A bed in the ceiling is the newest
for those who own small bungalows OF
cottages which lack guests rooms
The arrangement does not usurp wall
closet or floor space. Two false pan.
els ;,re employed, so that The place OF
concealment Is always covered. When
the bed is lowered to the floor one of
these panels descends and seals the
opening. The other one, which is
held below the bed, fits into place
when the latter is raised. The bed is
held in q box installed between the

attached to its four corners pass
around pulleys mounted in the retain
ing box, extend through channels cut
IN the joists, and are made fast to
winding drum fitted in one of the side

CORN CROPS OF THE W0RLD
Most Of Countries Of Europe Are I'm.
Porters-United States and Angsn-
tina Greatest Producers.

Among the entente allies Italy is the
only country which produces corn on
a large scale. Her crop usually ex-
ceeds 100000 bushels. Some Of
this is used up in food products. but
not under such homely forms as the
hOmlny and corn pone Of the United
States. Austrla-Hungary, notwith-
standing her own production, is az i'm
porter Of corn, as is Germany. France
raises a small crop of her own; 1t rare
ly exceeds 20,OO0,000 bushels, AMI or
dinarily she imports about the same
quantity. The United Kingdom. which
is not a corn-growing country, does not
import large quantities in proportion
to the population. The imports range
from 100000 to 100.000O00 bushels.
Next to the United States the Argen-
tine republic is the chief corn-produc-
ing country in the western hemisphere.
Her crop sometimes exceeds 100000
600 bushels. The domestic COnsump-
ton is not great. The native popula-
ton uses corn as food, but a large
proportion OF the people Of Argentina
are from the Mediterranean countries,
and are not accustomed to this diet,
even when they are themselves the
producers.
IN 1914, when Argentina produced |
approximately 263,000,000 bushels, she |
exported about 100000 bushels.
Tho balance was used for stock feed
ing. This year it is understood that
crop conditions Will make available
a considerable quantity of corn for ex-
mort to Europe, if the allies want it. Ar
gentina exports corn to the United
States, Notwithstanding our own abun-
dnnt crop, but this 10 because of GER
tain qualities which make the Argen-
tine corn useful for glucose and SINH
lar products.

"Some of our past loans did scare
the plain people. They were like the

This hotel was so very swagger
that the guests all felt like inmates
or prisoners.
"There was little man who arrived
there one night and rang his bell for

again. Still no answer. Then he put
his finger on the button and held 1t

COMMUNITY TO
BUY GOOD BULL
This, Says Livestock Specialist,
IS Best Way to Get Better
Cattle in Most Places
ALL PEOPLE ACT TOGETHER
Cooperation In This Kind of Work Is
the Only Way to Get Results, and
Results This Way Come With the
Least Expense.

Everybody is talking better live
stock, but after all the talking is over
it is not much clearer to the average
farmer how he is to get any better
livestock than it was before. He is
convinced that he needs better live
stock, but a frst-class bull costs
too much for him. It is not econom-
zeal for a single farmer in commu-
nifty to buy a high-priced bull to use
in the improvement of his own herd of
perhaps half a dozen animals, and
when such a person becomes in
spired with sufficient ambition to
make a purchase, his efforts are sell
dom backed up by enthusiasm and ap-
probation from his neighbOrs. The
valuable animal after very meager
service extending over a space of
about three years, is sent away to be
slaughtered, even before his true
value is known.
The only economical solution of this
difficulty. is to be found in the pur-
chase of community bull in which
the entire farming community will be
interested and to which all of the
bro eGing animals of the community
will have access. A first-class bull is
SO secured at small cost to any indi
Vidal and the plan gives the bull a
much greater field of usefulness The
average pure-bred bull owned by an
individual in a community is rarely
well enough patronized to justify his
maintenance, mainly because fharasagas
not the community sss..,s

Shortly before the train left the
One Hundred and Fifty-ffth street

a woman leading little girl by the
hand rushed in, settled herself com.
fortably In cross seat and whispered
something to the child.
Directly across from them two men
had found seats. The train had gone
but a short distance when the little
girl became friendly with the men
while the mother apparently was I'M

small bag she carried, pulled out a bill
ard gave it to the child, who in turn
handed it to one Of the men, asking
him to please change it, which he
readily did.
At the next station mother and child
left the train.
As he saw the two hurry through
the exit to the street, after waving the
little girl good-by, the companion of
rhe man who had changed the bill
said:
LET me look at that note; 1t just
struck me there may be something
wrong about it."
They examined it. He was right. It
was a counterfeit.
