were caught in the act and are

Some individual near Mohall
was sore at a certain thresher
and proceeded to put old horse
shoes in the wheat shocks on
one of his farms to be threshed
by that rig with the result that
the separator was put out of
business.
While two hunters of MOhall
were out hunting last week, a
duck which they had shot and
put in the rig, decided it had
been there long enough and
took flight. The hunters were
too startled to again shoot at it.
Hugh Bowling of Ardoch,
who was employed as separa-
tor man on the Fred Dean
threshing rig. had the misfor-
tune while oiling some part of
the separator to get his arm
caught, breaking it in two
places. He was immediately
brought to his home and the
injured member set.

BATTLES AND
THE WEATHER

Never before in the history
of the world has there been
such a cannonading as has
been going on in France dur
ing the past few weeks. Day
and night along a battle line
which at times has extended
two hundred miles, big guns
and little guns have been dis
charging their missiles and
and fairly rending the air with
their awful sound. And, for
many days, with brief inter-
walls, rain has been pouring
down in torrents. Cause and
effect? Surely those who be-
lieve that cannonading brings
rain will point to France for
complete justification of their
belief.
We do not know when the
idea that the conclusion of
heavy firing in great battles
brought rain, but the opinion
has been and is entertained by
very many people. Naturally
it must have originated since
The use of gunpowder became
prevalent, as, prior to that
time men really did not make
very much noise in this world.
But, at any rate, this belief
has become very common in
modern times, and people
have pointed to this battle and
that, which were followed by
rain. in proof of tic theory.
The fact that heavy rai..s have
followed the great battles in
France will clinch the thing in
the minds of many people.
Scientific men say that there
is absolutely no basis for the
-, lief. They admit that it has
rained after many great bat
ties, but they assert-and, pre-
sumably, they have the records
to prove the statement - that
there have been many great
battles which were not follow
ed by rain within a time suf-
ficiently brief to justify the be-
lief that there was any con-
nection between the two. Still
further. they point to the fact
that the efforts of so-called
rainmakers to cause rainfall
by the discharge of great guam
titles of explosives. while these
were sometimes followed by
rain, were just as frequently
by dry weather. 1t is also a
fact that, while many expert
mentS of this kind have been
made on an elaborate scale,
and while the work would
have been continued if men
with money to invest could
have been convinced that the
scheme was successful, these
experiments have all been a
bandoned.
So far as the conditions in
Europe are concerned, if one
will forget all about theories
on the subject, he will note
that heavy rains in Central Eu-
rope in September are quite
common, just as such rains are
common in America and else
where. There is really no more
reason for believing that the
rains have been caused by the
cannonading than that they
have been caused by the de-
clarations of war or the flying
of aeroplanes, or the smell of
gasoline from the auto trucks.
The rains followed all of them.

The Land Question in Mexico.

AS one reads further into the Mex
lean problem, the more startling ap-
pear the lights and shades Of that un-
happy people. On one hand you find
a class possessing education and cul-
ture comparable to the finest polish
of America or Europe. Underneath
the thin upper crust composed first
of cultivated and educated people
second of the feudal owners of the
land, are the millions Of poems, y
who are practically serfs. A bad
economic system keeps them always
in debt and ignorance.
The situation is really about 300
years behind the age. The feudal
hierarchy of land ownership is like
what existed in Europe number OF
centuries ago. 1t is no wonder that
the peon, hopeless in his life of low
wages or heavy taxes, frequently
quits the despairing task of agricul
ture, which seems only to enrich the
proprietor. Under such circumstan'
ces he feels he has nothing to lose by
brigandage, or by espousing the
cause of some demagog, and he might
possibly gain something.
Observers of the problem incline
TO one of two alternatives. Does the
country need another Diaz, some
strong man who shall restore order
establish a benevolent despotism
with the end in view a gradual en-
lightenment of the working classes
until some future day when they can
undertake some share in self govern
ment?
Or is the time ripe now for more
democratic movement, in which the
attempt shall be made to establish 8
real republican government in this
land of darkness?
Whichever attitude one may take,
this one thing seems clear, that
whatever power shall rule at Mexico
City, it must take determined meas
ures to encourage private holding in
land. The small farmer must be
protected. There must be courts
that will defend his right to enjoy
the fruits of his land in peace.

At six O'Clock the annual banquet
took place. The Junior and Senior
classes of the college department
were invited to attend together with
many friends of the College living

real spirit.
Prof. Sperati gave short talk on
the new instruments acquired by the
Luther College Concert Band which
tours Norway next summer. Prof
Sperati explained the nabimba which
is an absolutely new instrument con-
structed something on the order OF
bells. This instrument takes the
place of harp in the trap and drum
section. The second great instru.
ment was the cathedral chimes which
are excellent. The new tympani &C
quired few weeks ago fully equip
