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 rs sheathei
open and shingled. The cupola is
framed entirely with 2 by As. There
Is a downspout In the center of
each bin, These may be made
easily Of 1-inch by 1O-inch 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 r placed high
up under the gables in the grain bins,
and a 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 a good share Of
the farmers profits. so that a 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. n

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 1t by the ~elevating machinery
which is selected. In general, the
cupoia 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
q pit under the elevator shaft. There
Is sufficient headroom in the driveway
so that the front Of the wagon may
be lacked up In unloading. Minor
changes In such a 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 a 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.

Correspondence Of The Robesonlan.
Lumberton, r. 5, May 25-We OF
fer sincere thanks to our heavenly
Father for the recent refreshing
showers. :,
Our sympathy is extended Mr.. and
Mrs. Douglas Scott of East Lumber
ton, in the loss of their two-months-
old child. 1t died of colitis Monday:
The funeral services were conducted
by the writer Tuesday afternoon ard
interment was made in the family
cemetery.
Mr.. j. Ed Tyson had the misfor-
tune to lose his barn Wednesday
morning by lightning. The loss be
sides the barn was quite a quantl-
ty Of feedstuff. which as high-pric-
ed as everything is now leads US to
say we are mighty sorry about it.
It grieves US no little that Rev.
y. F. Davis is leaving the good old
Robson association. He is such a
good man, and we had learned to
love him so much. We are glad he
has been among us and hope the
people of his new field will be even
better to him than we have been
able to be, and our prayers shall fol-
low him.
We are very grateful to the Smyr-
ma correspondent for his kindly men
ton of our poor effort to adorn the
message heaven wants the people OF
earth to hear. 1t is an inexpressible
pleasure and a joy unspeakable tc
serve people so loyal, responsive
and appreciative as they who wor-
ship at Smyrna.
A new thought comes into our mind
this lovely afternoon which makes us
wish to be a poet that We might
harness the singing Of the birds, the
beauty of the flowers and the radi-
ant glow of the sunset into verse
But there are so many objects Of Gre
alton that call our attention to in
finite thought! The flower speaks
it's own language, though different
from all other languages. AS we
unfold it's petals we are profoundly
impressed with the majesty inbeddec
IN it. But it only reminds us more
and more of Him whose "name is as
ointment pored forth"

of teachers are to be congratulated
on the success of this session, in
spite of epidemics of measles, whoop-
ing cough and other hindrances they
have had to contend with. The mag.

gotten out is a splendid number. II

These demands, he said, would be

said. The original programme OF the

China BREAKS With
THE GERMAN empire
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS SEVER
ED AND MINISTER HANDED
HIS PASSPORTS.

Washington. March IA AmCric-
an Minister Reinsch, at Picking, to-
day reported To the State Department
that China had severed diplomatic re-
lations with Germany and that the
German Minister had been handed his
passports.
China has taken possession of all
German merchant ships in Shanghai,
about six IN number, placed their
crews on shore under guard, ana
placed armed guards on the vessels.
Advices TO the Navy Department to-
day from the senior office in Chinese
waters gave no further details.
Expected for Weeks.
China's severance OF relations has
been expected hero for weeks. The
action of the United States in break
ing relations was received with &C
claim by Chinese officials and press,
particularly young China. Feeling
against Germany has ran high, not
only because scores of Chinese on
the way TO Europe have lost their
lives through German submarine
operations, but from memory of the
Kaiser's orders to his Boxer punitive
force to- make the word German
dreaded in China for u century, and
the seizure by Germany of the whole
province of Shautung for the muir
der of two missionaries.
May Be Act Of War.
Seizure of the German ships may
be taken by Germany as an act OF
war as in the case of Portugal.
China's action may be followed by
seizure of German property in Chi
ma, which is very extensive. In nd
dition to all the concessions held by
Germany in Chinese cities, which IL
Is presumed will be seized as quasi
public property. there are extensive
private German holdings in China
Latest figures show that there are
about 5000 German civilians scat
tered throughout the republican, II
is not known whether they will be
informed.
