Most farmers do not care 10 allow
the money they spend in farm ma.
chinery to be wasted by the rapid dete-
riOration of this machinery from eX-
posure to the elements. Quite often
II is possible TO give up portion OF
one of the barns to the implement
storage space. The combined horse
barn and implement shed is a common
and useful structure. There are adj
yantages in building an entirely sep
arate structure for housing the farm
implements. AS a rule there are
enough duties to be performed in con-
nectiOn with the maintenance of farm
machinery to warrant the cOnstruc-
tiOn of separate building. A farm
workshop is a necessary thing and the
implement shed furnishes an excellent
location for 1t.
The type Of structure will depend
to certain extent upon the farm up
on which it is located, but there are a
few things which should be included
in such a structure, no matter what its
surroundings. The floor construction
and the arrangement and size of doors
should be given considerable attention.
The design illustrated here suggests a
structure which is well adapted to the
purpose and the cost of its erection
is not excessive.
1t is 24 feet in width by so feet in
length. There is a 16-fOot door in each
end for the easy entrance of the larger
farm implements, and there is small

NO SYMPATHY FOR WIFE BEATER
pewski to Six Months in the
County Jail

Wife heaters looking for sympathy
need not apply to the municipal judge
of Kenosha county. Judge Randall
made this very clear on Tuesday after
noon when he sentenced Jacob Macie-
iewski to a Term of six months at hard
labor in the county jail. The man had
been charged with cruel assault on
his wife and when the court heard the
evidence In the case he left no door open
for the man to escape penal servitude.
He refused to name any amount of fine
that the man could pay but insisted
that he go to work at the jail for six
months. The man will be employed
somewhere under the direction of the
sheriff and the money he earns will be
used for the support of the wronged
wife.

NO TRACE OF CAR IS FOUND
Market Man Who Saw Two Young Men
Drive Away With Automobile Insists
They Acted "Just Like They
Owned" the Automobile.


The police department and the sheriff
had busy time of it Tuesday after
noon and Tuesday night seeking to
solve the mystery of the theft of a
new Chandler automobile from Rowland
avenue and Park street. The automo-
bile which belonged to Vito Braille and
which was operated as a jitney under
the management Of H. Bruno, was
valued at more than thousand dollars
and there was on it considerable
chattel mortgage. Bruno had driven
the automobile UP in front Of barber
shop at the corner in question and had
gone in to get shaved. He did not hear
any one start the automobile while he
was in the shop, but when he came
out meat market man in the
neighborhood declared that he had
seen two young men come and take
possession Of the car.
"They acted just like they owned
it, y said the market man. "They did
not appear to be nervous or excited or
anything of the kind aud in the most
natural manner in the world they
got into the ear and slammed the
door and drove away They went
north along Howland avenueD
Some time after the car had been
stolen Bruno notified the police depart
ment. Tt seems that he believed that
the car had been taken as a joke an,s
that it would be brought back in a
short time, but as the minutes sped
along and the car failed to put in an
appearance he hurried to the police and
told his story. Every available man
from the Office of the police department
and the sheriff were sent out to look
for the car. While it was declared that
the men who took it went north on
Rowland avenue, later in the day it
was learned that the car had been seen
going west at the Mungen Tavern on
the Geneva Road. Police Officer Thad
Logan covered the road all the way
from Kenosha to Chicago Tuesday IF
ternoon and evening, bu5 found no one
who had seen the car Chief O'Hare
took up The chase himself and made a
visit to every lake resort in the county
without getting any results.
The two men who showed such
familiarity with the automobile are de
scribed as the customary flong and
short = men. Both wore straw hats
and this is about the extent of the
information furnished the police.
Braille, the owner of the car, had
left home at three O'Clock Tuesday
morning and he was not advised
of the theft of the car until he re-
turned late in the day.

According to advices from Washing

Philip, asking that Wisconsin guards
men be allowed to train at Camp Doug
las, and the men will accordingly be fit
ted for service at Camp Macarthur,
Waco, Texas.
Secretary of War Baker informed

flict with the established policy to
grant this request as the department
has decided to train northern troap
in southern states.

of the Wisconsin congressional delega-
tion, asking them to assist in his plan
to train Wisconsin men at home. The
matter was taken up at some length
in Washington, where the Wisconsin
men were informed that Waco is one
Of the best possible training grounds,

the men could be out of doors practi-
cally the year round.
Adjt. Gen. Orlando Holway left Mad
ison on Tuesday for Chicago to confer
with Gen. Barry in command of the
central department of the United States
army, regarding the mobilization of the
Wisconsin National guard, and the Sc
lection of mobilization camp. Before
leaving Madison, Gen. Holway said that
he expected that the Wisconsin military
reservation at Camp Douglas would be
selected as the mobilization camp for
the Wisconsin troops. He said he be-
lieved he could convince Gen. Barry
that it was the best camp for the Wis
consin men. IF Camp Douglas is select
ed as the mobilization camp, the Wis
consin troops will begin to move to it
on Saturday. The first organization
that will go into camp will be the First
cavalry, which will be followed in turn
by the First infantry, Second infantry
and the new Organizations Of the guard.
While in Chicago, Gen. Holwey will
take up a number of questions of mill
tary administration with Gen. Barry.
Some of these questions pertain to sup
plies and equipment for the Wisconsin
troops. 1t is expected that the tents,
blankets and clothing shipped by ex-
