slLos COST LITTLE.

Doubtless all farmers are convinced
as TO the merits Of the silo but the
matter OF cost presents huge diff
Guilty. However, it appears that this
obstacle has been exaggerated and we
are now told that a perfectly good silo
can he built for SIS. A writer in the
Southwest Trail thus describes what
has been accomplished in a Kansas
community:
Pit silos, as practical as any and
the most inexpensive kind for the man
with small means, are being extensive
ly used by farmers and stockmen in
the vicinity Of Liberal Kan. About
twenty-five underground silos, most OF
them 20 feet deep and is feet In diam
eter and circular In shape are being
built, though some are four-sided and
only about half as deep. Several pit
silos are almost two years old and have
been giving satisfactory service. Re
ports that these pit silos were a failure
brought the writer to Liberal for In.
vestigation. Not one complaint against
them was heard from the owners and
those who had but one silo were think
ing Of contracting more.
The average cost Of a pit silo in the
Liberal district Of about Is tons capac-
ity was s25, including cost Of labor and
materials. No other silo can hope to
compete with such a showing. In or
der to lower the cost farmers exchang-
cd work with one another, having to
pay only for the cement, which in a
rs ton silo Of the pit variety only
amounted to about $40 or s12, accord
ing to the thickness OF the application
or the size Of the collar at the top.
Important lessons have been learned
by the pioneer pit silo builders at Lib
eral, chief Of which is to let an ex-
perienced mason or concrete worker
do the plastering. Improper mixture
Of material has caused some trouble in
small way, but in every case the
silos are giving a maximum Of service.
In Just one instance did the owner
bandon a pit silo. This one was built
by William T, Hubbard and was un-
protected at the top with a collar to
prevent rain from affecting the plas-
ter and snow and ice from getting be
tween it and the soil. Every winter
large slices OF the concrete caved in
and made the silo worthless. Mr..
Hubbard acknowledged frankly that
the fault was all his and not the silo's. "

Two views as to women holding Of.
flee have already been voiced in the
latest addition to the list of suffrage
state=. Virginia Brooks Washburn,
announcing her candidacy for alder
man in Chicago, says, Now that we
have the vote. we want office. The
ballot will no do us any good as long
as we elect men. They make US prom
ises to get our votes and then do as
they please when they get into office"
On the other hand Miss Jane Adams
says, Il think II would be unwise for
the women Of Illinois to seek or accept
public office until they have had
few years experience as voters. We
must go SLOW in politics till we find
our feet Our new privileges and
powers must have a natural growth. ="

AS the Ada News views the matter,
it is something OF a joke on Oklahoma
Democrats that the first good appoint

This is too serious to be a joking mat

but because it means one less place

Federal Soldiers at Aqua Prieta

Douglas. Ariz March 10.-En-
camped within striking distance of
several important border towns, the
$500 constitutionalist troops rested
on arms today while instructions
among federal garrisons strength
ened materially the rebel forces. No
word has come from Nacozari south
of here, where fierce battle waged
all yesterday, and it is not known
what the result of the encounter has
been. The last word received from
the besieged city was from the tele-
graph operator who flashed too hot
for me here" and left his key just
before all wires between Douglas
and Nacozari were cut.
Open revolt and scenes of disorder
have occurred among $50 federal de.
tenders of Aqua Prieta, and the
military officials there today gave
warning to all Americans to leave
the town. Today the best citizens
of Aqua Prieta generally fled to
Douglas. while the drunken and re-
bellious soldiers paraded the streets
crying viva Maderop' viva May

between politically estranged COM
panions in arms added to the confus.
ion and terror which held the town
in its grip throughout the day.
Desertions among the federal Sold
iers at Guaymas. the California gulf
port held by the federals, were re-
ported here today, and though or
ders were received by the command
er of that garrison to move against
Hermosillo with his full force inn
mediately, no move has been made.
1t is reported that federal officers
there are in bitter disagreement, and
rioting is expected.

retain the franchise but to proceed
at once to raise the 50. 500 necessary
to get into the league for the season.
DR.. Bassett is the livest President
the Kitty League has ever had and
baseball will be played as long as he
is permitted TO have anything to do

return and stir up things here. If

Anything He Wants From
President.

Washington. March president
Wilson has not yet completed his roll
of diplomats but announcements are
expected within a few days. The
President is considering many names
and has been sounding prospective
candidates through his friends. The
situation tonight is about like this:
Richard Olney, of Massachusetts,
can be ambassador to Great Britain
il he wishes.
Democratic Chairman William F.
McCombs can be ambassador to
France if he wishes.
7. w Gregory, lawyer ofAustip,
Texas, may be ambassador to Mex
leo. There is some doubt whether
he would accept if he were offered
the post.
Charles r. Crane. of Chicago, can
go to ST.. Petersburg or Pekin if he
desires.
Augustus Thomas, the playwright,
probably will be ambassador to
France if Mr.. McCombs does not ex-
cept. Otherwise he may be offered
the ambassadorship to Germany.
Frederick C. Penfeld. of German
town, Pa. will be ambassador to one
of the European courts. probably
Russia, Austria or Turkey.
Henry N. Morgapthau, of New
York. and Thomas Nelson Page are
being considered for ambassador
ships.
Colonel Thomas Birch, an intimate
friend of both the President and
Secretary Bryan. is likely to be min
lister to Belgium.
w. w. Bride. of Washington,
probably will take up one of the leg
atoms in Lltin-America.
Gossip tonight about assistant sec
retaries brings foremost the name Of
John Basset Moore for first assistant
secretary of state.
1t is believed that Charles H. Bar
ret. of Georgia, president of the Ma
tional Farmers Association, who
was strongly urged for secretary of
agriculture. will be associated prom
inently with Secretary Houston of
the agriculture department.
