 Please explain writer's reference to the year when October had only tVen- ty-one days.
 The reference could apply only to the year 15s2, when, by order of Pope Gregory XIII, the old style of reckon ing time was dropped and the new style was adopted. This was done on Oct. 4 by eliminating ten days of the month, from the 9th to the 14th, both inclusive, thus leaving only twenty one days In the history of that pe-
  recorded as occurring between Oct. 4 and 15, the intervening days being blank.
 Who. was the real Josh Billings, and where did he come from?
 "Josh Billings was the pseudonym of Henry Wheeler Shaw (1S18-1SS5), who was born at Lanesborough, Mass. He was an auctioneer for some time and afterward branched into lectur1ng and writing. His productions. con sisting of humorous essays, etc, char acterized by grotesque mode of spell ing, were mostly contributed to the New York Weekly. But his most sue cessfuI publication was the 'Josh Bil- fng's Farmers Allminax," published annually from 1870 to 1880.
 Please give a simple rule for finding the surface area of a circle. Multiply the radius, or half the diam eter, by itself and then multiply the product by 3.1416, taking care of the decimal point. A circle six feet in di- ameter would have a radius of three feet; 3 by is g, and this by 3.1416 gives 2S.27 feet as the superficial area of the circle.

BANKERS VOICE OBJECTIONS TO
 CURRENCY BILL

Chicago, Aug. 22.-More than 200 bankers, delegates from clearing hous- es and banking houses assembled here today to voice their objections to cer- tain sections of the Glass Owen cur rency bill now before Congress and to make suggestions for a law which they hope will bring about an improvement in the banking system of the country.
 The conference was called by the Bankers Association. Its purpose, as explained by Frederick F'arnsworth, of New York, secretary of the organiza- ton, is to aid the administration in ''effecting good currency legislation
 Arrangements were made for thxee sessions today and 1t is the hope of the commission that by tomorrow night recommendations for amend ments to the GIass-Owen bill will be agreed upon which will make it satis- factory to a great majority of the f1nanciers of the country.
 There are four fundamental fea- lures of the bill to which the bankers of the country are almost unanimously opposed said MT. Farnsworth. '"They are the government control proposi- ton, the reserve feature, the portion referring to note issue by the govern ment and the stipuation for the re- funding of two per cent. bonds. The ideas of the associated bankers on these scores are well known and it is probable that their action will take the form of resolutions protesting against the objectionable features and suggesting famendments.'
 No formal program has been pre- pared but a. general discussion will follow an address by A. Barton Hep burn of New York. chairman of the currency commission, which is expect ed to be the keynote of the conference.

Eagles Buy Main Street Property;;
 To Erect Home
Will Retain Present Club House in Madison Avenue As
 Investment

At one of the largest meetings of Bridgeport aerie, Fraterna1 Order of Eagles, ever held, 1t was voted last night to purchase the property of the Wheeler Beers estate at 1582-1593 Main street and build a handsome new club house on the site. A number of the members were opposed to the plan and favored remode1ling the present hall in Madison avenue. But they were not in the majority and the vote to buy and build, was finally made unanimous.
 President John J. Heavey and Sec retary Thomas M McN amara reported against the plan to remodel the pres ent Eagles hall. The aerie has had thirty days option on the Beers prop erty and price set on it is said to be close to 5000 This committee was appointed to complete the deal and buy the property:
 President J. U. Heavey, Vice-Preei- dent D. J. O'Connor, Secretary T. M McNamara, Past President Thomas w. Reddy, Trustee. Patrick F. King, Treasurer John O'Connor, Trustee John N. O'ConneI and John J. Doyle.
 The present Eagles hall, formerly Madison hall, was bought by the aerie in 1905 and a clear title secured to the property when mortgage was cleared in 1907 Through rental of the big dance hall in the building, etc, the property has added considerable rev erue to the treasury of the aerie.
 It is proposed to retain the present building and make some alterations after the new club house is built. The present plan is to build a club house for the exclusive use of members of the Eagles, with large meeting hall, gymnasium, baths, and sleeping rooms. The present Eagles hall will be rented for gatherings of various sorts and used for class limitations of the aerie.

