "a machine for i'm
pressing letters singly and progressive
ly as in writing, whereby all writings
may be engrossed in paper so exact as
not to be distinguished from print
His machine was, however, clumsy
one and practically useless. 1t was
not until over century later 1920
that anything more in this line was
attempted Then the first American
typewriter, called PHOTOGRAPHER" was
patented by W. A. Burt
In 1923 a machine was produced in
France having a separate key lever
for each letter, and between the years
1910 and 1860 Sir Charles Milestone
invented several machines which are
now preserved in the South Kensing-
ton museum, London.
In 1873 G. L. Sholes, an American,
after five or six years work, succeed
ed in producing a machine sufficiently
perfect to warrant extensive manu-
facture. He interested a firm of gun
manufacturers in it, and in 1874 the
first model of the modern typewriter
was put upon the market.-Cincinnatl
