A Second Appeal

TWO weeks ago the Telephone Company
quested all telephone to please refrain
from asking the operators for the correct time, ex~
planning that this request necessary because
of the considerable volume Of such calls which,
if eliminated would SO reduce the abnormal
calling volumes permit Of a redistribution
of both operators service and telephone equip
ment, and result in the Compapys ability TO
care for the very heavy telephone demands of the
present and the even greater demands for service
which are expected in the months come.
1t was explained that the same service the
part of the operators, the same length Of time,
and an equal general use of telephone equipment
necessary to answer such questions as are
required to complete ordinary connection.
While the response this request has been
very gratifying and the volume Of such calls has
decreased appreciaby, the burden has not been
entirely lifted.
We, therefore, again bring the matter to the
attention of those users of the service who did
not read or who not impressed by our
earlier appeal, urging them to discontinue the
practice of depending upon the telephone oper-
ator for the correct time.
| The Telephone Company feels that it count
| on a continuation Of the pubic's helpful atti~
tude which will be of very real assistance in
meeting the ever-ncreasing volumes of tee-
phone calls and demands for telephone service.

Corporal Brant, Amer
lean, Noted Lecturer
to Speak Here, July s

Corporal Brant of the Canadian
Army gives a very interesting talk on
his experiences in the trenches.
Corporal Brant is a great big broad
shouldered smiling, good looking
Irish chap. We do not think that
more than one Hun would insult him
and get away with it. In fact, in his
very interesting talks he tells about
two that tried it and as he very mod
estly stated, they are still lying over
there some place. What seems to
leave such lasting impression upon
us is the very modest quiet assuming
way that these heroes from the
trenches tell us Of their brave deeds.
A person would draw conclusion from
what they say that they were not big
and brave and strong as we know
them to be. Corporal Brant is indeed
a rapid fire gun. He shoots remarks
out over the top and before you hardly
have chance to realize the full
meaning of what he has said he has
shot another volley at you. If the
whole Canadian army are as full of
pep as he is it is mighty good thing
for Germany that all of the soldiers
over there are not Canadians. To
Corporal Brant we as an association
owe much to you and to all Of the
other boys fighting for the cause OF
Democracy. May the war soon be

Of Metre Grove erected the second
silo in Grove township during the
summer of 1904. This silo was also
built inside the barn and was twelve
times thirty-one in size, height above
the I foundation twenty1six feet depth
five feet.
Herman 81. Meyer erected the third
silo in Grove township during the
summer of 1906, which was panel
silo sixteen times twenty-five, height
above the foundation eighteen feet,
depth of pit seven feet. This was the
first silo erected outside of the barn.
Mr.. Meyer now owns two silos and
has one located inside of his large
dairy barn. The fourth silo erected
in the township was built by Herman
Imdieke, ST., in the summer of 1909.
This was brick silo and is at the
present time the only brick silo in
the township. The fifth silo was
erected by Ben Meyer in the summer
of 1910 which was a panel silo built
inside the barn. =.
This report shows that five silos
were in use in Grove township during
the winter of 1910-11. Silo erection
was at stand-still in the township
during the years of 1911-12. In the
summer of 1913 two silos were built
two more in 1914, five more in 1915,
four in 1916 and five in 1917.
The Farm Bureau office will have
completed within the next few weeks
silo and registered live stock can
vass for every township in the county
Returns are now in from eleven of
the thirty-seven township in the coun-
ty. From the townships so far re-
ported Grove leads both in number of
silos and registered live stock owned.
However, twenty-three silos is a COM
paratively small number for town
ship ranking as high as Grove does
in dairying. 1t is hoped that the sum-
mer of 1918 will surpass all previous
years in the number of silos erected.
More high class registered stock has
been brought into the township dur
ing the past year than during all
previous years. Purchases have been
made from the w. S. Schilling herd at
Mortified, Mimi, from the E.
Schroeder herd at Moorhead, Mimi,
from the John B. Erwin herd at Mime
apohs and from the o. J. Grover herd
at Glynden, MINI. These breeders are
recognized as being among the lead
ing Holstein breeders in the state
and most of them are known through
out the country. All of the first
three breeders named have owned at
various times worlds record stock.

