Huge Crops and Large Business.

With record breaking wheat crop,
corn crop that. with good weather,
may also break the record and an
oats crop that undoubtedly will do 70.
with prices for each and all OF these
that have not been exceeded In so
years, $500 100000 from the sale OF
thee three crops alone is about TO pass
into the possession OF our agricultur-
lists.
This is to say nothing as to the
other billions for rye. barley, hay, cot
ton. cottonseed. hogs. sheep, cattle and
the other farm products, all in sharp
demand and with markets freed from
the unjust domination OF another ma
tion certain TO command higher prices
than for years in the past.
The farmers OF the United States are
in an era OF the widest and highest
prosperity that the agricuIturists of
the country have ever known, and
their prosperity Is sure to maintain
and 20 increase the business activity
that is now so much I'm evidence I'm
every state Of the Union.
Henry Ford, the automobile manu-
facturer. I'm a recent interview stated
that the demand for cars at this time
would absorb 100000 more machines
than there were TO dispose Of. and
without doubt that demand Is largely
owing TO the ability OF our agricuitur-
lists TO buy and pay for cars.
Their purchasing power during the
past year has Increased enormously.
but the purchasing power that lies I'm
their pockets or I'm their banks this
present year will be billions OF dollars
greater than that Of the past twelve
! months.
The transportation companies Of the
United states are benefited. first. by
the Increased tonnage OF the farm pro
ducts that go TO markets over their
lines, and secondly. by the larger pur-
chases of the farming communities OF
commodities that these transportation
companies bring from the commercial
and manufacturing centers TO the dis
tributing merchants who supply the
farmers
Manufacturers and merchants Of ev-
cry class are benefited by this in-
crease In the purchasing power Of the
farmers. and this summer. autumn
and winter there will be an avalanche
OF buying that will make a new record
In the domestic trade Of the United
states.
The great harvests from our fields
Will cause to hum with gladstone tones

Are you angry? Is your lip crack
ed? Are you afarid OF wrinkles
Are you suffering from an ingrowing
crouch? None OF them? Then why
don't you smile? History tells us OF
men who trained themselves not to
smile, because they wanted stern ex-
preston OF countenance. The saw
ages also prided themselves on not
showing any sort OF emotion. Have
you noticed in the photographs that
the mothers of the war heroes OF Eu-
rope are not smiling7 Neither are
the generals who are doing the kill
ing. Only the heroes themselves are
smiling. a hard and stern expression
does not indicate good heart nor a
clear conscience. a thief seldom
smiles. The woman OF the streets
smiles with her lips, but her eyes are
hard and cold. Tho poverty stricken
man on the street who begs for a
dime, sends his plea direct TO your
heart II his appeal Is accompanied by
a smile. Only the failures OF life new
er smile. A smile is the cry OF the
sentry OF the soul--"All's Welt"

Submarine RenOnled.

HONOLULU, Aug. 29-The United
states submarine FL. submerged out
side the harbor here since March 25
last, was rehoated late tonight and tow
cd to the quarantine station I'm Homo
lulu Bay
The submarine "a, commanded by
Lieut.. Alfred l.. EIDE. and with a crew
OF 2l men, went to the bottom off the
harbor OF Honolulu March rs, 1915.
during maneuvers Of the "F" SQUAD
ron. She was located two days later
and Diver John Agrazz. of the navy,
descended 215 feet, establishing a new
worlds record. in an effort To facili-
tate the work OF bringing her to- the
surface. Her crew II was said, might
have been alive at the time but at
tempts at rescue failed, and on March
30, Rear Admiral G. r. Moore, com
manding the Honolulu naval station,
reported that the IA lay I'm 30 feet
Of water, and would have to be raised
by pontoons.
Secretary Daniels announced that
the boat would be raised at any cost I'm
order to determine the cause OF the
accident and diving apparatus and
divers were sent out, leaving San
Francisco April on the cruiser Mary
land. One of the divers, Frank CriIIy,
went down 228 feet and found one OF
the compartments Of the FL filled
with water. Another, William Lough-
man, descended 22O feet the next day.
and was seriously injured by water
pressure. These men put lines on the
"a by which the boat was dragged
slowly up the shelving bottom, but in
the process the stern was wrecked and
broken, and work was halted to await
the arrival OF pontoons. Six of these.
capable Of lifting sixty tons each. were
sent from Mare Island navy yards ear

At the time OF the accident reports
gained circulation that the F-4 was not
In good shape when she went below
water. These were officially denied.

The School Plant and Recreation.

