REASON FOR HIGH
PRICED BINDERS
FARMERS SHOULD LEARN TO DO
A LITTLE "ExPERTINc" THEM
SELVES, SAYS A. c. PROFESSOR
COSTS MORE TO SELL MACHINE
THAN TO MAKE 1T.

The cost of manufacturing harvest
Ing machines has been reduced to a
minimum, SO that IL their cost, which
Is often complained of by the farmer,
is to be materially reduced, some other
means than that of lowering the cost
Of production must be resorted to-"
said r. M. Dolve, professor or engineer
ing at the Agricultural college, today.
1T is conseTvatively estimated that
1T costs more to sell a binder and to
collect the money for it than 1t does
to manufacture it. The farmer is to
large extent responsible for this state
OF affairs, for by his attitude he forces
the companies who wish to do busi-
ness with him to maintain an extensive
and complicated sales and collecting
department when he might as well deal
with the company more directly.
The companies are also forced to
maintain large corps of experts to
not only set up and start new machines
but to repair old ones. During the
months of harvest these men may be
found in every town and village where
Gal VAAIy AlAebltlLdluGus EACH expert
costs the company employing them on
an average Of IS a day and it often
costs the company several dollars to
have these men drive out only to re-
place worn knotter pinion or tighten
a few loose bolts.
"The companies pay for the services
of these men, but 1t is ultimately coll
lected from the farmer by being added
to the price of his machinery. Binders
are now so simple and effective that
there is little excuse for calling on
experts, and the farmer who habitually
does so reflects on his own intelligence
Under the present system the farmer
who repairs his own machines is justly
entitled to rebate, and if all farmers,
by studying the mechanism of their
binders, would become their own binder
experts, a substantial reduction in the
present price of harvesting machinery
could be justly expected"

DOCTOR HURT in
AEROPLANE FALL

New York, Aug. 4.--Dr. H. Walden,
an amateur aviator, was seriously in
jured at Garden City, L. l., while test
ing a new monoplane. He had been
encircling the aviation field for a half
hour when something went wrong with
the craft and it dropped fifty feet to
the ground. The physician was I'M
conscious when removed from the
wrecked monoplane and was hurried to
hospital. $50 .
When the surgeons examined DR..
Walden they found his collar bone, left
arm, right wrist, left leg and his right
ankle broken.
Experienced aviators told him his
monoplane was not properly designed
and warned him he would get hurt If
he attempted to fly, but he smilingly
insisted that he would fly safely.

PRISONS BREED
TUBERCULOSIS
1900 CONSERVATIVES IN THE
PENAL INSTITUTIONS or THE
couNTRN-FoR THIS LARGE
NUMBER THERE ARE ONLY
300 BEDS FOR TREATMENT

That there are. 10000 tuberculous
prisoners In the state, federal and
local prisoners and jails of the United
States, with less than twenty-five spe.
cial institutions and hardly 500 beds
for their treatment, are some of the
charges made by the National Associa.
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis in the following bulletin
issued today:
From several Investigations that
have been made, it is estimated that
on an average about fifteen per cent
of the prison population Of the country
is afflicted with tuberculosis. On this
basis, out of the $4,000 prisoners hous-
ed in the penal institutions of contin.
entail United States at any given time
not less than 10000 are infected with
this disease. If the Philippine Islands
and other insular possessions were
taken into consideration, the number
would be much larger. Some of the
prisons of Pennsylvania, Kansas and
Ohio show such shocking conditions
with reference to tuberculosis that
wardens admit that these places OF
detention are deathtraps. Similar con-
ditions could be found in almost every
state, and in the majority of cases the
only sure remedy is the destruction OF
the old buildings and the erection OF
new ones.
Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment OF
their tuberculous prisoners. These in
stitutions can accommodate, however
only 500 patients. In three-fourths OF
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner is allowed freely to in.
feet his fellow prisoners, very few re-
strictions being placed upon his habits
When the congregate mode Of prison
life is considered, the danger of infec.
ton becomes greater than in the gem
eral population. New York and Mas
sachusetts are the only states where
any systematic attempt has been made
to transfer all tuberculous prisoners to
one central institution. The largest
prison tuberculosis hospital is in Man
liza, where accommodations for zoo
prisoners are provided. The next larg
est is Clinton prison hospital in New
York, which provides for $50.
The fact that 100000 prisoners are
discharged from the jails and prisons
of the country annually, and that from
10 to Is per cent of them have tuber-
culosis, makes the problem of provid
ing special places for their treatment
while they are confined serious one
So important is the problem that the
prison association of New York in CO,
operation with the State Charities Aid
association is preparing to inaugurate
a special campaign for the prevention
Of tuberculosis in the penal institu
tions of the state, and will seek to en-
list the cooperation Of all prison ply
sicians and anti-tuberculosis societies

