DREAM OF WEALTH
IN THE NORTH

l
Yes, just wealth from ca
lamity.
The war in Europe is calamity
IA world calanity-but from 1t
will come great wealth for the
American farmer.
He will reap the greatest benefit
of all.
When the war is over Europe
will awaken to the fact that it is
destitute Of foOdstutfs.
Fields will be untitled except by
aged men, women and young boys
and the little produced by them
will supply out fraction of the
demand.
1t is then the American farmer
will step into the breech with his
hundreds of millions of dollars
worth OF farm products.
The demand will be great and
prices will be correspondingly
high, and the farmer will reap a
golden harvest such as he has
never known before.
And the farmer will spend Iiber-
ally in turn, and the merchant, and
the professional! man, and the me-
chanlc, and all of the people, even
unto the humble editor, will share
in the newly accumulated wealth
that it is to come to US from across
the seas.
Tremendous crops are reported
the government estimating corn
at 2 676, 100000 bushels, wheat at
1872, 900, 900, oats at l 49,, 100000,
barley at 1917, 000,0 900 bushels, and
other crops in proportion.
When the great surplus of this
crop is marketed in Europe at war
prices it will pour SO mach wealth
into the pockets of the farmers
that our country will be flooded
with gold, and the liberaity Of the
farmer in his own prosperity will
radiate to all branches Of trade.
Patience is the watchword today
but tomorrow elf rent story
will be told
And with patience we should
combine enough common sense to
keep US free from all entangle-
ments in the present conflict. -Ex-

Inventor OF the Airbrake.

Who really invented the airbrake?
Certainly the automatic airbrake, the
one that has proved practicable and OF
permanent value in modern railroad
ing, was the product of the late George
Westinghouse ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
in 1872, superseding the non.automatic
or straight" Westinghouse airbrake
patented In 1869, and later the West
inghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But, as In the case of most other in
ventions, there are several claimants
for originality in this field. Thus
Nine. M. Drouanet, daughter of M.
Debruges of Paris, claims the distinc-
ton of priority for her father. The
New York Times has letter from

Miller, of new and useful improve
