throughout the country have point

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."
Mr. Donnelly is a builder or dry
docks, with orrices at No. 17 Lat
tery Place. Among the niauy d;y
doeks he bus built Is one or 20.000

I have bei'ii au'ay for about two

weeks at the llriflsli front.
Mrs. r.rahani can tell you Unit I
am a very poor letter writer ut the

midst of such a whirlpool of events
you must lie an lenient as possible
on me (or not expresHlng sooner the
gratitude we all feel to yon and all
the folks at home, for tho many
things you have done for us. Since
I arriM'd back with the Company
on January 7 we liave changed sta

fortably located the best quarters
we have had since in tins country.
We are kepi busy nil day long in
(ruining and when night conies arc
willing to turn in nt 7 or X o'clock.
We have made a good record in
taking out H' Hisk Insurance
and In making allotments. Kvery
member has taken out flO.OOii In
surance, and most of the bos have
made allotments, either to sonic
member of his family or to the

we are ernml to none.
Will be glad (o hear from you or

Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are you prepared to handle your prain in bulk? 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. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
