HIS CRAVE HEwN IN ROCK.

Nothing could be more appropriate IN dlspo-
sition of the mortal remains of Colonel Cody
(.sBuffalo Billy than the choice of a final
resting place for his body. In vault blasted
from solid rock on top of Lookout mountain,
twenty miles from Denver, all that is perish
able of the great plainsman lies. From that com
handing eminence wide sweep of vision takes
in an empire of that typical plains region which
he loved and which gave him his fame. 1t was,
in effect his empire. He trod it with intrepid
ity when none. but hostile Indians and savage
beasts were to dispute his sovereignty. He loved
the American wilderness. He glorifed it and
glazed it with romance by his picturesque ca
reer 1t is fitting that the temple of his spirit
should rest throughout the ages, in that spot,
overlooking the great expanse of country
which his courage and resonrcefuness helped
to subdue for the white and civilization.

One hundred million dollars for the Red
Cross is a large sum; but the cause is still
bigger.

At the annual meeting in Boston of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, it was stated that
the war relief fund of the organization amounted
to more than three hundred and ten thousand
dollars and that of this two hundred and sixty
four thousand dollars had been forwarded to
committees intrusted with the distribution and
to United States consulates in foreign lands. In
addition the First Church, as an organization,
has subscribed to two hundred and seventy-one
thousand dollars worth of Liberty bonds. Evil

the Christian Science denomination.

FOR GRAIN STORES
State Fire Marshal Says Far
merS Should Use All Care
in Preventing Fires.

INDIANAPOLIS June Is. - The
state fire marshal, during the past
month. has been carrying on an &C
tive campaign among the elevator
owners and operators of Indiana
against the needless destruction OF
grain stored in mills. elevators, and
other fod repositories.
1t is Of equal Importance. says
the fire marshal. that farmers and
owners Of granaries, corn-cribs and
other private farm property exercise
the greatest care about such build
ings and use every means Of safe
guarding them from the dangers OF
destruction by fire.
During the present crisis, tho
farmer should guard against the de
struction Of grain and other farm
products. This can best be accom-
plished by the exercise of a little
care in the matter Of fire proven
ton
Lightning rods, properly in
stalled. have demonstrated their use

from lightning. Where rods cannot
be obtained p system of wires strung
across the roof OF the barn and con-
nected with a grounding rod which
has been sunk 10 the proper depth,

RODS EFFECTIVE
/. FARM PROTECTION
State Fire Marshal Points Out
Ways to Prevent
Big Loss.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. June g.
The large number of farms ana other
farm property struck by lightning
within the past few weeks empha-
sizes more than ever the need OF
some sort OF protection for farm
buildings against lightning Statistics
prove beyond a doubt that lightning
rods. properly installed, are almost
an absolute protection against light
ming, and the state fire marshal
urges Indiana farmers TO adopt this
means OF protecting the valuable
grain and hay that goes into their
barns this season.
Just now, however. il may be Very
difficult to obtain standard lightning
rods. owing to the great demand
upon the country's copper and iron
resources. Where the standard rods
cannot be obtained. the following
temporary protection has been found
practical in other states:
An emergency lightning rod can
be constructed from any wire found
about the farm Barbed wire fences
woven fence wires. clothes line. any
thing of continuity and Of metal laid
over the building Crosswise or
lengthwise, or both, so long as it is
over the building at its highest point
