MELTING POT WAS SUCCESS.


The Chautauqua program has been
so uniformly good that patrons had
grown to expect eXcellencies from the
producers, but even in face of this fact
the emmense house was not prepared
for the masterpiece as presented in
THE Melting Pot last evening.
With all of the pent-up fires of souls
who have touched hand with life's
real tragedies. their words ringing
true and penetrating like those whose
natures have been scared in the white
heat of establishment, the actors
laid bare the intent of the writer. and
at no one instant was the house out
of touch with the play.
Such a blending of aspiration, vision
ing, hopefulness and prayer, back
grounded against realities as startling.
lv cruel as pen or the mind may make
them, VIII perhaps never be present.

Zangwin, and is replete with a tinglins

will prove that with six bundle teams
with a loader attached to each wagon
you can get more grain to the ma
chine than can now be done with te
teams and several field pitchers.
Mr.. Myers has not yet put any OF
these machines on the market, but is
simply devoting his time this year to
demonstrations to prove the merit of
them, and as soon as threshing is ov-
er he hopes to have a company form
ed and enough machines manufacture
ed before next threshing eason to put
them on the market through the
whole northwest. Besides being a
shock loader, they will also handle
hay from the ground, and save the
work Of 6 maj to pitch on the load.
We have before e a demonstr :
ton of a shock loader, but this n is
built on a different and more simple
plan than any ever before invented,
and the fact that you can attach it t.
any hay rack and wagon, and without
any extra force to operate it is goi :;
to make it a sure winner.
We feel safe in saying that there
has at last been a successful shock
loader invented, and n that is GO.
ing to prove a boon to threshing ma
chine men, and that is the Myers
shock loader. Before we saw the op'
operation of this machine this week :.
would not have believed that such ;
simple, yet perfect working machine
for the purpose could be made, but t.
see it work would convince the mos
skeptical that it is truly a real SHOCK
loader.

MYERS. SHOCK
L0ADERSUCCESS
NEW INVENTION OF D. M. MY
ERS QUITE A WONDERFUL MA
CHINE.

The writer TO this article was cali
ed to Penn, this county, Tuesday to
witness a demonstration of a newly
invented machine known as a shock
loader. the same having been invenrec
and. patented by Mr. D. M. Myers,
who at one time conducted the Aber-
deem hotel in this city. MI. Myers
has been studying and working n
this machine for three or four years,
and to say that he has perfected :,
machine which is going to revolu-
%tionize shock threshing in North d.
kota is a fair statement. The ma
chine is a simple one and very easy
to operate, being attached tt ohe bun
die rack with a gearing on one wheel
of the wagon, which operates it auto
matically, and yet it does the work
with such grace and ease that it is
really surprising. It picks up tn.
whole shock at a time and delivers t
into the wagon rack with practical! !,
one movement, thereby minimizing
the Smelling of grain in the handling
of the bundles from the ground to IT,,
machine. When the fork enters the
shock the pressure trips the machine,
and the whole shock is lifted and
dumped in q very neat manner. 7"
beauty of this machine is that +
needs no extra team or men to oper-
ate but is attached to the bundle wa
gon, and when the same is loaded it
is hauled direct to the machine. One
must sec this machine to appreciate
it, but we predict that within the next
two or three years every threshing
machine mar will have them in con-
n%ection with his threshing outfit, and
they will be a great saver, as a de
monstration Of one of these machines

WORRINGB0YS
LADS WHO GET UP DEMOCRATIC
I. TEXT BOOKS ARE NOW Walk
ING FLOORS AT NIGHT.

The failure OF Mr.. Wilson to get a
salute from General Huerta after the
act Of war &c Vera Cruz which cost
the nation eighteen lives and several
millions OF treasure has made the
compiler of the Democratic campaign
text book walk the floor nights, says
the New York Sun. Something Rad
to be said about it. He conceived the
brilliant idea that "the American
forces were not sent to Vera Cruz to
compel a salute of the American flag"
land that MI. Wilson's purpose twas
much the same as that in the Presi-
mind later when he ordered
General Pershing to lead an expedi-
tionary force into northern Mexico to
break up the Villista faction, which
was behind the Columbus raid" So
in both cases Mr.. Wilson's object was
to crush a faction that was engaged
in the commission of intolerable
wrongs against the United States"
This comes Of having to deal with
weasel words. Mr. Wilson address
ed Congress on April 80, 1914, and
asked for its approval Of the use Of
the armed forces ito obtain fro1r
General Huerta and his adherents thu
fullest recognition of the rights ant
dignity Of the United States, eve,
amid the distressing conditions nov
unhappily obtaining in Mexico" M.
Wilson, leading up to the applicatio,
to Congress, said that he felt it to b
his duty to "insist that the flag of tn,
United States should be saluted il

such q way ass to indicate q new spirit
and attitude on the part Of the Huer-;
tistas." Obviously if the provisional
had isaiuted Admiral Fletch.
er's flag the incident would have been
closed right there. But now Mr.. Will
sons apologist would have thegpeople
Iunderstand: that his object was .sto
break up tile waning power Of the die
ttator and bring his bloody reign to an
end
Unfortunately for the comparison
with the Pershing expedition, the
enemy Of the administration whose
behavior precipitatedssltwa previous,
~ an ally Of the President and not on
the blacklist, as Huerta was. If the
explanation that in both cases Mr..
Wilson's object was to crush a faction
Of Mexicans engaged in intolerabie
wrongs against the United States" be
accepted, how can it be reconcileG
with his statement to Congress in the
message of April 20, 1914, that "the
people Of Mexico are entitled to set.
tie their own affairs in their owr
way"
Each case must stand on it's owr
bottom. Mr.. Wilson invaded the stat,
of Vera Cruz to compel a salute from
Huerta, and even Caranza protested
against the method employed. Mr.
Wilson invaded Chihuahua becaus,
Columbus had been raided, and Car
rama protested again. Finding tn
same motive for both Intellectual in
terventions to suit the exigencies of
political campaign only involves MI
Wilson in the meshes of his policy o

contracts worked Off from 14.43 to 14.3f
during the early trading. while January
sold down from 14.51 to 14.4l. OF about

Business here was much less active
than yesterday and a private cable re-
ceived from Liverpool said business was
also tapering off in the English market.
Futures opened barely steady: October.
