Beau tiful music was rendered by members of the St. Agnes choir. The pallbear- CTS were Joseph Robert, John Utz Louis Robert. J. A. Connell, Dr. T. M. Fletcher and John Clancey.

DO NOT ENTER SILO UNTIL
 BLOWER IS TURNED ON

 special to The Star.
 Turn the machine blower on and leave it on for at least two minutes before anyone is permitted to enter a partly filled silo. Unless this rule is followed, the result is likely to be dead men. says the United States De rartment of Agriculture.
 Annually fatalities occur among farmers and their helpers as a result of the workmen entering half-filled silos after the deadly carbon monox- idle gases have had chance to accu- mulate directly above the freshly en- siled corn. A few days ago two Illin- ois farmers were killed and another was rendered seriously sick by silo gases which are almost as dangerous as the poisonous mustard gases used during the recent war. In this in- stance, one of the farm workmen en- tered a 50-foot silo which had been half filled the previous day Some time elapsed when he did not come out, another of the hands ascended in- tc the silo. Neither reappeared.
 Fearing an accident, the farm own CT finally climbed into the silo. He also was immediately overcome by the poisonous fumes and only the fact that others followed him, forced open the extra silo doors and carried him into the open air saved his life. The two other men were suffocated immediate ly.
 Each year, a number of accidents of this kind occur, due largely to carelessness and ignorance of the proper methods of eradicating the dangerous gases. The preventive measures are simple and efficient and where they are followed, there is no danger.

\ Silver Lining to This Cloud.

Most folks would not be glad to have broken finger but T. K. Meri- deth, foreman of The Stars mechan- lcal department, is able to do the Pollyanna stunt over his injury. Mir. Meredith is a lover of aquatic sports and Sunday evening was one of a party that went out for quiet dip on Six-aiile below Hatfield. Without stopping to investigate the depth, T. k. dived off in likely pool and dis covered too late that it was decep- tive. The Star man struck bottom with such force as to break the third finger on his right hand, which injury undoubtedly saved him from a frac- tured skull. The accident ended the swimming and Mir. Merideth hurried to Hatfield, where he had the injury attended by Dr. Johnson.

SHOULD MENA TRY FOR IT?
Arkansas Now Has No Camp for Ma
 tional Guard.

Uncle Sam's decision to abandon Camp Pike and remove the buildings on the site, will leave the Arkansas National Guard without a suitable place for holding their annual en- campment. It has been suggested that in the vicinity of Mena there are number of good camp sites which could be offered the state mili- tary organization, and if accepted the location of the annual encampment here would be of great commercial benefit. Claude Williford is one who believes that Mena should endeavor to secure the national guard encamp- Imcnt and will seek to interest local residents in the plan to bring the state organization here.

SEES NO HUMOR
IN MUSSEL BILL
Manifold Declares Protection
Is Necessary.

While some persons have referred
facetiously to Senate Bill No. 135, intro
duced by Senator Miller, for protection
Of mussels or clans in HoOsier waters,
members of both houses, as well as citi-
zens who have given the subject study,
see merit in legislation to give the lOwly
clans a fair chance to inhabit our
streams, says George n. Manifold, su-
perintendent of the division Of fish and
game Of the State department OF con-
servation.
The mussel bill, which has passed the
Senate and is recommended for passage
in the House by Committee on Judiciary
A. provides for q closed season between
April 1 to July 1, during which it will
be unlawful to take mussels from waters
in Indiana.
The reason Of this closed season, Mr..
Manifold points out is the fact that
game fish are nesting during this part Of
the year and musseI digging dtsturbs
and tears up the spawning ground Of fish.
The closed season will be as advan-
tageous to the mussel industry as 1t will
be toward augmenting fish, since a sta &c
essary to mussels and the law would in
crease their number during the closed
period.
Conservation officials call attention to
the fact tina mussel digging is a lucra-
tive business and that this bill, appear
ing to some only in a humorous light, In
reality means the continuation of a big
industry in this State.
