The Belgian government has received

The Germans imposed a fine of 30

were deprived of food. and thirteen of
them were imprisoned at Munster

five days in order to force them to

justified their action, saying that the
privation was not absolute, but was
necessary in order to overcome the
passive resistance of the workmen.
Belgian civilians working at the
munition factory at Crosse Wuster-

obliged to transport hand grenaaes
after having vainly protested against
being put to such work.
The Belgian government has Other

Cyrus II. Mccormick should be a

The reaper was not born without

placed upon the brow of the young
inventor in 1892, the first Cyrus H.

invention. Instead, he ran the whole
gamut Of ridicule and penury and
hardship, of blasted hopes and

er, a Virginian farmer, had sweated
and struggled to construct a machine
that would cut grain. His expert
ments proved a failure. Cyrus H.
Mccormick however, evolved the
reciprocating blade and after a few
weeks of experimenting built a reap
er containing the basic principles of
the reaper the world now knows But
success was not to be won at once.
1t took nine years to find the first
buyer of a reaper. From 1881 to
1910 not one machine could be dis
posed of not even with the aid of an
advertisement offering the reaper at
$50. The sale of two machines in
1910 helped little, but 1s41 was
blank. The next year brought seven
orders, the next 20. and the next SO.

The Last River Drive.

AnokaL Union: The last drive of
logs on the Mississippi is now being
made near and by Anoka. For 10
years the Father Of Waters has car
ried from the north seemingly
never ending army Of logs bound for
the rapacious saws of the mills in
Minneapolis; and in older days to
mills below that city. Next year the
logs will not come, and the sight of
myriads of husky drivers, clad in
gay colored flannels, will be reserV-
ed for moving picture shows.
We remember, when a boy, of rid
ing astride big white pine logs as
they floated down the river; of fish,
ing off huge log jams, of watching
the drivers come with their Wani-
gans, teams and steamboats,, and de-
stroy those jamsb and how the cap
tain" would say to half dozen Of
us barefooted boys: Come, boys,
have a bit with u.s." and how good
the beans tasted that were baked in
q real bean hole; Of the huge slices
of pie and cake we ate, and how
the river drivers were such big
men" to us.
Don't you remember how some
particular river driver would give
you a ride in his batteau; of how
they tackled a particularly heavy
log; of the shout of the cook at meal
time, and how the profanity would
make you stand open mouthed to
listen? OF course you do, and you
can remember Jim Brown getting
his leg broken and his back hurt.
How tenderly those rough men
handled him; and how next day
some men came down and reported
that Jim had gone across" and
left a wife and five little ones.
Then you knew what a river driver
really was, a man with great, big,
warm heart, ashamed to let his fell
lows know how big his heart really
was; but when some man started
collection to help the family those
men would give and give far more
than they could afford. 1t was such
things that has always made the
river men friends in mind.
In olden days, the one curse of the
river driver, was the saloon. Liquor
was the one thing that hurt and cut
deep into the goodness of those
splendid men. Not all were foolish
enough to drink, but 1t was hard for
many to keep away from 1t,
particularly when the crowd was
bent on carousal. OF late years,
that feature has been diminished and
drinking was sure to get man in
to trouble with his boss"
What a privilege to ride on the
steamboat and what wonderful feats
the men did with boats, picks and
ropes. Was it any wonder that Dad
went to the river for his boy, when
he was missing too long from
home? The boy who hasn't a big

Eishlna Fleets Mlth Power soats.

United States Commerce Reports:
In France there are many thousand
fishermen who own their small boats
and have but little capital, hence
their equipment is of small value.
With the exception of the New
foundland feet, there is virtually no
organization in this industry. 1t has
been demonstrated, however, that
fishing with boats equipped with
marine motors gives far better re-
suits that simple sailing boats. For
example, it has been figured out that
at E,tel the sailing boats represent
3,2Ol tons, and they are manned by
Ito fishermen, whose annual product
Is worth 2S9,920 francs ($55,954,
which represents only 90.5T francs
($l7.4S) per registered ton. or 1888
francs ($32.72) per capita. At PEN
march the average annual earnings
Of a fisherman are only 1926 francs
(S16.O7). On the other hand, at
Boulogne, where mechanical fishing
is practised, the gross receipts of each
fisherman amount to about 5000
francs (s1,15S).
The introduction of detachable
marine motors for all the fishing
boats in the French ports of the
channel would revolutionize this in
dustry and be of great economic
benefit to the French fishermen.
