1t has taken long years of experience
to learn what was needed in the con-
struction of modern tobacco handling
and storage plant, but it remained for
the firm of Otto Eisenlohr & Bro, Phil
adelphia manufacturers, to erect in
Edgerton what is believed to be the
last word in model construction in the
largest, most expensive storehouse in
the state if not in the country. The
engraving above gives some idea of
the dimensions of this imposing build
ing. The basement walls enclose an
area of 240xI00 feet, the walls being of
cut Waukesha sto.Ie above the exposed
surface. The main storage is 240x60
feet, two stories above basement, of
steel frame, with IL inch solid brick
wall outside, surmounted with slate
roof. A one-story sorting room to the
north, 40x200 has accommodations for
200 hands, light being admitted from
saw toothed skylights. The construc-
ton is what is termed slow burning mill
construction, being the next thing to
fireproof Metal frames are used in
windows and doors and all windows are
of wire glass. The storage part is di-
vided into sections 60x80 by solid fire
proof walls running from basement to

ent compartments. Here can be stored
$4,000 cases of tobacco, piled to allow
ample room for alleys. Electric hoists
have been provided to assist in the
piling. Each or all of the sections can
be used for forced sweating if desired.
Standpipe and hose are to be found on
each floor for instant use in case of
fire. The heating plant, located in the
east end of the sorting room basement,
is entirely enclosed in reinforced ce
ment and cost to install over $1,000.
Two low pressure boilers are provided
for heating the entire structure. The
building is also equipped with two large
electric elevators enclosed in freproof
shafts; is also wired throughout for
electric lights. Cement floors cover
the entire basement intended for the
storage of bundle tobacco, while the
upper floors are double planked and
covered with hard wood Ample con-
veniences are provided in cloak room,
toilet and wash room for the employees
and commodious set of Offices, fin
ished in Georgia pine. are arranged

Timothy seed will be low in price
this spring. according to seed dealers.
The clover market is firm and the
prices will probably be as high as last

drop in the price of timothy Seed At

tailers will get from $3.50 to $3.50 a
bushel.

the home and the inmates thereof.
In book which came to us for

will have on mixed school, and
especially after the amount of talking
which has be- n done, is another line
of argument altogether-but the
most interesting point is this: what
of the little one she has brought into
the world? Who is to raise it? and
care for it?
When the mother of that little one
passes into other hands the most sac
red and the most delightful of all
occupatiOns-th of nursing and
caring for her own offspring, what
will become of the home? And what
of the early influences which will do
SO much to shape the future of that
little one?
Can the mother, after teaching in
the public school, give to her baby
the affectionate service and the care
which she would feel, if she were to
be the normal mother? Can she feel
the keen interest in it that she would
if she were not harried and worried
with the care of other folks children,
that care bling given for money con-
sideratiOn only?
1t is acknowledged that the hus-
band of this woman is we'll able to
care for her and his offspring, but
the woman is bitten with the "Wo-
mans Rights" bug, and she is demon
strating to the satisfaction of herself
and large percentage of homeless,
childless women that she can do as a
man does, mot permit matrimony
nor family to interfere with her
vocation"
1t will come down to the simple
brass tacks Of this: We will have to
dispense with the home, and with
babies, insofar as the strong armed
brigade of Pankhurstites are con-
cerned, and maybe that will be
dandy thing for the otherwise posi-
BILE babies.

Ida Grove. Aug. THE county jail
had its first occupant for over a year
when William Nelson. a transient. who
claims his home is in Chicago. was
placed behind the bars after being
bound over to the grand Jury by Jus
tice Hochstrasser at Galva on the
charge Of grand larceny. Nelson had
drifted into the town Of Galva Tues
day looking for work at his trade. he
being a carpenter. and in tho course
Of the afternoon became acquainted
with Hans Helkins. a we'll to do far
mer living in Galva township. They
had few drinks In the saloon and
drifted out into the street, where they
became engaged In = conversation. Mr..
Nelson had purchased two bottles OF
beer and asked HeHlkins for his cork
screw and reached into the latter's
pocket for It, They drank their beer
and Nelson went to q garage and hired
an automobile and left Helkins d.
rectly afterwards. A short time after
he left Helkins missed his pocketbook
and at once began a search for Nelson.
He was located at Holstein by the
marshal Of that town In one OK the
hotels. and after being searched 1t was
found that he had about the amount
that was in Mr.. Helkin's pocketbook
fifty some dollars. There was also
a negotiable note for s3s5 in tho pock-
etbook but this was not found. Mel
son claims that the money was his
but he was bound over to the grand
fury under $1,000 bail, the first term
Of court commencing on the 18TH OF
September. Nelson says he has Fam :
ny residing In Chicago.
