DEFENDS HARVESTER co..
One Of your contributors, Mr.. S. NJ.
Shot, gives new currency in The
Day Book to an ancient and IOng-eX-
ploded falsehOOd about this company,
as to which you may wish to set your
readers straight, or at least your con-
tributOr.
In a communication published
Feb. 20, Mr.. Shot says 80
the harvester trust shows cOnsidera-
ton for the farmer by selling its pro-
ducts cheaper abroad than to the
American farmer"
Our products are sold cheaper in
the United States than anywhere else
and we have but one price. There
never was any justification or excuse
for any such charge. 1t began a good
many years ago as campaign fabri-
cation, a piece of sheer invention.
That it still persists and is believed
and repeated by intelligent people
testifes to human credulity, to hu-
man carelessness about the truth
ana 10 the amazing VlCanCy OF a
plausible lie.
In 1909 this fa1sehood was official
ly and authOntatively stamped as
such in two reports rendered by the
United States department of COM
merce and labor to the senate in re-
Spouse to resolutions of that body.
These reports are to be found in the
records as parts 1 and Of senate
document No. 6, 61st congress, 1st
session. They contain facts and fig
ures gathered by special agents of
the government as to the prices of
American farm machinery abroad
which, on comparison with current
American prices, showed the utter
falsity Of the charge.

Gases Used In Warfare.

A recent scientific report from Eu.
rope treats Of the principal gases used
for attack. These, include chlorine,
bromine, sulphur dioxide and formal.
dehyde. Chlorine and bromine have
proved most effective, because Of their
great weight. They roll over the
ground like water. These gases nre
released from compression tanks. The
sulphur dioxlde and formaldehyde are
produced by burning the appropriate
chemicals. There are many gases
more deadly than those named, but
IN order to be effective for trench
work the poison gas must have suffi.

The gas mask has practically done
away with the actual effectiveness of
the gas attacks, but they are said to
have considerable psychological effect
still, many soldiers thinking they are
"gassed" when they are only smelling
the harmless vapors set up inside the
gas masks. Az

How Trenches Are Dug.

Each man in an officers training
camp Is given an intrenching shovel,
about the size Of a big tablespoon, and
a small pick. He is expected to dig his
trench with those small tools. Each
main must start lying fiat on his
stomach and dig himself into the
ground. In about two hours IN entire
system of trenches, beginning with the
skirmishers' trench, and ending with
the reserve trench, is finished, together
with the pnrapets in front to protect
the men from the front to protect the
meR from the enemy's fire, and the
paradoes behind to keep out pieces Of
bursting shell. After the men have
dug their trenches down SO they are
out Of range they sometimes get a
shovel little larger than their in
trenching tool. That helps consider
ably, for the intrenching tool takes out
about quart Of earth with each move
ment. Each man carries his intrench.

NOT ALL HEROES AT FRONT
Manus Duggan, Twenty-Year-Old
Irish Lad, Saves 25 Miners, but
Loses His Own Life.

Not nll the deeds Of bravery are In
the war zone. When fire in the
Spectator mine, near Butte, Mont, en-
tombcd several hundred men and
brought death to 145 others, q twenty
year-old Irish lad named Mnnus Dug
gan, known as "nipper boy" or tool
boy, saved 25 miners by his cOolness
ana Self-sacritice. But he paid for de-
votiOn to duty with his life. His body
was taken from the mine five. days
later.
When the first flash of flames, smoke
and deadly gas cut Off all retreat from
the mine, Duggan was caught with a
number of companions in diStant tun-
mel. Reared in the mines ut Butte,
he knew every nook and turn in the
underground workings. He guided q
party of miners through the tunnels to
spot comparatively free from gas
and fire. There he constructed tenn
porary bulwark. He had few timbers
ut hand, and principally put off the
fires approach by building Il wall of
dirt, rocks and clothing taken from his
companions and the bodies of those
who already had fallen victims to the
fire. AS fast as one temporary wall
was thus constructed he fell back with
his charges and built another. He
finally directed the party to a point
where their rescue was effected by
miners from above. Whether the boy
turned back to seek others or was
overcome while building his last de.
fcnsc against the rapidly approaching
flamcs and gas, no one seems to know
But he died at his post and his body
was buried among the victims OF the
grim tragedy.
Hut what he did will never perish
from the memory OF 25 men who owe
their lives to the "nippcr boy" Manus
Duggan.

Living on calorlea.

The cheapest eating in the world is
rice and peanuts, measured by the
calories, which constitute the only real
test. The former costs five cents per
1000 calorles and the latter seven
cents. So that If a person would eat a
good helping Of rice and wind up by a
plentiful dessert Of peanuts, he would
get more muscle, brain, nerve and bone
out Of 1t than he. would out Of a diet
OF roast beef and potatoes. There is
no attention paid to the value Of food
In practical living. Our sole guide is
what hits our appetite, says the Ohio
State Journal. We want what "we'd
ruther," as the poor woman told Jane
Addams. 1t is going in and buying
potatoes by the pile, without regard
to the bushels or pecks. There is
twice as much living in some kinds of
foods as in others and yet we pass up
our plate perfectly unconcerned
whether 1t comes back with 500 or
L0Oo calories. This Is one reason we
are poor.
