EXPLOSION STARTS FIRE
IN BROADWAY BUILDING
TaiIor'S Rooms Damaged by a
Blaze of Mysterious Origin

Fire, thought to have been caused by
the explosion of gasoline or liquid OF
a similar nature, last night damaged
the stock of NJ. N. Pedicini and Vim
cent Damasi, proprietors of the Paris
ian Tailoring company, rooms 26 and q
Muskegon building, 3O7 South Broad
way, and entailed loss estimated at
$500. There was no one in the place
at the time and the cause of the ex-
plosion is mystery.
The tailoring establishment is direct
ly over the salesroom of the Cawston
ostrich farm, 313 South Broadway, and
is the same room which burglars en-
tered several months ago, sawed
through the floor and stole ostrlch
plumes valued at $500.

FRONT RUDDER TO BIPLANE

FRESNO, Dec. 17.-Glenn II. Curtiss,
in the second day of Fresno's aviation

"By removing the front rudder I ex-
pect to gain speed" said Curtiss today.

which occurred April 10, 1910, be
was 81 years of age; was born in
Nicholas county, KY, removed to
this county when quite a small
child and continued to so reside

I'm public life he was always
courteous, competent and atten-
tive to duty; in private life he was
clean-minded, scrupulously honest
and just in all things; always prac-

than he.
by his death, the bereaved
family have lost valuable men,

official and the community an ex-
emplary citizen.
Respectfully submitted.

In nutritive value artichokes are not
much different from Irish potatoes,
and 1t has been found that Irish po-
tatoes are worth about one-fourth as
much as corn by weight. That is,
for feeding hogs one bushel of corn
is worth four bushels of potatoes.
OF course, this value would only hold
when the quantity OF potatoes fed
was not so great as to disturb or de-
range the digestion of the hog. When
cooked, larger quantities OF these
root crops can be fed, but the hog
can not handle sufficient quantity to
enable him to make satisfactory
gains on these alone When fed in
small quantities TO hogs confined In

ROOT CROPS FOR HOGS.

A correspondent writes asking IL
we would advise the growing OF arti-
chokes for hogs. Now, while arti-
chokes, potatoes. mangels, and other
root crops are good for hogs. the
small amount OF nutriment contained
in proportion to bulk, makes them
less valuable for hog feeding than
for cattle or some other live stock.
