A good way to make the cnsilage
keep at the top of silo when it is

through the silo filler just before it is

dampen them. This covering does
away with about half of the spoiled

Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Lampman, to take

he was there for than the boy jumped
through window, ran swiftly to the
river and jumped in. A yacht was an
chored some distance out and young
Iampman waded out and hid behind the
boat The water was so deep at that
point that after a short time he found
he would be unable to keep his head
above so he began wading toward the
shore, saying he would come to land II
Mr.. Martin would not touch him. Watch
ing his chance, when I.ampman was
about ten feet from shore, Mr. Martin
jumped in and got him, but he was
obliged to tie the boy into the automobile
to bring him to this city. He Will be
taken to Vergennes Friday morning.
The boy was a truant from school ana
his parents had entered a complaint,
saying that he was incorrigible and they
wanted him placed under restraint.

"UNFRIENDLY ACT"
SAYS LONDON PRESS

London, July 26. II 80 p. Nall the crew
OF the American steamer I.eelanaW are
expected at Dundee tomorrow when II will
be possible to obtain a full account of the
sinking of the vessel by a German sub
marine off the Orkney islands Sunday
night The episode has created wide
spread discussion in England, coming as
II did almost coincdental with the deliv
cry OF the American note to Germany.
Only meaere accounts Of the destruc-
ton of the Leelanaw have been received
here, but 1t Is clear that the submarine
gave the commander Of the steamer am
pie warning, even permitting the crew to
collect part of their effects before taking
them aboard the underwater craft. which
then, through the combined use of shells
fire and bombs. sent the vessel to the bot =
tom.
The London evening papers in telling
of the incident, employ, in some cases,
suggestive captions, such as IAN I'M
friendly act" But because the Amer
lean note laid So much stress on the de-
mand that American lives on merchant
ships should not be jeopardized without
warning, it was difficult for the English
mind to determine whether the sinking Of
the chip after the crew were taken of
constituted what America would regard
as repetition of acts she insists must
cease.
F. H. Dennison, the American consul
at Dundee has the matter In charge. He
sent the Associated Press the following
message tonight,
mo details yet except crew landed at
