PICKING COTTON.

The dream Of the south is at last
coming true. Cotton is to be picked by
machinery instead of by hand. The
Chicago Record Herald has the fol-
lowing editorials:
1t has long been supposed that the
only instrument which could pick cot
ton successfully was the human hand
Millions of hands, accordingly, have
harvested, slowly and laboriously, the
great staple of the south. But it is re-
ported that a southern inventor. after
twenty-five years of endeavor and ex-
pertinent, has finally perfected a prac-
ticahle cotton harvester. An energetic
field hand can pick ESQ pounds in a
day. The new machine can pick as
much In half an hour.
1t is a small gasoline engine with
two picking attachments, formed OF
innumerable revolving steel fingers
swung beneath it, and pair of canvas
bags hung out behind. IT travels
through the field about as fast as a
man walks. II does not injure the
plants and it discriminates between
the mature bolls and the immature. Its
introduction seems to mark an epoch,
as did the invention of Whitney's gin.
Social and economical consequences
OF considerable moment are expected
TO follow. 1t is predicted that the har-
vester will open new and enlight-
ened era in the realm of King Cotton
1t viii transfer children from the cot
ton field TO the schoolhouse. 1t will
greatly modify the present undesira hIe
tenant system. 1t will save money and
time and will increase the price of
land. 1t will also do away with a
variety OF unfavorable labor conditions.
Cotton growing will be loosed from the
thraldom of horde OF shiftless, unde-
pendable itinerant help. So say the
enthusiastic prophets who feel that the
whole cotton business enjoys the pros
pect of being put on a more systematic
and scientific basis. -st.. ....

THE MINor NORMAL.

Some of the friends Of the Mino.
normal are said to be of the opinion
that the school and that section Of the
state viii be benefited more by asking
for an appropriation available in 1879,
rather than in 1911.
The city has secured the normal
school. 1t is nailed down-and ciinch-
ed. There is no way in which it can
escape.
Naturally, the people of Minot are
anxious for an immediate appropria-
tion so buildings can be erected and
the school started. That a normal is
needed up there is generally conceded
~~-and the voters demonstrated their
convictions to that effect.

che school at heart don't want the
school to get poor start. they as

Travellers Tales

Did you ever hear of the Millen-
NAL dawn sect of religious denomina-
tion?" asked Ray Beale of the hotel
reporter who was trying to run a darn
ing needle through his Pittsburg sto-
gle in an effort to make it draw.
mo, l never did," was the response.
'Well Millennial Dawner is a man
who believes that some great event
is to happen at the end of each 1000
years and when / was living just out
side of Oshkosh, Wis, in the summer
of 1900 there was the greatest kind of
revival going on among the Dawners.
There was a preacher came out from
Chicago and the way he talked of
the future abode of the ungodly was
enough to make a good man shake In
his boots and bad one wish he had
been pious all his life. This hell
preaching do you know does a good
bit of good in the world after all?
Well, he set the end of the world to

vent was he that he got the people

mettle, who was chock full of the Mil

tually sold off his Farm, but it seemed
to me he took extra precautions and
made the sale to his son. He had an
ascension robe made for him. 1t was
white and resembled a long tailed
night shirt and he had a cap that he
called crown, but looked, like night
cap. He was just as sure that the
end of the world was coming on the
night set by the preacher as he was
living, and he had me beginning to
doubt too.
THE night of Aug. 20 was warm and

FAReo's BUSY WEEK.

There are several busy periods in
Fargo during the year-but the week
of the Tri-State convention and the
incidental meetings is perhaps one Of
the greatest activity.
The Grain and Stock Growers con-
ventlon is the chief center OF interest
1t was started a dozen years ago on
the suggestion of Budd Reeve of Bux-
ton. Former Mayor johnson and
President Worst OF the A. C. carried
out the idea and did the work that laid
the foundation for what is probably
one of the greatest annual meetings of
the farmers held in the entire United
States.
The organization is not confined to
North Dakota. but draws heavily from
Minnesota and South Dakota 1t at
tracts the wideawalze, intelligent class
of grain and stock growers-who are
making a study of the problems which
confront them-are anxious to get out
of ruts-and to improve not only their
own condition. but that of their neigh
bors. .- ....
There will be prominent men at the
meeting. They will give practical talks.
Various phases of farm life will be dis
cussed and there will be something of
interest to every participant.
II
vention there will be held in Fargo
that week meetings of the American
Society OF Equity, which will discuss
the important question of a terminal
elevator. the State horticultural show,
the North Dakota Live Stock associa-
tion, the State Veterinary society, the
North Dakota Corn show, the North
Dakota Poultry show, the North Da-
kota Kennel association exhibit, the
North Dakota Engineers society and
ef other organizations.
Fargo will be able TO care for the
visitors and hopes the attendance will
be larger than ever-and that every
stranger within the gates will find
something OF interest in the many con-
MENTIONS and exhibits during the week.
Each OF these organizations has a
good object in view. The work is
along Improvement and development
lines for the betterment of some par
ticular thing. They are not seeking to
pull down or destroy-but to build up
land to boost

