FINED $50; GOES TO
REUNION JUST SAME
Confederate Blind Tiger Still Loves
the Gray.

w. w. Billy Crawford, an aged
Confederate Veteran, thought the fates
were against him when his plans to
leave Monday morning for the Confed'
crate reunion at Jacksonville were
upset by the call of case in the city
court. He was accused of selling in.
toxicating liquors. He was given a
hearing, adjudged guilty and fined $50
but was determined not to let such a
small matter dampen the fires Of
patriotism rekindled by the annual re
union of those who wore the grey.
Without delay he secured the sigma
lures of two friends to the 5000 bond
required to secure an appeal of his
case, and though his departure was
somewhat belated, he took the frs
outgoing train for Jacksonville, where
the enthusiasm of the occasion is sure
to provide for that $50 fine should hi'
appeal be not sustained.

REASON FOR SiLO COLLAPSE.
Reinforcement on Mortar
Joints.

Ames, Oct. 5.-"No chain is
stronger than it's weakest link" was
the laconic comment of the agricul-
tural engineering expert at Iowa
State college who was sent to Usage,
Iowa, to Inspect the mammoth clay
block silo which collapsed recently,
causing considerable loss to the
farmer who had just filled it with
silage.
The expert found the weakest link
where the wire reinforcements laid
on the mortar joints between the clay
blocks and connected with patent
ed door frame had pulled loose from
the door when the outward pressure
of the silage became great. INSULT
cient reinforcing had been used
throughout the silo, which was 20
feet in diameter and 81 feet high.
Had the silo been designated and
constructed according to the plans
and specifications of the Iowa Silo,
designated by the Iowa agricultural
experiment station, this failure
would not have taken place sad
Prof. j. B. Davidson, professor of
agricultural engineering. This de-
partment has repeatedly written the
manufacturers OF the door frame us
ed in the Usage silo calling atten-
tion to this defect in construction"
In the Iowa Silo the door frame
is designated with a reinforced con-
crete beam on either side of the door
way. The cross ties extend across
the doorway and are inbedded in con-
crete in the walls, SO that the rein
forcements cannot pull loose"
There has never been a failure of
the Iowa clay block when built ac-
cording to these plans. Any farmer,
can secure full Information about the
right way to build clay block silo
by addressing the state experiment
station for Bulletin No. 141."
