How to Build q Weir Box

The best type of weir To use is
known as n trapezoidal or Cippoletli
weir. The flow of water through this
type is, for all practical purposes.
proportional to the length of the
crest, so that il one has n table of
quantities for II one foot rippolciti
weir he may use the same for any
other length of weir crest.
The depth of water flowing over
the weir crest should not be less than
one inch nor greater than one-ihird
the length of the crest. IN designing
II weir. therefore. the amount desired
should be such rs to give depths of
flow within the above limits.
A weir box consists of ilune in
which is placed II vertical weir board
containing n weir notch. The hori-
zontal portion of the notch is termed
the "crest." IN cippolett wc;rs the
sides slope at the rate of one inch oul
and four inches up. For designing
II weir the following rules must be-
observed: The plane of the weir
notch must be- vertical and at right
angles to the direction of flow. The
height of the weir crest of the weir
should be at least three times the
maximum depth of water il is desired
To have flow through the notch. The
distance from the ends of the crest
Ia the sides of the weir box should
be- from two 10 three times the max.
imum depth of water flowing over
the crest. For wooden weir board.
the weir notch should have Il degree
bevel an the downstream side to give
II free fall and complete contraction.
For example: Let H. suppose thni
we have flow Of four cubic feet per
second and wish to design an eco.
nomical weir box. 4 wo-foot weir
with head of OIL feet will give n
flow of l.Ol second feet. A three.
foot weir with u head of O.54 foot
will give n flow of l.0l second feet.
a four-foot weir with u head of 0.45
foot will give flow of / 06 second
feet. The best one to select will de
pend upon the grade Of the ditch in
which the weir is To be- used. II will
he seen that the two foot weir would
require channel, above the weir.
2.84 feet deep: the three foot weir
would require channel PIG feet

require n channel $50 feet deep. Al
least six inches would have Ia be-
added Ia prevent wafer from over

GILL BROS. DOUBLE
FLOOR SPACE Big STORE

Gill Brothers have leased the build
ing adjoining that in which they are
now located and will use that in con-
nection with the present location for
a large general store. In the few
months that they have been here, they
have made many acquaintance and
established a reputation for square
dealing, that has brought to their
store such an amount of business that
they have outgrown their present
quarters. On or about February Is,
the adjoining building known as the
Lee building will be ready Tor occu-
pancy an arch having been cut be-
tween the two buildings and the new
store will give them a floor space of
$4,000 square feet. The new part will
be devoted exclusively to women and
children's read-to-wear garments. The
gentlemen who own this splendid
store have had a broad experience in
buying and handling merchandise Of
almost every description and are in
line to offer goods at prices that are
speaking loudly for a large increase
in business. We note that there is
evidence of great popularity on the
part of the gentlemen behind this
store and there is no doubt but that
either will warrant the extension of
their business.

Best Talent in City Secured
Fof Home Talent Affair."
Many New and Unique
Features Assvred for Night
of February 5th, at Armory

Following out their plans for the
most progressive year in the history
of the lodge, Valley City Lodge No.
&c, Knights of Pythias will, on the
night Of February fifth, put on what is
expected to be the biggest and most
successful minstrel show ever seen in
Valley City,
The plans for the performance have
been brewing for two months, the
membership has been searched for tai

local branch of the order has a mem
bership which in musical talent can
not be excelled, unequalled in Valley
City, it was decided to go ahead with
the production.
A unique feature of the entertain
ment will be the fact that none but K.
of P. members will take part. Charm
ing chorus girls, in dainty ball gowns
will be seen in many kinds of fancy
dancing and singing, but they will be
members Of the lodge, selected for
their beauty of face and form. Stall
wart "cullud men" will occupy the end
seats, but they will be business and
professional men Of the city, putting
aside their austere dignity for an ev-
ening, to give the public some hearty
laughs. Masculine song birds will be
introduced from time to time during
the program, grave and reverend bus.
mess men will dance the Highland
fling, give bewitching examples of the
old plantation "breakdown" or con.
=vu1se the audience with Irish and
Dutch diologue.
Local hits" will be the order of the
evening, with satirical farces, and
burlesques, and jokes will be uncork-

as far east as Massachusetts, south
as far as Arkansas and west to the Pa

ands of people.
The catalog this year is an attrac-

flowers. The Northern Seed Com
pany's Office is a busy one this week
as they are preparing $4,000 of these
catalogs for the mail.
Not only is it great undertaking
for the Seed Company to get these
catalogs into the mail, but the Times
Record shops have had their share of
the work. The entire catalog is man
ufactured and printed in this Office in

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
OF FEDERATION OF
W0hEN'S CLUBS

Mrs. Ellor C. Ripley, the assistant
superintendent of schools of Boston,
Mass, is chairman of the Education
Department of the General Federation
of Womans' Clubs. One of the lines
of work that Mrs. Ripley is urging is
the Elimination Of Illiteracy in the
United States. She has sent the fol-
lowing letter to the state presidents
of the Federated Clubs in each of the
48 states:
Boston, Mass, Jan. 8, 1915.
To the Presidents of the Federated
Clubs of States.
My Dear Madam President:
There is perhaps no larger service
possible to our great organization
than the elimination of illiteracy from
our .self-governed nation,
About five and half millions of
our ninety-two millions of people can
not read or write. In some states
there are hundreds of thousands of
illiterates and even in Iowa which has
the best record the percent of litter
acy is one and seven tenths-that is
for every thousand people of the state
there are seventeen who cannot read.
In the country at large the last cen
sus, 1910, showed over two and a
quarter millions of men of voting age
unable to read.
Illiteracy is not confined to race or
section. Boston had 1000 illiterates
in 1910, Pittsburg $4,000 and Balti-
more $4,000.
Because of the serious nature of
this condition, the Department of Ed
ucation asks your able assistance in
acquainting your clubs with facts in
regard to it. Under date of Decem-
Der IL, 1914, we sent to the chairman
of the Education Department of your
state chart showing the rank of your
commonwealth as compared with 9TH
er states, and also it's percent of illit-
eracy. We also suggested:
1. Presenting to clubs Of the state
the individual cruelty and social
menace of illiteracy.
2. Persuading the women Of your
state to join those of other states in
a campaign to eliminate illiteracy
from the country.
3. Pointing out that adults under
proper conditions learn to read
quickly.
The Department Of Education be-
lieves that you can render a great
and important service in informing
your clubs of the work to be done in
regard to illiteracy and in urging
them to some concrete effort to give
all citizens of your state an opportun-
ity to read. In North Dakota there
are 81 illiterates for every thousand
inhabitants.
Will you give this important work
your strong presidential support
speaking to clubs of the need and sug-
costing practical work to reduce illit-
eracy in your state?
