(Which covers weeds best. mold
board or disk pillow?
Ans-R NJ Dolve, professor OF
farm mechanics. Under good condi.
tons for blowing the best type Of disk
plow will cut and cover as we'll as the
mold board plow but In some local.
tiles the soil is seldom in an ideal
condition 80 that 1t may be said that
as rule the mold board plow cuts
and covers better than the disk. The
chief difference in the quality of the
work done by the two plows is In
their pulverizing action which Is de-
c1dedly more thorough with the mold
board pillow.
Q.-What Is the advantage of disk.
ing after the binder?
Ans.-The soil is usually crusted
after q small grain crop has been
grown. The soil particles on the sur.
face are packed close together and
the capillary water in the soil rises
through the small spaces between the
particles to the surface and evapor
ates. Considerable water may be lost
in this way between harvest and late
blowing. The disking makes a mulch
on the surface Of the soil so that the
water cannot rise and be lost by evap-
grafton. The disking conserves
enough water to make 1t easier. to
pillow and insures better seed bed. II
enough water is conserved to in.
crease the yield of the following crop
enough to cover the cost of disking II
will prove a profitable procedure.
OWL It pay to rotate crops?
Ans.-W. r. Porter. superintendent
Of demonstration farms. There il
no question but 1t will pay to rotate
crops outside the newest sections Of
the state, and 1t will probably pay
we'll even there. Rotation Of crops
greatly increases the margin of profit
on each crop grown and particularly
ca the small grain crops.
Q.-Can fruit be preserved without

WHEN SOCIETY SHOULD FORGIVE.

The Jean Valjeans are not confined
to fiction. They are found in real life.
There is the case of Emile Dealon of
New Orleans.
While a mere boy, he and playmate
set fire to a church The other lad
turned states evidence. and Dealon
under another name was sent to prison.
He managed to dig his way out. wan
dered about the world for time and,
eighteen years ago, returned to New
Orleans. married and settled down.
Three children were born to him.
He had a happy home and was con-
sidered a model citizen.
Then, like a stab in the back or a
blow in the darkness, some anonymous
correspondent told of Dealon's past.
He was arrested for the boyish
prank of thirty-three years before.
His wife was Frustrated by the blow
and was sent to the hospital. The
three innocent children will have a
shadow over them to the end of their
lives.
To the credit of the citizens of New
Orleans be 1t said that a petition was
at once circulated and largely signed
for Dealon's pardon.
Possibly by the time this reaches the
reader he will be a free man. Let us
hope so.
Yet this stigma will remain, and the
pity of II is that 1t will also attach
to those he loves
And all because of some miserable
letter writer who was too cowardly to
sign his or her name.
Incendarfsm, especially of church,
is a crime and merits punishment; but
is not a life of rectitude a sufficient
atonement for youthful fault-a fault
probably due more to thoughtlessness
and spirit of mischief than to vicious
ness?
Such cases are not rare. In various
forms they crop up in many COM
munities.
Individuals are taught to forgive.
Should not society also forgive?
Should not the man who reforms, who
overcomes an evil trait or deed, who
strives honestly and manfully to live
down the past. be honored rather than
blamed?
This man paid his penalty; paid 1t in
his conviction, in his imprisonment, in
his years of life as a wanderer and es-
capped convict. in his haunting fear of
discovery.
Should not his account, and others
like 1t, be balanced?

A MARVELLOUS AGE.

