FARMERS
Can Put Up Ice Crop By Fol-
lowing These Rules

Several principles are involved in
keeping ice," says the Ohio Farmer.
There should be good underdrain-
age to carry off water as the ice
melts, for water is a conductor Of
heat. Water melts ice much faster
than air
Perfect ventilation above the ice
is required to keep the covering OF
the insulating material as dry as pos
sible.
''If wet, the covering forms a con-
ductor of heat. Ice must be we'll
packed to prevent the circulation of
air between ice cakes. Good insula-
tion at sides and bottoms must be
provided.
"An ice house ID feet long, IL feet
wide and 10 feet high from ground
caves is q good size for the average
farmer.
Materials that may be used are
stone, brick, concrete or wood. Wood
Is better in many ways although 1t
has one Objectionable tendency to
rot. Cypress is a rot-resisting wood,
although pine is used to a great eE'
tent.
THE walls may be either single or
double. Single walls of matched
boards covered with paper on the
outside are good. Durable walls are
much better, however, on account of
the better insulation.

es of the walls. Space left should be
filled with sawdust, If obtainable, al
though straw will do.
Each cake should be left about an
inch from its neighbor on either side
and a top layer 8 to 12 inches deep
of sawdust or straw should be placed
over the top"

Perhaps through your paper some
of my friends in Mount Vernon would
like to read something from this lovely
home.
This being holiday on account of
George Washington, nearly all the de-
partments are closed for the celebra-
ton of Washington's birthday.
Mrs. Hunt and / have just returned
from the armory where we witnessed
game of basket ball, the first we
have ever seen of this game that is so
popular in Mount Vernon. The game
was a close one and very exciting to
those who were familiar with it, and
we were told it was well played. The
! armory here is much prettier than the
one that Mount Vernon did not build
last summer. 1t Is q very imposing
structure built of gray stone, has a
drill room of 125 feet square floor
space. There is battalion of infan-
try, consisting of four companies of
the home boys, under the command Of
Major John G. Wurm, an excellent drill
master, and disciplinarian. There is
also brass band of thirty pieces that
discourses some very charming music
under the direction of Mr. Walter e.
| Currie, instructor. The boys are
marched to and from the school build
ing morning, noon and night to the
music of a bugle drum corps, and this
is sight worth seeing.
The farm has sugar bush Of 500
trees and the way the sap is coming
out would make Cassius Ewalt sit up
and take notice The boys are hauling
in the sap to the boiling place and it is
keeping them busy to care for it. On
the lawn in front of the administration
building there is quite a lot of sugar
trees and all of them have one bucket
and some of them two. The sugar bush
is not thickly settled with trees, but
scattered over quite large area of
ground Four hundred gallons of ma.
pie syrup were produced from this
camp last season.
Last Sunday we attended services
at the chapel where the nearly seven
hundred children go every Sunday. To
witness the scene of all these wards
of the state of Ohio bowling their heads
in prayer and hear the lovely singing
is an inspiration, and makes one feel
that the institution is one of great good
the battle front for the nation and the
flag
Today the American flag Is waving
in front of every cottage, from all the
larger buildings and from tall flag
staff on the administration building
front. One can see in this that patriot
ism Is not at low ebb in this institu
tion.
This is the eigth day that we have
been with the home at our work and Il
has been a most pleasant task, ant
we have been told that we are begin
ming to act like home people, who have
been here a long time. We are en-
joying this beautiful place and the so
ciety of those with whom we minglC
more and more every day,
We talk and think of our many
friends in Mt. Vernon and wish they
could look in on this home and iti
splendid equipment.
Yours truly,
Leroy G. HUNT.

Chinese Architecture.


The monuments of China are among
the most conspicuous in the world.
Interpreted broadly they range from d
coin or an oracle bone TO the Great
wall. China has more than 1000 inn

at Nanking deserved to be ranged with

AUCH1 BUILDS UP STRONG CABINET
Statement of Foreign Policy Rouses Much Interest

ton of true constitutional govern
ment. As for the new cabinet we must
observe its policy, admiring what is to
be admired and attacking when attack
is deserved. The most important thing
is to foster patriotic nationalism for
the sake Of the nation and the people.
Russian Alliance
The fact that NiscOunt MotonO was
one of the trainers of the Russo-Japan-
ese alliance while ambassador at PetrO-
grad and the belief that Count Terau
chi himself has strong Russian sympa
thics has led many friends of the An
glu.Japanese alliance to fear that the
support of the new ministry will be
thrown primarily in putting into effect
the Russian alliance as against the
British. 1t is remarked that Count
Terauchi is the president of the Russo
japanese society and that Baron GOtO,
the new minister of the interior, is the
vice president.
As to the policy Of the new eabintt
towards the United States, great salts
faction is expressed by representative
Japanese that Premier Terauchi's s re.
cent declarations to The Associated
Press should have received such cor.
dial welcome in the United States. The
new cabinet has as yet made no formal
declaration Of it's principles, and Count
Terauchi s interview has given prac,
tically the only indication thus far of
the cabinet 3 attitude on foreign ques.
ti0ns.
In leading article the semi official
Japan Times says that very impOr,
tant statement on the foreign policies
of the empire has been made to the
world by Count Terauchi through The
Associated Press. The newspaper con,
tinued: at is gratifying that the
premier has given an unmistakable as.
surance to the world that there will be
no change in the line of action his cab,
met will pursue in the conduct of our
foreign relations If Count Terauchi,
as premier, places statesmanship before
! soIdiership, his simplicity and sincerity
as soldier will stand him in good
stead, and we do not hesitate to de-
clare that he can be depended upon to
adhere faithfully to his assurances. If
he has in the past been criticized for
" hat has been described as his iron
rule in Chosen (KOrPa), he has never
yet been charged with going back on
his words. - The journal expressed
satisfaction with Count Terauchi 5 atti.
tude towards the United States, and
