JAMES INGHRAM KILLED


James Inghram, brakeman on the
&C. & N. w. Ry., out of this city was
killed last night in a railway accident.
Mr.. Inghram left here last evening
at 1880 on the way freight. After the
train left Mankato his body was
found by switchman, mangled be-
yond all recognition. A telegram
was sent to New Ulm where his train
then was, and search was made and
it was found that Mr.. Inghram was
not with the crew. There is no defin-
tie information as to how he met his
death, but it is believed that while
trying to turn off the brakes as the
train was leaving Mankato, he fell
from the top Of the car beneath the
moving train. His remains were
brought here this afternoon.
Mr.. Inghram was about 35 years of
age and is survived by his widow and
two small children. He had many
friends in this city who regret his
tragic and untimely death, and ex-
tend sympathy to the bereaved fam

The plan of utilizing the rays of the
sun for heating water has developed
extensively since the first crude coil

drawn from it after the heat of the
day, was warm. Since then the prin-
ciples of radiation of heat have been
carefully studied and applied to the
perfected device. A fiat box, cover
ed with glass, is set at an angle on
the roof, pergola, garage, or other
convenient place where it will get the
most benefit from the suns heat. This
air-tight box contains heating coil
of approximately one hundred and
fifty feet of galvanized pipe three
fourths of an inch in diameter, which
is soldered on base of sheet copper.
This metal is used because of its rapid
heat-conducting property and the sol
dering forms a metel contact which
transmits the heat to the under side
of the pipe where the water is cold
est. The small pipe and the sheet
of copper respond so quickly to the
suns rays in warm weather that hot
water can be drawn after FIVE minu-
ties exposure.
In order to conserve the heat fol
hours, or even days, the tank which
receives the hot water is packed af-
ter the manner of a fireless cooker
so that early in the morning the sup
ply of water hot from yesterdays
sun is available. This is one of the
most important improvements in the
solar heater system, as the great de-
mand for hot water is in the early
part of the day, before the. old-style
heater would be in operation.

CHINESE EGGS REACH FRISCO
Six Hundred Cases From Shanghai
Admitted Duty Free Under New
Tariff

San Francisco, Jan. 10.-Six hun
dred cases of eggs from Shanghai,
China, were included in the cargo Of
the liner Siberia, which has arrived
from the orient These eggs were ad-
nitted duty free under the new tariff
act. Under the scent tariff handi-
cap, 1000 cases of Chinese eggs were
received in San Francisco last year.
Local merchants say the total impor-
tation will reach 10000 cases the en-
suing year.
DO you see. the point? Why should
the United States import eggs from
Gina and Germany If you farmers
don't need the wealth your hens can
bring you, then turn them over to
your boys and girls. Give them the
chance to make money raising chick
ems and gathering eggs-let them
feel that they have share in the
profit Of the farm. But don't forget
that Minnesota ought to be growing
more poultry and selling more eggs.
