II looks now as il the Panama
Canal will be open to traffic a
year or more before the date orig
inally set-some say as early as
July !, 1913. This great work
is destined to have an effect upon
the trade and commerce Of the
world in general. and the United
States in particular, which is so
profound and far4reaching that
it is little less than revolutionary.
In view Of the near approach Of
this great event it would be a
blunder, Of the kind which is
worse than a crime, if the develop
ment Of our harbors and the i'm
provement Of our waterways
should be halted or hindered by so
much as an hour. The work
ought rather to be pushed for.

AFFECTING Scene
IN COUNTY JAIL
FATHER COMES TO DEVILS LAKE
FOR DAUGHTER WHO WENT
INSANE.

Devils Lake, N. D.. July IA heart
rending scene occurred at the county
jail when ]. B. Hughes of Tyndal. S.
d., met his daughter, Catherine, who
is being treated for insanity.
Since Saturday the patient has been
quiet, having worn herself out by sing
ing and restless wandering. She has
not at any time been rational The doc
tor placed great hopes on the effect of
the presence of the father and was not
disappointed. AS soon as Mr.. Hughes
entered and called her by name, she
gave one startled look, and then rush
ed forward and threw herself in his
arms and between loud and broken
sobs called him father and said some
thing about 1t all being over now. She
cried for long time afterwards and
while she seemed to feel the sadness
of the meeting 1t seemed to give the
comfort and a sense of protection to
know her father was near.
Mr.. Hughes expectes to take his
daughter to their home. Mrs. Vannier
who has been her nurse will accom-
pany them and what will be done with
the girl later will depend on how she
improves.

HoRsELEss HARVEST

Horseless harvests soon Will become
as common in the big wheat fields
OF western and central Kansas as the
preparation Of the ground for fall
seeding Of wheat. in which big en-
gines are used. Gasoline engines for
pulling harvesting machines came in
to use in Kansas for the first time
this year, says an exchange. wichita
and Hutchinson men also have In
vented a machine that cuts and
threshes the wheat at the same time.
1t is motor driven. This machine is
just now being tested in various parts
of the state.
Two or three types OF motor driven
harvesting machines hre in use in
Kansas this year. Some of the ma
chimes are headers and small motors
drive the machinery. while horses pull
the outfit There is also q binder
made which Is pulled by horses, but
they have none of the work of cutting
and binding the wheat and oats. A
small motor does all this work. The
motor Is set under the machine and
is connected by a set of pulleys that
reduces the speed of the gasoline mo-
tors to that required by the binders.
d. F. Penner and Jacob Balzer, own
ing big farms near Inman, have COM
pleted their harvest and not a horse
was used in the field except to wagons.
Huge gas motors pulled the harvesting
machinery, and the same gas tractors
will be used In running the big thresh-
ing machines. and later in pulling the
plow and cultivators.
Both Mr.. Penner and Mr.. Balzer
came to America from southern Rus
STA They were used te the primitive
methods of harvesting wheat by hand
with scythes. 1t is a far cry from the
old reapine hook which they used in
southern Russia to the huge machines
which they now use in gathering their
crops.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting facts Regarding
Health Statistics

Few people realize, to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys,
The physician in nearly ali cases of
serious Illness, makes a chemical
analysis Of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot be brought back to
health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics. Bright's disease which IL
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1910. in the state of New York
alone Therefore, 1t behooves US to
pay more attention to the health Of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy
The mild and healing influence OF
this preparation is soon realized. It
stands the highest for It's remarkable

The bureau Of mines some time ago
conducted . series OF experiments at
the pumping plant Of the reclamation
service at Williston, and succeeded in
developing furnace that would burn
the Ignite satisfactorily But this did
not solve the problem Of transporta-

where the briquetting Of Ignite is
much farther advanced and obtained
from that country powerful briquet-
