a large amount of the labor Of the
farm is done inside the barn. 1t Is
evident that the question of its con-
venience Is vital one.
The circular construction is the
strongest, because 1t takes advantage
of the lineal, instead of the break
ing strength of the lumber. Each
row Of boards running around the
barn forms a hoop that holds the
barn together. A barrel, properly
hoped and headed, is almost indes-
tructible, and much stronger than a
box, although the hoops are small,
This strength is because the stress
comes on the hoops in lineal direc-
ton. Any piece of timber is many
times stronger on a lineal pull than
on a breaking stress.
All exposed surfaces of round barns
are circular, as both the sides and
roof are arched, which is the strongest
form of construction to resist wind
pressure; besides, the wind In strik-
ing it, glances off and can get no
direct hold on the walls or roof, as
it can on the fiat sides or gable ends

the same is true Of the roof boards

is put on vertically and the roof built
dome shaped, no scaffolding is re-
quired inside or out. These are points
of great economy in the round con-
struction.

JOHN CORT GETS
 MRS. LESLIE CARTEL

Mrs. Leslie Carter has signed con- tracts with John Cort whereby the celebrated actress will be starred un- der Cort's mana cement for period of five years.
 Mrs. Carter will be presented the coming season in new play by Ru- pert Hughes. This play is said to be of exceptionally good construction and pleases the former Belasco sta: a great deal better than anything she has had in several years. The princi- pal role is absolutely to her liking as it affords unusual opportunity fo.' Mrs. Carter's particular style of em- otional acting. ''>--
 John Cort has the reputation of be- ing an extravagant producer; he wants everything of the best. Mrs. Carter is a stickler on detail, and as the scenes in the play call for elab- crate settings much is to be expected of the production. Mrs. Cartars sea- son will open early in October. Later in that month she will begin an ex" tended New York engagement.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

by focal applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur- races.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be- cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.

Plan of the Federation.

Plan of the Federation.
 The central idea is federation of organizations throughout the country composed of Democrats that shall stand for the needed improvements in the system of party government and other progressive issues and ope- rate by selecting in each state and in the nation, by postal vote, only those issues upon which public senti- fnent is agreed or can readily be brought to an agreement. Then, by the executive committees of the state and national organizations the can didates within the Democratic party who are to come before the primaries will be systematically questioned and their replies published to the mem- bers of the party. Thus the issues will be raised, it is said, and it is ex- pected that the Democratic voters will attend the primaries and vote for the candidates who are pledged to the needed Improvements in the system of government and other reforms.
 The prospectus of the new organi- zation sets forth that "a political in- vention has been brought forth, where by the power of the party machine to evade the live issues can readily be frustrated. It follows that ev- cry issue on which the great bulk of the voters are agreed can promptly be enacted into law if the proper steps are taken. In other words the progressive party leaders, who are patriotically struggling against the trenched monopolies, can be rein forced and in such a way that the combined organizations can easily sweep the field"
 Name of the Founders.

 s'The object of the Democratic Fed eration," it is explained, lis to help place in power the Democratic party organization, pledged to complete the establishment of a peoples rule sys- tenn of government in city state and nation, along with revision of the tariff and other needed reforms.