CITIES PLANT TREES.

New Jersey seems to have hit upon
a real scheme for city Identification.
1t is one which should commend itself
to other states-and to every munich
pality. By this law the planting of
trees along the sidewalks and in the
parks of the municipalities is placed
in the hands of three citizens OF each
town. These serve without compensa-
ton and have absolute control over
planting, caring for and maintaining
the trees.
In the city of Newark-where the
law has been in force for six years
17,oO0 young trees have been set out
on 102 miles of streets. Authority is
given the commission to assess the cost
against the property in front Of which
the trees are set out. Las, year the
assessment averaged $2.93. This is the
whole cost from first to last. If the
tree dies 1t is replaced free of cost to
the property The trees are pruned,
cared for and protected without ex-
pense to the taxpayer after the initial
assessment. The money-beyond ac-
tual expenditures for labor. stakes,
guards, etc.-is invested in more Young
trees for further planting.
The commissions powers are not ar
bitrary. 1t must give notice through
the newspapers of it's intention to
plant trees on certain streets-and
must hold public hearings where all in
terested in the matter may appear and
present arguments pro and con. Only
after this hearing and a weighing of
the views presented, may the commits
sion order the paintings It in expect
ed that there will be 1000 young trees
set out each fall and spring. These
will yearly add twelve miles of streets
to those already adorned with growing
trees. A particularly wise provision OF
this New Jersey law is that which re-
quires the trees set out on any street
to be Of a single species and all OF
one size.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Should Never Be Removed With Poi
sonous, Pasty Compounds Be.
cause They Are Dangerous
and Increase the
Growth.

The preparations above referred to
are invariably in the form Of creamy
pastes. These are easily recognized by
their pale grayish- greenish color. They
are to be spread upon the skin to re-
main until they are dry. These con-
tain Sulphide of Barium, an insoluble
chemical which cannot be dissolved
therefore cannot be absorbed by the
skin. The very fact that you are told
to leave these pasty compounds on the
skin until they d.y and cake and then
lift off with a knife is proof positive
that they are not absorbed. If they
are why do they still remain on the
skin? The most they can possibly do
is to remove the surface hair, which
in consequence win reappear stronger
and thicker after each removal.
There is only one logical and scien-
tific way to remove hair and that is
by means of liquid containing solu-
Bile ingredients which can be absorbed
by the skin. De Miracle, known all the
World over as the only real SUPER
fiuous hair remover, is Just such a
preparation. 1t is easily and quickly
absorbed and after you have used il
you will note there is nothing left
on the skin. 1t leaves the skin free
from irritation, and what is more 10
the point, it is absolutely non-pojson-
Gus, therefore, it will not produce ec-
zema or blood poisoning. Remember
no matter what claims are made 10

close to him as I could, for had a
sort of a sneaking idea that if the
end of the world was to come that
night and Kurtzmettle was going UP
would sort OF grab hold OF the tail
of his shirt and hang on and maybe
sort OF get in under the canvas, as it
were.
The old man kept praying all the

dressed in his ascension robe. and I'M

out into the meadow to a big haystaelx
and this he climbed into. / was afraid
to follow, but sneaked along until I
got to the bottom of it and there I
hid, making up my mind that lust as
the angel Gabriel began to toot. I'd
reach the man with the robe and
hang on.
Somehow or other I went to sIeep
and he must have done the same
thing, for heard him snore. Along
about o'clock in the morning was

have come along and made of that
haystack q bed room. He also must
have been smoking and dropped a
match or sparks, for when I awoke
