granary floor is putting it mildly, But
the moisture came right up through that
cement floor in spite of my pride, with
the results stated. If placed above the
ground, by all means trowef the surface
as smooth as possible, as it is very UNI
pleasant to sweep rough cement floor.
At the time the floor was put in il
was suggested that we lay down a lay
err of three inch tile and put the cement
over these, but it was thought to be
useless expense under the circumstances.
am now convinced that putting in the
tiles would have been money we'll spent,
as We found it necessary to lay board
floor over the cement. Two-inch strips
were laid down and the flooring nailed
to this. This makes a nice, though eX-
pensive floor, which is vermin as well
as damp proof. If anyone has ever
tried putting in cement floor over
layer of tiles / should like to know
with what success so far as solving
the moisture problem.

How La Toilette Pleased a Conservative
Young Man

In the January American Magazine,
there is published "A Letter from a Con
sentative Young Man." in which the atl-
thor tells how he has changed his idea Of
Senator La Toilette. He began, he says,
by thinking that La Toilette was a dan.
gerous fanatic. From reading his auto
biography in The American Magazine,
however, he has come to the conclusion
that he has followed precisely the course
that any good, substantial and genuine
conservative might follow. Following is
one of the points made in the letter:
'IIere is one thing | like especially.
He didn't ride into office on the machine,
then turn 'reformer' and throw down
the good fellows in the machine who
carried him in Nobody can accuse him
of that sort of disloyalty, which is a
form of dsloyalty that has been in
dulged in by great many 'reformers.'
No. he simply went out to farmers by
the thousand and asked them personally
to vote for him. When he got into office
he worked hard and faithfully at the job,
depending on his employers, the people,
to keep him at the job, because he had
served their interests well. | declare
