the st. Cloud Business College
and the WATERFOWL Business Col
tlege, are so situated that they are
of mutual help to each other.
When one school has more calls
for help than It can supply, then
the other school is asked to fur
nish the student, and the reverse
is often true. This gives every
student of either school a double
chance Of securing a position that
he would have were there only
one school to depend on. The
employment bureaus, teachers
agencies, typewriter companies,
all are very anxious to recon-
mend our graduates too when we
wish them to do so, but we have
never yet found it necessary to
depend on them for positions.
@. Do you charge anything
for securing positions A. No,
we do not charge our students a
cent. Anything we can do for
them in that line is absolutely
free.
@. What will the books COST

slLo FACTS FOR FARMERS;
DIMENSIONS OF MODEL Sill,

A 900pound cow, says an authority,
will ordinarily consume 80 pounds
of silage a day; a 1900 pound COW
about 40 pounds. Yearlings will eat
about one-half as much as mature ami
mails; fattening, cattle, rs to So
pounds live weight. A sheep will
take about one-eighth as much as a
COW. Horses should be limited to ID
to 20 pounds daily.
In general, the depth OF the silo
should not be less than twice nor
more than three times the diameter.
The greater the depth the better the
silage on account of the pressure
from above. If less than "a feet In
height the quality of the siiage will
not be the best. A very great weight
however, is to be avoided on account
of the excessive amount OF power re-
quired to elevate the cut corn into the
silo.

SENATE LEADER
BACON IS DEAD
WAS THE FIRST SENATOR TO BE
ELECTED DIRECTLY BY
THE PEOPLE.
AT The AGE OF rs YEARS
Deceased Was Chairman of the For.
eign Relations Committee of
the Senate.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Observation-Disclosures Octavius Ba
con, United States senator from Geor
gia for nearly 10 years, and chairman
OF the foreign relations committee
since the ascendency of the Demo
cratic party March 4, 1913, died in a
hospital here after 10 days illness
He was the first United States sena
tor elected by direct vote of the peo
pie under the seventeenth constitu
tional amendment.
Though Senator Bacon had been Sc
riously ill with kidney trouble and
complications developing from a brok
en- rib, his death was unexpected. II
came suddenly at o'clock in the after
noon and news of the end fell upon
the Senate as a shock while it was in
the executive session.
The immediate cause of the sena
tors death was diagnosed as a blood
clot on the heart. Throughout the
morning he had been in good spirits
and 1t was announced to his colleague:
that an operation which had been con
templated was unnecessary. Despite
his 70 years, 1t appeared that the af
Fiction with which he suffered was OF
recent origin and specialists believe II
would yield to treatment. This con.
clusion relieved considerably the anx
iety of his friends and associates in
Congress.
Half an hour before his death the
senator talked with his daughter, Mrs
w. B. Sparks Of Georgia. She had
just left the room when he raised him
self in bed. AS Mrs. Sparks re-enter
ed the room her father fell back in
collapse and never regained con
seriousness.
Informing the Senate of Senator Ba
cons death, Senator Overman said:
I'm the absence of the senator from
Georgia, Mr.. Smith, it becomes nv
painful duty to announce to the Sen
ate the death Of Senator Bacon at Z
o'clock this afternoon in this city. The
sudden passing away Of this great sen
ator, who came to this chamber with
all the honors which his native state
could confer upon him and who repaid
that trust by his long, honorable and
industrious career in this body, is an
irreparable loss, not only to the Sen
ate. but to the people of his state and
also to the country at large"
