Herman Winterers of Valley City
returned after three weeks absence
at the lakes and on entering the house
found that someone had left the wat
er running in the bath room, which
had practically ruined the ceilings and
the floors were warped out of shape
and will require extensive repairs. 1t
is understood that a young man was
staying in the house during the chau-
tauqua and it seems likely that he
might have neglected to turn the wat
sr off.
Hon. John E. Greene of Minot was
here on legal business. Mr.. Greene
is one of the best known lawyers of
the state. eve are having little
trouble up our way, it is true" he
said. "You see, there are so many

PECK WILL BUILD
PIT S|l0S
BETTER FARMING REPRESENT
ALIVE WILLING TO ASSIST IN
CONSTRUCTING A HALF DOZ-
EN- PIT CEMENT SILOS IN THIS
VICINITY.

w. A. Peck, the Better Farming
representative, informs the ndepen-
dent that he has been giving the pit
silo considerable attention and he be-
lieves the plan is so feasible that he
wishes US to say that he is willing to
assist the farmers of this vicinity in
constructing half dozen Of them. He
has the plans and specifications Of the
various sizes and believes that good
Isilos can be built very cheap.
He is in receipt Of pamphlet on
the Pit Silo for western Kansas COM
piled by Clyde Mckee, demonstration
agent for northwest Kansas. Mr.
Peck believes that farmer can build
two of these pit silos, 20 feet deep
and IL feet in diameter, each with a
capacity of As tons, for SIS or less.
Mrs Peck believes this size silo the
most practical.
Pit silos are alright in country
where the drainage is good. In this
country tits believed that cement will
adherestS he wall of such a silo. Far
mers id Kansas who have built them,
lift the silage out with a pulley, the
carrier being provided with drop
door 50 that the silage can easily be
dumped into a cart.
Edward Wray, of Norton, Kan,
built two silos, each z by rs feet; the
walls were plastered "a inch thick,
cement mixed l to 2; labor-two men
about 8 days on both silos; cost, in
Guiding labor for digging, plastering
and hauling sand and cost of cement
$3.50 each. Silos are entirely salts

for the orange growers at the
time the suit was brought.
When Editor Jordan first in.
augurated his clamor against the
aggressions and encroachments OF
the railroads, they were not so
plentiful rs they now are, and
they were hailed as great develop
ers and civilizers and those who fav-
ored their ramifying the whole
state, even-with large concessions,
were regarded as progress
ives" and jealous advocates Of the
states best interests and those who
opposed them were denounced as
"mossbacks" and enemies to the
progress and development of the
state.
We remember cartoon that
was popular at that time. 1t rep
resented Editor Jordan driving an
OK team and halted on railway
right of way, and he was vaiply
endeavoring to stop the approach
of an oncoming locomotive on the
new laid rails.
Across Editor Jordan's team
was printed in large letters,
I'M -o-s-s-b-a.c-k," and across the
approaching locomotive was print
ed in flaming Letters the word,
"P-r-o-g-r-e-s-s."

Editor Jordan, to our personal
knowledge, made q clamor against

A Sufficient Answer

As regards the outrageous vitu-
peration heaped npon the editor
of The HERALD, a few wesks ago,
by an irresponsible scribbler OF
jacksonville, a sufficient answer
is found in what is said about this
editor by the respectable newspa
pers of the state. From num-
Der of expressions, the following
two are selected as fair samples
of all:
During the first week in Deem
Der, the Tampa Tribune contained
the following:
"Hon. A. p. Jordan, the &C.
complished editor of The PUNTA
GoRDA HERALD, the capable and
efficient State Pure Food Insrec-
tor, and one of South Florida's
most prominent and popular citi-
zens, was in Tampa Yesterday at
tending to official business and
greeting hosts of local friends.
Col. Jordan is one of South Flori-
da's most able citizens, and his
friends and admirers throughout
this section are numbered by
thousands.
ON December 9Th, Editor jeff
IL. Davis published the following
in his paper, The Marianne Lead
or The name of the calumniator
and his sheet are omitted. "
"a Jacksonville weekly scrib-
bier, in his supercilious and naus-
eating manner, says, in the last
two issues Of his paper, that A. P.
Jordan, state pure food inspector
and editor Of The PUNTA GoRDA
HERALD, is liar and unworthy
to hold his position because he
talks politics. This criticism is
untrue and unjust. About the
year 1884, this writer, then q
young boy, went into the print
ing office of which paper A. f..
Jordan was editor, to learn the
cases. We have known him since
then, nearly thirty years, and in
all the ups and downs Of life to
which the average printer is sub
iect, A. P. Jordan has been our
friend, and he stands today among
those who know him, head above
his detractors. We do not al
ways agree with him in his adj
