SUDDEN DEATHS IN A srIIo.

A recent fatal accident in OhiocaIIs attention to a danger to farmers which
 cannot be too widely AcircuIated. Since 1875, when the first American silo was built by Dr. Manleys Miles, this meth cd of preserving forage for livestock has been generally adopted. Although the Department Of Agriculture has ire quent1y called attention to the danger of carbon dfoxid gas accumulatirtz in silos under certain conditions, no fa- talities have been reported heretofore
 On the informing of September 19 four workmen on the farm of the Athens (Ohio) State Hospital, ascended the ladder on the outside Of a siIo to an open door about twelve feet from the top and Jumped down one after an
 other on to the siIage, the top of which was about six feet below the door. About five minutes after, two other workmen following them found force. of workmen were immediately summoned and the bodies of the four men removed at once through a lower door, the physicians of the hospital who were at once on the ground, were unable to resuscitate any Of the four men Evidently the carbon dioxid gas had accumulated during the night. filing the silo up to the level of the door and forming a layer of carbon dioxid gas six feet deep. Such acci- dents, says the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association, might easily be repeated on any modern farm. Agriculture journals should call att Ltention of the farmers to this danger and should urge that silos be carefully ventilated before being entered.

PLAZA THEATRE.

If anything could be funnier than Charles EChaplin's work in the two Keystone comedies, His IryBtlng Places a two reel special feature and His Musical Career" another first run attraction, local theater goers heVc never had the opportunity of: see1ns it and the reception funny. Charlie re- Eeeives in both pictures is a. sver1taDde riot of xenthuSiasna- In His M1stcaI TCareer.s' he obtains a job as a piano mover and his efforts to prove to his employers that he is strong enough to carry pianos up and down stairs at their will keeps the audience in screams of laughter. In ssE1is Tryst- ing Places" he is the 'sne'er do we'll husband Of pretty Mabel Normand and the way he handles their baiby child is a treat. The pictures are positively the utmost in comedy production and the fheater is playing to capacity at every performance E.
 Jasper" Dixie Taylors thinking dog who has baffled the scientists of our leading colleges and who has been received by such nQtaibles as Presi- dent Wilson, ex-PreSident Taft, Car dinal Gibbons, CaEdinaI Fsanley, Justice Day and many others, is headlining- the vaudeville program and making friends with every member of the a1u- dfenee as well.
 George P. Murphy and company take the audience by storm in the laugh provoking farce, the scene of which is laid in a bar-room where a pair of esfllil -dresseds' inebriates have lin gered much too long for their own vel fare. MT. Murphy's work is responsi- bIe for one long laugh from the rise to the fall of the curtain and he is ably supported by a company of talent ed comedians.
 The remainder of the vaudeville in cludes Dave Ferguson, the we'll known monologists who is whining new friends at every show; Williams and Held two black-face comedians, in a singing and talking skit entitled, s"The Roustabout and the Ya1ler GirI',; the Valerie Sisters, chic comeddennes of fering songs and dances with tasty seasoning of we'll pointed humor work ed in by one of the girls.
 Completing the entire bill are several attractive photoplay features.

HEROIC BELGIUM

Wars are made big by the size of
armies and the number of battles, but
wars are made great by the human
qualities they display. Belgium has
struck the highest note that has been
heard above the din of these awful
conflicts. She has nothing to gain !;
she had everything to lose. She did
not stop to count the cost; she obeyed
that instructive sense of honor which
is an absolute standard and imposes
an absolute duty. She has not stop.
ped to reason why.
She has been the victim of one of
the greatest crimes against any ma
ton in the history of the world. What
her immediate fate may be, no man
can foresee. Those who believe in a
Divine justice in the world will not
hesitate to affirm that such a spirit
as hers cannot be buried in the ruins
of cities nor crushed by The iron hand
of war.-The Outlook.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING SYS-
TEN INAUGURATED

The Southern Express Company,
with its four thousand offices through
out the south, has inaugurated a sys-
tenn of cooperative marketing which
means much to the dealers, shippers
and growers in Florida.
In an effort to bring the dealer,
shipper and grower into closer con-
tact with the consumer, this company
has complied four most attractive
booklets on the following subjects:
List of dealers in and shippers of
oranges, lemons, lines, pineapples,
etc., on the lines of the Southern Ex-
press Company; another pamphlet
containing information with refer
ence to fish, oysters, shrimp, crabs
and clans; another on butter, eggs,
and poultry, and still another on fruit
and vegetables.
These pamphlets give the names of
the shippers and postoffice address,
the products to be shipped, and dur
ing what season shipments are made.
The pamphlets set out this informa-
tion in most comprehensive style, not
only for the state of Florida, but for
every state through which the South
ern Express Company operates from
/ Louisiana to Virginia.
The pamphlets are placed in the
hands of the agents at the large dis,
| tributing points in the territory cover
ed by the company, and on the front
page of the publication there is writ
ten agents cannot more effectively
solicit business than by creating il
through the placing of consumers OF
leaders in direct communication with
producers"
The Southern Express Company is
conducting an extensive advertising
campaign in the interest of it's ser
vice, laying special stress upon the
features enumerated herewith and the
first of the series of advertisements to
be run by this company along this
line appears elsewhere in this issue
This campaign promises to do much
toward charging the markets fol

The frost last week added woe to
the potato growers of Maine we are
told by the produce journals. The
frost was so sudden and so severe
that it damaged most of the pota-
toes that were in sheds and barns,
and totally destroyed all of the po-
tatoes in the fields which growers
were taking chance on shipping on
account of the warm, beautiful wealth
er that had prevailed for so long a
time.
