discredit Of some corn growers this
method of storing is still in vogue,
even in sections where good means of
storing could be afforded at little ex-
pense. It is no uncommon sight to
see rail pen after rail pen filed with
ears of corn and without any cover,
exposed to all the rains and SHOWS of
winter, and these in sections Of the
country that produce the most corn
and are consequently most interested
in higher-priced corn. This corn re-
mains in apparently good condition
during the cold weather and is usually
placed upon the market in early
spring. Filled with water; it is not
long after it is loaded into box cars
or vessels until it heats and spoils.
The installation of elevators where
such corn can be kiln dried has been
brought about by this poor manner of
storing the corn crop. There is q
general prejudice against kiln-dried
corn, resulting from the fact that kiln
| drying was first employed and is at
present employed to a very large ex-

CHAPTER XIV.
Discovery.

He was up and out in the cool Of
dawn, before sunrise, delaying to listen
for some minutes at the foot of the
stairway. But he heard no sound in
that still house, and there was nc
longer the night to alright the woman
with limited threats of nameless hor
rors lurking beneath its impenetrabld
cloak. He felt no longer bound to
stand sentinel on the threshold of her
apprehensions. He went out.
The day would be clear. In the
white magic of air like crystal trans
lucent and motionless, the world
seemed more close-knitted and sane.
What yesterdays yelling of haze had
concealed was now bold and near. In
the north the lighthouse stood like a
norm on the brow of the headland, the
lamp continuing to flash even though
its light was darkened, its beams out
stripped by the radiant forerunners
of the sun. On the nearer land hui
man life was quickening; here and
there pale streamers of smoke swung
up from hidden chimneys on its wood
ed rises.
Whitaker eyed them with longing.
But they were distant from attain
ment by at the least three miles of
tideway through which strong waters
raced. He wagged q doubtful head,
and scowled; no sign in any quarter
of a boat heading for the island, no
telling when they'd be taken off the
cursed place.
In his mutinous irritation, the
screaming of the gulls. over in the
west, seemed to add the final touch
of annoyance, q superfluous addition

The mistake is sometimes made of

.LIFE-sAvERs TO FLY
Uncle Sans Coast Guard Plans
i to Use AirpIanes.
Will Be Able to Carry Lines to
Wrecked Ships and Rescue Many
Who Otherwise Might Perish,

Uncle Sans coast guards soon will
be using airplanes to rescue passen-
gers and sailors from ships wrecked
alorg the coast of the United States.
Authority for the adoption of these
new life-saving methods already has
been granted by congress.
1t is quite naturally the idea of
officials that in the saving of human
life and property from the elements.
which is one of the principal functions
OF the coast guard, advantage should
be taken of all new inventions and
methods. Officials OF the guard are
OF the opinion that aviation has ad-
vanced to such stage that aircraft
as now constructed and developed can
be used adyantageously in the activi-
ties of the coast guard.
It has been pointed out by those who
are interested in this new branch of
| the service that when a shipwreck oc-
ours too far from the shore to be
reached with the line-throwing gun,
| and the state of the sea makes it i'm
| possible to use the service boats, it is
believed possible to carry a line to
the wreck by means of an airplane,
and thereby effect the rescue of per-
sons who might otherwise perish. The
| finding Of derelicts soon after they are
| first reported is of such vital impor-
tance that their ultimate recovery and
removal from the paths of commerce
ofttimes depends entirely upon the
rapidity with which they are definitely
located, the experts say. The value
of airplanes in this connection has
| passed beyond the realm of specula-
| ton, and there is now no doubt that
the use of aircraft will greatly facili-
tate this important work of the coast
guard, the supporters of the move
ment say.
| Anticipating that the coast guard
must adopt this new method of life
saving as soon as practicable, three ju-
nior officers have already been as
| signed to undergo training at naval
aviation and private schools, in order
to form the nucleus of a force trained
for aviation purposes. Aside from the
humanitarian possibilities of this prop
osition, it is pointed out that aviation
facilities provided for the coast guart
will be valuable addition to nava
aviation equipment in time of war.

Some consideration should be given
to the effect that the change in loco
motion will make upon the physique of
the people; for even the farmers are
now using the automobile. and the
horse is used for little. but draft pur-
poses. Will not the race become lax
and nerveless that lolls upon soft cush-
ions, protected in every way from the

more, machinery is brought into serv
ice, and less and less physical exertion
is required in the carrying on oe open

question is whether it confers an actual
