! POINTS ON sILo
CONSTRUCTION

Because of the interest in silo
construction in North Dakota at
the present time, the board OF
directors of the North Dakota
Corn and Glover convention at
Grand Forks have issued q special
statement regarding silo construc
tion and operation. The follow
ing extract from this statement
refers to construction features.
A man should know the prln-
ciples of silage making before he
selects a location for a silo, de-
termines on the kind Of silo, he
will build or erect one. Some
times just q slight mistake results
in poor silage and disappointment
while everything else has been
done right. Z
Silage making is simply can
ming on a large scale. The house
keeper puts food for her family
into quart receptacle Of glass
or tin, follows certain rules and
the canned fruit keeps for month
or for years until she wants to
use it. The stockman puts feed

Lind Is Working
:. -
Well In Mexico
Huerta Has Control of Machin-
cry Of Administration Of
Mexican Government.

Whatever may De tnOugnI VI
the wisdom Of Mr.. Lind g mission
to Mexico, every right-thinhng
American is pleased with his
peaceful reception and hopes that
somehow it will work for good,
says the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The situation is comph-
Gated and delicate. To bring
about the elimination of a govern
ment which we refuse to receg-
nize, and to get that government
to assist us to destroy itself, is,
it must be admitted, a task which
will. require the diplomatic genius
of a Talleyrand to accomplish.
And it is nothing less than that,
il it is to be done peacefully.
Huerta is in control of the ma
chinery of administration Of the
Mexican government. There is
NO question as to that. He is
provisional president in accord
ance with the forms of Mexican
law. That it is only the form
and not the spirit, and that he
acquired the office by methods
which would not be tolerated for
a moment in this country, or in
any other country of equal en-
lightenment, does not alter the
fact that he is the provisional
president. Our government does
not recognize him as such Off
cially, but it is compelled to do
so unofficially, for it is only
through him that a peaceful set
Element is possible. The Wilson
administration insists that an elet
tion shall be held and in this par
ticular it has, we believe, the
support and the sympathy of the
country. But, an election can
not be held until it is called by
the Huerta government, and Hue1
ia, under the provisions of. the
Mexican constitution, as we unde
stand it, cannot be a candidate
for president at that election.
Inasmuch, therefore, as an elec-
tion means his removal, he is in
no hurry to call one, and is not
likely to view with good nature
our efforts to hasten his going.
That is the knot which our per-
sonal and unofficial envoy is ex-
peoted to unite. Can he do It'll
We hope so. For the happiness
Of Mexico we hope SO. For the
protection of the lives and proper
ty of Americans in Mexico we
hope so. For the preservation of
peace we hope SO. There are
surer and speedier ways Of solv-
ing the problem than this which
has been chosen by the admins
tration, but if it can be done this
way SO be it. 1t must not be lon(
delayed, however. Fabian tactics
and Qui0otic policies have alread,
cost us much in American blood
and American dollars. We are q
patient people, but we have our
limitations.

thing to earn riches. But, with
the vanishing Of that which was
immaterial and visionary, there

U0e vanishing OF IlldL WHICH was
immaterial and visionary, there
was swept away much that was
real, and that should have been
permanent. The collapse of the
speculative bubble has put check
on the orderly progress of the
country. It has interfered with
the extension Of credit to enter
prises which are based on the real
needs and the real possibilities
Of the country. The same con-
ditions which have made it i'm
possible to borrow money with
which to make partial payments
on town lots miles from a town
have made it more difficult for
the man who needs more room
the money with which to make
extensions, or for the farmer who
wishes to make wise and neces-
sary improvements to find the
necessary capital with which to
do it. Hard ship is being expert
enced all over the territory, and
while there are signs that the
financial stringency has passed
the crisis, it will take a long time
for conditions to readjust them
selves on the solid and endur-
ing basis of safe business.
The Herald has no disposition
to decry the Canadian northwest.
It is a rich country with wonder
full possibilities, the extent of
which we cannot begin to ap-
preciate. That country will be
the home Of millions Of prosper
GUS people, with their farms, and
cities and villages, and all the
things that belong to progress
sive civilization. But these things
will not come in a day in that
country, any more than they
have done so elsewhere. They
will come as they do in other
places, as the result Of hard work
and thrift, and prudence, and for
sight, and with the usual temper
ary discouragements of bad
streaks of "hard luck. !"
It is well that those Of our
people who may have been tempt
ed by the stories of sudden for
tunes made in the country to the
north should take account OF
some of these things. Let them
, cast their thoughts back ovel
the history of our own country
| and they will find that whenever
from any section there have
come glittering stories Of fortune
made in the night these have soo1
been followed by the distressing
spectacle of a lot of people walk
ing home on their uppers. There
are certain immutable principles
which govern the development OF
a new country, and they apply
as we'll in Canada as they do her
Our own country offers pretty
good opportunities for most Of
those who are willing to seek for
tune in the only way in which il
may safely be sought, the way
Of earnest effort and careful
| planning. To seek wealth in any
| other way is to tempt fortune and
lthrow discretion to the Winds ~

