Farmers Have Problems to Solve.

Scores Of farmers are at loss to
know what to do with all of their
grain which will be threshed just as
soon as the weather permits. A good
granary pays for itself in a few sea-
sons. A good substantial granary can
be used for so many purposes that no
farmer should be- without one. With
lumber exceedingly reasonable this
year, there is bnoc reason why good,
substantial, commodious granaries
should not be built on every farm.
Once. your grain is under cover, the
elements will not harm it and you can

MISSING HEROES
Secretary Trying to Locate Members Of
Former Crew of Kroonland to
Whom Congress Awarded
Medals.

Washington, Nov. l3.--Information is
wanted by Secretary Redfield as to the
whereabouts of sixteen members Of the
former crew of the American steamer
Kroonland of the Red Star line, to whom
medals awarded by Congress for their
heroism in rescuing eighty-nine persons
from the burning steamer Volturno in
the North Atlantic ocean in October,
1913, remain to be presented.
Congress by resolution adopted March
Ia, 1914, expressed its thanks to the
Kroonland's officers and crew for their
work and appropriated $1,000 for the
purchase of gold watch and chain for
Captain Paul III. Kreibohm, and gold,
silver, and bronze medals for the others.
Secretary Redfield was authorized to
make the purchase and present them.
All of the Kroonland's officers and
crew, numbering forty, have received
their gifts except the sixteen men whom
Secretary Redfield is having considerable
in finding.
This is illustrated by the fact that OF
the men who have already received med
ais one was found in London and the
others in the Belgian army.

OFFER SACRED RICE TO
IMPERIAL ANCESTORS
Is One of Three Rites of Japanese
Coronation and is of Very An
cient Origin.

Kito, Nov. l3.--The Daijosai festival,
or grand Thanksgiving festival, the cere-
mony Of offering sacred rice to the i'm
perial ancestors and the gods and god
desses OF heaven and earth, began o-day
at the imperial palace. This ceremony
is one of the three great rites of the
coronation and is of very ancient origin.
When Ninigino- mikoto, the grandson
of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu Omika-
mi, founder of the Japanese imperial
dynasty, descended from the heavenly
domain, as it is additionally told, to
Mount Takachiho, in kyushu, and es-
tablished imperial headquarters there
he sowed the seeds of rice plants and
presented the first crop to the Sun God
dess before himself tasting the food.
This was the very beginning of the
Daijosai festival.
Rice constitutes the most important
daily food OF the japanese people, and
the land was, in the NEUROLOGICAL period,
called the Land of Sacred Rice. Since
that time the ceremony is observed as
an essential function by every ruler who
succeeds TO the throne. The rite was
ordained by an imperial edict issued by
Emperor Mutsuhito in 1871, three years
after his late Majesty's succession.
The central idea is that the new en-
peror, invested with the suzerainty of
the Land Of the Sacred Rice, offers TO
the imperial ancestors and the gods and
goddesses of heaven and earth the first
crop of the first harvest in his reign. 1t
is, therefore, observed as a state cere-
mony and not as a court ceremony.
Related TO it is a ceremony of minor |
which is annually held in
the imperial court on November 23 and |
simultaneously at the grand shrines at |
lse. Ii is called the harvest festival. As
the rice on which sixty millions of the
subjects of the imperial house sustain |
their lives had been granted by the i'm
perial ancestors. as related above, every /
sovereign of the land expresses his
thanks for the benevolence of the impe-
-ial ancestor in behalf of his millions of
subjects.
To pray for the plentitude of harvest
he emperor holds a ceremony on Feb
uary n every year before the imperial
sanctuary and the grand ancestral
hrines, beseeching an abundance during
he coming harvest. The ceremony and
he harvest festival are widely Observed
n every Shinto shrine through the
ength and breadth of the empire on
he some day, which is preserved as a
Iational holiday.
To-day's ceremony was preparatory 10

AWARDED BIGGER DAMAGES.
H. G. Barber Will Receive More From
Town of Brattleboro.

Brattleboro, Nov. l3-The three com
missioners who considered the matter OF
the award for land damage to Herbert
G. Barber for the taking of some OF his
property on Flat street for the purpose
of widening and strengthening the street,
filed their findings in county court yes
terday. They allow him sl,l00. The
commissioners were Judge T. L. 0'Brien
and A. l. Bolles of Bellows Falls and
Senator A. A. Dunklee of Vernon. The
hearings in the matter were held in the
early part of September. Their, is no
appeal from the findings of the commits
sion and the town of Brattleboro must
now pay to Mr.. Barber 81 LOO for the
land it took to straighten the street.
The selectmen rendered Mr.. Barber a
check for 1923 for 260 feet which the
town took, which was at the rate of So
cents a foot and Mr. Barber declined the
check. The award is at the rate of a
little over 81 cents a foot.
L. III. Richardson and w. X. Sparks,
other land owners on Flat street who
had property taken for the same pur-
pose at the same time, also appealed
from the awards of the selectmen, but
no commission has been appointed yet
10 consider the matter of damages In
their case. A total of 6ls.7 feet was
taken from Mr.. Richardson's property
and he was rendered check at the rate
of 90 cents foot, the five cents add.
tional in his case being because his prop
erty was adjoining Main street frontage
From Mr.. Sparks property
the town took 274.5 feet and rendered
the owner a check for sl37.25, which was
at the rate of 50 cents foot, but he de-
,lined il eventually and joined the others

MORE ABOUT
M0RSE'S OFFER
Mellen Continues His Testi-
mony in New Haven
Case
WAS INCLINED TO
TAKE $20,000,000
The Board of Directors,
However, Refused
the Offer

New York, Nov. 13.---The $20,000,00t
offer made by Charles w. Morse for th,
New York, New Haven & Hartford rail
road steamship properties in 1907 was
the subject of further testimony yes
terday at the trial OF the II former di
rectors Of the road on the charge oil
criminal violation of the Sherman law
Charles s. Mellen who testified Thurs
day that Theodore Roosevelt, while presi-
dent, had said that no federal action
would be taken against the New Haven
il it rejected Morse's offer and continued
to hold the steamships, was again on the
stand.
II was brought out yesterday that in
spite of A strong recommendation which
Mellen nevertheless made to the board
that the ships be sold, the board unani-
mously declined to accept the Morse of
fer. Their vote was taken at a meeting
held in February, 1900, shortly after
MelIen's interview with Roosevelt, ac-
cording 10 minutes of the meeting read
into the record.
The prosecution then began to put in
testimony to prove that
after this the New Haven took steps to
acquire other steamboat lines in pur
suanee of memorandum of Mellen to
the board of directors. that If the Morse
lines were not taken over, II would be
necessary to strengthen the New Haven
against the Morse competit on. There
were two lines. the Merchants and Min
FRS and the Windsor line which the New
Haven had its eyes on for this purpose,
the testimony seemed to show. As far
back as 1900 the New Haven had thought
Il advisable to get the Windsor, it was
brought out by a letter exchanged be-
.ween executive officials of the company.
md in 1908 tentative negotiations were
n progress for its purchase.
Action in that direction was taken on
Ian. II. 1907. when the directors Of the
New England Navigation company, a
New Haven holding company, voted to
efer the question of its acquisition to a
committee with power"
The line was later purchased. De Ian
ey Nicoll, for the defense, expressed the
ear that the war might end before this
rial.
