This is the battle that is being silent

building covered with ivy is the famous
inventor laboratory.
81 have no right to talk about it
ask the secretary of the navy" was
the message that came from the closely
guarded sanctum today in response to
an inquiry on Edison's work.
Edison is guarded like the president,
An iron fence, crowned with menacing
barbed wire, separates his laboratory
from the rest of the plant. When Edi-
son appears secret service agent dogs
him.
The old man. as he is known to
his associates, has started out to beat
the kaiser just as methodically as he
started out to perfect electric lights
and Photographs. Today when he
climbed from his dusty "flivver" and
punched his time card-No. lit reg,
istered $3.50 a. m. Yesterday he
plugged in at S:45 and out at 80
a. m.-nearly sixten hours later.
Inside the barbed rail with Edison
were few confidential assistants
roughly dressed, unshaveu men, with
deeply lined faces. Outsiders had fleet.
ing glimpses Of them as they darted
past windows, all in a tearing hurry
The kaiser would probably give an

Harvest Notes

Leo Wagner says he would not
accept $6.OOO.00 for his wheat
crop as it stands now, and after
looking it over and counting the
% stacks to be seen driving by
we believe heis right. His wheat
crop this year will pay for all his
section or more of land and pay
him wages for the time he has
been here besides. This is shin
ing example of the differencebe-
tween buying land here for $40. 90
per acre and less and renting for
$1,000 an acre a year in eastern
states, 1t is deplorable to think
of the thousands of good young
men, expert farmers. who are
Shaving away their lives on east
ern farms paying rent when they
could follow Mr.. Wagner's exam
pie and be independent here in a
few years.

More than twenty of the fifty
headers on this mesa were at
work Sunday in the laudable SER
vice of saving the wheat crop
with which the Almighty has SO
abundantly blessed US this season
The men who manned the header
crews evidently figured that
when Providence had done his
part it was up to them to do
theirs and, mindful Of the rules
of the game, they overlooked the
rules of the Sabbath in. their
practical efforts to escape the
chances of hail and storm that
easily destroy the fruits of two
years labor in this case. Of
course we know that the Christ
himself was bitterly censured for
doing good on the Sabbath day,
SO we refrain from criticism as
this is merely a matter of person
al opinion and harvesting on Sun
day appeals to us as work Of
necessity and fully justifable.

sion will supply seed wheat and
rye to farmers who need it for

nathy, oreceive application from
those needing seed and report to
the State Board. Those who can
prepare ground for winter wheat
or rye and whoneed help to secure

In this connection we want to
urge the necessity for intelligent
preparation for the planting of
this seed. Men whose ambition
to plant a big crop in excess of
their ability to do it right should
have the advantage Of experienced
men in curbing their ambition to
fit their ability. 1t is an injury to
some person toencourage extrav
igant effort and obligate them
to pay for misdirected ambition.
Practical state help is right
and proper, but all men who farm

results than furnishing wing.
