Body of Civil War Victim to Be Re-
moved From Baltimore.
Within a couple of weeks the body
of the first victim of the civil war,
Charles A. Taylor, of Lowell, Mass,
will be, with impressive ceremonies,
exhumed from it's resting place in
the New Methodist cemetery in Bal
timore and removed to Boston. The
body will be delivered to the govern
or of Massachusetts, who will follow
the directions of the Massachusetts
legislature as to it's disposal
Taylor was a member of the Sixth
Massachusetts Regiment of infantry,
which was attacked by a mob upon
it's arrival in Baltimore, at President
and Pratt streets, April 10, 1851.
He was shot and was carried into
the hardware store of the late John
Brown, on the same corner. Suisse
quently he was removed to a hos
pital where he died the same day.
General Jones, who was formerly
lieutenant governor of New York,
was colonel of the Sixth Massachu-
sets at the time. John W. Brown,
who is cooperating with him in the
removal of the body to the victim s
native state, is a son of the man who
gave first aid to the victim.

Acknowledgement Lyon, through So

More Farmers Needed to Prevent

Food Shortage.
If the United States government
would build one or two fewer war
ships a year and put the money thus
saved into model farms all over the
country America would be better off
in preparing for the coming struggle
to feed the millions, says James J.
Hill in the November issue of the
Worlds Work. Urgent measures,
the railroad magnate asserts, are nee
essary, with bread rising in price and
a food shortage already begun in a
land of plenty He advocates the
immediate establishment of at least
1000 model farms of from 40 to so
acres, at a cost of IS, 900 each. Small
farmers, he says, must take the place
of big ones. There must be ten
farmers where now there is but one
America cannot wait. Hill says, for
the work of the agricultural col
leges, because the emergency is one
not for the next generation, but for
this. instruction in improved meth
DDS should be carried to the farmer
just as he is, on his own farm. The
state might profitably employ men
educated in practical agriculture,
provide them with seed selected for
quality, send them to the farms and
have each farmer put in a few acres,
under the direction of its agents, SOW
ing and tilling these according to
their instructions. The great in
crease in both the quantity and quail
ity of the yield would be convincing
education.

A VERY REMARKABLE FEAT
HOW FRUIT GROWERS OF COLO.
RADIO SAVED HARVEST.
Unique Battle Waged Against Jack
Frost Saved Crop Valued at
Three Million Dollars.


The 1909 crop of fruit in the
Grand valley in Colorado, from the
Palisades above to Iona below, val
ued at 100000, owes it's existence
to unique battle which was waged
against Jack Frost at a time when
the fruit was at it's tenderest age.
By unusual generalship and the work
of hundreds of enthusiastic volun-
teers the temperature in these or
chards was actually raised eight and
nine degrees over 81 miles of terri
tory and a precedent was established
which will mean much to the future.
The raising of the temperature
over this large area was accom-
plished by means of some 100000
smudge pots of many different types,
some burning oil for fuel and some
coal, and placed at intervals in the
orchards. Oil was carried to the pots
in wagon tanks equipped for the
purpose. Spraying machines were
also used in distributing the oil. A
large supply of lighters was kept in
readiness in dry place Many of
these lighters were made by wrap
ping waste about a twisted wire.
All operations were directed from
Grand Junction. Weather stations
established over much of the terri
tory and equipped with thermostats
when the threatening weather ar
rived made half hourly reports on
the temperature to Grand Junction.
When finally the danger point was
approaching warning was sent to all
the ranchmen to light the fires.
Volunteers also in nearly all walks
of life made their way in automo-
, biles and wagons and on bicycles
over the entire area.
So well did this orchard heating
idea work that while the tempera-
ture outside the heated area dropped
as low as 20 degrees within the
heated area it did not go below 20 u

the injuries sustained by Miss
Knowles are of a permanent nature.

1t would look as though the troubles

the improvements in making tire
changes advanced until it is now but
matter of seconds instead of minutes,
as formerly, with scrambling over the

The latest development in quick and

Like all articles of merit that have
received the approval of the United

that the idea is original, the Dow is so
simple that the observers who have
seen it operate say anybody could
have thought of that" A turn of less
than six inches in a ratchet lock, a
spring to hold it in place, and the
thine is done. While the rim as yet
has no marked record, a representative

The need of better roads is the les

and the tire expense in the contest are
an argument to the automobile owner
to pay his share for them cheerfully
and save money on tire bills. This is
the statement made by the Diamond
Rubber company, whose annual analy-
sis of the tire cost of the trip is pub
lished today. Various items show the
result of travelling over the rocky trails
and gully-ribbed roads, which for great
distances the tourists encountered. The
average tire cost per car, taking into
account all machines in the trip, the
Diamond company states, was $500.
The record of the thirteen cars which
used Diamond tires, it is announced,
was $26.84 The average of a thousand
service reports on the Diamond pro-
duct in regular work is considerably
less than this, because the general
average of roads is better than the
