He ts going to do this by supplying the previously missing link between the scientific Investizator, who consid- ers processes, and the business man who’ must measure costs and related “problems. This missing link is a force of industrial engineers, Secretary BE. T. Meredith of the de partment of agriculture. on the sugges: tion of Dr. Carl L. Alsberg: chief of the bureau of. chemistry, bas created a new service—office of: development work—with a staff of engineers: It is under the direction of David J. Price, who was chief engineer in the dust explosions investigations con- ducted by the department. The idea is to translate through this new service the discoveries and inven- tions by the ‘scientific investigators into terms that can be understood and applied in the industry on a commer- cial basis by the manufacturer and in- ventor. Such discoveries ure being made ev- ery year concerning the utilization of manufacturing waste; a new food sub- stance is found, or a new dye formu- la, a glue or a preservative. In the commercial and industrial de velopment, of these many valuable -Processes and inventions they fre- quently have not been given a fair ‘trial because they were not at once practical. , The: application in the arts and in- dustries of such discoveries requires the calculation of source and quantity of supply and cost of production, | transportation and manufacture— which fs really an industrial engineer- ing problem. So the plan of the officials of the de partment of agriculture is to allow the scientist and researcher to proceed to the point where he is able to announce that. a certain process is effective. — FOR SALE One Overland, Model 86, Equipped with Six Cylinder Continental Motor.

Chatham islands in. the Galapagos group. On Chatham island the Carawa struck a reef. Her stern post and rud- der were torn away and she began to leak badly. The crew made for shore and watched their boat sink. The men lived in a tent made from canyas from the ship and subsistei! on canned meat and potatoes. The food supply was limited and sleep was out of the question on account of the mos- quitoes. In addition, convicts on the island stole the castaways’ belongings. After four weeks a schooner carrying cattle and ‘hogs picked the men up and landed them at Guayaquil. Here they shipped on a steamer for Colon, where the Australian government liner \ Australange, bound to Sydney, picked them up early in July.

The trap consists of a gal- vanized tank 16 feet long with a perpendicular screen several feet high at the back. It fs mounted on two small wheels, pulled by two horses, and the tank is filled with kerosene and soap. Mr. Larkin caught 100 bushels of grasshoppers. ‘ ¢ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ’ Ud ‘ ¢ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ , ‘ * He wemececcneens POeeerererererreririi icy Large Catfish.

Neither the state nor the national banking systems under the law can compete in any way for the’ public funds. During a period of adversity the public funds have been of vital im- portance to country banks, but as a rule such deposits only functioned as customers balances in the credit scales. The public indebtedness of local political divisions, in form of war- rants, taxed the resources of the coun- try banks much delayed the propor- tional public deposits. At this coming Nevember election a law is to be voted on initiating and amending the mandatory law giving the Bank of North Dakota a monopoly of county, school district and town- ship funds, and instead of that, mak- ing it optional with the counties, school districts and townships to de- posit such funds in local banks or with the Bank of North Dakota‘ as théir interests may appear. .

A threat is conveyed by Mr. Cathro solicit general deposits from the peo- ple to supplement their monopoly of public funds. Why not?