Men will not tolerate I'm n public
school building performance they
might witness without protest In other
places, says Clarence A. Perry, I'm
bulletin just issued by the u. s. bu-
reau OF education. For this reason DR..
Perry thinks the movement to use the
school plant for social and recreation
al purposes is destined to purify ag
well as popularize amusements.
"The teaching STAFF and other ma
chinery OF the public schools are dedi-
Gated by the people to a betterment
service" says DR.. Perry, therefore
society Will not permit the building
erected solely for that purpose to be
put to contrary use"
Statistics gathered by DR. Perry
from 40 leading cities I'm the United
States show that I'm one month there
were over 100000 attendances upon
evening functions I'm the public school
buildings of these cities. The bulletin
declares that these figures mean 80
many evenings spent I'm wholesome ac-
tiyity by persons many OF whom
would otherwise have spent that time
In less beneficial or In positively
harmful pasttimes "These 100000 In
stances Of the influence OF the school
In one month, whether scattered over
many persons or concentrated upon a
few, indicate the tremendous force for
rightoousness that was extended by
one months extension work I'm these
IS cities.
"The public character Of all func-
tions held I'm the school buildings has
the effect OF censoring these func-
tions. The activity which group
heartily, publicly and unshamedly
seeks affords tho kind OF expression
that IT'S members need. When youths
and maidons consort I'm tho public
school building I'm social life we may
be certain that instincts Of racial i'm
portance are being cherished instead
OF exploited"
unfortunately" says DR.. Perry. "a
large number Of young people. in the
heyday OF life, are devotiug their am
pie margins OF energy to passive
amusements and degeneratug salts
factions. What holds these young pco-
pie back from profitable pasttlme is
lack Of meeting places and OF leader
ship. Suitable meeting places and
wise leadership would for vast ma
jority Of them, change the evenings OF
waste and drifting into times OF up
building and character strengthening.
The opportunity which society needs
for this purpose # possesses in the
vast equipment OF the public school
which lies idle otherwise during the
period Of popular leisure"

Fire Horse Goes Insane

frince, Tor six years offside horse
In the Wheeling hook and ladder team.
and white as TO body and heart and
record, ran amuck recently and was
shot by Chief OF Police Leyland. The
veteran hero had beca transferred
from the glory OF sailing to fires TO
the disgrace OF dragging drunks TO
jail, and II may be this that preyed
upon his mind. Anyway the main
springs of Princes mind were broken.
SO mad had he become that he might
have killed one OF his old time friends
OF the service, The day before the
merciful shooting he tried several
times TO kick down the barn above
him and to batter out his own brains
The white coated Prince first came
INTO his own six years ago when he
was placed on the offside OF the shaft
or the hook and ladder wagon. From
the time that his nostrlls dilated and
MS limbs pranced at the sight of the
hrst fire the place was indisputably
his. AS sort OF apprenticeship the
colthood days OF Prince were spent in
the harness OF the wagon at the
Eleventh street house Here he he
came strong and a perfect horse.
Ihen the coming of an auto chemical
wagon sent him up pace TO the hook
and ladder, but foreshadowed his end.
Prince was fast on his feet. and he
was above his fellows in the quickness
OF his mind. Few horses have brain
enough TO save human life as did
Prince several years ago. At that time
fire had called him and his team
mate down Main street The two
horses were stretched forward AT the
highest pace, while the heavy wagon
Numbered behind. when too excited
pedestrian got in the way. A true fire
morse turns or swerves for nothing.
Prince was fire horse. but he was
better than he knew. for he reached
for the paralyzed man and picked him
up by the colalr or his coat still
running. he broke his pace only when
the driver began to clamp the feins.
Then Prince set his man-load down
and paved impatiently to 20 on.
How many fires Prince saw I'm his
day would be hard to guess. but Il is
certain he never stayed away from one
or his own free will. Under Captain
Marcus he received the best OF care
and his spirit was always OF the best.
But the end OF Prince was abrupt and
not behtting his noble service.
Last June the event of great
motor-driven hook and ladder threw
Prince out OF job, Just as some
things do with us. For time Prince
ioaied on the fat of his working years.
but he was like some energetic hu-
mans. and this palled. Then a few
weeks ago he was marched against
the shaft OF the police patrol.
The horse thoughts that crowded
Princes brain must have been bitter.
Tor his spirit broke. Days passed and
ne began TO lose the balance that had
made him perfect horse. He grew
vicious where he had been gentle, and
his Keepers suffered. His eye became
bloodshot and fiery like the eve of
any common, unruly souse OF n horse.

warlikc Inventions by Men of Peace.

