5000 NEW SfLos THIS FALL
Iowa Farmers and Pure Bred Raisers
Are Building More siIos Every
. Year-Are Proftinq Thereby

When silo filling time arrives, there
will be at least (, 900 more silos to fill
in Iowa than there were two years
ago. That is conservative estimate,
according to the agricultural engineers
at Iowa State college. More and more
the men who own and operate Iowa's
first class farm land are becoming con.
WINGED that a silo is necessary for the
best and most profitable farming and
livestock feeding.
I 'SilO filling will be under way before
long. There is some slight difference
of opinion when corn should be put
into the silo, yet the general practice
Is to begin when the corn is denied, in
the dough stage, or when about one
fourth of the husks and the lower
leaves are turning brown. The nearer
the corn is to maturity the more food
value it has, but it must be cut before
it is too mature and dry. ''''E
Generally, farmers in Iowa set their
silage cutting machines to cut the corn
in one-half to three-quarter inch
lengths. A longer cut is more econom.
ical from the standpoint of rapid fill
ing Of the silo, but a short cut makes
1t possible to get more corn into a
silo and also irlsures less waste in
In dilling it is essential to
pack the corn in closely and with a
good supply Of moisture. If the corn
ltself is rather dry, then water must
be added to make the corn moist. y

count Of 1arberry Bush

CARROLL, Aug. ga barberry
bush growing in the yard at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis Gray of this
city is the cause, incidentally, of per-
sonal encounter and a $4,000 damage
suit.
f.. Thorne and P. D. Joseph, two
representatives of the agricultural de-
partment at Iowa State college, de-
stroyed q barberry bush on the Gray
home property. Some feeling was en-
gendered because Of the act, and the
state agents called at the Gray home
later to talk it over. Mr.. Gray ques-
toned the right OF the men to trespass
and destroy the bush and hot words
made up the running discussion that
ensued. Finally they came to blows.
Mrs. Gray was present, but her impor-
tunities for peace proved unavailing.
The outcome is suit for $4,000
damages brought by Mrs. Gray against
F. J. Thorne and p. d. Joseph for in
vasion Of her home and for alleged a IS
sault. 1t is said that Mrs. Gray has
been suffering from nervous shock
since and Mr.. Gray has been suffering
from wounds inflicted by his assailant.

THEATRES


Book plays are generally more sue
cessful than others. principally be-
cause of the interest the reading pub
lie takes in the dramatist's work OF
making living and breathing people
out of the drawing upon the pages OF
a book. A particularly good example
of a successful book play is the new
comedy, Title" in which klaw &
Erlanger and George c. Taylor are
presenting that charming young
actress, Patricia Collinge, the present
season, and who comes here for the
first time as star.
The comedy, which is in four acts
is based upon the popular novel
"Tillie, Mennonite Maid" by Helen
r. Martin, the dramatization having
been made by the authoress in cola
boration with Frank Howe, Jr. The
supporting company is a most excel
lent one and the production very arts

or even all those who suspended
of these did not actually participate
in the fighting, and therefore had no
combatants AS a result it has been
decided that the only nations to be
represented on the reverse OF the
medal will be those which actually
took part in hostile operations by
sending troops or ships to the thea
ter of war.
"The following is a list Of such ma
lions, arranged in the order of their
entry into the war: Serbia, Russia,
France, Belgium, Great Britain, Mon
tenegro, Japan, Italy, Portugal Ru-
mania. Greece, United States, China,
and Brazil.
"A system Of clasps was adopted
for this medal and to designate the
possession Of battle clasp small
bronze star is worn on the service
ribbon. This is a new departure In
decorations. The British have used
clasps for more than a hundred
wears, but they have never indicated
them on the service ribbon. A man
may have dozen with his medal or
none-the service ribbon is the
same: SO this wearing OF small
bronze stars on our service ribbon to
denote the possession of battle clasps
is an innovation AS the medal itself
is seldom worn, while the service
ribbon is worn frequently 1t gives
more credit for service performed.
'Tn accordance with the general
principle that senior decorations are
to the right. silver citation stars
should be worn to the right OF
bronze stars on the service ribbon"
