a NEW VERSE TO "AMERICA'

At the recent meeting Of the Na
tional Editorial Association held at
Minneapolis, Miss Hall, who was in
attendance, was the author of a new
verse to "America," which was sung
during the meeting Of the convention
every time the song was sung, which
was several times each day. The new
verse follows, and we believe it should
and viii be sung over the states,
especially during the present war:
God save our splendid men

Keep them victorious and ever chval

HOME MADE EEAN HARvEs .ER

There is quite large acreage Of
beans in Melette county this year
and they promise to yield a good
harvest but one of the problems to
the growers in TINS county Is to har-
vest the crop, which is always :onsid-
erable OF a task Here is way to
reduce the labor connected with
harvesting beans with IL homemade
harvester that is said to be quite
feasible. Two long sled runners
should be made out Of two inch
planks and rather strongly braced
between them, because they will be
subjected to heavy strain. 1t the
outside of these runners heavy steel
knives must be so placed that they
will run under the surface OF the
