man in this special registration dis
trict must have been called for SER
vice before his neighbors just across
the street, but in an adjoining pre-
cinct were summoned.
10000 the Limit
The drawing tomorrow was fixed at
10000 numbers because an exemption
district in Lansing, Mich, has 10,263
registered men. This is the largest
district or record here. Seven states
have failed thus far to report their
maximum districts. however. and TO-
500 names will be drawn to take care
of the improbable possibility that
larger district will show up later.
The change in plan throws an enor-
nous burden Of work on General
Crowders office. which had to be COM
pleted tonight. In one room score of
clerks pounded away with the number
ing machines through the night maxi
ing up the $500 additional key num-
hers necessary. In another room so
men. girls and boys toiled over bowls
OF black capsules, rolling up the. num-
hered slips as they were received and
slipping them into the concealing CELIA
tin covering from which they will be
taken by the announcers tomorrow.
Alabama, first state on the roster of
the Union, represents it's largest ex-
emption district as containing 1925
registrants. Then in the drawing to~
morrow the numbers from 1925 to TO-
500. inclusive, can be disregarded en-
tirely so far as Alabama is concerned.
No Interest in High Ones
BY the same process Maine has no
interest in numbers above 1854 New
Hampshire 1888, New York 1895;
Rhode Island 4068.
The states whose maximum districts
are not yet reported in Washington are
Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Missouri, Texas and Yer
mont.
Officials Not to Blame
a second statement explaining that no
claim should be attached to local Of
ficials whose failure to shuttle the cards
in their jurisdiction caused abandon
ment of the more elaborate plan. He
also pointed out that this failure was
not confined to New Jersey, but was
widespread. The statement follows:
AN alteration of the mechanism of
the drawing was rendered necessary
this afternoon by the fact that advices
received from New Jersey and after
wards from other states Indicated that
in some districts the cards had been
serially numbered in blocks for the diff
fefent election districts within eXemp-
ton areas
"A close inquiry as to the methods
followed by these boards shows that
these methods cannot be saN to be in
consistent with the instructions they
had received. 1t was intended, how
ever. that numbers should be assigned
to the cards in whole blocks for each
exemption area and not in blocks for
election districts within the exemption
areas. Obviously the group system of
drawing which had been adopted was
not applicable to cards numbered in
this way and a change to a straight
serial number drawing was immediate
ly ordered to meet the situation.

Had Sworn Vengeance on Him-Was
Reported in 1910 to Have Been Killed
in Baden

Copenhagen, July 19.-Berlin news
papers received here report that Eu-
gene Azef. who eight years ago was
cialists, is among the Russian civil
ians informed in Berlin.
Azef fed from Paris after Vladimir
Bourtzeff Russian revolutionist. had
charged him with being a police spy,
and became a wanderer. travelling I'M
DER various names. When the war
broke out Azef was in Germany and
was interned,. according to the report.
Later he fell sick and was removed to
a. hospital and finally appealed to the
Russian prisoners of war committee
for assistance.
Azef at the time the disclosures were
made against him, was reported TO
have played the double role of Rus
sian Socialist and spy for the Rus
sian secret police for eight years. He
is said to have facilitated the arrest
of hundreds of revolutionists disclosed
dozens of plot against high officials,
and even to have been the organizer Of
transformations. Among the high per-
sonages who Bourtzeff charged met
death as a result OF his Vaccinations
were Grand Duke Sergius and NJ Won
PlehNef, Russian minister of the in
terror. After the revelations of Bourt-
Jeff it was asserted Azef was being
hunted by the revolutionists who had
sworn vengeance on him. In 1910 AZef
was reported to have been assassinat-
ed in Wiesbaden.

LATE FALL AND WINTER HINTS
By BETTY PAkE.

