KNOW THY COUNTRY
Introductory

"Know America" is a slogan that
should ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this ma
ton. No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become capable citi-
zen, and no one can merit so dis
tinguished title until he is we'll in
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country. a..
This is a commercial age and civ
ilization is bearing its most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa-
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the worlds history as pow
erful products of their age. For, stand
ing at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the COM
mereial geniuses of this age would
have been the sculptors, poets, phil
iosophers, architects, and artists Of
earlier civilizations.

be at least 16 feet above the ground.
Connect these posts by placing a Ike
board at the top on each side of the
square, and Ike on the inside of the
four sides, joining the top and side
boards together in the form of half
square. The completion of the circle
is built on the ground and requires
six 1x12 boards IA feet long. Take
four of them to make square. Now
saw four half lengths and place across
the corners. Then find the circle. This
is easy with pencil, a cord and a
stake in the center of the ground in
tended for q silo. After the circle
frame has been finished, raise it to
the top of the connected 2x4s and
nail securely.
1.-TWO 2x4s 20 feet high will con-
struct the door. Through these 2x4s
u 3-8-inch holes should be drilled, a
foot apart at the bottom, the distance
gradually increasing towards the top.
Drill four 5-8-inch holes five feet
apart. Then start with the flooring.
The first piece will be attached up
right to one of the door posts and the
others Joined, small nail being used
at the top. When the circle has been
completed run u wire bands around
it. Each band should have four
strands wound tightly together.
Twelve Is inch hooks should be placed
in the holes provided for them in the
door posts, and the wire attached.
The end extending into the door
should have a long thread, so that
bolts may be used for tightening and
loosening. The 5s-inch rods for the
doorway which are intended to hold it
solid should not be more than "a
inches long and the threads at each
end should allow for tap and washer
in addition to the bolts.
The closing of the door is simple
process. Build from the bottom on
the inside of the door with pieces of
fir flooring, fastening each with small
nails. A small piece of building pa
per placed inside the door from top
to bottom will make. the silo air-proof.
In emptying the silo board at time,
as needed, may be removed"
Mr.. Smith does not put roofs on his
silos. They are not necessary, he says,
and the absence of a roof permits the
filling of the siIo to the top. The
circle square allows easy access to the
top when being filed. A ladder may
be used if desired, but Mr.. Smith has
found that threaded hooks extending
on each inside of the door provides a
suitable substitute
THE main thing to emphasize" Mr..
Smith says, sis to tramp the silage
down around the inside of the silo, es-
pecially near the walls. Two men
should be worked at this and they
should know that much depends on the
way they work"

Total cost of materials. $4,000
In addition to this the time of two
men for one day is necessary to bring
the cost even to $50.-From figures
by F. w. Smith of the Bonita Farm,
near Raymore, Mo-, who has four
silos none of which cost more than
$45.
"Sell a cow, build silo and have a
few dollars left over from the pro-
ceeds. Or, better still, sell three cows
and build four silos, each of a 50-ton
capacity"
This is the philosophy of F. w.
Smith, president of the Bonita Guern-
sey Cattle company, located on a 200
acre. farm four and one-haf miles
northeast of Raymond, Mo. And Mr..
Smith wasn't forced to build cheap
silo, either, for he had the money to
buy more expensive one if necessary.
But he had heard that down near
East Lynne, Mo-, in German settle
ment, they had been using homemade
silos for several years with success.
And the cost of a 5O-ton silo was less
than $50, they found.
Mr.. Smith investigated four years
ago. As a result he built four silos for
about $3.50 actual cost and they are
in as good condition now, he believes,
as when built And will be equally
as good for several years to come.
1.-TWO men can build 50-ton silo
in one day." Mr. Smith said recently:
"The process is simple. Nine hun
bred feet of fir flooring, few other
pieces of cheaper lumber, some hooks
that any blacksmith can make, hun
bred pounds of wire and few nails
is all that is necessary"
Here is the way Mr.. Smith built
his silos, figuring single one at II
feet in diameter and 20 feet high to
hold so tons:
"No foundation is necessary. Level
a piece of ground as near the feed
barn door as possible, erect circle
frame IA feet square. To do this
set four posts in square, IA feet
apart. Any kind of post may be used,
2x4s being satisfactory They should

PENSIONERS TO GET
 SIXTY PER CENT
Increase in Number Will Re- duce Amount to be Paid to Confederate Pensioners

Little Rock, Aug. 4.-More than 12 per cent increase in the number of Confederate pensioners in the state is shown in the reports from 50 of the 75 county pension boards solar lat the office of the state auditor. The state pension board will approve the applications for pensions, and officials of the auditors office are endeavoring ito secure the reports from all counties before that time.
 1t is estimated that the pen sioners will not receive more than 65 per cent on their pen ion warrants this year, because of the large increase in the number of applications with out an increase in the fund. The last legislature passed a law making the conditions for applicants more liberal, which accounts for the heavy increase despite the deaths during the year.
 Last year the 50 counties hada total of 5,888 pensioners. This year the total will be G. 515. There were 1,085 new applications and 486 deaths. Garland, Lonoke, and St. Fran cis counties showed a decrease in the number of pension appii- cants. Union county had the largest increase, 43.

