Large Attendance at Annual
Bazaar and Supper,

Cairo people are noted For theii
cheerful giving and for their excel
lent appetites, the latter has been
evidenced recently by the great
crowds Of people who have attended
the various church suppers, Last
night, while the weather was very
disagreeable, the attendance at the
supper given by the ladies of the
Cairo Baptist church, was unusually
large and the ladies were well
pleased at the result OF their el-
forts. The supper was said to be
one of the finest ever given by the
Cairo Baptist Church ladies, which
is saying great deal The meat OF
the celebrated thirty-five pound tur-
key with many others OF his kind
graced the tables which were set il
the lower annex of the church. The

Sudden Deaths In a Silo

A recent fatal accident In Ohio
calls attention to q danger to farm
ers which cannot be too widely circu.
lated. Since 1875. when the first
American silo was built by DR.. Man.
ley Miles, this method of preserving
forage for livestock has been general
ly adopted. Although the department
OF agriculture has frequently called
attention to the danger of carbon

have been reported heretofore. On
the morning Of Sept, 10. four work.
men on the farm OF the Athens (Ohio)
State hospital, assembled the ladder
on the outside Of silo to an open
door about IL feet from the top and
jumped down one after another onto
the silage. the top of which was about
six feet below the door. About Ave
following them found them uncon.
scious. Although large force Of
workmen were Immediately suin-
moned 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,
filling the silo up TO the level Of the
door and forming layer OF carbon
dioxid gas six feet deep. Such acci-
dents. says the Journal Of the Amer
lean Medical Association, might cas-
lily be repeated on any modern farm.
Agriculture journals should call the
attention Of the farmers 10 this
danger and should urge that silos be
carefully ventilated before being en-
tered.

years very little attention has been

A Book of Letters

A book OF letters to farmers, written by
F.. r. Stevens, agriculturist of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, has just been issued by
p. II. Burnett, Industrial Commissioner
of that railroad. The book appears in
response to a demand from farmers along
the line of the Lehigh Valley who have
been in the habit of reading Mr.. Stevens
weekly letters. These have been appear
ing for more than a year in newspapers
In agricultural districts and have accom-
plished their purpose by ~instructing farm
ers in new and timely agricultural SUBJ
lects. 1t seems now however, that they
have a more permanent value, and re-
quests for earlier letters have become so
frequent that the only way to comply
with them has been to issue this book
containing the letters most in demand.
To give them an even greater value they
have been edited by George w. Cavan.
augh, Professor OF Agricultural Chemis-
try of Cornell University, a recognized
authority OIL the subject. The book is of
interest to every farmer and anyone who
has as much as one cherry tree and a
radish patch can learn something from
it.
Any one desiring a copy of this inter-
estIng book can procure one at the Penns
Grove RECORD Office as long as they last.

Mr.. Bryan's Ambitions

Secretary Bryan recently revealed his
early ambitions, and disclosed during
All address, proof that he has gone far
afeld from what he anticipated would
be his life work. Mr.. Bryan says: l
commenced with a desire TO be a Bap-
list preacher. Before | was six years
old l wanted to be a farmer and raise
pumpkins. My father was a judge,
and | remember the old courthouse
where l used to listen to cases. This
ambition guided me thru my b0yhood
and college days" Following the
events of his earlier life, Mr.. Bryan
says that he ''got into politics 10y acct
dent and stayed there 10y design" He
says that when he was first nominated
for Congress that there was no thought
that he would be elected. His COM
ment was to the effect that ~''circunl-
stances rule our lives" Mr.. Bryan
says he has gotten along so far in his
languages that he is able to dream III
Spanish. Incidentally the Secretary

~ Motorists are not permitted 10 exceed
anywhere i'll the State of New Jersey a
speed of more than 25 miles per hour.
and this only i'll open country. In cities

Any person convicted of displaying
fictitious numbers on a cal may be
imprisoned for 80 days in the county

There is no difficulty in accounting

Three groups of men having their

ard i~nterlocking control, to have the
direction of approximately $22, 000,-

railway in the country, and every one
OF the great industries. Those men
a forbid the railroads 10 buy rails. to
buy steel cars, to buy railroad frogs

buy crossties; these mel can put out of
