The committee appointed by
Fort Hamilton Lodge, Loyal Order
of Moose to arrange for the big

To say that it will be a good one is
putting it midly. They are going
after big things, iudging from what
they have already done. At their
last meeting they contracted with
the Howard Aviation Company of
Chicago, for the appearance here
of Walter Bullock, known as the
World's Greatest and Most Daring

flights and no doubt will prove a
wonderful attraction as people in

strips are then passed through a ma
chine. which cuts them into proper size
for the presses, the strips first having
been treated with a kind of tallow to
prevent their being scratched in their
passuge through the cutters.
The silver pieces are then put Into
the feeder of the printing presses and
are fed to the die by automatic ma
chinery at the rate of 100 per minute,
48.000 dimes being turned out in a
regular working day of eight hours.
As the smooth pieces are pressed be
tween the ponderous printing dies they
receive the lettered and figured im

of a paper pressed upon a form of
type. At the same time the piece is
expanded In a slight degree, and the
small corrugations are cut Into Its rim.

running across Its surface at a dis
tance apart the exact width of a dime.
From the receiver the money Is
dumped on the board or tray, and as
It Is shaken rapidly by the counter
the pieces settle down Into the spaces
between the ridges. All these spaces
being filled, the surplus coin Is brush

counter has exactly 1,250 silver dimes,

required to fill the spaces. Tho tray

THE GLORY OF CORN.
Our Crop the Biggest and Best of Any
Kind Qrown In Any Land.
"No nation can starve," writes our
secretary of agriculture, "which raises
ln a year 8.000,000,000 bushels of
corn."
Not only not starve, but it can live
without wheat live well and grow
fat. Who says eating corn Is a hard
ship?
Corn comes to your table ln twenty
different uniforms and every one erf
them a perfect fit.
American corn is the biggest and
best crop of any kind grown in any
country of the world.
Search the earth around and you will
find no other product of the field so
beautiful as corn ln midsummer,

soldiers, with green 1'sinners stream
