YEARS OF SILENCE
ENDED BY CHANCE
Under Vow Not to Speak to Each
Other, Accident Opens Lips.

st. Joseph, Mo.-Robert and Joseph
Miller, brothers, spoke to each other
the other day for the first time in IF
teen years. All of this time they have
lived in the same house, eaten at the
same table. slept in the same o and
been partners in the produce farm
which they own They are well to do.
Fifteen years ago, when their stock
in trade consisted of a rundown little
truck garden, they had a falling out
Over who did the most work, and 10
seph vowed that he would never speak
to his brother again until Robert spoke
first. Pride prevented each from be
ing the first to break over.
When they had anything to say to
each other they did it through the me.
dunn of a third person.
ASK Joe If he is going to town to
day or whether | shall go" Robert
would say to a hired hand, even
though Joseph were within a few feet
Of him.
TELL Bob am going because there
is some private business l want TO see
about" Joseph would reply through
the same medium.
During their resting hours and
through the long winter evenings the
two played cards together. but each
sat stolidIy smoking a pipe. and nei
Their spoke to the other. With other
people about they would talk freely
and easily, but never to each other.
The silence between them was
broken when Robert was buried un.
derneath a slide OF cordwood which be

"Oh. Bob, are you badly hurt?" he
asked. Afterward he said that he did
not realize hat he was breaking his
VOW.

wood is holding me so that | can't get

Then the two men laughed.s shook

ARMY OFFERS PRIZES
FOR BEST AEROPLANES
To Divide $4,000 Among
Three Winners.

Washington.-After having been hand
icapped for years by congress in their
efforts TO keep abreast Of aeronautics
in the armies of the world, officials of
the war department at last have OBJ
tanned a suitable appropriation and
have arranged important plans for de.
yeloping the army aeronautic corps.
With an appropriation Of 100000
available, Brigadier General George p
Scriven, chief signal officer, with the
aid Of Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Re
Der, assistant chief, has drawn up
plans for a general competition among
American inventors and builders of
aeroplanes,
A purse Of $4,000 is announced to
be distributed among the builders of
the best three machines. each of a dis
tinctive type For the machine of first
merit $4,000 will be paid. for the sec
ond $4,000 and for the third $1,000.
Part of the appropriation will be spent
I'm buying a score Of other a~eroplanes
Of the most desirable type at regular
prices. 1t is estimated that the addi-
tional machines can be bought for from
$4,000 10 $1,000 each from the manu-.
facturer or possibly the army may OBJ
tain the exclusive right of building its
own machines M less cost.
The remarkable strides in aviation
made within the last few years by the
more progressive European armies
have spurred the army authorities TO
the determination to build a formidable
feet Of aeroplanes. The successful OPP
Grafton Of a~eroplanes in the recent Bal
kan wars and in Mexico has demon
strated, 10 their minds. the necessity
of the American army no longer re
naming behind those Of Europe in this
respect. The work of the American
naval aeronauts at Vera Cruz has been
pronounced by both army and navy ex.
perts as a demonstration of their prac
ticability and ~undisputed value in time
OF war.

MITCHELL corn palace, fashioned
upon lines similar to the famous
Mitchell corr palace, may be the
feature of the proposed South Dakota
exhibit at the Panama exposition in
| San Francisco next year. Succeeding
the appointment last Thursday by
Gov. Frank M. Byrne, of a voluntary
commission to decide as to the show
ing and arrangement of a possible
state exhibit, it was revealed that
plans concerning the proposed exhibit
included consideration of the erec-
ton of a corn palace as the official
state building. The expense of such
a structure would be far less than
that of one designed along customary
lines. For this reason, the adoption
of this feature for IN exhibit is deem
| ed especially advisable, inasmuch as
the state legislature refused TO APP
| propriate funds for the expense of an
exhibit. The cooperation of several
state commercial clubs has been as
sured for support of the state exhibit
project.