Now is the time to pot bulbs of The
"black" Gala. Plant one bulb in a seven
inch pot, using good rich soil. 1t re-
quires water regularly.
When the ground Is frozen hard
enough to bear a team, haul mulch to
the strawberry bed, the newly planted
trees and shrubs, the borders and beds
of roses, hardy perennials, etc.
If you have a bed of horse radish
or other perennial you wish to get rid
of, dump load of fresh manure upon
1t and leave 1t there until later in the
spring. This is a good way to destroy
clumps of poison ivy.
The aspidistra is plant that will
thrive in almost semi-darkness, is in
sect proof, does not require rich soil,
and gets along If almost no attention
is paid to it.
Early in December dig up COIN
pact lilac, syringa or day lily, in fact
almost any Of the hardy shrubs or per-
ennials, pot or box them, and put in
cool cellar. A month before they
are wanted to bloom bring into warm
room, and give attention as regards,
sunlight, water, air and ventilation.
They develop fast, and give quick and
ample returns for the trouble taken
with them.

EVER TRY A LILY BED7
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

AS the cold winds of winter are
making doubly CHEEKY the window gar
den in the sitting room, the prospects
for a season of beauty in the garden
next year occupies great deal of
thought and attention. If the whole
garden outlook is to be changed or II
only a few improvements are to be
made IN It's outlines, the winter nights
are the time to develop the changes
that you are going to make in your
home grounds.
No really effective change has ever
been made by experimenting without
home planning. If you plan to make
a lily bed choose a well-drained spot
for them, and If possible where the
flower will have background of ever
greens, shrubs or screen of living green
to set off their pale beauty. A back
ground of climbing plants is also good.
Dig the bed two feet deep and throw
into the excavation rubbish, tin cans,
old shoes, rocks, brick bats and the
like, insuring drainage, as the lily
cannot stand cold, wet feet.
Enrich the soil with manure from
the COW stable, worked well into the
soil with sand or sifted ashes. Plant
the bulbs eight to twelve inches deep,
according to their size, in a pocket OF
sand.
Just before the cold weather sets
In cover the bed with a litter Of old
leaves, being sure that the storms OF
winter will not uncover the bed. Lilies
want shade during the hottest part OF
the day.
Lilies are easy to force If the fol
lowing instructions are carried out
Select large, solid, heavy bulbs Of the
Bermuda lily.
Prepare soil that is light, fine and
very rich, with well-rotted manure
cow manure is best. FIJI large pot
half full, then press in three bulbs, al
lowing them to touch one another, with
three inches of soil between them and
the pot.
The size Of the pot depends upon
the size Of the bulbs. The bulbs should
be set in nest of sand and sur.
rounded with it. Then cover the bulbs
with about two inches of soil and
place the pots in cool corner of the
cellar, allowing the bulbs to make
plenty Of root growth.
In about six weeks the roots should
appear plentifrlly outside of the ball
Of earth, and when this happens the
pots are ready to be taken into light
and warmth.
AS the stalks shoot up, fill the pots
with earth to within an inch Of the
rim Of the pot.
Do not put the pots in a hot, DRY

IRIS GROWS IN NORTHERN
GARDENS

Iris is a good Northern plant. 1t is
hardy, it blooms with wonderful pro-
fusion early in the season, and no
flower of which I have any knowledge
excels it in richness and range of
color.
It runs through pearly white,
through many shades of blue, yellow
and violet, and ITO dark purple and
maroon and in many varieties several
of these colors are seen in the same
flower.
The iris Is the orchid Of the gar
den. With all its richness Of color 1t
has not the least suggestion Of coarse
ness. We have no better border plant.
1t is most effective when planted in
large masses.
While unsurpassed for garden deco
ration, 1t is equally valuable for cut
ting on account Of it's long stalks and
it's habit of developing the buds after
cutting.

roof of the building is largely re-
sponsible for the appearance and 1t
should be proportional with this idea
In mind, but the storage capacity is
very often of greater Importance than
the appearance. Properly designed
dOrmers can often be used to obtain
q pleasing appearance, where the roof
surface is large. One Of the easiest ways
to obtain attractive appearance Is to
mount good type of modern venti-
lator on the roof, at as many points as
there is need for them and in addi-
ton to the appearance, this equipment
Is considered absolutely necessary
from the standpoint Of healthy stock,
among the farmers ''who know"
Economy consists in using the least
wall area, minimum Of non-useful
door space, saving Of building materi-
ais wherever possible, reduction of
heat loss through the walls, all re-
sulting in saving of money both In
construction Of the building and In its
subsequent use. Sometimes there is
too little money invested in farm build

