GranAries Hat and Thief Proof.
In some sections of the corn and
wheat growing districts OF Mexico the
rodent pest is so bad that extraordinary
precautions have TO be taken to pre-
vent the destruction Of the crops by
the little animals. Sneak thieving Of
the natives must also be provided
against. Corn and wheat bins OF or
binary construction. such as are used
IN the United States. would not serve
the purpose Of protecting the grain.
Instead Of wooden structures the gran
aries are built of stone and brick. Most
Of them are Of conical shape and vary
in capacity from 500 to 5000 bushels.
The foundations Of these granaries are
sunk deep into the ground. At the top
Of the structure is a close fitting lid
which covers the hole through which
the grain Is emptied into the granary.
The ordinary method Of filling the
storehouse is to have the grain car
ried to the top In sacks upon the backs
Of laborers up steep ladders. At the
bottom Of the granary is a door which
leads into a narrow chamber, which is
separated from the grain room BY q
solid wall Of brick or stone. containing
a Slated opening, through which the
grain is emptied when required. Kan

It seems that thirty states, one after
another, have formally adopted reso-
buttons fayOrlng change In the fed
erai constitution. The moving cause
b. most cases was the demand for
direct voting for United States sena-
tors. The initiative was taken by the
legislature Of Idaho IN 1895.
A vote OF two-thlrds OF the leglsla.
lures Is required TO empower congress
to assemble a constitutional conveu.
ton. There are forty-slx states, and
the requisite two.thlrds will have act
ed ofliclally when the Alabama reso-
buttons reach congress In December.
No legislature has as yet revoked its
previous affirmative resolution. says
the Washington Post. The constltu
ton places no time limit unon the &C.
ton OF a legislature, yet the validity
Of an action taken fourteen years ago
may be questioned. Whether the work
Of the convention when assembled

Osltion behind the call Is also a sub.
Ject for debate. The language OF the
constitution h liberal upon this point
Il Is that congress "shall call con-

NORTHWEST LEADS
IN BANK CLEARINGS
Increase for August Greater
Than Any Other Section.

ST. Paul, Sept 26.-According to
compilations of the bank clearings
from the larger cities of the country
the Northwest makes the best show
ing of any section of the United
States in the amount of clearings for
the month of August, as compared
with the same month in 1909 For the
whole country outside of New York
there was an increase of A per cent,
with decrease of 25 per cent in the
metropolis The gain for the Western
division, including the Twin Cities,
however, was 1871 per cent for the
same period.
In the Western division, as arranged
by Dun & Co., are such cities as st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Sioux City, Cedar
Rapids, st. Joseph, Omaha, Lincoln,
Wichita; Denver, Fargo and Sioux
Falls This is the district which made
gain of more than three times the
average for the entire country.
The Pacific division, including the
rapidly growing cities on the coast
increased their bank clearings last
month by Ia per cent. The gains by
the Western and Pacific divisions,
however, are by far the largest of any
division in the country.

chine chases Boy Down a Street
Until 1t Strikes Tree.
Minneapolis, Sept. 26.-One of the
strangest automobile accidents on rec
ord in Minneapolis occurred when the
shock of an impending collision
brought on heart failure and killed
man at the steering wheel. The ma
chine, after its collision, and with the
dead man still at the wheel, by
weird trick of fate turned a corner
and pursued boy half a block up
the street before it struck a tree
and came TO a stop, battered and
broken.
H. A. Cleveland, fifty-fve years old,
was driving the machine. He was
alone, and was going leisurely out
Third avenue when a farmers wagon
came across Twelfth street in front
of him. Cleveland did not appear to
see the wagon until a collision was
almost inevitable. He grasped the
steering wheel more tightly, shouted
to the farmer and instantly sank down
in the machine, still holding the
wheel.
Dead Man Chases Boy.
The automobile struck the wagon

street Bernard Erickson, thirteen
years old, was crossing the street
when he saw the machine almost on
him. He ran down Twelfth street, but
the machine went after him, its
course, by an odd coincidence, keep
ing it directly on the boys heels.
Finally Erickson lodged behind tree.
The automobile struck the tree with a
crash and stopped.
Firemen of Engine company No. 6,
nearby, who witnessed the accident,
ran to see what could be done. Pipe
