SKYSCRAPERS SII1K INTO THE EARTH

Many of Chicago's Big Buildings Have Gradually Settled. FOUNDATIONS ARE FAULTY. PILING USED WHICH DOES NOT TOUCH ROCK, SINKS IMMENSE BUILDINGS WEIGH MILLIONS OF TONS. Chicago, Nov. 14. Considerable, sinking has marked the phenomenal rise of Chicago, the building of skyscrapers having compressed the earth and drained it of water, wmcn depressed It some mora. Official notice had to be taken of this in the height of street car tracks now being laid in the loop district in the rehabilitation of traction lines, the buildings having carried the sidewalks down several inches and some day they will have to be raised to official grade. - , The big buildings constructed a decade ago were put on what is known as floating foundations that Is, piling driven into the ground at various depths, but not nearly so far as the bed rock. These buildings have settled steadily, and it is believed that they will continue to do so for some time, nl the second place the ground beneath Chicago is being robbed steadily of the water it ordinarily would contain. Every building with deep basements in its excavation draws a part of the water from the ground. Where the new type of concrete legs extending sometimes 120 feet into the earth is adopted, every well driven into the earth draws a large port of the moisture from the soil. When water is removed from the soil with nothing given to take its place, and witha tremendous pressure on the upper surface, a compression results. The weight of all the skyscrapers' in the downtown districts can be realized from the fact that the Commercial National building, the "Trust alace," 10 stories, contains 750,000 tons of steel and the stone and terra cotta 'walls and floors add approximately 2.000,000 tons more. There are a half dozen such structures. This building covers 22,500 square feet, which bear this enormous weight, although in its case 90 caissons 110 feet deep to solid i - mm . 1 mm J . ! tk. ruiK tuiuru a. iiiuiei luuuuaiiuu iimu the now demolished city hall- had in the piling under 1L TWO TOPICS OF PRESENT IMPORTANCE Two of the most important topics of present conversation are, who will be our next president, and Root Juice, but Root Juice seems to have the advantage, and why not? Personal health is and should be one of the greatest considerations of life, and as so many local people are praising the new remedy, Root Jnice, it is not surprising that so many of th afflicted people of this county are so eager to talk about it and get all of the information they can in relation to the many remarkable cures it has made and is making. It invariably proves a great and agreeable surprise to weak, nervous, dyspeptic, constipated people, for after using It for a short while the soothing, healing and tonic properties of the wonderful remedy removes irritated and sore conditions from the linings of the stomach, bowels . and bladder, heals and strengthens the liver and kidneys to healthy action, resulting in a good appetite, food well digested, bowels regular, good, rich blood, free from rheumatic poison and it soon nourishes and strengthens the whole nervous system. The people at the drug store are proud of the wonderful merits of Root Juice; and gladly tell all interested of much of the great good ft is doing here. A. G. Luken & Co's Hi us oiurc. COMPOSED ODE.

JILTED MAN KEEPS SILENCEJOW 30 YEARS Benjamin Landis Quits Talk

ing After "Getting Mitten. Middletown, Pa., Nov;' 14. For thirty years Benjamin Landis, who lives with his mother m a modest little home two miles - outside of this town, has not conversed with friends or relatives because, it is said, he was jilted by a girl whom he loved devotedly when a youth. More than thirty years ago "Ben" Landis wooed Miss Fanny Gingerich, who was then the belle of the countryside, and who married Harry Snavely. Landis was about eighteen years old. Apparently jilted, he tried to forget that there ever had lived such a girl as Fanny Gingerich, and he went West, hoping his affection might be lost in a mining camp or on a prairie ranch. For several years he lived near Kansas City, but finally he came East and returned to his mother near Middletown. Love's flame had not died out, but he was a far different "Ben." Landis than the one who went away a few years before. Relatives declared that "he became queer while in the West," but neighbors and friends say "it was the girl." Withal, Landis confessed that the untoward culmination of his love affair had disheartened him. It was at thix time in his life that he took the vow never again to hold a conversation with any one throughout the length of his life. And he has lived up to this self-imposed "no talk for life" sentence unflinchingly for thirty years. Today the woman whom Landis wooed is a widow. Her husband was killed on a railroad sixteen years ago. She lives with her parents near the Landis home, but Ben never speaks to her.

