The elevator, which consisted OF
steel and concrete towers, was 10.
Gated in the southern outskirts of the
city on the bank of the Calumet
river. 1t was built at a cost OF more
than $10,000,0O0 and was operated by
the Armour Grain company.
Caused by Fire.
The explosion was due, it was said
by officials. to fire that started in
a chute. The blaze set fire to the
dust-filled air and the resulting blast
rent asunder the big tower, releasing
thousands of bushels of grain.
So great was the force of the ex
plosion that 1t hurled great concrete
blocks hundreds of feet and derailed

vator are thought to have been
trapped by the flood of blazing grain
Heavy damage was caused in near.
by towns by the explosion Win
dows were shattered in Hammond
Whiting and East Chicago. The
property loss at Whiting, according
to merchants, will reach 500, 900.
Normally about 100000 bushels
of grain are stored in the elevator
but at the time of the blast there
were only about 100000 bushels This
was destroyed by the fire.
The explosion occurred just after
$50 employees had quit for the day
According to one eyewitness there
were three separate explosions, the
last being the most severe. The ex
plosions tore the top off the elevator
Early estimates put the elevator
loss at $6,00O,OOO.
A portion Of the wrecked building
fell into the Calumet river, dammine
it until it flooded a number of small
cottages on the opposite bank.
The isolation OF the large elevator
prevented greater destruction of life
and property. The force Of the ex
plosion seemed to pass over the cot
tages nearby, taking effect on more
distant. buildings. largely at the ex
pense of windows
Wrecking for Blocks.
1t was some time after the detona
ton before firemen could reach the
scene. The wreckage, lying fol
blocks around without having hur
any one in the sparsely settled
neighborhood, told tale of terrible
force, but pillows of smoke from the

"Our churches and higher educa-

the Chinese well from contracts with
them for more than century, but
the man in the street is not so well

full, they are industrious, sober and
economical.
The Chinese are especially friend
ly to Americans, who in turn, admire
their loyalty, their philosophy and
their sense of humor, their learning,
and their love Of art. Their ances-
tor worship is just another method
of saying "Honor thy father and thy

Soybean Crop Good
for Kentucky Farmer

Because IL is well adapted to Ken
lucky and yields a profitable re-
turn the soybean should become a
staple crop in this State, accord
ing to specialists in the Soils and
Crops Department Of the College Of
Agriculture. Il grows well on almost
all types Of Kentucky soil, while
beans have always sold from two to
three times as much per bushel as
wheat. if.i.tIA,t,
On the Experiment Station farm
at Lexington, as an average Of nine
years, the crop has yielded 20 bush
els per acre in rotation Of corn,
soybeans, wheat and clover, the
corn yielding Sc bushels, wheat 27
bushels and clover hay $500 pounds.
Twenty bushels Of beans have with
them about $500 pounds Of straw,
besides the leaves that fall before
harvest. These, together, are equal to
about four tons Of manure for soil
Improvement, the specialists state.
Beans that make 20 bushels per acre
will yield at least two tons Of hay
having about the same feeding value
as clover hay.
One objection to the rotation as
named above is that the farmer does
not usually wish to plant as many
acres Of beans as Of corn. This
may be avoided by using last years
cornfield for a variety of crops,
planting soybeans on part Of it, oats
little early corn, some tobacco and
such other small lots as may be de-
sired and then putting the whole field
to wheat. Wheat has yielded an av-
erage of six bushels more per acre,
after wheat than after corn on the
Experiment Station farm.
