AGATE and ONYX.

The distinction between agate and
onyx is not apparent to every one, as
is indicated by the samples Of the two
minerals received by the United States
geological survey with requests for in
formation. Onyx marble, Or Mexican
onyx, is composed of calcium carbon
ate or banded limestone. True agate
is a variety Of silica. Onyx marble is
much softer than agate and is rarely
used for gems, but when onyx is OBJ
tanned in pieces Of sufficient size it is
cut and polished for small ornamental
objects like inkstands and paper
weights, as well as for table tops and
soda water fountains.

Whether Richard Henry Calling is a descendant of the inventor
Of the famous gun, we do not know. But we do know that Richard
Henry can shoot straight to the bulbs eye, as is evidenced by
these words from a letter he wrote to the New York Tribune: "f
ton to avoid war at any cost by living in a maze Of optimism, the
fanacy of it all will not destroy the vision of the American people.
1t is a pity, indeed, that MI. Wilson is not possessed Of greater ca
pacity. His mind seems to be perplexed by sophistries, but this
is peculiar to his character, and unless his policies change his
feeble and insidious methods will ruin the stamina of this govern
ment. His is the caution which does not see, because it will not
look forward"

Within one year, possibly two, there will be no call for harvest
hands when the wheat is ready for cutting. At least this IS the
have been tried out this summer by the farmers with success. NO
harvesters, when the machines are in use, will be needed.
The machine which the farmers believe will supplant the har-
vest hands is propelled by four horses and operated by two men.
In size and appearance it resembles a header.
The machines do not head the wheat. They thlesh the Wheat
from the stalE. The straw is left standing. and uncut on the
ground. Without shocking OF stacking the threslllng IS done OIL
rect.
The machines can be run on the wet wheat fields as nicely as the
binders, according to the farmers. This year, except where the
ground is excessively noistened, the farmers of Kansas have been
able to use the machines satisfactorily in every instance.
What such a machine will mean in the Northwest, IT its use be-
comes general, is i%nestimable. One thing it portends is a certain
ty. There will no longer be need of the clarion call for oO,OWO har-
vesters.
Northwest farmers are not given to dreams. But during the
last few years they have seen the necessity of the abolition Of
harvesters. No trouble would be experienced by the farmers IT
the harvest hands coming to the wheat fields all wished to WORK.
But they don't.
A large percentage of them are I. w. WIS OF, in other words,
men who refuse virtually outright to help with the wheat cutting.
Thew don't come to help the farmers and themselves, but to prove
sire employment. The farmers have come to realize this.
The farmers not alone have trouble with the ]. W. WIS during
the harvest, but before it begins. Not being able to determine
exactly who will and who will not work, the I. ". WIS get advan-
tage of the bread lines also.
This years harvest has shown the farmers that something is
needed to supplant the harvesters. Sabotage has never been
practced more freely by the l w. WIS.
Many farmers in Kansas have lost. nearly their entire wheat
crop a sa result of the incendiary working of the "hobo" type.
Hundreds Of acres of fields in western Kansas have been burned
with almost a total loss to the farmer. The breaking of machin
cry has held up the harvesting in Northwestern Kansas at the
most critical times.
Heavy rains have fallen in the northwestern part of that state
for the work of cutting to begin and then break the machines.
This delays the harvesting for days, and by the time the far
mers have made repairs for the cutting rainfall again usually in:
terferes.
With the new combination machines North Dakota will have
practically all the workers it needs within the state to do the work
No call for outside assistance will be nec essary.-Minot Democrat

An average ad valorem rate of duty of 1011 per cent for the
week ending September 1S, 1915, sets the low duty record under
the Democratic tariff law: Imports to the value of $~29,S26149
entered the thirteen principal customs districts of the United
States for that week, on which customs duties to the amount Of
3,040,368 were realized. The average ad valorem rate of duty
provided ample revenue for the government, and enabled the
Democratic administration t ostart with a handsome surplus.
For the month of August, 1915, 70 per cent Of our imports came in
without paying a cent of revenue to the Government the for
egn producers reaped the benefit and the retail price of commod-
tiles did not decline.

The Devils Lake Journal rises to remark that Taft, while presi-
dent, gave us a Mexican policy that got nowhere Of settled nothing.
Granting such to be the case, is it not a fact that the Mexican
policy of our present president is so much worse than Taft's policy
was that there is really no comparison? The fixed standard of
Wilson's policy seems to be to let the Mexicans dictate to United
States, and kill off her citizens at their pleasure. If any presi-
dent could give a worse Mexican policy than Wilson is giving us,
we don't know how he woul dmanage it.
The Democratic machine in this state is working overtime to lay
the wires for John Burke to land in the U. S. Senate, but they are
having trouble in their own camp. Some OF the leading Demo.
Gratis of the state refuse to swallow any more of Honest Johns"
medicine. If Mr.. Burke wants to hold an office he better remain
where he is, as the people of North Dakota have reached that point
where they refuse to be "BurkiZed" any longer.
Now that President Wilson has decided to get married again, it
is likely that about all we will see in some papers will be about
Wilson and his bride to be-. Already they are trying to make her
out a descendent of an Indian princess. Before she lives to get
married the probability is that she will be found to be a relative to
the Kaiser OF some other great ruler.

Soon after reaching the summit, a
little more than halfway between the

the rough panorama of scenery that
it at once as weird as it is interesting.
To the left, hugging the road close
