There are very few truly great men who do not list
among their personal acquaintance q good physician.
At first glance it might be thought this selfish on
their part. On closer observation one finds it is far
from the truth
The medical profession has its faults. Certain eth
les. We think. are sometimes too closely binding. But
rs a whole. the character OF men that comprise its
organization are OF the finest calIbre.
The doctor. thrown closer to the bitterness, the
cynicism OF human life. keeps his human touch long
rr than any other person. The successful physician
whose work brings throngs to his office. Is seldom too
busy 10 stoop to charity work. He is the c~onfidant
and advisor Of ALL He rarely breaks faith.
The doctor has humanized his business and ward
cd off the faint OF pure commercialism. It Is no
wonder that many individuals treasure. appreciate and
cultivate such friendships.

WHAT SECCHI DID
BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter

The Italian astronomer Angelo
Secchi. q Jesuit father 1818-1878 /,
made a study of the stars with a
view to classify them after find
ings made with the spectroscope.
He examined many hundreds Of
stars down to the eighth magni-
tude, and had the results printed
in a catalogue. Secchi classified
all Of the stars under four heads
or types: type one included all Of
the white stars, such as Sirius and
Vega: type two embraced the yellow
stars, such as Capella and Arcturus;
type three. the orange or reddish
stars like Betelgeuse and Antares;
type four consisted OF telescope

The Once Over
II NEXT BIG NAVAL ENGAGEMENT
Copyright. 1880. by The Associated Newspapers

Scene: Pacific Ocean. Time: About 1910. The
British and Japanese governments have declared war
and hoStihties between the two fleets are about TO be-
gin under the rules and regulations reached at the
naval limitations parley.
MeSsaged from Japanese Admiral:
Admiral Mahatsu presents his compliments to Ad-

prepared to accept battle as per adopted schedule?
Message from British Admiral:
Admiral Wheemish thanks Admiral Mahatsu for
his kind message and begs to state that the battle
had entirely slipper his mind. He thinks, however,
that he can arrange to participate if the Japanese
admiral insists.

Reply:
Understand you have three submarines to my two.
What do you think we had better do about this in

NEW HARVESTER PUTS
CUT GRAIN IN STACKS

Something still newer than the com.
bine in small grain harvesting ma
chinery was given its first trial in
Minnesota this summer. A. J.
Schwantes, farm machinery specialist
University Farm, explains that the
new machine is drawn by tractor
and is operated by one man in addi-
tion to the tractor driver.
The machine cuts swath 10 feet
wide and delivers the grain into a
circular tank seven feet in diameter
and about four and one-half feet high
The base of the tank revolves as the
grain is deposited in it and when the
tank is full the rear portion auto
matically opens up and a completed
stack is pushed out onto the ground
Each stack holds about one-third
as much grain as an ordinary bundle
load. The stacks are left in the field
for a week or more during which
time the grain is cured as it Ordin-
arily would be in the shock. A buck
rake is used to haul the stacks and
the recommended practice is to as
semble them before threshing so that
very little hauling at threshing time
is necessary. The threshing is done
with stationary machine, preferably
one with special feeder.
The advantages in this new method,
according to Mr.. Schwantes, are the
saving in Irvine, the saving in labor
for shocking, and the small number
of teams used in threshing. Another
advantage claimed for the machine
is that the straw is stacked by the
thresher, making it available for live
stock bedding.
After observing one of the machines
in operation on a Renville county
farm, Mr.. Schwantes makes the state
ment that the grain losses resulting
from this method of harvesting are
relatively small. The machine is
quite efficient in cutting and very few
heads are left on the ground. AL
though some heads are found in the
stack locations, after the stacks are
hauled off, the amount of grain lost
at these places is small in COMPARE
son with the usual losses in other
methods of harvesting.
