Sudden Deaths in a Silo. A recent fatal accident in Ohio calls attention to a danger to farmers which can not be too widely circulated. Since 1875, when the first American silo was built by Dr. Man-ley Miles, this method of preserving forage for livestock has been generally adpoted. Although the Department of Agriculture has frequently' called attention to the danger of carbon dioxide gas accumulating in silos under certain condi tions, no fatalities have been re ported heretofore.

On the morning of September 19 four workmen on the farm of the Athens (Ohio) state hospital ascended the ladder on the outside of a silo to an open door about twelve feet from-thej-top, and jumped down one after another onto' the silage, the top of which was about six feet below the'door. About "five minutes two other work men rouowmg them round them unconscious. Although -a large force of workmen were immediately sum moned and the bodies of the four men removed at once through a lower door, the physicians of the hospital who were at once -on the ground were unable to resuscitate any of the four men. Evidently the carbon dioxide gas had during the night, filling- the silo up to the level of the door and forming a layer -of carbon dioxide gas -six feet deep. Such accidents, says The Journal of the American Medical As sociation, might easily be repeated on any modern farm.

Agricultural journals should call the attention of the" farmers to this danger and should urge that silos be carefully ventilated before being entered. The Machine Gun Co. at Iola, 3rd Kansas commanded by Capt. Wm. E.

FOR NAUTICAL SCOUT The Nautical Scouts, the four-year-old water branch of the Boy Scouts of America, has as its object the training of boys to be skillful watermen, as much at home on the river lake and ocean a8on the land, To teach them how to swim, how to rescue and -resuscitate' the drowning, row and sail a boat, run and manage a power boat; local piloting, casting and lead, steering; how to keep themselves and the craft neat and clean, how to be prompt and cheerful, obedient, alert, active and resourceful these are all included. The use of the mariner's compass, the-use of the leads in -sounding, all the parts and Identification marks of all kinds of vessels, the keeping of a log book, the serving on the watches, even the methods of living aboard ship are learned by Nautical "Scouts, for the training Is a thorough one.

There are troops near Boston, Philadelphia, In Oregon, Florida and on the Gulf that get a taste of the real sea life. Nautical scouting as practiced near Pittsburgh, and In the New England states and along the Great Lakes makes use of lakes and rivers. It is ST? mf 4 nisi iTlitfel. "IN OILSKINS AND SOU'WESTER." This Natural Scout Is Making Fast the Ship In, Heavy Weather. really water scouting; "watercraft" as contrasted with woodqgaft; boat lore instead of -field lore.

In "other words, this increasingly popular branch of "scouting can be, and should be; taken up there Is enough water to float a boat and enough boys to man It. In carrying out the program the Nautical Scouts visit other ships in the vicinity and there become familiar with the nomenclature, as well as the whole run of the vessel. Naval history Is Included In the program of work, and as opportunity affords, Scouth leaders take the boys on cruises, stopping at other ports and visiting such institution as marine museums, navy yards and famous ships. Daniel Beard, national Scout com- i missioner, has pointed out that the Nautical Scouts can perform very use ful service in looking for -wrecks or vessels in distress, noting what vessels pass and what descriptions of vessels they are, whether the vessels in the offing are freighters or passenger boats, steamers, gasoline launches, cat boats, sloops, schooners, brigs, brigantin'es, barks, barkentines or full-rigged ships. The day will come when Nautical Scouts will be in demand to manage, command or own vessels of the merchant marine.

MADE SCOUTS AT MIDNIGHT. Scoutmaster Beresford at Water-ford, says that parents In this vicinity seem to be getting anxious to have their boys enlist in the Boy Scouts. "One Sunday night the door bell rang at 11 o'clock," he says. My wife and I were fast asleep, and we woke tip wondering what was wanted at that time of the night. There at the door stood a man and woman with two boys They had brought; their boys four miles from out In the country to enroll them as Boy Scouts.

They wanted their boys to do their bit for their country. Of course, you can imagine my surprise, but I enrolled those boys right there clothed In my AMONG THE SCOUTS. Every member of Troop 6, San Miguel, Jack Lash, scoutmaster, has a garden and is growing enough to feed a soldier, with something left over. These Scouts began planting In February and had begun to count their harvest when a heavy frost about the first of May unset their calculations. Nevertheless they are making good.

Each Scout has from one-eighth te a full acre of ground under cultivaton. It required self -sacrifice for Troop 4 of Far Kockaway, N. to give $60, which it had raised for the purchase of a wireless outfit, for the use -of families made heedxJby the war. Nevertheless, the motion received the unanimous support of -the troop. The Boy Scout Is no Idler, he is no' shirker, no drone In camp life, afield and in the deep woods and on the rolling plains the Boy Scout is able, to take care of himself.

He Is a student of nature, a philosopher who reads the destinies of men In the -monarchy of the forest and the smooth-rxmnlns brpofc. Dental Offices Reopened. Dr. Harry E.

Summer Complaint. During the hot weather of. the summer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and itls of the greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F.

F. Scott, Scottsville, N. states, "I first used Chamber lain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a severe attack of summer-complaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose relieved me.

Other members of my family have since used it with like results." Resolutions of Condolence. Whereas; Our Worthy Divine Master has seen fit to call Home Brother Seth D. Bartlett, a pioneer in Allen County and in the Grange work, and it is our desire in some permanent form to testify our grateful appreciation of his life and work among us, and our sorrow and keen felt loss at his departure; Now therefore be it Resolved, that we, the members of Star Valley Grange No. 1661, deem it just and proper, that we pause in our labors to make this record of our affectionate respect for our Worthy Brother who has completed his labors of life's day. It was largely through his influence and faithfulness that our local Grange and the Allen County Pqmona Grange were organized and have kept at work; as a patron he was ever faithful to his duties, alert to the interests of the Grange and keenly alive to all which might affect its highest welfare; as Worthy Master he presided over its deliberations with dignity and administered its affairs with wisdom; as Past Master he was still faithful to the work, far "beyond what his health would permit solicitous for thV good of the order, ready with counsel and an inspiration to every member; as our delegate-at-large to the State Grange, and in other positions of public importance he performed his labors in such a manner as to command alike our gratitude and our pride.

As a man of business he held the respect and confidence of all who knew him, and his conspicuous executive ability caused him to be widely sought as a leader and a counsellor in enterprises at the utmost moment. As a citizen he was public-spirited, an earnest advocate of co-operation and progressive reforms, a sympathizer with every good work, a faithful husband and devoted father, he filled to com- pletion the definition of a good And now he has gone from us In the midst of his usefulness and in the full strength of his manhood. He rests from his labors but his works shall follow him and his memory shall long be with us. And today as our hearts beat in sympathy for his bereaved family, we commend them for consolation to Him who doeth all things well and who gives to the withered rosebush the assurance of another springtime. Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of the Grange, that a copy be sent to the family of our Worthy Brother, and that a copy be sent to the Iola Daily Register and to the Humboldt Union for publication.
