About the middle of last month some-
body in authority in the navy depart
ment ordered three men to take trip in
a free balloon. The purpose was to make
ga test flight to test air currents" Al
ter about q hours of test work most of
the time IN driving storm, the balloon
came to earth in the forest few miles
from Moose Factory which is 200 miles
from the nearest railroad station and 800
miles from the point of departure near
New York City. The balloon was left in
the woods. The men, after much expos
ure, reached Moose Factory and about a
month thereafter reached home in New
York and reported that there was a
strong air current. but they were unable
at any time to determine in what direc-
ton it was moving. The naval expert,
whose duty it was to discover and make
known the scientific value of all naval
experiments, studied this report for a
long time in vain. Finally he took a
squint at the map of North America and
shouted, Eureka, the wind was blowing
from S. E. to N. w." and then he made
record of the fact on the log book of the
navy. We hope that after the fourth of
March there will be somebody at the head
of the Navy Department who will be
able to tell which way the wind blows
without sending up balloon.

Type That Has Vanished.

The Black hills prospector, that
unique character who has furnished
many theme for novels built around
mans quest for gold, practically has
disappeared from South Dakota, E. C.
Yates Of Lead, S. D., declared in an
address before the twenty-third annu-
al convention Of the American Mining
congress.
Passing of the prospector has been
due primarily to the fact, according to
Yates, that "the gold taken from the
mines does not have sufficient value to
pay the cost of production" He de-
scribed the gold industry in the Black
hills as being lin a state of disinte-
grafton"

veto. Congress looked at the situation
from q practical standpoint and believed
that the work of the War Finance Cor

that if the corporation makes itself the

relieve such unfavorable business condi-

Better homes on the farms" is an
excellent slogan that is gaining ire
mendous impetus throughout the coun-
try. The old-time, long-accepted idea
that the farm home was merely a roof
end four walls is losing a foothold
because Of the development Of the
building enterprise and individual am
bition. The housewife has become
acquainted with the beauties and con-
veniences Of the city home and she in
sists that her nest shall be just as
modern as any. Moreover she has be-
come tired of the back breaking
drudgery that kept her tied to the
limits Of the house and made her work
ing day one long, endless, monotonous
grind.
The effect is apparent in all Sec
lions of the country. The farm home
is no longer subordinated to the dairy
barn, the implement shed or the poul-
try house. Today it is first in the
mind Of the farmer, certainly first in
the eyes Of his wife and of tremend-
GUS Importance to the children. I'm
less home surroundings are made at
tractive they will leave the farm for
the cities where attractions abound.
AS result the farm home is as at
tractive, convenient and modern as
most houses in cities. Electric light,
running water, bathrooms and laun-
dries are no longer something to he
dreamed about; they are actual real
tiles in the farm home.
That this Is true is borne out by the
picture and floor plans Of the farm
home shown here. This house could
very easily grace the streets of high

class residential section in a large
town or city.
When a man is building a house,
which in most cases he does only once
in lifetime, he is inclined to con-
slider all angles very carefully. And
to the average farmer there is no
stronger appeal than economy. With
no large sum Of money to expend on
home he wants to get as beautiful
dwelling as possible at the lowest
possible cost. This type of home is
designed for that purpose. Because
Of its square lines which eliminate
any special orders for material, it is
one of the most economical types of
home that can be built. AS is the
general rule in homes of this type, the
roof is hieped.
In this home the broad open front
porch is particularly inviting. The
wide tapering bulkheads and pillars
painted white are very impressive. In

During the war the Germans took from
the invaded territory of France and Bel
GUM every domestic animal except a
few cats and dogs. The best bred ami
mails were sent to Germany. Fat cattle
and sheep were slaughtered and eaten by
the German officers, and scrub stock was
wantonly killed. 1t was the policy of
the Germans to destroy all which they
could not use.
The treaty stipulated that within three
months after it was signed the Germans
should deliver 10000 mich cows to
France and $4,000 to Belgium. This has
not been done.
The women deputies of the German
Parliament have written to the Woman
Suffrage Union of France saying that de-
livering these cows to France would be
signing the death warrants of at least
twenty. five per cent of the German in
fants. France and Belgium did not start
the war. They did nothing to justify OF
even to excuse the ravaging of thei1
fields. Germany was the aggressor, mer-
CHESS and malignant, Not foot of her
soil was invaded and not a domestic ami
NAL was taken from her.
We do not believe the doleful tales Of
poverty which come to us from Germany
but if they are in some degree true, the
same can be said of child mortality in
France and in Belgium and they should
have first aid. Germany should at least
restore stolen property.

out. The natural result is that work
turned out under poor light is poorer
in quality and less in quantity while
the general lowering of the workers
efficiency makes him less alert and,
hence, more liable to injury.
1t has taken the employer longer to
appreciate this condition than the
workman, whose complaints have Of
ten gone unheeded. 1t is a hopeful
sign of the new era of industry that
the movements on foot to better indus
trial life contemplate among the first
steps forward the installation of illu-
limitations which will cut down the

mote the efficiency Of the individual

And makes it great and strong?
What makes it mighty to defy
The foes that round it throng2
Not gold, but only men can make

Hold still and suffer long.

Who dare when others sigh;
They build a nations pillars deep
And lift it to the sky.