The other day a wireless operator out
in the Pacific ocean heard voices lou
miles away. The explanation was Of
fered that he had picked up scraps of
conversation in a distant wireless tele-
phone test
The same day came news that an
aviator had flown across the Medtter-
ranean sea from Tunis. Africa, to Sic
lily, distance of 100 miles
A few months earlier it was reported
from Paris that by a combination OF
the phonograph and moving pictures
the audience not only saw. but heard,
the actors on the screen At about the
same time 1t was cabled from London
that moving pictures had been repro
duced in natural colors without paint
ing the films.
1t is a marvellous age, just how mar
velous we who live in it but dimly real
ize
The currents of all past ages are
meeting in this focal point Of time.
The dreams of seers and prophets are
coming true. Things our great-grand-
fathers hardly dared imagine are today
commonplace.
The writer has sixteen-year-oldb boy
who has wireless apparatus, much of
which he made himself, through which
he picks up messages from ships hun
dreds of miles at sea.
What would have been a miracle to
our fathers has become the plaything
of our children.
What does all this mean for the fu-
ture?
Reflect on the swift progress of the
last twenty-five years and the swifter
progress of the last ten years.
If advancement continues at ever in
creasing speed where may 1t not lead?
Tomorrow may we not speak through
telephones without wires for hundreds
or thousands of miles and not only hear
our distant friends voice, but see his
speaking image before US?
Tomorrow may not the common
means of travel be the airship?
The automobile has come in score
of years. the telephone in lifetime,
the railroad. telegraph and steamship
In century.
With the advance of science and sur
gerry ON the one hand and of psychology
on the other may not disease be practi-
cally banished from the future man?

ONE WAY TO BE GOOD AMERICANS.

ONE WAY TO BE GOOD AMERICANS.
why are fashions imported from
Paris?
In the past few years most of the
Paris styles have been monstrosities.
They have been not only uncomfort-
able and absurd, but have verged on
the indecent.
Moreover they have been ugly.
At last the worm has turned, as
worms with even enough sense to
squirm will do sooner or later.
There is now a widespread movement
to design our own styles.
This is being promoted not only by
an influential section of the press, but
by big dressmaking and tailoring estab-
lishments and manufacturing houses.
New York designers have organized
society of American fashions for
American women.
The hobble skirt and other Paris
freaks have done their work. They
have taught us to depend upon our
selves.
We have plenty of American design.
ers, but they have been slavishly copy
ing French models
Our people have shown inventive
ness, ingenuity and good taste in other
lines, and there is no reason why they
cannot do so in the matter of feminine
apparel.
American men have their own fash
ions, and they are as well dressed as
any men In the world.
The Paris fetch has dominated the
feminine mind till now, but the end
has come.
American women are adopting new
Declaration Of independence.
They have resolved to be free from
the tyranny of foreign freak fashions.
They are through with sartorial carl
catures.
Hereafter we are to have American
styles of common sense, appropriate
ness and beauty.
This is not only a movement of pa.
triotism, but Of economy and good
taste
There is individuality in dress az
there is In color Of eyes. hair, complex
ion and shape Of figure.
There is also national individuality.
Paris fashions may be all right for
French women, but France is not
America.
This is young and growing nation.
Decadence and degeneracy cannot set
the pace for youth.
Let us have American fashions for
American women.

G. n. RAILWAY PUTS UP
OVER 5000 TONS OF ICE
Local Contractor Does Rapid Work
225 Carloads Will be UnIOaded
Here

The annual ice harvest Of the Great
Northern Railway began Monday and
from F. A. Flagg the sub contractor
who has charge Of the work we learn
that close to six thousand tons Of ice
will be stored in the two company
houses here. The filling OF the smaller
house near the depot which has a
capacity Of about 1000 tons was fin
ished yesterday and the men have be-
gun work on the big one about quar-
ter of a mile east OF the depot which
is estimated to hold 1000 tons. The
ice is being shipped from Marion Lake,
Montana, and by the time the job is
completed more than 225 carload will
have been unloaded in this city, Mr..
Fifer of Spokane secured the contract
to fill all the ice houses on the lines
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific and then sublet the jobs to
smaller contractors. Mr.. Flagg states
that he has a better equipment for
speedy work than any other contractor
on the two roads. Thus far he has
been working twelve men and unloads
and packs fifteen carloads every day,
which is more than twice as fast as the
work was done last year. He expects
to finish in about two weeks more.
