ENTERTAINs THE FARMERS
A Luncheon, Then A Lecture On
Steel Posts.

In response to two hundred
and fifty invitations issued by
Albert Gillen, a large number of
farmers attended the luncheon
and smoker at The Nickel Home
Saturday. After the inner man
had been satisfied and the cigars
had been passed, George w.
Schweich, representing the A
merican Steel & Wire Company,
Instructed those present in the
use and adaptability of the A
merican Steel Fence Post.
This method in reaching the
ear OF the farmer is something
new, and no doubt, will be the
means in introducing into this
community an article that will
ill a long felt want with the
farmers, and solve a most diff
cult problem in fence building.

Day celebration to be held on
Bunker Hill.
A program Of local events and
pay attractions will make the oc-
casion one of special interest
and large crowds are expected
from all the surrounding towns.
The feature attraction of the
day will be the athletic show.
The wrestling bout between
William LeJeune, Lexington's
candidate for the worlds cham
pionship in his class, and Doug
las Park of Kansas City, will be
the top-liner in the athletic
events. In addition to this there
will be another wrestling match
and two boxing bouts. Alderman
John Perry will be in charge of
the athletic tent which is a guar
antee that everything will be
pulled off as scheduled and
everybody get a run for their
money.
Another attraction worth
while that will cost the local a
snug scrap Of money is the bal

balloonists in the country. The
local committee informs The

many labor day celebrations and
we hope weather conditions will
be propitious for a glorious good
time.

The Concrete silO.

1t has been made part of the
duty of the Dairy Department of
the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture to assist the farmers of this
state in constructing silos. The
College has no interest in any
particular kind of silo but tries
to give unprejudiced informa-
ton concerning all kinds that are
adapted to the state. The Col
lege is interested only in having
= large number of good silos
built regardless of what kind
they may be.
Since there are no dealers in
concrete silos or agents distri-
buting information in regard to
them the farmers Of the state
have to rely largely upon the
College Of Agriculture or infor-
nation about building this type
o silo. The assistance offered
ly the College is in the nature
of supplying plans for forms, Civ
inc estimates for materials and
as far as possible sending a man
tc assist in starting the con
struction Of the silo. The De-
pertinent of Dairy Husbandry
has been led to give special at
tention to supplying informa-
ton concerning the concrete silo
on account of the misrepresenta-
ton this type of silo has received
at the hands of agents for other
kinds.
Every silO which has been built
according to the plans supplied
by this department has been sue
cessful. Contrary to reports
circulated by certain silo agents
not a single concrete silo built
under College supervision has
cracked. Among dozens of con
crete silos that have been built
in this state only four have
cracked and this resulted from
insufficient reinforeement These
silos were repaired by putting
hoops on the outside and filling
the cracks with cement and are
used today with success. If a
concrete silo is properly rein
forced there is absolutely no
danger of its cracking.
The farmers are also informed
that silage will not keep in con
crete Silos which statement has
no foundation. Reports from
over forty farmers using concrete
silos in Missouri state that their
silage keeps perfectly, One con
crete silo on a farm near Colum-
bia has been used five years and
the owner says that not bushel
of silage has been spoiled in that
length Of time. The College Of
Agriculture has been entirely un-
able to locate a concrete silo
where the silage has not kept
when it was put into it in the
proper condition.

COL. ROOSEVELT
WINS VINDICATION
Nominal Damages Awarded After
Editor RetrdCts.

Marquette, Mich, June 2. - Editor
Newett, of the Ishpeming Iron Ore,
took back in open court all the things
that he had said about Theodore
Roosevelt, and told Judge, jury and
everybody else that he was sorry he
had said them
Therefore the colonel left for New
York with all the satisfaction he want
ed and six cents besides, the nominal
damages he asked for after Newett
retracted and apologized on the wit
ness stand Eact side will pay it's own
costs.
The colonel and Editor Newett did
not meet after the verdict. The editor.
after his trial, at once went to his
home in Ishpeming in his automobile.
Evidently Judge Flaming figured
that there would be an explosion of
approval, demonstration that would
rattle the rafters. because he adjourn
ed court instantly, after ordering the
verdict recorded. The Judge was
hardly off the bench, as a matter of
fact, when the cheering, handclapping
and hurrahs begin.
Colonel Roosevelt, his face alight,
made three steps of 1t to the jury box,
grasped the foreman by the hand and
pumphandled him strenuously. The
foreman gave him mans size shake

LOBBY PROBE
BEGINS TODAY
Senators to Quiz -Four Mem

MAY HEAR Mr. WILSON
The President May Communicate In
formation to Committee After Wit
nesses Are Heard.

