given is to be Incorporated in club
drawings. and the child who includes
it in tho best bit OF work will be given
a prize. You can hide 1t In puzzle
form, il you desire, and have other

adopted.

very clever contribution TO tho puzzle
column, written by Lucy j. Robertson,

Last summer my mother was sick.
SO she sent my little brother and me
to tide country to spend a few weeks
so she could have quiet. We had a
jolly time. We would get UP early
In the morning and help the boys to
feed the chickens. and then we thought
1t such fun to sec them milk. They
had two cows, and they would fill a
big bucket with milk every morning
and night. We got SO fat that mother
didn't know US. for the milkmuu would
let us drink milk out of the bucket.

CROPS WILL BE LARGE
,cretnry Wilson Declares Conai''ons

Secretary Wilson Declares Conditions
In West Are Satisfactory.
washington, D. c.. September "
business and agricultural conditions
throughout the West and Northwess.
are notably prosperous. The crops TINS
year scarcely will be bumper crops y,
the ordinary sense of that term, put
they will be very large
This statement was made to-day
by Secretary Wilson OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture. who. returned TO-
day from an extensive trip consuming
practically two months, through the
country west of the Mississippi River.
"The corn crop will be made, now
within a couple of weeks" continued
Secretary Wilson. "Recently the
weather conditions have been very "a,
vorable and If frost should hold OF
two weeks longer, the crop Will be
good average, although, as said, not
a bumper, All of the crops areefairly
good; better, perhans, than we had
reason to exnect earlier In the year.
The wheat crop is threshing out finely.
and is OF excellent quality. Oats are
good, but the crop is not very large.
"People throughout the sections
which I visited are well satisfied with
conditions. They are making money.
and are contented With general bpsi-
ness conditions" -A

Built after the Roman Doric style
Of architecture, the building covers
the area bounded by Seventh and
Eighth Avenues, and Thirty-iirst and
the property on both streets is 700 feet
building Is TSS feet inches, thus al
lowing for extra wide sidewalks on
both avenues. The walls extend for
$50 feet 6 inches from Thirty-flrst
Street to Thirty-second Street. The
main body OF the building rises rs
feet above the street level
In designing the building, the arch!-
tects sought to express, so far as was
practicable, with tracks lar below
the street surface, and In the absence
of the conventional train shed. the
exterior of great railway station In
a generally accepted form, and the
character of monumental gateway to
a great metropolis.
Uniuue Rnilroa& Station.
Apart from these two ideas. the sta
ton was designed to give the greatest
number OF lines OF circulation. The
structure is really monumental bridge
over the tracks, with entrances to the
streets on the main axes and on ali
four sides. In this respect this build
ing is unique among railway stations
of the world.
Available for traffic in the station are
twenty-one tracks, having increased
rapidly from the two tubes under the
Hudson River. To the east they con-
verge again to the four tunnels leading
to Long Island, under the Herald Square
district, the busiest spot in the world.
The work Of the station, inclosIng
eight acres of ground. was completed
on July 3D. 1909. To inclose this area
necessitated the building of exterior
walls, aggregating 2,45S feet-nearly
half "a mile-in length and required
100000 cubic feet of pink granite In
addition there have been utilized in
side the concourse 10000 cubic feet Of
stone.
In addition to the granite. the con-
struction of the building called for
the use of 27.0O0 tons of steel and 49,
100000 bricks. Weighing $4,000 tons
The first stone of the masonry work
on the building was laid Juno 10, 1905
The entire masonry was thus completed
in about thirteen months.
