American Steel Fence Post Made by American Steel and Wire Co. CHEAPER THAN WOOD AND MORE DURABLE GALVANIZED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE Cut down Farm Cost and Increase Farm Profits I_| AVE you ever stopped to consider the A I number of valuable farm animals killed each year by lightning? The value of the crops destroyed by weeds and nsects along the fence line, of the thousands of wood posts destroyed annually by fire and rot? The destruction and decay of wood posts costs the farmers of this country an enormous sum annually. Ninety-five per cent of this cost can be eliminated by use of American Steel Posts. Sell your wood post timber and put the money in steel posts; they protect your stock from lightning; they promise service of a life time: they do not burn; they have been in service for over sixteen years without having rusted: no staples required; fence lines can be burned each year, destroying weeds and vermin along the fence line. They are easily set and do not frost heave. M. Me Donald LANCASTER, WIS.

JUNE 10. U>l4 WALKS TRESTLE WITH CHILD Declares Little One is “Her Light” and That She Will Always Follow. Washington.—Mrs. Bessie M. Fonts, thirty-seven years old, residing at 1320 A street southeast, alarmed several persons who saw her walking on the railroad trestle at Delaware avenue and E street southwest with a three year-old child in her arms. Mrs. Fonts and her child reached South Capitol and O streets before they were overtaken by Policeman Showalter. She stated that the child was her light and that she would go where the little one suggested. “My light asked me to go on the tracks and I went,” she is said to have told the policeman, “and if asked to go in the river I’ll go there.” A charge of insanity was preferred against her. Her case was referred to Sanitary Officer Lynn and she was sent to Washington Asylum Hospital for observation as to her mental con dition. Thomas Quigley, twenty-three years old, giving his address as 622 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, last night made himself comfortable in J. B. Flick's automobile, in front of the owner’s plaq> of business, ati 1918 Pennsyl vania avenue northwest, and claimed ownership of the vehicle. “What are you doing in that ma chine?” the intruder was asked. “It's my automobile,” he replied, “and I guess 1 have a right to sit in it. “There’s my chauffeur,” he added, pointing to a colored man standing near by. Policemen Gaffney and Saunders took charge of Quigley. They charged that his mind was affected and sent him to Washington Asylum hospital. HAS LARGE FAMILY REUNION Members of North Carolina Clan AH Seem Blessed With Unusual Longevity. North Wilkesboro, N. C. —Mrs. J. D Moore returned recently from Hick ory, where she attended a reunion of the children of her grandmother, Mrs. A. C. Houck, who was on this birth day eighty-eight years of age. One remarkable fact is that Mrs. Houck is the mother of twelve children and that every one of them is living and went to the reunion, among wbom was the eldest child and an uncle of Mrs. Houck, at the age of seventy years, the youngest of the twelve being forty two years old. The other blessed thing is the fact that there are sixty-one grandchil dren, ninety-one great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Mrs. Houck lives one mile out in the coun try from the town of Hickory. She has a brother living who attend ed the reunion and is eighty-six years of age. Celebrates Her 116th Birthday. New York. —Hannah Koskoff cele brated her birthday at the Daughters of Israel home, 32 East One Hundred and Nineteenth street. She says she is one hundred and sixteen years old. She was born in Kovno, Russia, and came to this country 64 years ago. About 55 years ago Hannah thought she was about to die and had a shroud made. This garment still hangs at the head of her betl. Resemblances in Public Life. "Don’t you see a great resemblance between that statesman and George Washington?” “I suppose there is a resemblance,’* replied Farmer Corntossel. ‘Every man that doesn’t wear whiskers thinks he looks like George Washington, and every man that does think he looks like Abraham Lincoln.” »=3(Sr.;'S?pSSß!®® f J The “Smart Aleck” Is Seldom Popular By HOLLAND. HUMOR is always enjoy able. But it must be funny. The joke that hangs fire is a failure even under the most advantageous cir cumstances. When sprung with the wrong background it is worse than a failure—it is a tragedy. . Advertising is a serious matter. It costs money and is designed to make money. It is no place for jokes, no place for witticisms, no place for the “smart Aleck.” The jest that will “go” when de livered orally with a spar kling eye and a contagious smile will often fall flat when these accessories are lacking. Cold type is a se> vere trial for attempts at merriment. The wise advertiser will be chary of efforts at humor. The quip that causes a smile in the humor column would be likely to sound silly in an advertisement. And even if it provoked a guffaw it would not sell goods. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS* ADVERTISING IS BUSI NESS. COLONEL SEES PARIS ROOSEVELT SPENDS BUSY DAY IN FRENCH CAPITAL. Former President Is Greeted by Poin* care and Many Other Notables. Paris, June 8. —Colonel Roosevelt spent a strenuous day in Paris. Al though he had traveled during the greater part of the night and it was after five o’clock in the morning when he reached the Hotel de Crillon, he was up at 9:30 and seemed impatient to begin his sightseeing. From the hotel he drove directly to Brentano’s, in the Avenue de I’Opera, where he laid in a fresh supply of read ing matter. While aboard ship he had read all the books with which he had started from New York. Then he stopped at the Louvre and paid his re spects to “Mona Lisa.” From the Louvre the colonel was driven to Albert Kahn’s suburban home, where he passed a few minutes in admiration of the wonderful gar dens, after which he was whisked over the six miles to Malmaison. Noon found the former president back in the city for his luncheon with Gabriel Hanotaux, the academician; Myron T. Herrick, the ambassador, and Robert Woods Bliss, secretary of the embassy. The company included also Alexandre Felix Ribot, a former French premier; Gen. Henri J. Bru gere, who went to the United States on a mission for the French govern ment while Colonel Roosevelt was president; Henri