New National Bank for Atlantic

Defeated In their endeavor to estab-

City, former Mayor VIM. Riddle and
his friends are now getting ready to
take out a charter for a national bank
in that city. Mr.. Riddle thinks that
he was unjustly treated by the State
authorities who refused them a charter,
and cited that a prominent County
official, who at one time was declared a
bankrupt, and a leading lawyer in At
lantlc City, who was made resign from
a former Riddle bank because of over
drawn accounts, were among the At

1t has come to light that a bill intro
duced this week by Senator Stevens,
Of Cape May, would reduce the term
of the State purchasing agent from five
to three years. The position is now
held by Edward E. Grosscup, of We
nonah, chairman of the State Demo-
cratic committee. The Stevens bill
would make the term OF Mr.. Grosscup
expire during the administration of
Governor Edge aud would naturally
result in the appointment of a Repuo-
lican. There is a good deal of specula-
ton as to whether the associates of
Senator Stevens in the majority party
will concur in the bill.-Public Ledger,

To Stir up Health Officers

From the Public Ledger.
The State Board of Health will prob
ably decide mex week to urge the pass
age of a bill giving it power to revoke
the licenses of health officers who have
demonstrated their incompetency or
have failed in the performance of their
official duties. Such action Is Indirect
ly the result of an opinion given by
Attorney General We4cott that the
board was without authority to revoke
the license of the health officer of Wild
wood, who was charged with being
derelict in the handling of cases of in
fantile paralysis during the epidemic
of last summer.

A cup elevator is built in the CEN
ter of the building which takes grain
from the boot on the floor, eieyates it
to the cupola and deposits it in hop
per. From this hopper the small grains
are delivered by spout to the different
grain bins and ear corn is distributed
in the same way to the different parts
of the four cribs.
Because the load of the grain when
the bins are full is considerable, this
structure must be strongly built. The
foundations are important, and must

BY WILLIAM A. BRADFORD.

AT this time 1t is particularly neces-
sary that the farmer do everything in
his power to prevent waste of grain
and other foodstuffs. A great deal
depends upon his ability to turn out
record crops and his wisdom in caring
for new crops until the produce is
placed on the market. There is new
interest In the construction of corn
cribs and granaries.
The building shown in the accom-
panying Illustrations is an excellent
type for the average farmer. 1t is a
combined corn crib and granary built
with two stories, 20 by 40 feet on the
ground. The height Is IS feet to the
caves. There are corn cribs at tine
sides and grain bins overhead, in the
center. "A driveway 10 feet wide,
having 10 feet Of headroom. runs
through the center below the bins.
Such building saves wastage, losses

May Account for coIors.

What wns the color Of the original
man? There is an old legend that
Adam was red, based on the nssump-
ton that it was red earth (triturated
"old red sandstone" perhaps) from
which the Almighty nodded him; but
Tabari, the Arabian theological his
torian, asserts that, when God wished
to make Adam he instructed Gabriel to
bring him handful of every sort Of
clay--black, white, red, yellow, blue
and every other kind. This perhaps,
was intended to explain how Adams
descendants became so many-coored.
DeQuatrefages, who chalnpioned the
monogenist idea, found reasons for
thinking that the first human species
had yellowish complexion and red
hair.

each bin to hold the studs in place
against the pressure of the grain. The
bins are sealed inside with flooring.
The rafters are by As sheathed
open and shingIed. The cupola is
framed entirely with by As. There
is a downspout In the center of
each bin. These may be made
easily of 1-inch by 10-inc.i boards,
a wooden slide gate with hand hole
being provided at the lower end, or
sheet metal spouts may be used, the
sheets being riveted together. The
upper ends of the spouts are securely
fastened to the joists.
Six-light windows are placed high
up under the gables in the grain bins,
and window is placed in each end of
the cupola. Double sliding doors are
used at the ends of the driveway,
these doors being hung on roller bear
ing hangers mounted on protected
steel tracks. The contents of this
building represents good share of
the farmers profits, so that small
investment In lightning protection is
money wisely spent. At least one
lightning rod should be used, mounted
on the peak of the cupola roof and
grounded by the shortest route. If
the equipment within the building con-
sists of any extensive metal parts,
these should also be grounded
through the lightning rod conductor.
The building must, of course, con-
form to any special demands made
upon it by the elevating machinery
which is selected. In general, the
cupola must be constructed so that
corn and grain may be delivered by
chute to the cribs and bins from the
elevator head. The floor must, for
some elevators, be constructed with
pit under the elevator shaft. There
Is sufficient headroom in the driveway
so that the front of the wagon may
he lacked up in unloading. Minor
changes In such building are easily
made, but the principal point to be
considered is the strength of the struc-
ture. This building has been very
carefully designed for strength with
economy Of materials considered. The
farmer will do well to be sure that
any building which he intends to erect
for similar purpose be carefully
checked over by someone who has ex-
perience in the construction of grain
loads and the strength of building ma
terials-
