BABCOCK AND BURTON
TWO INTERESTING FIGURES IN
sPEAKERsHIP CONTEST.
Uncertainty Of Their Position-Alleged
Division in Wisconsin Delegation
Heir to Dalzell's Votes.

Two interesting figures in the speakership
contest now are Mr.. Babcock of Wisconsin
and Mr.. Burton of Ohio. The uncertainty
Of their position is what lends interest to
their part in the campaign. Neither has
been certain whether he would go into the
fight or not. Both have been sounding
their prospects and the deep-sea lead has
been kept going to seek out a clear channel
to the Speakers chair.
When Mr.. Babcock left here a few days
ago it was known that he would not enter
thu race until he could see his way clear to
making a fight with fair prospect of win
ming. The possible attitude of some infiu-
ential delegations was to be ascertained-
that is, an effort was to be made to learn
whom those delegations would support for
second choice in case their first choice
failed of election.
It was the understanding among Mr. Bah
cocks friends that he would not declare
himself until the probable position of those
delegations could be forecasted. The inti-
nation conveyed in press dispatches from
Wisconsin that his own delegation was not
solid for him was disquieting news to his
friends in congressional circles here but
the report was not accepted as final.
Possible Strong Rival of Cannon.
Mr.. Burton of Ohio is regarded as posi-
BILE strong rival Of Mr.. Cannon if he decides
to enter the race, for the reason that he
would divide the conservative tariff vote
which Mr.. Cannon is said to have been
counting upon. In the event of Mr.. Dali
zell's withdrawal, if he should find he could
not swing the west, it is thought that Mr..
Burton might get some votes from Penn
sylvania and New York unless another can
didate already has them pledged 1t is
thought here that Mr.. Burton is likely to
get into the fight if he can be assured of
COL Fro he dol tir,,
That probably is what he now is figuring
on, together with ascertaining how much
he can depend upon New York and Penn
SylVania in certain circumstances.

able. There are, however, many square
and rectangular silos in successful Op-
Grafton Especially is this the case
with those having rounded corners
Where great strength and large capac-
ity are demanded the frame circular
silO will best meet the requirements.
This form of silo can be made quite
durable by plastering the inside with
cement. The circular stave silO, owing
to it's simplicity and economical con-
struction, seems to fully meet the re-
quirements of the farmer. With this
form of silo properly erected the waste
of silage is reduced to the minimum.
Perhaps more serious losses have re-
suited through lack of proportion be-
tween the size of the silo and the
amount Of silage fed daily than from
any other cause. The mistake is very
generally made in having the exposed
surface too large. An excellent rule is
to so construct the silo that the hOri-
zontal feeding area for each cow will
not exceed five or the extreme limit of
six square feet.
Hoops for the silo can be made of
any suitable material. such as half
inch, seven sixteenths inch or five
eighths inch round iron, one-eighth
inch flat iron two inches wide or wire.
For silo twelve feet or less in diane
ter seven-siXteenths inch round iron
will be sufficient. The round hoops
are more generally used and give good
satisfaction. These can be put on in
sections and held in position by means
of Jugs or may be fastened in stud
ding, as shown in the second cut. The
woven wire fence hoop is often used
since it is regarded as being. very eco
nomical.
Doors may be simply sawed out, as
shown in the first cut, or made con-
tinuous from the bottom to the top of
the silo. The latter form will slightly
increase the cost of the silO, but it is
thought to possess sufficient advan-
tages over the former to more than JUS
tify the additional expense. The saw
ed out doors may be ranged one above

An Ob1iging Caller.

When M. Clemenceau was in the
French chamber of deputies, he be-
came, for some reason the idol Of the
workingman; but his popularity, ac-
cording to the course of nature,
brought it's penalties. He was be-
sieged by all sorts of people, who came
merely to ask questions, and some
times they were questions Of the most
trivial Sort
He was originally a doctor, and
used to give advice for nothing at GER
tain hours of the day. One morning a
workingman entered his room, and
Clemenceau said, without looking up
from his writing:
"Take off your coat and shirt. I'll
attend to you directly"
Three minutes later he found the
man had stripped to the waist.
''There is nothing the matter with
YOU" said the doctor, when he had
made an examination.
Il know there isn't" returned the
man.
''Then what did you come here for?
''TO consult you on political queS-
tom
"But what did you strip for?"
II thought you wanted an illustra-
ton of the emaciated body of the man
who lives by the sweat of his brow
The political question remained un-
answered NJ Clemenceau was too eX-
asperated to do more than tell the man
to dress and go home.-Youth's Com
panion.

He Learned.

An instructor in English In the

at faculty tea where Professor
Blank was adjoining the occasion in
his usual irresistible way. The pro-
fessor, it is claimed, does not realize
lust how effective his charming talk
and romantic eyes are. In the course
of the afternoon he was introduced to
an especially attractive young wom-
en-, whose name, being mumbled in
the presentation, he did not catch. The
two repaired to a sofa, where Profess
sor Blank was so thoroughly pleased
with his new acquaintance that he
determined to find out who she
was
"You must forgive me-" he began,
tactfully, "but / am going to ask you
a personal question. Please do tell
me what your name is"

with large, timid eyes moment, and
then whispered sweetly, Ethel. >
