Hard times prevailed throughout the
country in 1898. Hundreds Of men
were out of work in every village and
city. Small financial concerns went
under and the big concerns were very
conservative.
This condition made the proxy crop
unusually good prior to the converting
of the twenty-seventh annual commu-
~nication of the M. w. Grand Lodge in
Kansas City, August Is.

This keeps the planks OF the floor so
that they can be kept dry Cleats are
often nailed to the walls SO that the
nests can be hung up when the house
Is being washed out.
The walls are made double, so that
the hogs will be Protected from any
draft. This house is built with by e.
inch studding, which is fastened to the
foundation by studding sockets. The
outer side Of the studding is covered
with drop siding, and on the inside
dressed and matched ceiling is used.
For the inside finishing wall, board
can also be used. Several OF the
wall board concerns are making wall
board that is particularly suited to
this kind OF work. Some Of these
brands are disinfected, SO that they
will be very satisfactory from sani.
tary standpoint.
The ceiling is made in the same way
except that the outside is covered
with sheathing, with shingles on top
OF that.
Two rows OF windows are placed
In the ceiling SO that the sunshine
can penetrate into all corners OF the
house. These windows are made with
a galvanized iron frame and are gen.
orally covered with a heavy screen.
A good yentilating system is pro-
yided, as 1t is very important that the
hogs have plenty of fresh air. This
air must be obtained without causing
a draft. as drafts are often fatal to
hogs.

President Wilson accepted the res

President accepted his resignation
Both take effect Immediately. Major
General Hugh l.. Scott, chief OF staff
Of the army, automatically becomes
secretary of war ad interim.
The resignation came as a distinct
surprise not only to Washington gen.
orally, but to members of the Cabinet.
One Cabinet officer said that while he
knew there was a difference OF opin.
ion between the President and Mr..
Garrison over handling the army
plans, he had not the slightest suspi.
cion that an actual break was impend.
Ing. Although Mr.. Garrison first sug.
gested that he leave the Cabinet last
month, Mr.. Wilson did not formally
accept his resignation until late
Thursday afternoon, when informed
that Mr.. Garrison had left for New
York and that q rumor of his resigna--
ton were current. The President then
dictated the letter Of acceptance and
dispatched 1t Immediately.
1t was not until 8 o'clock Thursday
night that formal announcement OF thu
Garrison and Breckenridge resigna
