feet below grade with wide footings to
ensure against settling or cracking.
In fact, ii might be said that the whole
! substructure of this barn is made
in one large piece, since the con.
crete floor and foundation wall are
poured together. This method of con.
struction Is very practical for it not
only furnishes an exceptionally solid
base upon which to set the wooden
superstructure, but it assists in reduc.
ing the labor of cleaning the barn due
to the smooth, hard floor surface.
The framework of the building Is
plank frame construction starting from
the top Of the wall. Plank frame truss
work extends from the top Of the wall
to the peak of the roof. This frame is
solid, allows a clear NOW space with
out projecting crOss-tile members, and
when set upon the concrete wall and
secured with anchor bolts will consti
tute a skeleton for the barn which will
insure long life and low depreciation.
The ventilating system consists of
four fouI-air shafts, which reach from
near the floor to the metal ventilators
on the peak. These fOur-air shafts are
protected by the corners Of the build.
ing next to the stable doors. There
are three ventilators on the roof, the
two end ventilators being used espe.
cially to take care of the foul air from
the shafts, and the ventilator at the
center is Cor the hay NOW only. In.
take pipes are provided in the walls
in such a way as to take the air in
from just above the concrete wall and
deliver it into the stable near the cell
ing. This ventilating system is partic.
ularly efficient and forms further i'm
portant device for maintaining sani
tary conditions In the barn.
A modern barn structure of the type
discussed in the previous paragraphs
is an investment which no owner of a

TOWN IS BUILT ON POTASH
Thriving Community Grows Up Be-
cause of Discovery of Almost
Pure Article.


Holland, Neb., from little railroad
siding a year ago, with two or three
cars standing on the track, has grown
until it has been placed on the railroad
map as a full-hedged town, shipping
out thirty cars a day Holland prom
ises to grow still more, the Omaha
World-Herald says.
1t is all on account of potash and its
by-products. The fields at Holland arc
the only ones in the United States
where the almost pure article is
found. In Utah and southern Califor-
MIA, where the mineral is taken from
kelp beds, the cost of reducing the
pure potash from the vegetable matter
makes the marketable product expen-
sive.
Here is found an almost pure article
that necessitates nothing but pumping,
boiling and drying, when it is ready for
the refinery, where it brings the here
tofore unknown price of $500 ton. A

tracted for the towns entire output for

slowly.
Despite his confident air, Streetman
could not easily look into her search

Ethel went gayly to meet her bene-

blithesome; but her heart was leaden.

"Hello, Ethel?' They were good
pals-those two. The daughter of one
of his oldest and dearest friends,
Ethel had always occupied niche
all her own in Sir Georges affections.
Sir George was not Of the big type
of Englishman. He was, on the con-

Ethel herself But he was tndeniably
impressive, with his keen, gray eyes,
his fast-whitening hair, and his ex-
quisite manners. And despite the
punctilious politeness that Sir George
