Illinois stationary firemen object to the proposal to consolidate their labor organization with that of the station­ ary engineers. In their fight against the proposal they have secured the help of the Springfield Federation of Labor. James F. Morris, delegate of the Springfield federation to the na­ tional convention, which convenes next week at Washington, D. C., has been instructed to oppose any attempt that may be made at the national meeting to bring about the consoli­ dation. The support of the local federation was secured by Secretary Albert Den- man of the state firemen's union, who said that the representatives of the engineers' union will present a resolu­ tion at the national opnvention asking that tfie firemen's organization be made subsidiary to that of the en­ gineers. In presenting the resolution they will argue that the duties of en­ gineers and firemen are so closely re­ lated that the interests of both can be best served by placing them under one constitution and one set of officers. On the other hand, the firemen say the work of the engineers and of the firemen is of different character. More­ over, the two bodies of men work un­ der different scales. Consolidation, they say, would mean that the flm men's organization would be under the domination of the engineere. The support of the local federation was secured by Secretary Albert Den- man of the state firemen's union, who said that the representatives of the engineers' union will present a resolu­ tion at the national convention asking that the flremeB*B organization be made subsidiary to that of the en­ gineers.

JACK JOHNSON GOES TO JAIL Negro Pugilist, Handcuffed, Sent to -Prison After Detection of Bond Frameup. ^ Chicago, NOT. 11.--John Arthur Johnson, champion bruiser of the black and white races, went to cell 608 of the county jail on Friday night. He was a prisoner of the United States government held without bonds on or­ der of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Land- is. He was charged with transport­ ing a white girl across state lines for Immoral purposes. Johnson was led to the jail hand­ cuffed to Deputy United States Mar­ shal Northrup. On the sleeve of his coat was a wide black badge of crepe, worn In memory of Etta Duryea John­ son, his white wife, who committed suicide. Judge Landls, In whose court the prise fighter spent an eventful day listening to efforts made in his behalf by counsel to obtain his freedom, had refused to release the prisoner, al­ though Mrs. Tiny Johnson, his moth­ er, offered to schedule $50,000 in real- estate. Johnson himself, through his attorneys, stood ready to give a cash bond ef $15,000 in the form of a certi­ fied check. The judge decided to take this un­ alterable attitude as the result of a "frameup" which a band of profession­ al "straw" bondsmen attempted to im­ pose on the court TEN STATES HAVE WOMAN'S VOTE Suffrage won Tuesday In: Kansas, Ariiona, Oregon, Michigan. 8uffrage lost In: Wisconsin.

SILOS OF CONCRETE AND HOLLOW TILE DESI6NED FOR THE NEW ROUND BARNS mm:- illitl I* Concrete Silo (left) and More and more round barns are being built throughout the state. Farmers who have tried them have found them superior in cbnvenience and space saving to the conventional rectangular barn. Within the last few months two new silos for round barns have been built at the University of Illinois. A description of them will surely be of value to anyone contem­ plating the erection of a round barn. The first, a concrete silo, has a ca­ pacity of 300 tons. It is 16 feet is diameter and 58 feet in height. The walls are very heavy because the silo supports the floor of a 70-foot In dia­ meter round barn that is to be built around it. Therefore the first twelve feet of the silo is a foot thick, the next ten feet is eight inches thick and the remainder is six inches thick. Re­ inforcements in the wall consist of twisted steel rods, varying In sice from one-half to one and one-quarter inch­ es. These rods are put in horizontally six Inches apart, the ends being lapped sixteen inches and securely wired to. gether. The upright rods are one-half Inch in diameter and placed sixteen Inches apart, the horizontal rods being wired to these. The reinforcements at the doors consist of a twisted steel Hollow- rod eight feet long inclosed in a gal­ vanized iron pipe, where it passes across the door. These pipes are two feet apart and serve as a ladder, and also protect the inch rods from rust The concrete mixture consists or one part cement, two parts torpedo sand and three parts crushed lime stone. The door is continuous. Th< sections are made of two-by-eigh matched cypress sawed to fit th bevelled cement door jams. The second silo is called the Grou silo because A. P. Grout of Wlncheste originated the idea of using hollov tile. This silo is twelve feet in dii meter and has a capacity of. fifty torn It is made of hollow tile, which an filled with concrete and reinforce with one strand of No. 6 wire laid 1 an opening in the tile and embedde> in the oement. The foundation cot< sists of a solid slab of concrete four teen feet In diameter and fourteen Inches thick, with no reinforcement!) The door openings are twenty-four by thirty. The doors are made of on piece of heavy galvanized iron si inches larger in each direction tha the opening, and held in place b means of clamps. The doors are tw and one-half feet apart. -/t Another Investigation. - . ; "Daughter, I heard suBpiciotu sound* i \C'- $ on the veranda last evening.** .. ' t* "Yes, mother." " .