REPuLsE or FLEET LEFT
 FORT WRIGHT uNMoLEsTED.
After Terrific Fire of Tuesday Night Wednesday Was Quist in Nearby Waters,

Repulsed after four hours battle Tuesday night, nothing was seen of tho black fleet by the island forts until noon Wednesday.
 Sweeping for mines is the naval term given to the n1asleuvers of the enemy's ships. Tuesday night under the waters of the Sound at points known only to the coast defences, were planted theoretical mines, the expIo sion of which meant utter destruction to the attacking fleet.
 1t was these mines that the black fleet division was attempting to To- cate and destroy Also beneath the water ran the cable by which com munication between the forts and the mainland was obtained and the cut ting of this was an important strategic move which the enemy intended.
 For nearly four hours the black fleet division swept" the Sound and for an equal length of time the fortifica- tfons defuged them with imaginary shells. In the face of a fire which no naval force could have withstoed, the battleships and destroyers retired at l o'clock Wednesday morning.
 Of course if is not fo be presumed that the enemy in the course of it's two days and three nights of attack has not picked up some valuable 1n- formation Searchlights have been un- der observation and as result there will prODaD1y De raQlCal changes HI their positions The black fleets de- streyers have definitely located many of these searchlights and theoretically have perhaps been able to destroy them. With these facts discovered, the maneuvers have already more than paid for their cost.
 General Barry does not state how much more efficient the forts may be made by what has been learned al- ready, but it is certain they will be far better able to cope with 8 possible enemy.
 General Barry's Statement.
 In reference to the ork of the black fleet up to the present time General Barry had this to say
 E. ''The fleet under the able command of Admiral Badger is trying out and searching out in an unusually efnclent manner every phase uf the defenses, including the number of men, in such a way as to be of the greatest benefit in doing those things that would be ex- pected in action against a real enemy. This gives actual target practice against which the defenses would op- crate in time of war.

EPISCOPAL PENSIONS.
Approximately Half Pay Proposed For
 Clergymen Over 65.

New York, Aug. GA pension ap- proximating half pay for every Epis- copal clergyman more than 65 years old. and financial aid for widows and orphans of clergymen is recommend ed in a preliminary report, issued to- day. of the commission on pensions of the Episcopal church of which Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts is chair man and Bishop Greer of New York, a member.
 The pension blank which has been framed by Menell Sayre, an expert of the Cafnegit Fuhdatieh. after an ek- haustive investigation by the com mission of every pension system in the world embraces in it's scope the entir body of $500 eiergymeA employ ed in domestic and foreign fields. 4 fund of $7,6666e0 would be necessary at the start and s506,660 would be expended annually thereafter. The annual obligations would be met, un- der the plan, by tax on individual churches approximately six percent. of the amounts paid in salaries and scientifically graded with respect te the ages at which their recters were ordained.
 Widows es eiergyf men would be pen siened, elergymen's orphaned children would be educated and disabled elergymen would be cared for irrs- spectiNe of age.

ARMED WITH REVOLVER
 AND MOUNTED ON BICYCLE. Joseph Ginty, 17, Might Have Had an Adventurous Career if Let Alone.

Joseph Ginty. IT years old, abstracted $50 from the home of a compatriot, Stanley Leno. in Montville on Wednes- day, and when the latter discovered his loss he set out in pursuit of the youth ful thief. By the time he had caught up with Ginty $33 had been spent for a bicycle and with a new revolver and a supply of cartridges Ginty had still $7.30 to enable him to start on an ad- venturous career, He probably would have if Leno, his own detective and policeman, had not nabbed him just then. He had secured New London and then came to Norwich, where Ginty on his new mount greeted his eyes after a short search Leno took the boy to Chief Linton. who held him until Constable Hickey from Montville took him away.

An unknown man about 5e years of age, and apparently a tramp, was struck and instantly killed by freight train at the plant of the Ulmef Leather company, short distance above the West Side statien, en the Central Ver- mont read, at o'clock Wednesday aft- erneen. There were ne articles of identification on his person, and from his appearance 1t seemed probable that he was a wanderer. His head was crushed in and his face mutilated al- most beyond recognition.
 Employees of the leather company saw the man step up on little bank of sand as the southbound train ap- preached, and it is believed that the suction from the train caused the man to slip in the insecure footing offered by the sand, and fall backward into the train. His head and chest were badly crushed, his right arm was cut off and his left hand amputated. The wheels apparently passed over parts
