Iowa experiment station invented q
new kind Of silo which was called the
Iowa silo This silo is built Of special
ly made hollow tile. 1t is as perma-
nent as cement silo, and much easier
to construct. 1t costs no more than
the best grade Of stave silo and will
last several times as long.
Since this silo was first devised thir-
teen have been constructed In various
parts of the state. A careful account
was kept of actual cost Of construc-
ton. The manner in which the silage
kept was watched carefully. Without
exception these silos are proving salts

STRANGE Case at Rutledse,

Ottumwa, Julq S.-Deputy Sheriff
William Knox. and County Physician
Dr. Fred Bowles. We're called late In
the night to Rutledge, where a strange
case awaited their arrival. A French
man named Joe Blair was in a singular
state OF illness and pain that forbade
his being removed or handled without
great suffering. 1t developed that
some poison had been taken by the
man accidently or otherwise. which
with an over abundance of strong
drink, caused the illness. The man was
unable to move until after the use OF
a stomach pump by the physician,
when relief was almost instantaneous.
Blair was not known In Rutledge and
the cause of his illness Is not definitely
established.

Boone, July S.-Over in Jefferson a
man knows how to do things. At a
family reunion yesterday in that city
he treated his family to genuine sur
prise. A. B. Eicher is the man in ques-
ton and the maner in which he
showed that he appreciated the MEM
bers Of his family. and the way they
were living and bringing UP their fam
lilies wasn't slow. He had invited all Of
his near relatives and their families to
family reunion. After the noon meal
had been served he arose and called
for attention. Now Mr.. Eicher is not
a speech maker and the members of the
family wondered what was coming.
He told the four heads of the families,
all his children, to look. He said that
he had something for them. He hand
ed each an envelope and the childrN,
upon tearing the same open found
checks for $1,000. This made cash
gifts to the children of $4,000. The
completeness Of the surprise was really
pathetic and the children after they had
recovered showered the old man"
with profuse thanks.

TENNESSEE
ENCOURAGES
TUBERCULOSIS
---4G9t---
More Deadly Than Smallpox

II the state of Tennessee were to
encourage the spread of smallpox, sim.
ply by neglecting to quarantine, there
would be a state wide revolt. But
Tennessee is encouraging the spread
of tuberculosis, a disease of much
more frightful fatality, one of frightful
cost TO the individual and family to
support.
DR.. st. John, physician in charge of
the Brushy Mountain branch peniten-
tiary Of Tennessee, stated in his last
report to the prison commissioners,
that tuberculosis caused more deaths
at Brushy Mountain than all other dis
eases combined.
The warden of the main prison
states that a tuberculosis hospital is
a serious need there. but can hardly
be built on account of the congested
condition of the grounds inside the
walls. DIR. st. John pleads for a hos
pital at Brushy Mountain, for tuber-
cular patients, in order that other de-
bilitated prisoners might not be in
fected.
An eminent physician Of this state
says that Tennessee prisons are mod
ell breeding places for tuberculosis.
What seems humane practice Of
pardoning tubercular prisoners has
another appalling side. Prisoners in
the last stages of consumption are
pardoned, sent to their poor homes,
where all conditions are ideal for in
fecting the whole family and those in
their neighborhood. In other words
these prisoners are turned loose to die
and to spread the deathdealing germs
in their community.
What ought to be done with the
convicts of Tennessee is to place
them on the highways, to upbuild our
public roads.
Highway Commissioner Spoon, of
North Carolina, says that the general
moral and physical health of the con-
victs is vastly improved when they
are worked on the highways, and in
that state a great campaign is being
waged to put all of the state convicts
ON the roads.

TOWN HALL

The rs. G. To-, a newly organized
secret society or club in Sequachee,
entertained at the Hall Monday night.
IS. G. t." may stand for "Sequa-
chez Good Timers 'Social Celtic
gethers'', but that is a secret which
none outside of the select few are sup
posed to know. Nevertheless, it is
said that the secret has leaked out,
and, as it is said that girls can't keep
a secret, it is probably due to them
that others outside of the society know
what "S. G, T." stands for.
Invitations were issued as follows:
"The S. G. T. will entertain at the
Town Hall Monday night, December
&c, from $3.50 until 10. Won't you
join us in our merrymaking -
Accordingly the invited guests as
sembled at the Hall at that hour and
found it nicely decorated and prepara-.
tions made for general good time.
Punch was served from an artisticalIy
decorated booth, in which the Club
colors, white and lavender, were
charmingly intermingled. The punch
bowl was presided over by Miss Nellie

FINE LECTURE
BY N. 7. YAMAM0T0

Mr.. NJ. 7. Ysmsmoto. the Japan
ESQ lecturer, gave another of his inter-
esting lectures at Owen Church, be-
fore not very large but very atten-
tive audience. He is greatly improved
over his visit here of nearly two years
ago, and that is saying much, because
he was very entertaining then. He is
going about the country delivering
these lectures, not so much for the
sake of gain. as he always charges
small admissions. but for the sake of
improving his English by constant use
in public, and also to study our ways,
practices and beliefs. 1t is his inten
tion to return to his country, japan.
and there transplant tue best that we
have, for the betterment of his people.
His lecture was a running fire of
comparisons between bis country and
ours, and many interesting points we're
developed. He spoke of the cherry
trees of Japan. which were admired
by that people, not for their fruit
they bear none-but for the symbol
they express of the Japanese race. He
spoke of how the Japanese did their
best by pure grit, an English slang
expression which he admired as ex-
pressing the idea of concentrated, per-
sistent effort. He told of his life his
tory before coming to this country
about which quite romance was
weaved, and it was pity that the
rich Japanese maiden whose hand he
would not take TO come TO this country
did not wait for him Away, as they
do in the novels, and on the stage.
In recitation he is also good and
showed considerable dramatic feeling.
One of his best efforts was from SCOTS
LADY of the Lake., reciting line af
ter line with fine dramatic expression,
first in English and then quickly
changing to Japanese. He has good
voice and knows how to use it, and
while his English is broken, impure
Japanese English as he describes it,
it is not hard to follow him, in fact
his foreign accent is amusing, not only
to his hearers but himself, also, as he
contrary to some people, enjoys to
hear laughter at his expense.
His lecture was easily worth half
a dollar instead of the small admission
charged and those who missed it,
missed treat.
