Scientific farming has brought
about scientific inventions; they %
hand in hand. 1t is easily plain to
anyone that a silo should be COL
structed Of material that makes it
air tight, that will not warp, shrink
or swell.
The Polk system Of constructing
coment silos is on innovation. 1t is
certainly marked Improvement over
any other system that has beel de-
vised. The Polk Genung, Polk COM
any, Incorporated at Fort Branch.
nd, explained to us that the Cement
Silo when properly constructed under
the Polk system is a slo forever. 1t
is not al expense. The work it does
makes it saving. The first cost is
the last cost. There is no paining,
no adjustment of hoops, no fire risk,
no setting up after a wind storm, no
rotting, nor shrinking or swelling
In fact its life is limitless.
There are vital points if you are
considering the erection of a slo.
There are great many other good
points in favor of this system all of
which will be carefully explained 10

opened with the Polk, Genung, Polk
company a Fort Branch, Ind.
These people are the sole owners
Of the Polk system Of reinforced con.

attention and which has been passed
upon by scientific experts as a most
thoroughly perfect and complete
system.
The firm is one Of the most reput-
able and highly rated in the State of
Indiana. Their contracts will be
carried out absolutely according to
agreement, and it is a pleasure on the
part Of this newspaper to commend
them and their system as worthy of
the consideration Of those who may

\ Bows Chances

The United States Steel Corporation
recently elected a new president. 1t
chose for the position, which com
mands a salary of fifty thousand dol
lars year, man, still comparatively
young, has worked his way up from
the bottom Of the steel ladder, having
entered the mill as boy, at the usual
boys wages, and gone successively
through every stage Of work and
progress since.
During the same week in which the
steel company elected its new presi-
dent, Ex-Governor Black, Of New
York addressed a gathering of the
bankers Of New York City. II the
course of his address he said
'TWenty-tive years ago the majority
of young men were earning less mon
ey Chan bricklaycrs receive today"
No one of the company disputed
him, for the statement was true. The
bankers present, almost without cX-
ception, had begun work on wages o.
four dollars week, which is the
usual pay for boy i'm a bank.
The two incidents, coming in the
same week and the same city, are
chiefly interesting for the light they
throw on that old, old question of the
boys chances today. They must be
regarded as confirming the opinion
SO often expressed by Mr.. Carnegie,
Mr.. James j. Hill, the late Mr.. Har-
riman, Mr.. Edison, and others who
have attained the highest CONNER
Cial success, that there has never been
a time in the history of the world
when a boy had SO good a chance as
he has today.
