prosperity, American farmers

whatever prosperity, American farmers
are enjoying.
Corn this year is too valuable to be-
wasted. On the average farm much of
this grain does go to waste through
inadequate housing space. Cribs that
give the corn little protection from
weather ann rats are used to house
the corn much Of it is spoiled or eaten
and the quality Of the balance suffers.
Successful corn growers look upon
tight, well-ventilated corn crib as be.
ing as necessary to the farm building
group as the barn. or hog house or
any Of the buildings used to house
live stock. The corn in such a crib
seasons well; it does not mold.
neither do the rats have access to it.
The United. States Department of
Agriculture is the authority for the
statement that 1t costs 50 year to
feed a rat, and that rats do, many
millions Of dollars worth of damage
to the corn crop each year.
Compared with the value Of the
corn crop that is grown on most farms
in the corn belt states. the cost Of
modern crib is small. The building Is
of frame, set on concrete foundation
and when its cost Is spread over the

Exerciser for Eyes.

A New York optometrist has invent
ed a machine for exercising the mus.
cles of the eye. His theory Is that the
human eyeball is pulled out Of shape
by the tugging of strong muscles
against weaker ones, thus interfering
with the focusing Of light rays and
causing nearsight, farsight and astig-
matism. Therefore he considers that
these defects can be cured and that
normal eyes can be kept in good con-
dition by regular exercises that bring
all the muscles Of the eye into play.
The exerciser consists Of ball on the
end of bent rod which is revolved
by means of small crank. The eyes
are exercised by following the motions
of the ball. For near sight the ball
first is moved horizontally before the
eyes, bringing into play the muscles
that move each eye toward or away
from the nose. Then the ball is moved
perpendicularly. This exercises the
muscles that move the eye up or down.
For far sight the oblique muscles are
brought into play by operating the
ball in circles both left and right. AS
tigmatism is corrected by either one or
the other of the> foregoing methods. or
combination of the two.

-
As will be seen by the floor plan
that accompanies the exterior view,
the building has a 10-foot driveway
through the center with cribs on
either side. In the center on the right
side is space for the power elevator.
A pit in the floor opposite the elevator
houses the endless belt conveyor that
takes the corn to the swiyeled spout
in the cupola. This spout may be
turned so that the corn will be car
ried to any one of the Ave cribs
shown on the plan. The cribs are each
8 feet wide and extend to the roof
Of the building.
Over the driveway are the grain
bins. which are formed by the tight
floor. tight outside walls and tight
walls on the sides facing the crib.
These bins, also may be filled by the
elevator that is used to carry the corn.
The side walls of the cribs are so
constructed that there Is free circu-
latiOn of air through the corn. At the
same time the slope Of the boards
keeps out the weather. The concrete
floor and cOnoi etc foundation walls
keep out the rats.
Besides being a fine addition to the
farm building group and safe place
In which to store corn and grain, such
a building as this saves labor on farms
where hogs are a principal crop. BY
locating the crib alongside a feeding
lot and extending the floor so as to
provide concrete feeding platform,
1t Is an easy matter to feed the swine
their corn rations. The corn Is thrown
to the floor of the building and then

years that 1t will last, the annual
insurance against damage by weather
and other corn enemies is small.
Then. too, there is the saving in
labor in handling and storing the crop
in modern crib that must be placed
on the credit side of the building.
Equipped with a power elevator, the
work of getting the ear corn into the
cribs is small.
The standard type Of modern corn
crib and granary is shown in the ac-
companying illustration. This build
ing is 26 feet wide and 80 feet long
1t is set on a concrete foundation
raised slightly above the ground level
and has a concrete floor. The super
structure is of frame. The sides Of the
cribs are of open crib siding and the
space for the grain bins over the drive
way is closed by matched siding.

onto the feeding floor Many farmers
use. the floor of the building itself for
this purpose, by barring the front en-.
trance and allowing the hogs access to
the building.
1t soon will be time to harvest and
store the corn crop. Farmers, whose
farms are not equipped with a safe,
weather-tight storage house. will find
such building profitable invest
ment. both this year and in the years
to come.

What the "Prof" Thought Of Him.

What the "Prof" Thought Of Him.
A professor noted among his stu.
dents for his caustic wit had in one
of his classes one year a young man
who was both ignorant and conceited.
One morning he made a specially self
satisfied display of both these char
acteristics, and the professor said he
would like to see him at the end, of the
hour.
When he came up after the lecture.
the professor asked: "You are Mr..
Junkins?"
Eyes. SIR"
"Have you a visiting cardS"
T-L-yes. SIR" stammered the
puzzled student.
"Then, Mr.. Junkins," the professor
said drily, "write down on your visit

it to me morrow."-Exchange

Hikes are among the popular forms of recreation and on Friday, July 16, the first overnight hiking trip was taken by the boys. Thirteen boys and two counsellors left Millstones about o'clock loaded with blankets and carrying provisions for two meals They hiked almost to Burlington cen- ter and then went along the Bristol road. Leaving Bristol road they fol- lowed an old country road to Johnny cake mountain. At the top of the mountain the packs were taken off Some boys were detailed to go for milk which was obtained from a farm about a mile from the camping place on top of the mountain. Other boys gathered wood and built a fire on which the supper was cooked and four or, i've other boys picked berries for dessert at supper After supper there was a short campfire with story tell ing, singing, etc., and then 15 people fixed their beds and got ready for nights sleep under the stars. In the morning breakfast was cooked on the open fire. Part of the breakfast was bacon, each boy cooking his share at the end of a stick About the middle of the forenoon the return hike was started and the camping party arrived back at Millstones just in time for din- rer. ..., ~.
 Those who made the trip besides the camp director were, MT. Sloat. Joseph Tzaro, Elmer Johnson, Stanley Turek, Merwin Hahn, Henry Hahn. Karnick Torosian, Tony Kerelezia, John Golob, John Kolocienski, Walter Killian, Morgan Peterson and Henry Elipsky and Edward Lipsky.

