Killed by Spider Bite.

J. E. Lawson, 65 years of age,
we'll known farmer of near
Richards, died Monday morn
ing at 8 o'clock at his home as a
result of being bitten by spider
about ten days ago. The poison
from the spider bite, although it
did not cause him much pain,
caused a very severe kidney
trouble and he sank rapidly,
says Mondays Ft. Scott Tri-
bune.
MIR. Lawson came to the coun-
try near Richards about twelve
years ago from Shelby, la. He
is survived by one son, Ernest,
who made his home with him,
and one daughter, Mrs. Min
ME Pierce of Chicago.

Build silos to Save Immature
Corn,

The lateness of planting, the
slow growing season., and heavy
rains, all point toward a large
percentage Of immature corn
this fall. What are you going 10
do with your soft corni Are you
prepared to lean it"f
The live stock farmer can
profitably utilize this soft corn
by putting it into silo. The silo
is an investment which pays
high interest on the live stock
farm. The man who has no silo
will have to do the best he can.
Now is the time to build the
silo while filling season is sew
eral weeks distant. A silo to
be successful must be air tight,
the walls smooth, and strong
enough to Withstand the out
ward pressure Of the silage. A
silo that meets these require
ments will be successful regard
less of the material with which
it is built.
Bulletin 1873 and other publ
cations on silos and silage by the
Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment station at Columbia con-
tain valuable hints on silos and
the use of silage. Free plans
and Instructions for building
concrete silos can also be OBJ
tanned. A man will be sent to
help start the silo, where the
farmer desires and is willing to
pay his travelling expenses.

 But if you talk with Secretary Frank lin K. Lane and Jhe members of the Alaska railway commission you como away quite convinced that no decis- lon has been reached. And then, if you ask the president upon whom the whole award depends finallS you are more convinced than ever that determination is still in the future.

 Home Rule for Ireland, the most marvellous achievement Of all time since civilization Tas evolved in the womb of tho dead centuries. The Irish National spirit will never fade.

CANADA MAY GET
 MONEY IN U. s.

NEW YORK.-The Canadian minis ter Of finance declares that the Do- mlnlon must borrow $100000,00O a year until the war is over Ordinar- lly the Dominion would have no trou. ble in securing the money in London and may have no difficulty as soon as the British war loan Is absorbed. The Dominion has responded loyaIly, enthusiastically even. 10 Che call for troops; England with thc big loan of the dominant government out ot the way. would undoubtedly assist the colony gladly. But bankers and oth- CT thoughtful students or trade in this country will be disappointed i1 Canada is obliged to resort to the London mar ket. They would much prefer to have the Canadian loans foated here.
 1T there were no objection from Washington, a Canadian government offering would be assured of a hearty reception in this city Sentiment would of course, play its part. pro- Canadian feeling being even moro pro- nounced than is the pro-British But sentiment apart offering 8 Canadian loan here would be received heartily for pure business and commercial reasons, as emphasizing cordial rela- dons between this country and one of its best customers, as tending to even more intimate commercial asso- ciadon and as supplying that custo- mer with funds useable for its own business and for purchases in the states. The new relations establish. ed with South American countries are experimental; there is nothing chimerical or.rislsy in promoting trade with the bis British possessions in North America
