The combined machines will cut and
thresh from thirty-fve to seventy-five
acres each per day. Frank Strouf,
the big Denton grain-grower, who has
a crop of four thousand acres OF
wheat to handle, has combined har-
vester with forty foot sickle bar and
with which he expects to cut and
thresh more than one hundred acres
Of wheat daily by working two shifts.
These huge machines, which are the
last word in harvesting implements,
are drawn by big steam or gasoline
engines and require a force of from
five to seven men each to operate
them.
Some Immense Crops.
During the past week, the editor of
the Democrat has driven over a large
portion of the Judith Basin in an auto
and the claims of bumper crop are
certainly well founded. There are
thousands of acres which will yield
better than thirty bushels per acre
and many fields which will easily go
from forty to fifty bushels. There is
every reason to believe that the aver
age yield of winter wheat will be
thirty bushels per acre throughout the
Basin. In some sections, the spring
grain is short, but rains Of the past
week have helped immensely and
there will be some good yields Of this
variety Of grain. The flax crop is un-
usually well advanced and there will
be some big oats harvested. The hay
crop was never finer.
Prices.
At present, the local wheat market
is from 70 to 73 cents per bushel
There is a general feeling that the
price will advance, although just what
effect the passage Of the Canadian
reciprocity bill will have is not yet
known. With big shortage in the
Mississippi valley wheat states, there
appears to be reason for the belief
that the market will strengthen when
the full effects of the dry weather In
those states is realized.

eral military maneuvers.
Company d made fine impression
and demonstrated that they have
been taking an interest, working hard
and receiving expert instruction In
military tactics. The encampment af-
forded them some excellent expert
ence, which will come In mighty
handy If the occasion ever arises for
them to put their knowledge of tactics
to practical use.
Company d was In charge of Capt.

STORY OF JAPANESE GOWNS
Interesting Facts Concerning the
Origin of Garments Worn in the
Island Empire.

Nearly every woman nowadays
chcrishes Japanese gown for house
wear without realizing how interest
ing garment it is The sleeves them
selves have a curious history. From
the middle of the sixteenth century
they began to increase in length, and,
especially those for young ladies, have
extended til now they are from three
to four feet This style, Known as
furisode, became 0ery fashionable.
The width of the obi. or sash, hns
also varied at first from two and a
half to three and a half inches, ana
TO six. seven. eight and nine inches
II Is interesting to note that our
own new fashions in sleeves and
sashee originated among the common
people Of Japan, ana from them were
finally adopted By the upper classes.
The young ladies Of the Samuri class
were the first 10 follow the popular
STYLES in this respect, and the higher
classes began TO follow suit. until now
these fashions prevail everywhere.
IL 10 olty IAOhl "NVHt INC IAIuu4S VI
the seventh century that the women
Of the lower Classes began TO wear,
the long haori or oyercoat, ct present
so common among al classes of both
sexes. This garment was originally a
duster worn by men to protect their
clothes when outdoors, and was then
called dofgku, or travelling coat
Finally they came to be worn in
doors. and the women adopted the
garment The UPPER classes in time
followed the same custom, and now
the haori is an indispensable part OF
the clothing to be worn on formal oc-
casionT, even in summer.

IMMORTALITY DENIED.

The scientific consideration Of

to action and the Joy of doing.
At all times and in all places
life and death go hand in hand.
What. then. IS immortal? life
surely not At most there is only
continuity Of living substance.
But this also has beginning
and an end. Just as living sub
stance was once able TO Hppear
on the earth and indeed was
forced to appear when AL it's
conditions came together. so also
1t must pass, away from the earth
as soon as IT'S conditions cease.
and wherever and whenever
upon any heavenly body IN the
universe, the conditions for the
origin appear anew there living
substance is formed out OF lHe
less substances. ard wherever
and whenever the conditions of
life cease there also living sub
stance returns to lifeless forms.
The phenomenon OF human con.
seriousness ceases with the life
Of the cerebral cells. but the life
of these cells is extraordinarily
frail. Even the stoppage Of thps
blood for a few seconds seems
completely to inlliblt consC ious-