PRESENT NOVEL CASE

Vienna, July 81.-Austrian govern. ment employees, fighting to gain pay ment for their labors sufficient tc maintain their families, have pre- sented their case in a novel way. In- stead of relating that in the old days they could buy for five crowns what now costs them 5O,0oo, they have used minutes of labor as measuring unit, and produced an interesting table.
 Tn 1914 loaf of bread cost 12 1-2 minutes flabor; today the cost is 49 minutes. A measure of sugar that cost 26 minutes nine years ago, now calls for 102 minutes. Coal has risen from 1 hour and IS minutes to 12 hours and 36 mnutes, and pair of shoes from hours and IS minutes to 19 hours and 80 minutes.

man Fleet Scuttled at Scapa Flow
 in June, 1919. .#..s.
 London, July 31.-The German fleet scuttled at Scapa Flow in June, 1919. Is to be raised, cut up. and sold for junk. The admiralty has signed a contract with private company which has purchased part of the sunk en ships, and will start operations at once to raise them.
 The company is said already to have found a market for the hulks. If the operations are successful, contract will be signed for the remaining sec- ton, which includes the largest of the ships.
 The vessels sunk comprise ten bat tleships, five battle cruisers and 29 destroyers. their total tonnage being about 416,000. The contract already agreed to covers 20 destroyers and one of the battle cruisers.
 The vessels were sunk by their crews opening all the sea-cocks and flooding the ships. This will, however, make the work of the salvers much easier, as it is planned to shut the cocks and pump the water out of the holds.

LIONS AND TIGERS

Wild Animals Vie With Beautiful Ladies for Attention of Main St.

The grand free street parade, an
 ticipated by youngsters and covertl,
 enjoyed by adults, in connection with
 the Sells-F Floto circus and Buffalo
 Bilrs Wild West. which is showing to-
 day on Vibberts lot, took place nearly
 upon schedule today and proved to be all that was expected from a specta- tors standpoint. The leader Of the affair, the traditional clown police of- ficer mounted on a mule, reached the center after II o'clock but the crowd that was on hand to watch did not begrudge the extra time spent and the fakirs who piled their wares on the streets sold many an extra balloon because of the delay. From the clown on a mule to the steam piano, which has to bring up the rear-al- ways in a circus parade-there was a goodly accumulation of healthy and happy looking horses, many be-auti- full ladies, much tinsel and scarlet vel vet and three bands not counting the and the lions and tigers and elephants and everything were there and some bears with great big white one the best of the lot and those covered wagons that you can't see in so you'll want to go to the show and see what it's all about and lot of other stuff. It took a long time to go by, but it didn't seem long. If you don't believe that ask Johnny or Willy of whoever 1t is in your house that the whole family Is planning to take to the show what he thought of 1t.
 With a performance tonight the show will conclude its visit to New Britain this year. The afternoon af- fair was well crowded despite the threat of rain in the air. The evening performance opens at s:15.

They were accom- panied by two counsellors, Davis and Sloat.
 A week ago last Friday medals were awarded to boys who were con- sidered the best campers during the preceding two weeks. MT. Wilson reports the event in his own words as follows:
 We had the pleasure of awarding three medals to the boys who we con- sidered the best campers during the last two weeks. The best camper was awarded gold medal, the next best camper a silver medal and the third best camper a bronze medal. In choosing the best camper four things are considered:
 First consideration is given to progress in swimming. Of course the best swimmer Is not necessarily the winner, 1t is the one who makes the most improvement during the two weeks.
 Secondly we consider how much progress each boy has made in his scout work.
 Thirdly we consider his sportsman ship. In all of our games we en- phasize good sportsmanship rather than the winning of the game.
 The fourth thing considered in picking out the best campers is the amount of care given to health. We ask the following questions: Has he eaten well7' Has he been prompt In getting on line to brush his teeth after each meal?' Does he get his rest regularly before dinner. before supper and after dinnerY
 ''The boys who were picked by the camp director and the counsellors as being the best campers during the last two wkeks are Sven Berquist, karnick Torosian, and Herman Zieg- Ter. Sven Berquist was given the gold medal for being the best camper because of his fine progress in swim- ming and in scout work. He dis played good sportsmanship in all the games he played and looked after his health carefully at all times. Kar- nick Torosian, who was awarded the silver medal made more progress in scout work during the last two weeks than any other boy at camp. He finished both his tenderfoot and second class scout tests and started 1is first class test. During the two weeks he also learned how to swim we'll enough to pass his beginners est. Herman Ziegler, who was awarded the bronze medal made ex- ,ellent progress in swimming and | living. He also made good progress n scout work and in playing baseball. There are now six boys with medals, he three mentioned above and three ,oys who were awarded medals at the md of the first two weeks of camp. joseph Balciumas, John Azaro and 5eorge Kosswig.
