LIGHTNING RODS.

Three persons were killed and two
stunned by lightning, on May %, in
the neighborhood of Madison, and
much property destroyed.
Lightning annually kills more peo-
pie than the railways, and causes a
property loss of over eight million
dollars, in this country.
In 1920 Wisconsin had 232 Iightn-
ing fires, in unprotected buildings,
with a property loss of $958, 925.00,
and IA such fires in poorly rodded
buildings, entailing a loss of $64, 1856.
This is the largest number Of So
called rodded buildings ever reported
as struck by lightning. Our investi-
CATION of these cases showed de-
fects in materials used, or in install
lation, or both.
The more common defects were
lack of grounding to permanent
moisture, insufficient number of
points, lack of points at chimneys,
cupolas, ventilators, spires, gables,
dormers and other elevations, using
too light materials, joints and con-
nections not mechanically and cleo
trically firm and secure, failure to
connect down spouts, carrier, door
tracks and other exterior metal parts
with the rodding system, running
metal clothes lines from trees to
buildings 1.-TWO cases), building silos
and other additions without extend
ing the rodding system, rusting, cor
roding and breaking of conductors,
only one ground rod.
Many of these defects are due to
faulty sales methods. Some manu-
facturers of rods sell the material to
hardware and implement dealers and
garage men indiscriminately, without
check or inspection. TinsmithS,
plumbers and garage helpers will
then go out to sell the rods in strong
competition with other statesmen, and
will install them. If the bid happens
to be too low to make good profit, he
will even up by using light and in
ferior materials, and save on points,
connections, grounding, etc.
Careful inspection by a competent
man alone will reveal the defects in
existing installations. Where manu-
facturers do not give this inspection
service, it would pay farm mutual
insurance companies and their policy
holders to hire their own inspector.
This is now being done by some
companies. One secretary of such
a company sends us list of Is con-
secutive fires in farm buildings, Is
of which were caused by lightning.
This is the farmers worst enemy.
If the system is OF good material,
properly installed, we'll grounded,
and kept in repair, it is almost GER
tain protection, and an inexpensive
guarantee of safety to life and pro-
perty.
In a former bulletin we gave some
specific directions as to suitable ma
terials and proper installation.

caused great excitement among the
people in the church and mad rush
was made for the doors, those who
couldn't get out through the doors
Jumped out through the windows,
women threw their babies out of the
windows for some one to catch, they
following the source of exit, while
men were yelling and women scream
ing, George Kinney, who was present
attempted in every way possible to
quiet the mad rushing people, but in
vain. He had helped to build the gal
lery and told the people that they
couldn't get people enough in that
gallery to make it fall. John Vance
then prominent man in Potosi was
in the act of jumping over the gallery
railing down among the rushing
mass of humanity, when Mr.. Kinney
caught him and hurled him back.
After the excitement had subsidized,
the Bishop concluded the confrma-
ton services. Strange to relate, no
one was seriously hurt in the STAN
pede. In 1853 Mr.. Kinney and Julius
Augustine entered into partnership
and built a steam saw mill down near
Grant river in Lafayette. This part
nership existed until 1860 when Mr..
Augustine disposed of his interest in
the business to Simon E. Lewis. The
firm then became known as Kinney
and Co. Kinney and Lewis did bust
ness together for a number of years
or until the death Of Mr.. Lewis in
1874, Mr.. Kinney then became sole
owner, but did not operate the mill
to any great extent, but confined
himself to the lumber trade only.
Mr.. Kinney was a republican in poll
tics and was very prominent in the
county councils of the party. He was
offered his choice of a county office,
but always declined holding any Of
flee. He removed from Potosi some
years ago and joined his son DR..
George Kinney in Burlington, Iowa,
and after many years of honorable
and useful life he passed away few
years ago, and his remains were in
TERED in the Van Buren, cemetery in
Potosi.

ARMY HAS NEW MACHINE GUN THAT |
 WILL PIERCE STEEL AT 200 YARDS
Govt. Also Has Sufficient Ammunition to Supply
 Forces in Case of War
 Until Production Starts.

Rock Island, Ill.,, May 27.--The U. $. Army has developed a 50 Calibre machine gun capable of firing bullet which at 200 yards will penetrate the one inch armor plate of battle tanks, Major Lee o. Wright. army ordnance department. announced today at the annual convention of the ordnance section of the American Society of Me chanical Engineers.
 The new weapon is an outgrowth of the war, he said, when fighting tanks were armorcd to resist the 30 calibre bullet then in use.
 The 50 calibre machine gun fires a bullet weighing 500 grains, as com- pared to the 150 grains of the stand ard 30 calibre ammunition.
 The gun is modelled along the plan of the Browning machine gun.
 The limited States has on hand a re- serve stock of munitions, as a result of the world war sufficient to sup ply the army in case of war until pro- duction could he resumed and brought to full capacity, Col. c. l.. HI. Ruggles, ordnance department, U. z. A., told the engineers.
 Experience in the world war showed, he said, that men could be mobilized and trained faster than munitions could be produced and that it took practically 20 months for the ordnance department to catch up with the army in the field.
 The present problem, he said, is to replace explosives as they deteriorate and other material as it becomes ob- solete.

RELIEF FUNDS BEING
 DIVERTED, IS CHARGE
Congress Asked to Investi- gate Work of Soldier
 Relief Organizations.

Washington. May 27.-Advisability Of congressional investigation of the collection and expenditure of funds by soldier relief organizations was considered today by the house rules committee, Representative Johnson, republican. South Dakota. a former service man. urging his resolution to that end. It states that "charges are made and there is reason to believe that much of the money collected to influence legislation IS collected sur reptitiously'' and that large sums of money purported to be collected for relief of disa bled ex-service men are being diverted from their original and lawful purpose" '.
 Some of the men collected funds, MT. Johnson charges in his resolu- ton, have been previously convicted for collecting funds for such pur- poses and have served sentences. He specified particularly in his measure the national disabled soldiers league, the John Curtis Publishing O., the national service bureau and the pub licity underwriting corporation, all with headquarters in New York city.
 George H. Gillin, commander of the national disa blcd soldiers league. tes- tified his organization could account for every cent it had collected and spent No money was used improper ly, he declared, adding that he had helped 33,000 war veterans settle claims against the government.
 His orga never attempted to swing it's influence politically during the campaign last fall, MT. Gillin said in reply to a statement by Represen- tative Johnson that several men con nected with republican campaign Headquarters had informed him that Gillin had approached them with an offer ito deliver votes of war vet erans.

WIRTH SCORES POLESs
Says Their Actions Have Forfeited
 Moral Rights to Silesia Land.

Freiburg, Baden, May 27,-Chan- cellor Joseph Wirth declared here yesterday that the Poles had through their recent instruction forfeited their moral right to the plebiscite area of Upper Silesia." He disputed a recent assertion by Premier Briand of France that Silesia had been vio lently annexed by the Germans six centuries ago.
 ''The Poles have no historic claim to Upper Silesia," the chancellor de- clared. "nor can the German plebis- cite majority of almost 225 1000 be dis regarded. Economically the Polish claim to the region is without foun- dation, for industrial Upper Silesia is the creation of German skill and en- terprise."