CAMBRlC CLUE TO BOMB
 MYSTERY AT CITY HALL

New York, Aug. 22-A piece of bright colored carnbric was the clue today in the city hall bomb mystery.
 The cloth was wrapped around four sticks of dynamite found yesterday in an areaway directly below Mayor Gay nor's window. The bomb was any thing but a hoax, for the fuse had been lighted and had gone out just before the spark reached the detonator. An explosion probably would have caved in the side of the building.
 The carnbric wrapper was detected by workmen today A shaft of the subway opens near the city hall.

Is there any demand for brick sIag g. if so, where could one find a Hart,et for it2
 The demand for brick clay depends upon the building activities of the cit ies and towns nearest you It would not pay to ship it except in it's finish ed form-i- e., bricks The shipping facilities, both by rail and water, and the extent of the clay deposits on your land would also have an important bearing in determining the question Of a market, for it would be necessary to build kilns and provide for the trans portation of the finished product This could not be done prontably unless these deposits are sufficiently eGten- sive and the freight rates low enough to make competition with other hgNloE- makers possible.

 We are unable to find out anything about a pr. J. F. Koch. The late pr. Robert Koch, the distinguished Ger. man bacter1olog1st, was the discoveror of the tubercle bacillus and the 6rSs to isolate the specific germ. He made this discovery while q member of the imperial health board of Berlin and announced it to the medical world in 1882. Tn 1901, at the British congress for tuberculosis held in London, be announced that bovine tuberculosis and human tuberculosis were distinct ly different diseases. These statements gave rise to extensive disputstiOn and experiment. In 1908, Rt the interua- tfonaI tuberculosis congress held in Washington, at which Dr. Koch was elected honorary president of the as- sociation by reason of his distinguish ed researches, he again announced if as his opinion that bovine and human tuberculosis were entirely different diseases. This opinion was combeted by practically every expert of note at the congress, and today it fs almost universally conceded by the medical world that pr. Koch's theory was in- correct

Wall Stree. Fighting Currency Bill

H "A Washington dispatch says: The
National City Bank of New York
| And that influential group OF banks
Which represent especially the
atandard Oil company, and other
hinge influential interests, is flooding
| the country with literature in opposi-
tson to the administration currency
bill. As is we'll known this new
currency bill will take the financial
control Of the country out Of the
hands of Wall Street and place 1t
absolutely in the hands Of the gov
srnment. Placing the control Of the
finances Of the country In the hands
Of the government where it belongs
ID what Wall Street calls placing the
control in hands Of "the politicians. :"
The postoffice department Is con-
troled by the government Tor poll

absolutely in the interests Of the
people, and so will the currency Of
the country be controlled in the in

undoubtedly will, and there will be
no more panics nor hard times there

Put II Into Beef

Why ship grain to market? Is the
heading of an article in the Cincin-
natl Enquirer Of recent date, and is
mainly directed to the dry-land
farmer. But one answer is given:
He shouldn't do 1t. Yet the average
western farmer Of today fails to do
anything else. The gist Of the article
10 that 1t is decidedly more profitable
to feed out the grain to animals on
the farm than to ship it. The feeding
of farm animals means that s. to 80
per cent of the fertilizing value of
the crops fed can be returned to the
land. A table follows showing what
100 pounds of grain,. when fed, will
produce, viz: 25 pounds pork; 36
pounds veal; Is pounds cheese; 81
pounds butter; 20 pounds eggs; l61f
pounds poultry; 81 pounds beef; Z
pounds mutton. This increase is In
sb5 dessss<f product Of the animals
named. Figure comparative weights
OF the grain and the weights Of the
animals with the comparative market
prices, and you'll get a line on farm
production that will surely increase
farm profits. The Herald has noticed
of late years the adoption Of the
above plan by some ranchmen, and
in every case it proved profitable.
Ranchmen, give this your attention I;
nothing is more pleasing than to in
crease the farm income.
