NEW BUILDINGS
Several Permanent Structures Erect
ed for Minnesota State Fair
Machinery Show

Visitors at the Minnesota State
Fair machinery show, Sept. 6 to II,
which covers over 70 acres and is the
largest in the world, will find several
large new concrete structures await
ing their inspection.
The Minnesota Keystone Silo Com
pany, of Minneapolis, is erecting a
large permanent concrete reinforced
slab silo. The Lehigh Portland &C.
ment company is building the first in
stallment of model farmstead, which
is to consist of a concrete barn, silo,
feeding platform, manure pit, troughs
fences and other things Of like ma
ture. The. Fairmont Gas Engine and
Railway Motor Car Company, of
Fairmont, Mimi, is planning the erec-
ton of a permanent fre-proof exhibit
building about thirty feet wide by fif-
ty feet long. E-< s~-t.3r 50.
There are indications of unusual IN
terest among machinery builders this
year, according to w. w. Sivlight, hof
Hutchinson, Mimi, superinte ndent,
and it is believed that the number of
exhibitors will exceed s312, the pre-
vious high mark. There is a feeling
among the manufacturers that the
Northwest is the most prosperous ag-
ricultural district in America at pres
ent. Crops have been very good for
two years, and prices for farm pro-
ducts are certain to be high this year.
Considerable money is being spent by
farmers for live stock, machinery, and
new buildings, and it is believed that
Minnesota State Fair advertising will
be worth more than usual this fall. !:
The fact that there is no charge for
outside space, and only a nominal
charge of five cents a square foot for
inside space, makes it possible to put
on quite large exhibit at small cost.

KAISER IS STILL
EVADING ISSUE

important changes would be neces-
sary in Germany's attitude before it
could reasonably be hoped that the
formal reply would remove from the
negotiations the critical aspect they
have assumed.
One of the messages from Ambas-
sador Gerard was somewhat garbled
in transmission and it's meaning was
not clear. At first, early in the day,
it was believed by some officials that
the suggestions made might offer a
basis for negotiations, since it appear
ed that Germany was endeavoring to
ascertain in advance what the opinion
of the United States would be so that
the final draft would be certain of &C
ceptance. This caused feeling ofsome
optimism to be spread, but the arrival
of additional messages from Ambas-
sador Gerard indicated that Germany
was not prepared to yield to the in
sistence Of the United States on its
rights under international law, but
was disposed to ask for compromises
and concessions involving a surrender
of some important neutral rights.
The situation was not regarded by
any means as hopeless, because it was
believed in well informed quarters
that the mere fact of submitting to
Ambassador Gerard a tentative draft
of the German reply could not be con-
strued as meaning that Germany
might make further changes if the
position of the United States was
found to be unalterable. There are
evidences, however, that some Berlin
officials believe public opinion in the
United States has been divided since
the resignation of Secretary Bryan
and that public sentiment here really
favors compromising the issue.
During the tendency of the negotia-
lions, the apparent cessation of torpe-
doing, without warning, of enemy
ships and the absence Of mistaken at
tacks on American vessels have pro-

TWELVE INCH SHELLS.
These Big ProjectiIes Carry a Thirty
Pound Explosive Charge.

With .NRtSSsvC Suat 9Os
High power projectiles are construct
ed with cavities In their centers which
contain the explosive charge, the ex-
plosive carried varying with the size
of the projectile. A twelve inch shell,
weighing $40 pounds, carries about
thirty rounds of explosive. The cavity
Of such projectile is about seven
inches in diameter at the base, and
gradually tapers In size toward tie
point. After the charge is placed IN
the projectile plug is screwed into
the base, thus sealing up the explosive,
and fuse is inserted in the center
Of the plug extending into the explo-
sive within the cavity.
The fuse, without which the explo-
sive is harmless, depends upon the
high rotary motion of the shell to be-
come active. This rotary motion is
impaired by the rifing of the gun. In
the smooth surface of the tube are cut
the rifiing grooves Of width Of about
one-eighth inch.
Round the shell, near its base, IN
groove cut for the purpose, is COM
pressed what is known as the rotat-
ing band. This band projects above
the surface Of the shell and CORE
spends with the rifling grooves, SO
that upon its discharge it is forced
into the rifiing, where it acts as a
seal to prevent the escape of the gas
formed by the exploding powder and
gives the shell the required rotary
motion, which keeps it on its. true
course with its point always in d.
rect line ahead.-London Tit-Bits.

GLASS REGAINS REASON
Man Who Jumped From Car Window

Tickets Improving.

William Glass, who jumjed from a
moving train at Sank Centre a couple
of weeks ago, destroyed his railway
and steamship tickets and bitterly
fought officials who transported him
to Fergus Falls, will soon be in physi-
cal condition to permit his deporta-

WEIGH, of the Fergus Falls .sylum,
says Tuesday evenings St. Cloud
Times. Glass was arrested at Sank
Centre and committed to Fergus Falls
by Judge of Probate Himsl. The case
was one of the most violent that has
come to the attention of the local
court.
Investigation has proven that Glass
is an alien subject to deportation. AS
he was enroute to Glasgow, his for
mer home, when he became deranged,
deportation will work no hardship in
his case. Advices from British Column
bia say that Glass and his wife lived
at Victoria for some time while Glass
followed his trade, that of carpenter
His wife left for their native land six
months ago and Glass was returning
to Scotland when he lost his mind.

steamship tickets have been sent to

companies with a request that pas
sage be given the man when he has
returned to condition that will permit
him to travel.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE CARE OF CROP

the shock will go through the sweat
in the bins, giving the grain a darker
and richer color. Grain that is thrash
ed when damp viii sweat too much and
become hot and bin burnt. When
grain is stacked it should be allowed
to go through the sweat before

Community thrashing is desirable
where the farms are not large. The
individual farmer will get his thrash

cally where a group of farmers can
own and operate a thrashing outfit to-
gether.
See that the separator is we'll clean

and the scattering of weed from the
neighboring farms.
Watch carefully the working of the
machine to see that the grain is en-
tirely removed from the straw and
that the chaff is blown out.
Stack the straw, use it as feed or
bedding for live stock, and so convert
it into manure.

Iarly Hard to Handle.
Icehouses, despite their damp con-
tents and their simple structure, have
high place among special fire risks.
No kind of building is such paradox.
Apparently an icehouse is as safe
against fire as a pump log or mud
scow; yet give the flames but half a
chance and nine times in ten they work
total loss.
Under ordinary conditions an ice
house fire starts easily. The walls rise.

buildings. The saw tooth roofs could
not be better planned to catch sparks,
from passing trains.
And when the fire has started. 1t is.
uncommonly hard to master. In most
cases it gets an overpowering Roadway
before the fighters can assemble. Hy-'
drants are often lacking. If the build.
ings are full of ice and the covering
straw, the firemen can work only from
the outside; If the buildings are empty,
the great spaces give the flames both
draft and sweep. And the walls,
by their peculiar construction. double
or triple with twelve or eighteen inch
spaces within. packed with tan bark
or other combustible filling, usually
battle all attempts at reaching and ex-
tinguishing the well fed fire within
