That structure of 49 stories, towers
700 feet above tho ground, Hut at the
present time a 55-story building is in
course 6f construction which, when
completetd, will be 750 feet high. So
It will bo seen that tho 100-story
building, like tho 100-foot boat, Is
really not n dream but actually In
sight ns a practlcnl realization.
According to Mr. Mortimer, the erec
tion of a 100,-story building will not
offer any more serious engineering
probloms than aro to bo found in put
ting up one of 45 or 60 stories. Tho
foundations will not havo to be nny

ble to build one.

Charged With Arson
A fow weeks later a laborer who
was thought to hnve somo knowledgo
of tho crlmo was found murdered In
the road on tho outskirts or Old
Bridge. Tho murder of tho laborer
was followed by tho finding of tho
body, In a deserted part of tho town,
of Thomas Collins, a prominent citi
zen of Old Bridge, who had mado tho
statement that ho would spend every
cont he possessed to bring tho mur
derer to Justice.
In tho menntlmo tho Insurance com
panies, tho county board of freehold
ers and the townspeople had detec

ries of crimes that two well-known
detective agencies gavo up the work.
It wns a prlvato detective, employed
by an Insurance company, that finally
placed tho blamo nt tho door of tho
Baptist church elder. Tho Apploby

Now Jersey.

planned Is evidenced by the fact that
tho girl preceded tho regular Inspec
tor, who dally collects tho cash, by
but n few minuses. So closo was her
calculation that while she was getting
cash from ono cashier tho regular In
spector was collecting from a cash
register only a fow feet away. Sho
told tho cashier that the regular In
spector had boon discharged and sho
would In futuro mnko dnlly collec

over nbout $50 In bills of small de
nominations, which tho collector put
in n small tin box a duplicate of
tho ono carried by tho regular Inspec

peated at ono of the counters on tho
main floor.
Emboldened by her success, tho girl
made her way to tho suit and cloak
department, but tho cashier thero" bo
camo suspicious and refused to turn
over tho day's cash, which amounted
to moro than $4,000. Tho girl did not
romonstrnto, but saying she would

BEST SOIL FOR DRY FARMING
Dnly Types of Land Not Adapted Aro
Alkali, Heavy Gumbo or Light
Sandy or Gravelly.
(By II. F. PATTERSON, Montana Sta
tion.) During tho past two years wo havo
tecclvdd a largo number of Inquiries
as to tho best typo of land for dry
farming. Thero nro a number of dif
ferent types upon which farmers havo
tad good bucccsb by following dry
farming principles. Tho only typos of
toil. that nro not well adapted to dry
larmlng aro alkali lands, heavy gum
to lands, or light sandy or gravelly
oils, for tho reason that they do not
inve a good physical condition. Tho
lay and alkali soils aro so fine In
cxturo that It Is almost Impossible
or tho plants to mako uso of tho
(nolsturo that theso soils contain. Tho
jandy soils aro so ppen and porous
(hat thoy will not hold any of tho
water and so nro not woll adapted to
ilry land farming. Of theso two typos
lif soli tho heavy clay and tho sandy,
tho formor Is more desirable.
Tho subsoil is Important In determin
ing whether n land Is' woll adapted for
ilry farming methods or not. Tho sub
soil should bo of such a naturo as to
Sibsorb and hold a largo amount of wa
ter. It Is In tho Bubsoll that wo find
Ihe moisture reservoir, and unless this
toll la of such a charactor as to hold
I ho moisture, wo aro going to havo a
j;reat deal of troublo In trying to dry
(arm It.
The best typo of soil for dry land
(arming Is a sandy clay loam, a soil
Clint has tho power of absorbing nnd
holding n largo amount of moisture
'.nd that can be very easily worked,
find upon which tho dust mulch can bo
easily maintained. It Is vory difficult
to maintain a dust mulch upon a
heavy, stlp, clay soil, whereas upon
a sandy loam this mulch enn bo main
tained without a great deal of work.
iho slopo of tho land best adapted
for dry land ngrlculturo varies with
(ho different localities. Farmers, as a
fule, prefer the land that slopes gently
towards tho north or tho northeast.
'This, however, Is not tho most Impor
tant point, but one worthy of full con
sideration when choosing a farm. Tho
north slopo escapes the direct rays of
Iho sun to n decree. Is a trlfio later
fctartlijg in tho Bpring, which is fro
rmontly an advantage, and Is generally
poi apt to suncr irom not winas nnu

VALUE OF THE HEIFER BEEF
.Meat Is Finer In Grain and Better,
and Thero Is No Waste No Rea
son for Discrimination.
Professor Kennedy of tho Iowa
(college, while in England a fow years
!igo, expressed great surprise at dls
:overlng that butchers pay n higher
price for heifer beet than for steer
oot of tho same age and condition of
Slosh.
; Henry Wallace says this was also a
surprise to him tho first tlmo ho went
inbrpad. Ho found that tho butchers
iwero willing to glvo a premium on
helfors over steers nnd wo found that
in ono or two districts of England
Jnitchors would buy only heifers If
;tboy could-get them,

heifer cuts up better than tho steer of
jiho snmo age and furnishes a better
Einpaclty for beef. "Wo remember
vhon a boy at home," says Mr. Wal
iaco, "when a beef was to bo killed in
tho fall of tho year, mother alwayB
insisted on killing a hclfor, giving tho
bxnet reasons stated by Professor
Konnedy as given by the butchers at
Liverpool that tho moat of tho heifer
)Vaa llnor In tho grain and better nnd
there was less waste."
Thero is absolutely no sonso or
reason for tho discrimination mado
ngainst heifer beef in tho United
(States. With cow beef it is somowhnt
different, for tho reason that a cow
that has produced a number of calves
will not dress ns large a per cont. of
beet and tho nnlmal being older will