Washington June 2.-Tariff and cur
day when the senate began it's hunt for
"the numerous and insidious lobby
which President Wilson has said is at
work in Washington threatening the
Underwood bill.
Some attention also was diverted to
the senate investigation, of the West
Virginia coal strike, which also will
take form this week. Work on tariff
and currency will go on, however, with
subcommittee grinding on the sehed-
uIes. The leaders hope to present their
work to a caucus soon ond get the
bill into the senate not later than
June %.
Subcommittee expect to completes
their revision of the tariff schedules
in time for the full committee to be-
gin the preparation for report by
June 9. The program is to submit the
bill to a Democratic caucus by June
16 and to report it to the senate by
June %.
President Wilson's spondenceI
with Senator Tillman, which developed
that the president thought the curs9
rency reform imperative at the extra
session, to prevent opportunity for any
artificial financial disturbances after
the tariff bill is law, probably will be
followed soon with special message
to conghess. conveying Mr.. Wilson's
ideas on the general subject and sub
mitting an administration plan.
The lobby investigation began today
in the big Judiciary hearing room iIl#
the senate Office building. Senator
Overman's investigating committee
plans to hear four senators an hour.
Each member of the senate will be-
called on to tell what he knows about
a tariff lobby and to go on record as
to his personal business affairs and
professional associations that may re-
late to any item in the tariff bill.
All are expected to respond wiling
ly to the quiz" but many of them are1
wondering just what to say about theH
scores of business and professional
men who have been to see them about
tariff matters since the bill passed the
house
Just where the investigation will
lead the members of the judiciary SUBJ
committee, headed by Senator Over
/ dent Wilson viii take in the inquiry
they have not learned, but the presi-
dent openly said that he welcomed the
inquiry and that he had information
regarding a tariff lobby, which he will
lingly would submit to the investiga-
tors. Whether the president will per-
| sonally appear before the committee
or communicate information in writing
remains to be developed. The commits
| tee has notified him that the inquiry
is on and will leave it to his Judgment
the part he is to take.
Senators are to be called alphabeti-
| cally in blocks of four.

Participate In Loan.
Mexico City, Mex, June 2.-Finance
Minister Esquival Obregon has signed
the provisional contract for the $780,
100000 loan recently sanctioned by
the government with the Banque De
Paris at Des Pays Bas.
The participation of Speyer & Co.,
New York bankers, will extend to
about s2O,OO0,O00
This action completes the loan,
which will take the form of ten-year
amortizable six per cent bonds of 90.
Congress has adjourned to Septem-
Der.
The National Railways of Mexico,
the great system that binds the repub-
lie together with it's 1900 mile sof line
and is controlled by the Mexican gov
ernment through ownership of $115,-

stock, needs $10,000,000 at once. An
issue of AZ per cent two-year notes
natures. The financial needs of the
big railway system are in a peculiar
eral government, because of the gov
ernment ownership of the railroad.
There has been pending in Paris
with the Paris bankers, with whom
are associated English and United
States financiers, a loan to the Mexi-
ministration.
Failure of the United States and the
consequent delay of European nations
in recognizing the Huerta government
was large factor in causing hitch
in a speedy conclusion of the loan.
The hitch reached the railway system,
bringing 1t to within day of the ma.
turiay of it's s1O,0O0,000 notes without
a final agreement providing for them.
The situation of the railroad, which
was regarded as entirely temporary,
has been unique. Financial men said
that great national railway system
has had it's affairs so concerned in
the development of international poll
tics.
Rrnkers in New York understand
that if the French government has
not recognized the Huerta government
formally it will shortly do so, despite
the absence of recognition from the
Wilson administration.
Speyer e Co. have been prominent
4 azs-se 80 - 80
ways of Mexico in the United States
and have been frequently associated
with French bankers in Mexican rail
way affairs.
The Frisco system, which recently
went into the hands of a receiver, and
the National Railways, two properties
in which eSpeyer & Co. have been
largely interested, are connected by a
bridge over the Rio Grande river at
Brownsville, Tex, iii which the roads
have an equal interest.

ton formed in 1908 of the National
Railroad Company of Mexico and the

The Harmon home is close to the
Henryville station, where Mrs. Han

A breeze famed the flames up fierce

afire. The daughter working in the
house heard her mothers shrieks and
attempted rescue. In q moment the
flames had enveloped both women,
each fighting desperately.
A neighbor who heard the women s
cries ran to the station and told the
son. He snatched a fire extinguished
from the wall and ran to the house
He quickly put out the flames, but his
mother and sister were dead.
