THE "WHY" OF A "HoT BOX" !"
A Railroad Official Says the Cause Is
Simply Carelessness.

A Railroad Official Says the Cause Is
Simply Carelessness.
In answer to the question what is
a hot box?" Kansas City Southern Of
fcial has the following to say:
"a hot box is a sign that the safety
first rule is not practiced by some car
department man.
There is no excuse for a hot box
after car is sent out if the train is
carefully looked over by the car men
at each terminal. Primarily hot box
is caused by poor waste and an in
sufficient 'greasing' at the time it
should have been done, and there is
no excuse for one. A hot box is la
BILE to cause a wreck, and a wreck on
most railroads costs money, much
more, than the price of sufficient
quantity of waste and oil and grease
to protect the journals of :. the car
wheels,
1.-THE farmer who buys new Waa-
ON or buggy has pretty good idea
of what q hot box means and the
ways to prevent it, When he buys a
new wagon he sees to it that the spin
die is well creased so it will not get
hot. He watches it closely and does
not take any chances on the wheels
running hot The farmers wheels on
his new wagon or buggy would stick.
and if he persisted in driving ahead
he would soon have bad spindle and
a bad wheel.
''However, the results would not be
so disastrous as they would be in a
trAn of cars running at speed of
fifteen or twenty miles an hour. It's
no wonder that trainmen use language
unfit for a Sunday school class when
they find a hot box in their train.
They know that some one has been
careless and shirking in his work and
that he is 70 blame New York Post.

STATE CORN CROP
SHOWS INCREASE
500, 900 MORE ACRES UNDER
CULTIVATION.
Average Yield 1920 Bushels.
Heavy Rains in June Hurts
Crop in Some Sections; Aver
age Quality is Better Than
Last Year.

Mirnesota's 1914 corn crop, COM
piled by the state board of immigra-
tion and given out by Commissioner
Sherman. show an increase of a little
over 800, 900 acres this year over
1913 and slight falling off in the
average yield per acre. Last year
the average yield. according to figures
complied by this department, was 42
bushels to the acre, and this year it
is 40. 20 bushels.
In 1913 Minnesota's acreage was
2,438. 666; this year 2,763, 43O.
The total production last year for
Minnesota was 100, 139, 89l, and this
year 12O, 613, 673 bushels, an increase
of a little over 1O,OOO,0OO bushels.
Reviewing the figures Mr.. Sherman
said:
"My figures last year did not quite
agree with the government crop re.
port. In the point of acreage the
government estimated 240O.O0O
acres, while my figures gave 2.438,-
666. Last years government report
gave the yield at 4O.5 bushels per
acre and mine was AZ bushels per
acre. The total production last year,
according to government figures. was
81, ,22OO, 900 bushels, and my figures
were 100, 139, 891 bushels.
cit is very probable that there will
be difference this year between
government figures and figures issued
by this department. However. these
estimates are gathered un practically
the same plan.
''This department maintains in
each county crop reporter who re-
ports throughout the season condition
of crops. When all are planted the
reporter gives a careful estimate of
the acreage, basing his opinion on the
past years acreage and then allowing
percentage increase or decrease to
determine the present year figures.
So that / am of the opinion that my
figures are as nearly accurate as the
government figures.
The slight falling off in t e yield
per acre this year is accounted for by
several spots where heavy rains in the
month of June damaged corn some
what. This prevailed principally in
some sections of southeastern Mime
sofa. Reporters advise me that in
southwestern Minnesota in some Sec
tions the weather was not favorable II
June, which reduced the yield, but
the fall weather was SO favorable that
although the yield was not quite as
heavy as last year the quality is
better.
"The total value of this years
corn crop of Minnesota is approxim.
ately $78. 398, ,S87. As"

THE RED CROSS.

Its Real Origin Dates to NaPoleon's
italian Campaign OF 1859,
The Red Cross owes it's real origin to
the great and terrible campaign OF
1859, when Napoleon made it his boast
that he would free Italy from the
Alps to the Adriatic' At the great
battle of Magenta 10000 Austrians and
some 5000 French soldiers were left
dead and dying on the fields.
A Swiss gentleman named NJ. Henri
Dunant, made a pilgrimage to that
battlefield and was an involuntary
eyewitness of the awful carnage of the
battle of Solferino, battle which last
ed some sixteen hours and left some
30G09 dead and wounded. Henri Du-
nant realized that the medical service
of what was probably the greatest
army in the world was absolutely in
adequate to cope with the casualties,
and he was at once compelled to take
some action to rectify the matter.
The result was that he wrote a
small book for private circulation, en-
titled "Un Souvenir de Solferino," and
this. with his private appeal, resulted
in Napoleon III. commanding Dunant
to his presence, where. with the great
Marshal MacMahon, they seriously
talked matters over.
The result of this was a conference
of the powers, called together by the
Swiss federal government, at which
Henri Dunant placed his proposals
Out of this Geneva conference of 1864
resulted the Geneva convention. under
which all medical supplies and person
mel in war time are protected.