Ferdinand Eveslage, township as
SCISSOR for the township of Grove
working in cooperation with the
Stearns County Farm Bureau, has
collected the following data relative to
silos in Grove township.
Grove township is recognized as be-
ing one of the leading dairy centers
of Stearns county. Mr.. Eveslage's re-
port, collected at the time he was
carrying on his work in assessing
farm properties shows that there was
in use during the winter of 1917-18
twenty-three silos in his township.
The make and design of these silos
are divided as follows: Seven stave,
eight panel, three concrete, two ce-
ment block, two double wall and one
brick.
The diameter of these silos is as
follows: Sixteen fourteen foot dia-
meters; four sixteen foot diameters;
two twelve foot diameters and one
fifteen foot diameter.
The height above the foundation
show the following variations: One
silo owned by Charles Winning at
Greenwald had a height of thirty
seven and one half feet above founda-
ton. Ten silos had height of thirty
feet above the foundation. Two twenty
eight feet; three, twenty six feet; one
twenty-five; two, twenty-four; three
twenty; one eighteen.
Depths of pits for silos in this town.
ship are found as follows: Two silos
had cement pits seven feet deep; four
six feet; nine, five feet; five, four feet;
one, three feet; one, two feet; one,
one foot.
In regard to locating silos inside or
outside of the barn the silo owners in
this township are found quite equally
divided. Eleven silos being built in
side the barn and twelve outside. 1t
is noted however, that most Of the
silos erected during the past three or
four years have been built outside.
In the summer of 1917 five silos were
erected in, Grove township. Four of
these were built outside. In the sum-
mer of 1916 four silos were erected
and all of these were built outside.
The first silo in Grove township was
erected by Henry Meyer Holstein
breeder living about mile north of
Metre Grove. This silo was a stave
fourteen by twenty-nine built five and
one-half feet in the pit and twenty
four feet above the foundation, located
inside the barn and built in the sum
mer of 1901. ..

NOISE IS NOT PATRIOTISM.

This wear of all others is the time
for a safe and sane Fourth OF July
celebration. Independence Day with
the nation at war should be a
thoroughly patriotic observance. The
old-time riot of noise, death, fire and
destruction, which was supposed to
show patriotism, would be very much
out of place under present conditions.
The country needs the powder, and 1t
needs to protect the life and limb
which were sacrificed in the former
observance, and the millions of prop
erty which regularly went up in smoke
and flame.
The Sane Fourth movement has
made remarkable progress in the past
few years, and this year should see
the end of the old absurdity of eel
ebrating the nations birthday with
pistols and crackers, with their in
evitable accompaniment of racing am
balances and changing fire engines.
The deaths from Fourth of July cas-
ualties, which were 466 in 1908, had
been reduced by 1917 to II, while the
injuries, which were 1888 in the first
year, fell last year to 1876. Formerly
the firemen expected to be kept on
the jump all day on the Fourth, but
other cities where fireworks have been
for several years, in Chicago and
prohibited, the number of alarms has
actually been below the daily average.
With this record it should hardly
need the recommendations of the
State Councils of Defense and the
Fire Marshals to secure municipal
orders and individual cooperation
against the use of explosives on the
Fourth. The United States is likely
to burn powder enough this year with
out wasting any of it on Iendepend-
ence Day. It's list of dead and wound
ed in the cause of liberty will be long
enough without adding to it in an an
tiquated and absurd observance of the
Fourth Of July.

had the chance once. That was at the
beginning of the war, when we were
unprepared; when we had few men,
old style guns and blank ammunition
when we entered many of the engage
ments. If Fritz had had enough punch
at the beginning of the war he could
have marched through to Paris. taken

there with the punch.
''The spirit of the boys is just as
good today as when they first hit the

81 can say to our American peo-
pie to be of good cheer as far as re-
serves behind the lines. The Allies
have tho reserves, never fear. The
Germans had a chance to push through
in 1914, but they have never had a
chance since, and will not get any.
There is no sacrifice too great to WIN
the war. The main trouble with the Al
lies is that they seen to be entirely too
lenient and reluctant to use any unfair
methods, while the Huns delight in do
ing the terrorizing things. The cap
tured Huns, however, all seemed to be
glad to be out of it and take kindly
to prison."
