lhere are number Of ways In which
aust may be ignited but in the case Of
threshins machines IT appears probable
that static electricity, generated by tho
operation Of the machine, is chiefly re-
sponsible. The generation of a sufficient
supply OF static would result in the
discharge Of a spark which. under the
proper conditions, would serve TO ig-
mite the explosive mixture Of dust and air.
In this connection It has been observed
that belts slipping IN pulleys will gener-
ate considerable quantities Of static elec-
trlcity.
IN view Of these facts the department
recommends the grounding of all cyln-
der shafts on throshing machines. This
can be- done by dry brush contact with
the cylinder and wires run to an iron rod,
driven into damp ground me gfcundins
OF grinding machines In mills has proved
effective in preventing these dust expo-
sions and a similar precauton can be
adopted advantageouslv with threshers.

our loins in obedience to the final injunc-
ton of this great letter Grow in grace
and In the knowledge of Our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ" we may find our
supreme satisfaction through implicit
faith in Him with whom a thousand years
Is as one day, knowing that when we
have measured up to the standard He has
set, the citizenship of the blended worlds
will shout In conscious triumph ITO Him
be glory both now and forever"
In this sublime faith then, o seniors,
go forth to conquer, for "Behold the Lord
God will come with strong hand, and His
arm shall rule for Him: behold His re-
ward is with Him and His work before
Him. He shall feed His flock like a
shepherd he shall gather the lambs with
His arm. and carry them in His bosom
He hath weighed the mountains in scales
and the hills in balance. Behold the
nations are as drop Of the bucket, and
are counted az the small dust of the bal
ance; behold he taketh up the isles as a
very little thing"
God may do as HI will with the nations
but through you and me and those who
are yet to come. He will ultimately ac-
complish His mighty purposes for the
sons and daughters of men. In the GER
tain assurance that with Him a thousand
years is as one day 1t Is your high Cod
given privilege to live your lives In the
calm serenity Of an unwavering faith that
the blameless painless Jay is on the way.
The time will come when every change
shall cease.
This quick revolving wheel shall rest in
peace:
No summer tnen shall burn, nor winter
freeze:
Nothing snail be to come. and nothing
past,
But all eternal now shall ever last"
-Petrarch

MESSAGE TO CLASS.

This is the message Of inspiration I
would bring to YOU who are soon to
leave this university Through four happy
years of association together we your
teachers have lived for you. hoped for
YOU and prayed for you, and now We are
about TO send YOU out into the world
with the benediction OF alma mater We
firmly believe that the largest success
and the highest happiness await all those
of you who will dedicate your powers to
the service OF mankind In co-partnershp
with the God Of the Ages Imbued with
the spirit of His Son YOU cannot fall
1t is In the confidence of Christian OPP
timism that we bid you go forth. Labor
Ing with other men and women of similar
purposes no one dare predict what you
may not accomplish. Sickness Is moving
rapidly away before the march of health
morality in business is supplanting the
questionable commercial methods of the
last preceding decade; the professions are
taking advanced ground; temperance Is
routing dissipation, the home life Is be-
coming purer, and society is frowning on
double standards of morals for the sexes
Schools are improving: churches are be-
coming more practical: missionary effort
Is retaining Pagan peoples; and there
Is warrant for the belief that the present
generation is witnessing the last great
war in the history OF men.

creas!ng momentum of civilization with

summation Is approa aching 1t Is not