ROOT KNOT AND WILT. Rotation of Crop For Controlling Them In Cotton Growing. By W. A. ORTON. Bureau of Plant Industry, Washington. A rotation of crops must be worked out in detail for each farm to fit its particular needs. The essential principles to be observed are as follows: First. To use crops Immune to root knot in order to starve out the pest. BOOT SHOT ON COTTON PXiAAT. Second, To build up the fertility of the soil and especially to increase the amount of organic matter or humus. Third. To secure an adequate income during each year of the rotation. Fourth. To keep the land free from weeds that are liable to root knot. A list of the crops not liable to root knot which can be used in such rota-j tions follows: Corn, winter oats, rye.) wheat, crab grass. Iron cowpea, velvet, bean, peanut, beggarweed. Some of the crops susceptible to nem-' atodes and therefore to be avoided in rotations for root knot are cowpeas (except Iron), alfalfa, vetch, soy beans, ; clover, sugar cane, tomatoes, okra, cucumbers, cantaloupes, watermelons, celery, beans, sweet potatoes, tobacco, potatoes, peaches, ngs, mulberries. The Iron cowpea is occasionally slightly affected in Florida, but is practically Immune in the cotton belt Seed of the Iron cowpea containing admixtures of other kinds is dangerous and should be avoided. Bermuda grass, chnfas and summer oats are slightly sosceptittte. but probably can be used in rotation when root knot is only slightly prevalent. Many weeds are also to be avoided because subject to root knot The commoner of these are maypop, Indian petato, saw brier, red root or pigweed (amarauthus) and purslane. The following treatment is suggested for fields infected with both wilt and root knot: Beginning m the fall, sow winter oats. These may be cut for hay in May or allowed to ripen. Follow the oats with iron cowpeas, sown broadcast or, better, in drills, where they can be cultivated once or twice. Cut these peas f$r hay and plow the land at once for another crop of winter grain. This may be succeeded by corn, with Iron cowpeas or peanuts between the rows. The third year a wilt resistant variety of cotton may be planted. Wheat or rye may be substituted for oats and the velvet bean for the Iron cowpea, especially in the more southern districts. Considerable relief is often obtained by a single year's rotation with oats followed by crab grass or winter oats or rye followed by Iron cowpeas, but not all the nematodes are destroyed. ILowever, it is much more profitable in the long run to practice a three year rotation like that previously described. The Buay Ba. There are 300.000 beekeepers in this country and an annual production of honey to the value of $13.000,000. . Leave all colonies in the best condition possible for winter. Don't run the comb honey snperbs on weak stocks; it won't workKeep the hive covers well painted. The body of the hive needs only a little paint. White is the proper color. In localities where aster, goldenrod and other fall blooms abound it is well to look for surpioe even in September. Don't keep the honey on hand too long, as it will not bring more than it will daring tike next few weeks. A can of carriage paint will not cost much, but it will make the buggy look better, and you can put it on yourself. LETTER LIST. Women Miss Daisy Adams, Mrs. Benj. Brackney, Mrs. R.

FOLK FOR CHANGE IN CONVICT LABOR Present Missouri System Not Favored. Jeirerson City, Mo., Nov. 14. When the legislature meets early in January it will find that Gov. Folk, in the message which he will send to it, will recommend some change in both the general primary and senatorial primary laws and also in relation to the leasing of convicts in the penitentiary to contra ctors, under which system they are brought, in some measure at least, In direct competition with outside labor. In the next few days the governor will prepare the first draft of the measure, and though he is not Inclined to to talk freely concerning all the subjects upon which he will tooch, ha does say changes in t he laws to which reference has been made will be recommended by him. Another of the recommendations which will be embodied in the message will be the abrogation of the contract convict system as rapidly as the existing contracts expire, and most of them, if not all of them, have only about twelve months to run. The governor will recommend as a substitution for the sresent system the employment of the convicts by the state keeping them engaged in the production of supplies for the state's ellemosynary and penal institutions, and even for those required by the public institutions of counties and municipalities. Foley's Honey and Tar clears the air passages, stops the irritation In the throat soothes the inflamed membranes, and the most obstinate cough disappears. Sore and inflamed lungs are healed and strengthened, and the cold is expelled" from the system. Refuse any but the genuine in the yellow package. A. G. Luken & Co. Dr. George B.

The "loan stmrV business which has extorted hundreds of thousands of dollars of usurious interest from salaried employes and elsewhere every year, is the latest target of attack. As a result of the recent decision of the Illinois supreme court declaring unconstitutional the recent statute designed to check this illegal business, a movement has been set on foot by lawyers here to frame a new measure to submit to the coming legislature and meanwhile to prosecute as many as possible of these, parasites, who prey on the defenceless.