the president of the school board take
UP the subject of securing an Office in
the city hall for school purposes, this
to be used as an Office for the proposed
secretary, and that vault be placed
therein, II the room could be secured.
1t was shown that the coming term
would see seventy-two teachers in the
schools, more than ever before in the
history of the schools of this city, and
that this alone would give Mr.. Hoover
all he could attend to. Mr.. Smith said
that the city had outgrown the present
system of conducting the school bust
ness and he wanted to see the business
end Of the school and the instruction
department divorced. The matter was
discussed at length, and the business
committee was instructed to communi-
cate with other cities to ascertain how
the matter OF business was conducted
and President Holt was asked to take
up the question Of getting a room in
the city hall with Mayor Lowell.
Buy Drinking Cups.
DR.. Carpenter, of the committee on
health and hygiene, reported that he
had secured sample of a sanitary
drinking cup which was made of para
fined paper and that each cup would
cost about 1 cent each. He recon-
mended the purchase Of the same, and
said that the teachers could be given
the cups and then hand them out to
each pupil. He thought each cup with
little care could be made to last a
week. He also reported that the Fargo
and Detroit Water and Ice Co. had Of
fered to supply the Pokegama water
at 4 cents a gallon, which was / cent
less than it supplied the private con-
sumner, but he thought the price was
too high. The report was received and
the purchasing committee was in
structed to buy the sanitary drinking
cups, but nothing was done in regard
to the offer of the water company.
The president and secretary were in
structed to advertise for bids for coal
for heating the different school build
ings for the coming school term. The
bills for the past month we're read and

ONLY SMALL GAIN
IN BANK cLEARANcEs.

The bank clearances for the
week ending today at noon reach
ed the sum Of $764,456.s0. and for
the corresponding week of last
year, the clearances amounted to
$7b7,617.66, which Is difference of
$6,SS9'17 in favor Ut the present
week. This small increase over
last year is accounted for by
the fact that the banks OF the city
closed at 1890 all last week, thus
making shortage in the bank
ing hours. The bank clearances
for today amounted to $145,656.56.

Corners also made it plain that while he had apologized to the commit tee for his ''infirmities of temper and said that he had said many things in the heat of passion which were hardly true, he had refused flatly to specific ally withdraw the allegation that judgships in New York City have been the objects of commerce.

FAMILY FLEES AS
 CANAL BOAT SINKS

Norwalk. Feb. 25.-The sinking of the large canal boat Kate W. Woods at the Wilson Point dock at il o'clock last night, came near being fatality as well as serious loss in. that Cap tain and Mrs. John Swift and Mrs. Swift's father came near being drown ed in their beds as they slept.
 Being awakened by crashing sound and by the noise of the water as it rushed into the boat, the three occupasts of the boats cabin had barely time to grab up a few of their effects and jump to the dock when the boat sank beneath the water At high tide only the top of the cabin is visible.
 The Woods is a new boat and is owned by the New England Transpor- tation Company with headquarters at No. 1, Broadway, New York. She is loaded with 750 tons of coal for John Mccarthy. The Baxter Wrecking Company has been notified and the work of raising the boat will be com pleted by night

personal candidate, John A. Dix, is decared today to be definitely out of the running, and there is a renewal of sentiment in favor of placing at the head of the committee Thomas M. Os- borne now head of the Democratic State League.
 The presidential boom of Mayor Wil- liam J. Gaynor of this city, is today safeguarded in the coming campaign. Gaynor will not run for Governor a1- though he could have the nom: nation without opposition. but he will con tinue as mayor and try to keep the city in the limelight. It is planned to have the state convention refer with pride" to his administration and hold him up as a model for all public officials and incidentally mske him the big feature of the next state conveh- tion. Then, if a Democratic State Tic ket is elected, the mayor will dwarf the governor, no matter who he will be and will be the choice of the state delegation to the next national con- vention.
 The "safe and sane" Democracy, as they are characterized by the radicals. will run things inside of the party and an immediate fight is to be made on the Hearst machine. Politicians are today freely predicting an alliance be- tween the Republicans and the Hearst men in the next falls campaign. This alliance, it is declared, is already be- ing arranged.
