THE IOWA SlLO.

Two years ago the agricultural en-
gineering section of the Iowa Expert
ment Station invented new kind
of silo which was called the Iowa silo.
This siloEis built of specially made
hollow tile 1t is as permanent as a
cement silo, and much easier to con-
struct. IL costs no more than the
best grade of stave silo and will last
several times as long.
Since this silo was first devised
thirteen have been constructed in
various parts of the state A careful
account was kept of actual cost of
construction. The manner in which
the silage kept was also watched
carefully. Without exception these
silos are proving satisfactory.
Bulletin III of the Iowa Experiment
Station has just been received from
the press. 1t gives complete figures
on the cost of the thirteen Iowa silos
that have been constructed. Com
plete directions for putting up an
Iowa silo are given. By following
these, any mason, or any farmer who
has had any experience with brick or
cement work, can put up a satisfac.
tory silo.
The bulletin is free and may be
had by applying to Director c. F..
Curtiss, Ames, Iowa.

THE STARE CONVENTION.

Attorney General Byers suggests,
and his position is endorsed by the
Register and Leader, that the state
republican convention shall refuse to
allow district eaucuses to select their
own committeeman. The purpose OF
his suggestion is for the insuTsent
majority in the state convention to
capture control of the state commit
tee. Six counties in the Sixth Con-
.gressional district were carried at the
priamries and also in the county con.
ventions against the insurgents. 1t
is now proposed that though there :.
only one 'insurgent county in the
district, the convention shall over
throw. all precedent, and in effect let
this one county dominate the other
six. No such high handed proceed
ing has ever yet been adopted in
republican state convention. either
prior to or under the primary law.
1t has always been the custom of
delegates to state conventions to
hold district caucuses prior to the
opening of the convention. and select
their member of the state central
committee and other district officers.
And up to the present time 1t has
always been customary for the con-
vention to accept these selections
without any question or quibbling.
II Mr.. Byers and other ill-advised
leaders attempt to break this estab-
lished rule they will stir up a bad
mess. ....
While the insurgents appear to
have secured a majority of the dele
gates to the convention. they should
not lose sight of the fact that ma
jority of the vote cast at the pri-
maries in June was against them,
and that many of the delegations to
state conventions were divided by
compromise or in Difference to the
wishes of local nominees in various
localities. In Washington county, for
instance. the insurgents were greatly
in the minority. But because Cliff
ford Thorne as candidate for railroad
commissioner would likely have to
go before the convention to secure a
nomination, he was permitted to
name his own delegates. He chose
a solid insurgent delegation, thus
classifying the will of the majority as
expressed at the primaries. In War
rem county small fraction of less
than one vote Ia the county conven-
ton turned that county over to the
insurgents when the regulars had
carried it with an emphatic major
ity at the primaries. In Judge Town
er's county of Adams compromise
changed the position of the county.
II the insurgents are in control of
the convention it will be expected OF
them that they will dominate the ac-
tions Of the convention, but if an at
tempt is made 10 root out the es.
tablished customs of the republican
party and tear the fabric of organiza.
ton into threads, great harm must
result.

ENGLISH AVIATOR
FALLS TO DEATH
Charles Stewart Rolls Killed at
Bournemouth.
MACHINE BUCKLES UP IN AIR
Aeronaut PIunges Downward One
Hundred Feet in Sight Of
Many Friends in Grand
Stand.

Bournemouth, England, July i3.--
The first flying machine tournament
of the year in England was brought to
tragic close by the dramatic death
of the most daring and popular Brit
ish aviator, Hon. Charles Stewart
Rolls, third son of Lord Llangattock,
and who recently made fight from
Dover to France and return.
In the presence of great company
Of spectators, a majority Of whom
were women and children, and many
personal friends of the young aviator,
the Wright biplane on which he was
flying fell suddenly with terrific speed
from a height of 100 feet.
1t struck the ground close to the
crowded grand stand, smashed into a
tangled mass, and before the doctors
and their assistants could reach the
spot Rolls was dead.
Engaged in Alighting Contest.
The event in which Rolls was COM
peting was for prize for the aviator
alighting nearest a given mark. The
goal was directly in front of the grand
stand where the spectators were
massed. He had risen to good
height, then shut off his motor and
was gliding in broad circle toward
the mark. .... -.
Without warning the tail piece of
the biplane snapped off. The machine
gave a sudden lurch, and the frame
work crumpled up in the air. When
it struck the ground It was smashed
to splinters. The doctors found that
Rolls had sustained fractured skull.
The wreck of the machine and
twisted stays surrounded the body, so
that there was difficulty in extrica-
ting it.
Lord and Lady Llangattock, the par
ents of Rolls, narrowly escaped wit
Messing the tragedy. They were yacht
ing along the coast and put in at
Poole. near Bournemouth, intending to
attend the aviation meeting. but post
poned going until later.
FavorIte Among Sportsmen.
Rolls was SO years old, and was one
of the most popular young aIl-around
sportsmen in England. His death will
he great blow to the aristocratic
sporting enthusiasts, with all OF whom
he was a great personal favorite. AT
ballooning, at motoring and later in
the field of aviation he had distin-
glIished himself by his utter fearless
ness, and was satisfied with nothing
short of record-breaking in whatever
line of sport he took up. n"
Undoubtedly his browning feat was
his round trip across the channel be-
tween Dover and Calais in a Wright
biplane on June 2 last. Two French
men, Louis Bleriot and Count de Les
sep, already had crossed the channel,
and Hubert Latham had almost sue
ceeded. .. ~.

and sold steady at that price until
toward the close, when selling was
slow at the advanced price. The

extra fine butchers stock. Aside from
this one load the high price was 1925.
There was no quality in the cattle

the opening and ii was good hard
work on the part OF sellers to save
an even further cut Good beef cat
tie did not suffer from the cut. Top

Sheep had to stand for another bat
tering of prices today when they fell
all along the line from rs to 15c be-
low yesterday and were slow sellers
at that. Prices tomorrow promise to
go lower.

Market Notes.

Most of. the cattle on the market
Tuesday consisted of Texans and but
cher stock. The demand was not
strong for one thing and prices were
steady, though business was draggy
and slow. Buyers acted as If the had
no orders to fill, having satisfied all
the urgent demand with the big run
Monday. No good steers were includ-
ed in the light receipts and sales We're
mainly of low quality steers.
Stockers and feeders sold steady,
bpt the tendency of the market was
weak. The demand was moderate
from the country and the supply on
hand quite large. Most of the offer.
ings consisted of light weight stock
ers, which we're not favored. Buyers
preferred the good heavy feeders,
which were comparatively scarce.
Hog receipts we're light Tuesday,
but then there were enough to fill the
demand. Packers still showed their
hostility towards the heavy grades,
though because the run was small
they sold at close to steady rates, with
the tendency downward. Good light,
on the other hand, sold pretty well
with an upward slant, but they we're
decidedly in the minority.
While receipts of shee were liberal
with a cut of about loo from Mon
days prices they were so low that
buyers felt the stuff was worth the
money and they took hold rather free.
~ and business moved with more ala
Gritty. The good qualities were taken
freely, but the common light sheep
and lambs moved slower.

Tuesday, $S72, against 1914 Monday.

Big marketing of hogs started late
last week failed to continue. The
price breaks put a check on liquida-
ton and as result of small Tues
day supply values were held largely
at Mondays decline. The demand
was strong for light and butcher
grades, however, and these showed
strength in closing rounds, good to