maintaining the stock is excessive.
There should be balance struck be-
tween the labor cost of doing the farm
work and the interest on the money
invested In buildings constructed for
the purpose of reducing this labor
cost.
Practicability consists in proper d.
mensions Of stalls, passages, doors,
cutters, hay-racks, posts, beams, brac-
ing and other parts. This considera-
ton is that which makes It advisable
to consider each building for the par
ticular conditions under which 1t is
to be used. The buildings should be
large enough to accommodate bump
er crop and as much stock as the farm
will proftably maintain. Remember
that it is far more expensive to add to
building than it is to make Il large
enough In the first place.
There Is great difference in the
convenience Of barns. Such things as
the arrangement for feeding, layout Of
feed and litter passages, facing Of an
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1917-12-06

imals, location OF feed rooms. silo.
doors, and hay chutes, all mean ease
or extra work as the case may be. Ar
rangement for cleaning, location Of
litter carrier and feed carrier tracks,
placing of doors and harness rooms,
methods of storing hay, provision for
installing hay forks. are all matters
which should be very carefully con-
sidered.
BY sanitation is meant the effect OBJ
tained by location of windows for dis
tribution of light, doing away with obs
struction to light. providing proper
height of windows from floor, giving
proper slope to stalls, passages and
cutters for good drainage. arrange
ment for a constant circulation Of
fresh, pure air, making the stable floor
impervious to moisture and easily
flushed out and finishing Off ceilings
and side wallis to be dust free. Too
much sunlight cannot be given to the
stock. If a healthy herd is desired,
sunlight must get into every nook and
corner of the building at least once a
day. Sun Is natures disinfectant and
cleans a stable Of disease germs.
A farm barn for the stabling Of
dairy cows, horses and beef cattle, Is
shown In the accompanying illustra>
tions. 1t is 60 feet by "A feet In size,
and is Of the monitor roof type of barn
so often seen In Indiana and Illinois.
The dairy stable end Of the barn is
partitioned across opposite the silo.
The steel COW stalls are set In the
concrete floor In the usual way, and
there is an alley behind the cows wide
enough for good passage through.
The horses are In one wing and the
loose stock runs in a covered barn
yard or partially enclosed shed In the
other wing.
Hay storage reaches from the
ground to the peak In the center Of
the barn. The wings also are ncored
over the stables and the cattle shed, so
the whole size Of the barn is made In
to storage from this floor up. Usual
~ straw Is blown into the wings at
threshing time and the center Of the
barn Is filled with hay.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1917-12-06

There are feed racks running the
whole length of the stock shed. Over
these feed racks are chutes to let the
hay or other roughage down from the
big NOW so that the racks are easily
filled at feeding time. At the same
time hay is let down in the feeding
alley on the side of the barn for the
dairy cows. It is better not to have
any direct connection between the COW
stable and the overhead storage. Hay
for the horses and straw for horse
bedding is put down another chute in
the horse wing.
Placing the silo at one corner Of the
barn makes 1t easy to feed silage to
all Of the live stock, because Of the
manner in which the different alleys
branch off and extend In different d.
rections to reach the managers.
1t would be difficult to build better
farm barn where accommodation Is
wanted for horses and dairy cows and
young stock or beef cattle in one
building. It is what might be called a
general farm stock barn. 1t holds a
great amount of rough fodder, because
of the depth of the hay bay. When
hay is put into such storage NOW
in the summer time and refilled later,
the height is sufficient to settle the
hay very solid in the bottom, so that
the space between the ground and the
roof in the center part of this build
ing will hold large quantity of hay.
Considering the size of the barn, go
by "a feet, it is cheap barn to build
The construction is very simple. The
center part is built with uprighta
which reach to the plate and the wings
are added like sheds, with the excep-
ton that solid concrete foundation
reaches all the way around, which
makes the barn permanent. Such a
foundation adds great deal to the
value of the building, both In service
and looks.
