the center of the barn. The lower boards
of the crib are hinged, and feed boxes
built on a level with the crib bottom, so
as to make practically a self-feeder,
especially when feeding shelled corn.
Hogs sleep under the corncrib.
Hayracks on the sides are 50 feet long.
Hay is put in at the ends of the barn.
Sliding doors, controlled by weights,
are used at the ends of the NOW. They
are closed when the hay is in the NOW.
There are doors alongside the haymow.
When filling the NOW we leave space
of four feet between the hay and the
sides of the barn, which enables us to
throw the hay into the racks when feed
ing. The south end is open. The north
end has doors which we close in bad
weather. We have lots on the north.

DRINK AND DIVORCE.
Some Statistics Which show the Re-
linton Of the One to the
Other.

Here are some comparative statistics
for consideration: Cincinnati, 3,5lS
marriages, with a total of 405 divorces,
ratio of one in eight. New York, 49,
447 marriages, ST. divorces, a ratio of
one to forty. Chicago, 1864 mar
riages, 1905 divorces, a ratio of one in
nine. Boston, 6,312 marriages. 446 di-
vorces, ratio of one in fourteen. Phil
adelphia, 1912 marriages. 1872 divorces,
ratio of one in twenty. San Francisco,
1866 marriages, SAC divorces, a ratio of
one in four
That drink is responsible for a large
proportion of this domestic infelicity is
the testimony of those who have had
much to do with court business. A let
ter from Cincinnati says only yester-
day eight divorces were granted in
Judge Smiths divorce court and every
one of them was caused by strong drink.
Beer and whisky were responsible for
these marital wrecks. Kate Chaplin
testified that her husband was book
keeper in brewery, but drank so heavi-
ly he was constantly getting in a mud
die and losing his job. He left her three
years ago and never came back. Bessie
Russell said that her husband spent most
of his time in saloons. He was con-
stantly beating her. While she worked
he remained in bed Louise Andrews
said that her husband got uproariousIy
drunk and cruelty beat her Araminta
Barker said she owned a piece of land.
when her husband got possession of it
and then drank up all the proceeds
Jessie Miller's husband was a hard
drinker and gambler, failing TO sup
port her. Minnie Schmurr said that her
husband always came home drunk. and
made her sleep on the floor. Laura
Lylins said her husband preferred the
saloon to her company and was drunk
most of the time. Lydia Allen said her
husband spent every cent that he could
get for liquor and lived in the saloons.
So we see that the saloon is at the bot
tom of the worlds matrimonial unhap-
piness and ruin. Shut up the saloon
and strengthen the family educational

PROSPERITY AND NO SALOONS.
Striking Financial Results Obtained
I'm Certain Dry Towns in
Kansas.


The towns and counties OF Kansas
In which the prohibitory law is strict
| ~ enforced are as a rule, better off
| financially than those which allow
open saloons and collect a monthly
revenue from them for the support
of the city government. The towns
| in which the monthly fine system has
| been longest in force are deep in debt;
they are compelled to maintain large
and expensive police force, and the
criminal dockets of their county
courts are nearly always crowded.
The opposite is true in the towns
which will not tolerate saloons. This
is aptly illustrated in the history of
Hutchinson, a town of 10000 inhabi-
tants, and, with the exception of Wich-
! tia, the largest town in the south
central part of the state. After allow
ing Joints" or illegal saloons to run
for a number of years under the
monthly fine sys&em-practically a Ii
sense for the support of the city-a
dry" government was instituted two
years ago and the saloons driven out.
The result is given in recent state
ment made by the mayor, Mr.. +. l..
Martin. He says:
For the first time in the history of
the city of Hutchinson the floating
debt of the town has been reduced
during the past two years. The street
$4,000 to a surplus of $4,000 and the
general fund from a $4,000 deficit to
a $4,000 deficit. Not one dollar of
Joint money went into the treasury
in this time.
In the eight years prior, when the
saloons were running, the floating debt
was increased by $4,000 Of this
$4,000 was refunded and $4,000 was
left over for us to pay. During part
of that time as high as $1,000 a month
was collected from the Joints
In two years the criminal docket of
the district court originating from
Hutchinson has practically disap-
peared. The total costs to county and
city of criminal cases originating in
Hutchinson for two years viii be less
than $500, against probably $4,000 to
$4,000 for each two years prior un-
der the fine system of allowing sa-
looms to run.
Tax levies have been reduced. yet
we voted one mill for a Carnegie IL
brary, increased electric lights from
"a to 46, and added q additional wa
ter hydrants and two miles of water
mains to our water plant.
I'VE reduced the police force and
our city has been free from the crimi-
nal element. A large portion of the
money formerly spent in saloons or
lost in gambling has gone into legiti-
mate trade, and our merchants all
report increased business. During
two years not a woman or child has
complained that her husbands, faith.
er's or sons wages were spent in a
saloon or gambling den"

said: "The bartenders are not to blame