'"'M • -A '*-&h -f SOME POINTS IN CHOOSING COTTON BY CHARLOTTE M. QIBB8. Associate In Household Science, Uni­ versity of Illinois. In the past century a great change has come about in the position of the woman in the home, which has very vitally affected her relation to the textile industries. In the early days in this country nearly every woman produced the clothing for herself and family, also the household linens, from the raising of the sheep or flax to the finished product. Now all is changed; with the introduction of ready-made suits and other garments even the sewing is rapidly going from the home, while the manufacture of cloth is a forgotten art. In olden times the quality of home­ spun and woven material was the best possible to be obtained from the materials and methods known. Wool­ en cloth was all wool, and linen cloth was not adulterated with starch or half cotton. Honest and durable ma­ terials were the rule of the day. With the introduction of machinery and the factory system came keen competition. Modern discoveries, chemical and otherwise, have in­ creased the possibilities of cotton, lin­ en, silk, and wool, so that now it Is difficult to recognize the original fiber in some of the materials sold. As the cost of living increases, and demands upon the family purse in­ crease, it is more and more important that the woman of the household should know how to spend the family income most economically. Since from ten to twenty per cent, of this income is spent for clothing and h£>use furnishings, it is imperative that more thought and careful study should be put upon this branch of household economy. The object of this article is to give some bits of In­ formation about textile fibers, their manufacture and adulteration, which may help in gaining that judgment in buying essential to every woman. Each one of the common materials used for textile fabrics, cotton, linen, wool and silk, has its characteristics, Climate Affects Alfalfa. T. K. Blinn of the Colorado experi­ ment station divides all alfalfa plants into two classes on the baBis of root growth. All plants, seed for which came from warm climateB, have a pronounced taproot, with but a few, if any, side or lateral roots; all plants from northern or cooler climates have a dominant taproot, but carry pro­ nounced and important side or lateral roots. For this reason, if any acci­ dent occurs to this taproot, cutting or rooting it off. there remains enough strength in the lateral roots to enable the plant to re-establish itself. \ In case of the southern type, the plant dies. each its definite uses. Certain peculia itles in physical or chemical natui make each fiber peculiarly adapted ti certain uses, but so long as these get eral qualities are maintained the v; rtety of materials produced froa these fibers may be enormous. Combinations of fibers in one mu terial, adulteration with the cheape fibers or with starches or metalli salts may Serve to reduce the cosi and yet the purpose of the materia! may be fulfilled. For certain purpose; the materials may be used lntex changeably. Cotton, our special subject. Is cheat and very plentiful. It has short, fla fibers with a spiral twist, thus giving elasticity and the possibility of belni, spun Into fine thread. Being in itself very useful and inexpensive and caps ble of replacing to a certain extent any other fiber, it is used in very large quantities the world over, and li manufactured into a great variety o materials. The quality of these ma terials depends on the strength of tht> fibers, the fineness or coarseness, or material, the weave, the color and de­ sign and the adulterations. Cotton, being cheapest, is not adul­ terated with any of the other fiben mentioned, when the material is to be sold as cotton cloth, but It can bt made to appear heavier by the addl tion of mixtures called sizing. Starches, gums, dextrine, glue china clay, as well as other ingredi ents in varying proportions, consti tute this sizing, which may add a large percent to the weight of the cloth. The spaces between the threads are filled up and a good finish is given to the cloth, although the wearing qual lty is not increased Adulterations of this kind can be de tected by the feeling, a large quantity imparting a harshness to the mate rial. In very thin fabrics the sizint; may often be detected by holding the cloth up to the light, when the starcl: shows between the threads. Washing or thorough boiling of a sample wil show the amount of sizing present Another method of adulterating cot ton Is shown in certain kinds of dot ted swiss, in which the dots are mere ly a heavy paste, printed onto the cloth. - !

I was sorry ttf hear these people condemn the bushel box for shipping apples. I do not believe this posi­ tion was correct for all times and places, because the fancy fruit for a special market has surely brought much higher prices In boxes, says a writer in an exchange. In the first place, the fruit, if shipped in quantl- I ties, gets badly jammed, and again * > a aa aa aa many buyers would take a box and say enough where otherwise we should sell a barrel. The opinion prevailed if the box had any value in their market it would be for the retailer, who could repack for a spe­ cial small trade, but here came the expense of two packages which the final buyer must stand.
