STATE UNIVERSITY
HELPS WITH SlLOS

So many Missouri farmers have
appealed to the University Of Missou-
ri for aid in construction Of concrete
sios that department has been cs-
tablished which sends out men and
plans.
Plans are available for silo forms
u, ii and Is feet in diameter Plans
are also given which show how TO
make excavation and put in founda-
tions. a diagram is furnished which
shows how to raise the forms. In
structions are furnished in writing
explaining how to build the forms.
set them on foundations, mix concrete,
put in reinforcement material. con-
struct scaffolding, and raise forms.
Anyone with fair mechanical ability
can follow these plans and instruc-
tions,
When possible the services of man
to start the work are given. Farm
ers, however, should have the founda-
tion in and the forms ready to set up
before asking that man be sent from
the University. Applications for n
man should be made at least ten days
before he will be needed. Those who
get the services of this man must
pay his travelling expenses. The Uni
versity of Missouri furnishes his time.
Plans have already been furnished
for over 200 silos in Missouri, while
men from the University have person
ally started the construction of about
30.
p. NJ. Brandt of the College Of Ag-
riculture, Columbia, will be glad to
hear from any person desiring infor-
nation about concrete silos.

HOUSE NUMBERING

A Mr.. Merchant has been here for
number of days numbering the
houses Of our city. At a recent meet
ing of the City Council base lines were
established east and west, and north
and south, so that the work could be
done. Already large number of the
citizens of the town have taken ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered
to have their house numbered and the
number placed thereon, as this is the
work that MIR. Mershant is doing.
Some discussion has been going on
relative to a free mail delivery.
Among other things that are needful
for this to be attained is the number
ing OF the houses. SO that in case
that our city is now, or should be-
come eligible TO free mail delivery,
this work of numbering the houses
would be done and out of the way.
After all it does not seem quite fair
for man that happens to live just
outside the city limits to have his
mail brought to his door when his
neighbor who lives on the inside of
the city is not eligible to the same
service. 1t would appear Ms if Uncle
Samuel was just a little partial with
his subjects as he is now serving
them.

true Christian fortitude. ] visited
her often, as, her pastor. during her
illness and never at any time found

faith was indeed marvellous! If any
one visiting her would use. the word

would tell them she "knew" there WINS

about it. She spoke of death as

DEATH or JACOB RICKUS
Passed Away Las, Saturday Evcn-
ing Afflicted for Considerable
Timc--Funeral At NJ. Z. Church
lOnday.

After a continued illness covering
near five years, fraught with much
suffering, borne with patience and
fortitude, Jacob Rickus, bade earthly
friends adieu, and peacefully fell
asleep in death last Saturday about
8 p. m. The grim reaper knows not
nor respects age or position, taking
those in the younger years Of mature
manhood rs well as those that have
grown hoary with age. Jacob Rickus
was not an old man, rather was he
one Of the younger men of the COM
munity, having only reached the age
of thirty years, 10 months and q
days. lie among many hundreds of
thousands Of this fair land have been
borne down by the dread disease tI-
berculosis. But in the passing Of a
good man there is some compensation
in the thoughts of his future welfare.
Numbered among the upright and
worthy citizens of the community was
Jacob Rickus. Indeed Christian
and loyal member Of his church, kind
hearted, and moved by the sufferings
of others of this world; his heart went
out to those about him in constant
kindly sympathy. In the thought Of
others he forgot his own Affections.
Two little girls and a little boy are
left fatherless, and loving wife left
to tread the pathway of life alone.
Born here in the community and rear
ed to manhood here. the ties of warm
friendships had been woven with
many lives; these are now severed
and they can only remain as the fra
GRANGE of some sweet flower to cheer
those whose it was to possess them.
His memory can linger as an inspir-
alton to those who knew the goodness
of his life to hearten them for the
tasks common to ALL The hope OF
the happy future with its enraptured
bliss and the joyous meeting may be
unto those a binding cord that will
link them to the life that is to be.
The funeral services we're impressive
ly conducted by his pastor at the NJ.
+. Church on Tuesday at the hour of
ii a. m. attended by a large concourse

ing not only the wife and children,
but n father and mother, four broth
ers, G. F., p. G., G. A. and 7. G.,
Rickus, and a sister. Mrs. Louise
Mackley. The entire family has the
sympathy of the whole community in
which The Times desires to join.

Our Graded School.

The growth of Salisbury, the
large increase of pupils to be &C.
commodsted in the public school,
the necessar5 addition of teachers
are causing considerable attention
among the citizens of our town.
Twelve or fftsan new rooms will
be- necessary to accommodate the
pupils and of course as many new
teachers. At a recent meeting
held plans aud suggestions were
discussed as TO the better meth.
DDS of procedure. @ lite a nun.
Der of officials think it much bet
tsr to have q new building IN at
other part Of Fhe town for the &C
commodation of the lover grades
and particularly so as it would
save quite q number of the small
children from crossing the rail-
road, Some advocated twelve
new rooms to the cid building,
whilst others we're adverse to any
extension TO the old building rs
there are now too many children
Ia one place. Fire, accidents,
d sense and other dangers should
be seriously considered before any
more children are housed in one
building. In large cities not more
shan 500 children are put in one
building. At a cost of about
$4,000 5welve new rooms could
be built. The town had better
b rrow a few more Thousand dol.

some where in southeast Sails

be she correct thing to do. Les

BRONCHITIS CONQUERED
Royersford, Pa, Man Tells How

At this season of year with such
sudden changes, it is so easy to take
cold, and almost before M is aware
there is Inflammation in the bronchial
tubes-a hard cough and unless
checked in time chronic pulmonary
troubles may result.
Townsend Young Of Royersford,
Pa, says: "a severe bronchial trou-
BILE contracted caused me much diff
Guilty about breathing. My chest felt
clogged up and there was consider
able soreness. I tried different rem
edies without help; but 1 am glad to
say that Vinol cured my bronchial
trouble which had lasted for three
months. My breathing is all right
and the soreness entirely gone from
my chest"
