If you cun find nn answer . to Hint question I wish you would let me know right away, j "The Virginia (engineering Coin pnny of Koanoke, Va., already has made experiments and has otfered to fit out a ship with the boxes for less than 10 per cent Of her cost.

Last day today, j committee of fourteen members ob jected lo Mr, Donnelly compared the pres ent construction of the Lucia to fircproor construction of ; buildings on luud, and in referring to the co::t of slightly lers thun 10 per cent of the vessel, said: "When It Is considered that over a considerable . period last summer underwriters were charging Insur ance on ships and cargo at a' rate of 100 per Cent per annum and los ing money, the relative insignifi cance of (his amount is apparent." Mr. Donnelly told how. when he was chosen for the committee on ship protection the patent papers of his buoyancy ' contrivance were turned over to It by the patent off Ive, wllh others. He said that Gen eral Goethals Indorsed a recommen dation to try out the schenio. Hon' Ilexes. Are I'll led. "Tho experiment," he continued, "resulted in a wooden box made from ordinary boxhoard, nnd cov ered with galvanised sheetiron made absolutely water and air-tight by carerul Bolderlng. The boxes are approximately three feet long, two feet wide nnd one foot thick, and are made to fit In between the frames on the sides and between tho deck beams under each deck. . "Somewhat larger and thicker boxes ire fitted on each side of the' bulkheads. They are protected from the cargo by the usual cargo bat tens. Between 9000 and 10,000 boxes were required to line the Lucia." Mr. Donnelly then explained that, he has pYovided for "cargo boxes" too boxes separate from the ship boxes to support a cargo, us of coal, A curgo like cotton would require no cargo boxes, and a protected ship could enrry almost as ninny bales or cotton . as an unprotected one. Tile boxes would reduce the coal carrying capacity ot the Lucia about 14 per cent under maximum. "1 have turned over my patents to the government," Mr. Donnelly said. I wouldn't even have had my name mentioned In connection with the idea. "The rireproofing of buildings for saving properly and human life was only perfected us a result of public opinion, sustained and fost ered by the public press, nnd ir the world Is to bo relieved, not only in war, but also in all future time, from the menace of the sea, it will he only in response to the persistent and insistent demands of die public nt large, with a total disregard of tho difficulties, financial and olher wlse, (o be met."

Do not wtjit until Spring; and Summer when you are buried with work and worried with labor shoitage, but build your graneries now. You can buy the lumber and roofiiitr paper for a first-class 1000 bushel portable granary for ..5i and it will Inst for years. Sacks for tho same amount of rjrain will cost you $125. 00 and this would be a dead loas against this year's crop. A granary of this size can he moved anywhere and can be filled directly from the thresher, doiaj1: away with hih priced labor handling anil sewing sacks. The boys in the trenches need the sacks fur sand bags for the protection of their very lives and perhaps your buy is among them. Spend your money in your, own valley by buying lumber manufactured nt home. When .you buy sacks part of tho money goes to India. f BUILD YOUR GltANAIW'S NOW Be prepared by building them before the farming season opens up. Bo sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low grade lumber will give you trouble in a ftw seasons. Don't Use green lumber. Save money keep what you spend at home prevent los3 and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our boys in the trenches; help win (lie war by building granaries now. Portablo granaries of this type are universally used in other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma terial for one granary.
