cation for new bank, which will be
incorporated within short time. Mr..
Schaefer will be cashier of the new
institution. The lots have been pur-
chased in that city and the erection of

possible. There is but one bank there
at the present time The incorpora-
tors who have signed the application
are: Geo. M. Schaefer, John Wertin,
Tom Schaefer, and in all probability
they will sell stock to outside parties.

Straw as Fertilizer.

In some sections there has been con-
sidera BILE interest taken in the straw
board factories which utilize wheat
straw. says the Kansas Farmer. Farm
ers, as rule, get about so cents a ton
for their straw when hauled to these
factories. To the farmer who has habit
ualiy burned his straw or allowed his
stacks to accumulate from year to
year on the wheatfelds so cents ton
may seem quite an income to secure
for product which had formerly been
an absolute waste Farmers in these
days. however. are beginning to fig
ure on the fertiliZing value of such
material. Straw as fertilizer is east
ly worth $3.50 ton, and all the straw
produced on the farm should eventual
~ find it's way back to the soil. either
directly or through the medium of live
stock, as feed or bedding.

The discussion on this subject was

GAINESVILLE
From the Press.

This community was greatly shock
ed on Sunday last to hear of the sud-
den death of Mrs. Nellie A. Haines.
Doubly sad was the knowledge that in
period of temporary insanity she
had taken her own life. All who
knew of her long and brave struggle
she has made against a blind and in
siduous disease, will be inexpressibly
panied that her mind should have be-
come affected and result thus fatally.
Senator Knute Nelson introduced a
bill that was passed by the last con-
gress the following section: "To the
village of Paynesville, Minnesota, to
be placed on the tract of land lately
given to the said village by the local
camp of the Sons of Veterans, one
condemned bronzed of brass cannon
or field piece and a suitable outfit of
cannon balls. Last summer Mr.. F.
Tolman made request of Mr.. Mel
son for the above mentioned result.
The cannon and ball will in due time
be forwarded to US.

RICHMOND
From the Standard.

Joseph Vetsch of this village died
at his home at 11:45 Friday forenoon
after long and painful illness. The
cause of death was due to the mfr
mites of old age. He had been suf-
ferer for the past three years but at
times was able to be about. He was
strong and robust man until three
years ago, when he contracted Sc
we're cold. This took hold of his sys-
tenn so strongly that he never regain
ed his former strength. Since then
he had been slowly failing and the end
came peacefully. He was well pre-
pared for the end with the last sacra-
ments of the church. y Joseph
Vetsch was born in Kleeburg, Alsace,
on June 10th, 1884, and was therefore
81 years, nine months and two days
old at the time of his death. At the
age of five years he came to America
with his parents who settled in Mis-
souri,. When young man he came
to Minnesota and settled on farm
near St. Michaels. There he spent
his best days and when he retired
from farming about thirteen years
ago he moved to this village where he
has led a quiet and peaceful life. = y
The funeral was held from St. Peter
and Paul's Church Monday morning
at eight o'clock. Requiem mass was
intoned by Father Bede, o. S. B., and
Father Gregory, performed the burial
rites. He leaves a wife and five chill
dren to mourn his loss besides large
number of friends.

COLD STORAGE WITHOUT ICE.
Keeping In Concrete Caves Preserves
Fruit From Rotting.

Keeping In Concrete Caves Preserves
Fruit From Rottins.
Fruit can be kept in cold storage
without the use of ice. writes Harlan
w. Smith in the Country Gentleman.
In a specially constructed concrete
storage cave. built two years ago by
the Kansas Agricultural college. fruit
was kept in such perfect condition
through two winters of trial that 1t
was unnecessary to open the packages
and regrade before selling in the
spring. Practically no loss was in
Cured by rotting. The average varia-
ton in this concrete storage cave was
no greater than is common in iced
storage houses-seldom more than one
or two degrees a week.
The cave is so built that an even tenn
perature is maintained inside even
though ventilated with outside air of
varying temperature. An eight inch
tile is laid below ground and comes to
the surface three rods from the cave.
This pipe runs in under the floor and
connects with four inch tiles which
distribute the fresh air equally through
out the stored fruit from four points.
The air coming through this ventilator
is warmed in winter and cooled in sum-
mer. Three ten inch tiles in the top
Of the cave complete the air current
and provide draft.
Inside the cave is twenty-four feet
long, twelve feet six inches wide and
seven feet high. One thousand boxes
of apples can easily be stored in it.
The walls are of concrete. made of
four parts sand. four parts crushed
stone and one part cement The floor.

three inches thick and is made of four
parts sand to one Of cement.
A concrete slab, made in the same
proportions as the walls. but re-en-
forced with twist bars, ive-eighths of
an inch square, spaced four and one
half inches in the center and one-half
inch from the bottom of the slab, forms
the top.
Such a storage house will cost from
$3.50 to $500 not including the ex-
cavating, according to d. e. Lewis of
the Kansas college. who had the cave
built and conducted a two year test
with it.
During the picking season, Mr.. Lewis
says, when the nights are cold and
frosty, low temperature may be OBJ
tanned in the cave by opening the door
late in the evening and closing it early
in the morning. A temperature of
from 40 to 90 degrees is low enough at
the start Little trouble in obtaining
low temperatures will be experienced
after the first month. About that time
the eight inch ventilator may be partly
closed. A temperature as near 33 de-
grees as possible should be maintained
during winter and spring.

The drawing shows just how to make
a feed box that makes the horse eat
slowly.
The box is built to extend through
the partition. The part on the outside
is made with a slanting bottom so that
the feed will run through an opening
in the partition. this opening being
just large enough to let the feed
through slowly. The horse cannot do
anything to make the feed run through
this slot faster. so he is forced to eat
slowly.
A lid is placed on the outside of the
box to keep out trash and hens. Often
you throw feed into the box in the
dark without knowing that you are
mixing it with hen manure. 1t Is
much more convenient to feed the
horses when the opening is on the out
side, and it is good feed box whether
you have any boiters or not.

EXPECTATION OF LIFE.
Years One May Count Upon Living at

Years One May Count Upon Living At
Any Given Age.
No statistics have been calculated
with greater care than the tables which
give the exact expectation Of life for
men and women at various ages
These mortality tables are officially &C
cepted by the various states in the
United States. and from them the life
insurance companies compute their
rates Of insurance. They are as &C
curate as the most carefully gathered
figures can make them.
At ten years of age the expectation
of life is 1872 years. When one has
reached the age Of twenty the chances
are much improved, and there is still
an expectation Of 1920 years before
one. At the age of twenty-five the
average has improved. and there are
still some thirty-nine years ahead
For the normal man or woman thirty
years of age the average length of life
is siXty-tive years. A person thirty five
years old may count, according to these
tables, on thirty two years more.
As each milestone Is passed the pros
pect brightens. Thus at the age of
forty the prospect is for nearly twenty
nine years more. and at forty five there
Is an expectation of twenty-five more
years
By the fiftieth year the expectation
is about twenty-one years. and in the
6fty-fifth year it is nearly eighteen
more. A man of sixty may look for
ward with some confidence to fifteen
more years of life. and this increases
so that at seventy years the prospect
Is eight years. o. having successful