BRITISH TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Government Operation of Lines Is Proving Unsatisfactory, Expensive
 and Inefficient.

Little Rock-A copy of the Shelf field. England, Daily Telegraph re- gently received here contains an arti- ele that would indicate that there is more complaint in that country over governmentowned telephones than ever was known by private tele- phone company in this country. The article went on to say:
 The postmaster-ge general is said to have complained some time ago that he could not dine out, either in public or in private, without hearing about those confounded telephones The grumbles have not yet ended; there was sort of eliminating outburst of them in the house of commons recent ly. when all the hard things that could he said even about the telephone servz ice were said with the utmost em- phasis
 "The service was said to be ineffi- cient and expensive; it's management was declared to be outrageously at fault; painful comparisons were drawn with the former system under company management and it was pointed out that the governments profit through duties levied on the National Telephone company was ac- tually greater than its present profit as owner of the service. Altogether this experiment in state monopoly looks like anything but a success. But the postmaster general is seemingly impenitent; and anyhow he has the telephones and means to stick to them. so there is no help for il. But one hopes, for the credit Of the post office. that an effort will be made 10 give tha public more satisfaction than it has recently had

Two A[iDe of IO6 Who
 Soldiered 54 Frs Ago

Fifty-four years ago today, August 5, 1861, Uncle Bob Adams left Jacksonport, where he enlisted in the Confederate army, to go to Pocahontas where his company was join ed by others, and they were transported by boat to Hick- man Ky.
 Company B. in which he en- listed, contained 106 men. They left Jacksonport on a steamer and on the trip en route to Pocahontas one man fell overheard and was drown led. His company entered ac- tual service with 105 men, and of that number there are now only two living-Uncle Bob Adams who now lives at Oil Trough, and ". J. Sherrill whose home is at RussellviIIe.
 Uncle Bob celebrated his .seVenty-fourth birthday short time ago and has been a resi- dent of Oil Trough and Big Bottom since he was four years old. He is still hale, hearty and active, and bids fair to each the century mark.

ARKANSAS MAN TO
 SAVE U. s. BIG SUM
Saving of $200,O00 a Year For Government is Due Wholly To Arkansas Man

Washington, D. C., Aug.3.- As the result of an announce ment by the Treasury Depart ment today that, beginning August 16, all shipments of money to national banks and subtreasuries will be made by mail instead of express, the government will save about $200, 1000 annuanlly, which foI 25 years or more has been go ing to express ompanies.
 The announcement is the re suit of a movement riginally started six years ago by Ma than B. Williams of Fayette- vile, Ark, at present practic- ing attorney here, who is look ed upon as an authority on pos tai matters. About a year ago Mr. Williams took. up the mat ter with James l.. Wilmeth of Prescott, Ark, chief clerk of the Treasury Department. Mr. Wilmeth was impressed with the saving that could be eff fected. but the European war intervening, he was sent to Europe in charge of the dis tribution of relief money to stranded Americans. Later he again took the matter up but was met with strenous opposi- tion to the plan by Post Office Department officials. The mat ter finally was adjusted and announcement was made today by Acting Secretary of Treas ury Newton that, beginning August Is, all shipments of money will be made by mail to subtreasuries. The money will be franked out. while money sent to and from national banks will be paid for by the banks.

FINE YIELD OF POTATOES

P. H. Hulsey of Dunnington is the champion potato grow CT of the county, when it comes to making a big yield.
 Last spring Mir. Hulsey planted two bushels of Trium- ph potatoes and one bushel of the Burbank variety. He dug the Triumph some time ago and reported a yield of 30 bushels from the two bushels of seed potatoes planted. This is considered an extra good yield, but when he dug the Burbanks a few days ago he found that they had made a far greater yield than the Tri- umph. He measured them up carefully and found that from the one bushel of seed potatoes planted he secured a yield of 21 bushels.
 This is the largest yield of potatoes to the amount of seed planted ever reported in this section. and if anyone can beat 1t the Journal would like to hear from them.