Bauden, the histo rian; Louis Jaray, secretary of the French-Amerique committee; Gen. Charles Mangin, Emile Boutroux, the historian, who is a member of both the academy and the institute; Dr. Gus tave Le Bon, and the Comte d’Hasson ville, who is yet another academician. The party remained unbroken until after five o’clock, and the colonel made up for the taciturnity which had marked his voyage by conversing ani matedly with the educators and writers whom he met. On leaving M. Hanotaux he was driven to the ’Elysee palace, where he was received by President Poincare. This call was curtailed, as the presi dent is in the throes of finding a cabi net maker, M. Rene Viviani’s efforts to form a ministry having proved abor tive. Colonel Roosevelt was the guest of honor at an informal dinner which Mr. Herrick gave in the evening. CHAMPION RACER IS DEAD Loses Life on the Hawthorne Track With No One Look ing On. Chicago, June 8. —“Fearless” Charley Balke, one of the best-known motor cycle riders in the world, who has dared death thousands of times while multi tudes gasped with horror, met death on the Hawthorne track with not a single eye witness. He was not even killed in a race. He was trying out a new machine and, blinded by duet, rode into a steam roller at work on the track, crushed in his skull and died in an hour. Balke came here a few days ago from his home in Los Angeles, Cal., for the races Saturday and yesterday. He took part in Satur day’s events and expected to ride again yesterday. AIR BOAT SAVED BY VILAS Flyer in Another Hydroaeroplane Goes to Rescue of Victim of Accident. Chicago, June 8. —Jack Vilas gave a practical demonstration of the uses of the hydroaeroplane in life-saving work when Anthony Stetleman was wrecked nearly half a mile out from Wilson beach, fell into the lake and was in jured. Vilas dragged a second air boat from its hangar, sped out and alighted on the water and in a few minutes came flying back with the injured man. Two hundred rowboats had started to Stetleman’s aid, but the air boat dis tanced them all. Twenty thousand people along the lake shore saw the accident and cheered when Vilas flew back with the rescued man. HIT CARNEGIE BALKAN STORY Statement Given Out by Greek 'Lega tion in Washington Denies There Is Any Truth in Accounts. Washington, June 8. —An attack on the report of the Carnegie peace foun dation’s commission, which investi gated alleged atrocities in the Balkans, was issued at the Greek legation by Charge Vouros, as a preface to a re port soon to be circulated by the Greek government in this country to refute the charges of atrocities made against the Greek armies by the commission. The statement issued devotes much space to recounting atrocities alleged to have been committed by Bulgars. Houston Entertains the T. P. A.

More Light on the Silo Question This is in reply to the article Some Silo Facts written by John McMahon, in your issue of April 15th. Since reading the above article we have been making investigations of the various statements and will give the public the results of our investiga tions. Prof. White in charge of Agri cultural Engineering, Wis., says “so far as I can learn the Connecticut Experiment Station does not have a concrete silo on their farm:” The tests upon which the Storrs Experiment Station’s statements are based were made a number of years ago and have not since been cor roborated by any other Experiment Station. The fact is this bulletin does not furnish a single practical test to support their arguments against concrete silos. The Farm Mechanics division of the University of Illinois has tried to learn upon what actual investigation the Storrs Station based their prefer ence for the wood silo, and it was found that it has never investigated or used a concrete silo, therefore cannot speak with authority. On the other hand Agricultural Experiment Stations of a large number of states are using concrete silos with entire satisfaction; the Government Experi ment Farm at Beltsville, Md., has several in use at the present time. Regarding spoiled silage next the wall of concrete silos, we wish to give an analysis taken by Chas. A. Ocock, at that time in charge of Agricultural Engineering, University of Wisconsin. These samples are the average of a number of samples taken: (1) Sample taken from next to the wall. (2) Sample taken from center of silo. (1) (2) Moisture 72.46 74.30 Protein 1.74 1.69 Fat 87 .85 Fiber 6.62 5.94 Nitrogen(Free Extract)l6.9l 15.58 Ash 1.40 1.64 100% 100% Concerning a comparison of the heat and cold conductiveness of wood and concrete an investigation carried on by the Armstrong Cork Co. shows a non-conductiveness of 1 to 5 in favor of wood; considering the stave 2-inch and the concrete 6-inch would reduce this to Ito If in favor of wood; the non-conductiveness of tim ber is reduced 50 per cent by the presence of moisture. This would tend to equalize the two walls as a well built concrete silo is water tight. This comparison shows them about as they seem to compare in freezing weather as one can notice practically no difference in the depth the silage freezes. Bulletin No. 255, issued by the Michigan Agricultural College, on page 90, by a series of heat determi nations, shows that the heating in a concrete silo is as great as in one of wood. In regard to an alleged statement by Prof. Hoffman, regarding the cement in concrete silos neutralizing the acids of the silage and causing it to spoil. Prof. Hastings, who had charge of the department of which Mr. Hoffman was a member, says. “I am unable to give the authority for the results as stated by Mr. Hoffman.” Prof. J. B. Davidson, of the lowa Experiment Station, has to say re garding the effect of acids on con crete silos:— ‘‘ In regard to the concrete neutralizing the acidity of silage it may that for such a thing to take place there must be enough moisture present to permit the dis solved cement to diffuse itself throughout the acid solution; the amount of moisture present renders this action impossible. Concrete silos were found which had been filled eleven times without any noticeable action of the acidity of the silage in softening the wall, and these silos had not been white washed with cement. In conclusion will say we would be pleased to hear from Mr. McMahon in reply, as we believe this discus sion should be very educational to the farming public on the important subject of the silo.
