such materials as localities have
at hand. In aiding and putting
down these roads in the different
sections of the county, the Gov

best educational advantage from
it, and to this end State Day is

Corn plth CeIluIose.

The new battle-ships which have
been launched the past year-Illinois,
Kentucky, Alabama and Wisconsin,
have all been provided with a belt Of
corn-pith cellulose. Each one OF these
new ships is equipped with a belt 3 feet
thick, II feet high, 8 feet above the wa
ter line and 6 feet below the water
line. This belt, which extends around
the entire length OF the ship, requires
about 90 tons of cellulose for each ship.
After the ship has been launched and
the armor bolted on, the feet OF
space between the ribs, known as the
cotferdam, is filled with cellulose
This corn-plth cellulose is rendered
fire proof by chemical process, SC
that she'll that may pass into or
through 1t cannot set it on fire. Nor
can the she'll sink the vessel, because
the water passing into the cellulose,
soon swells it, closing the hole to fur
ther ingress Of water. The shell may
pass clear through both sides OF the
ship below the water-line, but could
not sink it. Without this device a
war-ship would sink almost immedi
ate!y by being pierced below the wa
ter-line. This cellulose is easily OBJ
tanned from corn-stalks. 1t Is very
light and gives extra buoyancy to the
ship. The pure pith of the corn-stalb
is obtained by cutting the joints out
of the stalks, the pieces then being
run between rollers that crack the
| outer casing or shiye aud allowing the
| pith to be extracted in cubes. These
| cubes are cut up into small pieces
After being rendered fire-proof by {
chemical process, it is then pressed in
to blocks and packed in boxes. it il
so light that only three tons can bt
packed into the largest furniture car
1t is calculated that the cellulose belt
in the frame OF the ship is equal to ;
6-inch belt of steel armor in defensive
value.

Farmers are cutting rye this week.
The crop is late in ripening. We
think some are cutting rye In too
green a state. 1t is different in its
nature from wheat. If wheat Is cut
when the straw is not fully ripe the
grain will shrink but little as the sub
stance of the stalk will assist the
plunapness of the berry, but rye when
cut green will shrink. Rye straw will
stand up when fully ripe, SO that
there is no occasion for cutting it
green for fear of 'scrinkling."

Special School Meetlnn


Notices have been distributed an
nouneing a special school meeting for
next Monday evening to vote upon an
addition to the school house. At the
time of the annual meeting the neces-
sity Of such an addition was made APP
parent, but no proposition toward
building 1t was presented, so nothing
was done. Additional room has been
needed for long time, and especially
now since 1t has been found necessary
TO put one Of the primary grades Into
the basement. 1t is believed that the
addition can be put up now at an act
ual saving of several hundred dollars
to the district to say nothing of the
health and comfort Of the pupils. If,
as it is claimed, it can be built now
with no additional tax this year and
no more tax for the ensuing years
than if the building is done year
later, then we see no reason for post
ponment. The room is needed badly.
To build now will be a saving rather
than otherwise to the district. Then
let US build.