IL is one OF the anomalies OF warfare
that the machinery for lighting and
killing has been brought to it's present
CHASTITY perfection not by swashbuck-
| ling. bloodthirsty soldiers, but by
mild-mannered. peace-loving civilians.
True. both army and navy officers are
exercising their ingenuity TO heighten
the terrors OF battle. but theirs are
rather academic improvements on tho
more daring contrivances OF civilian
mechanics and engineers. Who gave
us the turreted ironclad? Not naval
officer. but Ericsson, marine engi-
ncer. Who invented the machine gun
with squirts death every day on a
dozen European backgrounds? Not
colonel or captain. but Hiram
Maxim, brilliant American mcchan-
tc. Who gave the battleship its quick
acting gun-clevating mechanism? Not
an ensign or a commodore, but Jan
ney. an American mechanical engi-
neer. Who Invented the motors for
turning turrets rapidly? Not a lieu
tenant. but II. Ward Leonard. one OF
Edison's former assistants. Who
planned the submarine? Not Hull
or a Nelson. but Robert Fulton. an
artist.
SO. one after another. the really inn
portant, the really epoch making in
ventions comprising the mechanism OF
wal fare prove to be the conceptions
OF romantically imaginative but lamb
like private citizens. Usually their
contrivances are anything but perfect.
They must be developed, and Il Is I'm
their development that Tn professional
soldier has been most serviceable.
1t is thus not only with the guns
and submarines OF war. but also with
the telephones and electric lights OF
peace; for the inventions that have
made the United States and other
countries commercially great came
not from within given industries. but
from without. Always Il Is a dreamy
pioneer, an intrepid free lance, aflame
with enthusiasm, who enriches his
country with radically new labor
saving device or way OF utilizing en-
ergy. Morse was n portrait painter
when he first turned his attention TO
the telegraph; Bell was teacher OF
deaf-mutes when he began his expert
ments with the telephone; Edison was
patentee of telegraphs and phono-
graphs when he gave us the incande-
scent lamp; Marconi was a mere lad
with liking for physics when he con-
Quoted his first successful experiments
In wireless telegraphy. With the sim
gle conspicuous exception OF Edison
not one OF the inventors who have
blazed new trails gave to the world
devices that could be marketed at
once. Development was necessary
development by less brilliant intel
lects identified with the Industries that
were benefited. From "The Inven-
tors Board and the Navy" by walde-

Canning Compounds Dangerous.

WASHINGTON, ID, G.. Aug. 2S.-In-
formation has come TO the Depart
ment OF Agriculture that the canning
season has brought the usual demand
on the part OF housewives for salicy-
lie acid and boric acid. These prepa-
rations are sometimes sold I'm the form
or powder under various trade names
and arc recommended by the promot-
ters for use I'm preserving canned
goods I'm home canning In the direc.
tions for use the housewife is told to
nll the Jar with fruit or vegetables
| cover with water and add a teaspoon
ful of the preserving powder. While
II IN true that these compounds may
retard the decay of the fruit or vege-
table. IL is pointed out by the experts
OF the department that their use may
be attended by serious disturbances of
health. Salicylic acid IL we'll known
as n poisonous substance, and one of
the evils which may accompany its
use is arrangement OF the digestion.
II is therefore plain that its extensive
use I'm food may lead to disturbances
of digestion and health.
The Federal food and drugs act pro
hibits the use of harmful preserva-
tives In foods that enter interstate
commerce. The food law OF nearly
every state I'm the Union forbids the
sale within the state OF foods that
have been preserved with harmful
substances. Neither the Federal or
state food laws apply to foods that are
canned I'm the home and consumed
there. II would seem. however. that
the housewife would not knowingly
use. I'm the food she provides for her
family, substances that she could not
use In foods for sale without vIolat-
ing the law. because these substances
are injurious to health.
Fruits and vegetables can be kept
indefinitely IL they are sterilizod by
heat and properly sealed, and there IN
no excuse. I'm the opinion OF the ex-
perts OF the apartment, for running
any risk by using preserving powders,
which may be Injurious to health. The
use OF such powders in addition to
the possible injury to health encour-
ages uncleanly or careless work I'm
canning. Reliance is placed I'm the
efficacy of the preserving compound
instead of upon cleanliness and heat.
The department has issued bulle-
tins that give specific directions for
the preserving and canning OF fruits
and vegetables without the use of pre-
serving powders or canning com
pounds. These bulletins may be OBJ
tained without cost from the depart
ment OF agriculture. Application

then organized herself into an Inyes-

testimony from married ladies OF her
acquaintance. The first one she visit

that he had borrowed and forgot TO
