John p. Wagner. died some months
ago. and at the opening of the trial
of the case. on motion of the plain
fendants.--being two sons. Glenn S.
Wagner and John Howard Wagner.
The pleadings in the case have been
quite extensive. and have occupied
much OF the courts time upon many
occasions. Three amended complaints
have been filed. the last one in Jan
uary of this year. and have been fol-
lowed by various other pleadings on
the part of all parties to the action.
This action was brought by Mr.. Nor
ris and wife to enforce contract
entered into between themselves and
Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner. in April. 1914,
concerning the delivery OF an escrow
deed TO eighty acres of the 16o-acre
ranch formerly owned by Mr.. Norris
and wife near Wetmore. in the south
eastern part OF Custer county. Short
ly before this agreement was enter,
ed into Mr.. Norris and Mr. Wagner
had negotiated for an exchange of
certain properties. In the exchange
Mr.. Norris traded his 160-acre ranch
at Wetmore for some city property
on North 9th street and a i-acre tract
on Lincoln Park: but at the time of
entering into the contract which is
the subject of this suit. the wagners
executed a deed to Norris for eighty

The membranes were not remoy.
ed. but were foreelosed. and suit was
brought on the contract. The defense
of the wagners was that the escrow
deed and contract were signed by
the munder the influence Of fraud.
and that there was no consideration

the material Is too gooo Conductor
of heat, and the health Of the animals
suffers from contact with these floors.
In poultry houses, dry soil or sand may
be used as covering for the cement
floor, and in stables wooden floor
resting on concrete Is just as satisfac-
tory so far as the exclusion Of rats is
concerned. ..
The common practice of setting corn
cribs on posts with inverted pans at
the tops often fails to exclude rats, be-
cause the posts are not high enough to
place the lower cracks of the struc-
ture beyond reach Of the animals. As
rats are excellent jumpers, the posts
should be tall enough to prevent the
animals from obtaining foothold at
any place within three feet Of the
ground. A CT ID built in this way, how
ever, is not very satisfactory.
For a rat-proof crib well-drained
site should be chosen. The outer walls,
laid in cement. should be sunk about
twenty inches into the ground. The
space within the walls should be
grouted thoroughly with cement and
broken stone and finished with rich
concrete for floor. Upon this the
structure may be built. Even the walls
Of the crib may be concrete. Corn will
not mold in contact with them, pro-
vided there is good ventilation and the
roof Is water-tight.
However, there are cheaper ways of
excluding rats from either new or old
cOrncribs. Rats, mice and sparrows
may be kept out effectually by the use
Of either an inner or an outer covering
of galvanized-wire netting Of half-inch
mesh and heavy enough to resist the
teeth of the rats. The netting in COM
mon use in screening cellar windows Is
suitable for covering or lining cribs.
As rats can climb the netting, the en-
tire structure must be screened, or, II
sparrows are not to be excluded. the
wire netting may be carried up about
three feet from the ground, and above
this belt of sheet metal about foot
in width may be tackled to the outside
of the building.
Complete working drawings for the
practical rat-proof corncrib may be OBJ
tanned from the Office of public roads
and rural engineering Of the depart
ment.
Buildings for Storing Foodstuffs.

for man or beast should be placed only

Specific directions for packing and
shipping boxes containing garments
and hospital supplies will be given in
a future article. These boxes are to
be shipped to chapters or division sup
ply depots of the Red Cross. When
possible each box shipped should be
filed with only one kind Of garments
or supplies.
Decide upon the kind Of garment or
garments you are willing to make and
specialize on these; by combining your
self to one or two garments you can
become expert in making them and
also build up fine record of contribu-
tons. Pajamas and bed socks are q
good combination.
