large dairy barn would also be a
white elephant" for the farmer who
had no dairy or had no market for
the products of large herd of cows.
Each farmer ought to pick the type
of building that is suited to his par
ticular needs and also suited to his
pocketbook. The big dairyman is like
ly to look with scorn on a small barn
such as this, but it fills as important a
position in the farm-building field as
any other. 1t is type that is suited
to the average farm where only few
COWS are kept.
The foundation is made Of concrete
which is carried down to footings be-
low the frost lire and is also carried
above the ground for about foot or
IS inches. Concrete has almost be-
come the universal material for
foundations because it is so easily
handled and also is not affected by

WATERFALL CASTS A SHADOW
Curious Effect of the Full Moon Upon

small barn the windows should be built
so that they can be opened at the top
a little and the barn ventilated in this
way. It seems rather useless to install
a complete ventilating system for so
small barn, and the latter way would
therefore seem to be the best. The
ventilator on the roof is used to ven

siderably to the appearance of the

SHERMAN ON TAXES.

Senator Sherman lately protested
on the floor of the senate that the
north pays by far the larger part of
the taxes levied by means of the emer-
gency revenue measure. OF course the
north pays the larger share of these
taxes, for the simple reason that the
north has more population, more
wealth and does more business in all
lines than the south
New York city pays by far the larg-
est proportion of the income tax, be-
cause there are more huge incomes
in New York than elsewhere in the
country. Does Senator Sherman crit
icise the income tax as sectional leg
1slatlon on this account? Rock Island
pays more personal taxes than rural
Rock Island county, because she has
more to pay taxes on. Senator Sher-
man doubtless pays more taxes than
some of his less fortunate neighbors
at Springfield, but that is his own good
luck.
The senator's attempt to make the
emergency tax sectional issue is alb
surd. The tax is not one-tenth as "sec
tional' as the income tax.

The motion pictures being presented
at the Illinois theatre illustrating the
German side of the great European
conflict are pleasing large audiences
at each entertainment. The pictures
which were brought to Rock Island
through the efforts of The Argus,
associated with the Chicago Daily
News and other publications, are
acknowledged to be the best taken SO
far on the battle fronts. The newspa-
per photographer and famed cores
pendent. DurborOugh, who went to
Europe at the instance of a syndicate
of American journals, has been re-
markedly successful, not only in get
ting at the real points and incidents
and scenes of interest, but has had the
own personality upon the German mil
| itary authorities as to win their
confidence and cooperation and enable
! him to see and picture the most init
mate side of their field operations.
The pictures are accompanied by ar
interesting descriptive lecture by Bel
Francis Whitney and while the opin

are of course his own, his running tall

ON WITH THE IMPROVE
MENT.

The Twentieth street property hold
ers having come to an agreement as
TO the kind Of paving material that is
desired on that part of the thorough
fare to be improved, between Seventh
and Eighteenth avenues, it is hoped
the municipal commission will push
the preliminaries, to the end that the
improvement may be put in early In
the spring.
While 1t is to be regretted that as
3pEalt was not continued from Sew
enth avenue south as far, at least, as
Eleventh avenue, from which point to
the top of the hill brick is doubtless
more desirable, the majority of the
property holders have, nevertheless,
got what they want, and that should
settle it.
The use OF hillside brick south OF
Eleventh avenue has been advocated
by officers of the Humane society and
It IS understood may be used. That
too, is up to the property holders.

WASTED TIME.

A committee of the United States
senate has investigated the charges
made by Colonel Roosevelt a few
months ago to the effect that Presi-
dent Wilson and Mr. Bryan had used
their official influence to favor certain
shipping concerns when the ship pur-
chase bill was under consideration in
congress. OF course the committee
found no basis for the Roosevelt
charges, which were made with char
acteristic recklessness. The fact that
Colonel Roosevelt refused to appear
before the investigating body to back
up his charges should have been n
itself sufficient to refute his state
ments. If Mr.. Wilson were disposed
to notice the insinuations of his jeal-
Gus predecessor and were inclined tt
a Rooseveltian vocabulary, he might
find occasion to use a short and ugly
word in describing the charges of the
colonel.

pie In New York did not witness this
show. 1t makes some estimates and
then remarks that 1.-THE Birth of a Ma
ton" was seen by not more than a
fourth of New York people who are of
show-going age.
Life wants to know what the theater
movie or otherwise, is doing for the
other three-fourths of New 1ork's
people. The argument is that three
out of four people who live in New
York and who are of the age to attend
the theatre never witness a perform
ance, therefore they get nothing out
of the theater And yet 1t is put down
as an institution that makes appeal to
everybody. Evidently there is some
thing wrong with this notion.
Perhaps the fact is that most of the
people who live in large city like
! New York see less of the world and
it's activities, its people, than do those
living in other places. The pioneer on
the frontier sees more that is doing
than do three out OF four people in the
| city of New York. The pioneer has an
| infinitely bigger chance 20 develop.

PREPAREDNESS AND PEACE.

Detroit News.)
This war is going to end one day.
Victor and vanquished are going to sit
down in the midst of the desolation
they have made, to think. They are
going to face the most colossal task
of rehabilitation that man has ever
faced. They are going to look around
the world for such sympathy and help
as they may find.
In that day, when with wearied,
blood-shot eyes the nations of Europe
look hitherward, what kind of a Uni
ted States are they going to behold?
Are they going to see United
States, armed to the teeth, standing
on her coasts, shouting challenge
saying, Eve heard you want fight,
Gomez"
Or are they going to see United
States with all the armament of peacs
and all the munitions of prosperity
and all the arts of healing and plenty
modified for the help of the nations

preparedness which is not receiving
as much attention as 1t deserves, nor

Our most rabid preparationists de
sire no less than this. And this is no
only contrary to the ideals that hav,
always guided us, but it may alst
place US very much out of joint with
the times; for who knows that aftel
this war there are going to be an,
more great standing armies? WIFI
