a1d sanitary and comfortable for your
cattle. If you cannot get the first-cost
idea out of your mind, remember these
things. You have perhaps borrowed
some of the money for your barn from
the bank. You must pay them back
and make more besides for yourself.
If you include sanitary and convenient
things in your design you can pay the
bank quicker and make larger profits
for yourself.
The dairy barn, of which a ground
plan and perspective view are here
shown, will accommodate 80 cows. The
silo is 13 feet in diameter and will be
found to have sufficient capacity for
silage to accommodate all the cattle.
AS shown In this view, the silo is
built of wood. Hollow tile, concrete
blocks, or REINFORCED concrete, how
ever, can be used equally as well. With
the idea of making it possible to go
quickly from n part of the barn
to another sliding doors have been put
in ut ali four corners and in the oppo-
site end from the silo there is n door in
the middle besides those on either side
of this end.
The ground floor Is Of concrete,
which always makes a barn as SAM
tary as it possibly can be. 1t has a
gambrel roof, which does away with
the rafters and other members Of a
truss which take up much of the
space in the loft of q barn.
The feed alley is conveniently To-
Gated in the middle of the barn. This
permits Of easily distributing the sill
age to the hangers on either side Of
the alley. Concrete cutters are built
in the floor in back Of the COW stalls
On either side of the barn. In back
Of these cutters are the manure
carrier tracks, conveniently located SO
that the refuse in the cutters can be
directly picked up and carried out.
The dimensions of the cow stalls
can be made according to the ideas Of
the builder. In some places it is us
tomary to build all of the stalls 3
feet CO inches wide, and have 5
feet between the gutter and the

 London. July S0.- Britain's part in the past three years of war may be told in three words:
 Procrastination. preparation, pro gress.
 In the first year, besides doing very many things she should not have done. she left undone most of the things she should have done.
 It was not until the second year was well under way that the peo- pie of Britain woke up. Having fin ally sensed that it was a mans sized war they began to prepare almost too late. but with a thor oughness that went far to overcome the effects of their former dilatori- ness.
 With her industries at last or ganized on a world-war basis, Brit ain started supplying her troops with proper quantities of the right sort of guns and shells, the lack Of which had already caused near disaster on the western front. It took her nearly two years to learn that the voluntary system of re- cruiting was failure, and then she adopted conscripticn. With characteristic lack of imagination she took no thought of the econom- ic tomorrow. Unappreciating the

FOR HANDLING
NATIONS FOOD.
Regulations Promulgated BY President to
Take Effsst at Once. Licensing
Of Handlers.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Regulations
for the handling of the nations food
promulgated by President Wilson
and to take effect Immediately were
announced tonight by the United
States food administration. They
govern the licensing of all food han
dlers except small retailers and con-
troll the small retailers indirectly.
The chief objects of the regula-
tons are: To limit the prices charg-
ed by every licensee to a reasona-
BILE amount over expenses and for
bid speculative profits from a rising
market.
To keep all food commodities NOV
ing to the consumer in as direct a
line and with as little delay as prac-
ticable.
To limit as far as practicable con-
tracts for future delivery and deal
ings in future contracts.
Under the food control act the
president has broad powers to deal
with individual cases. This power
will be freely exercised to accom-
fish the three purposes named. If
every licensee will make those pur-
poses the cardinal purpose of his
business and obey the law and the
regulations he will be free from in
terferance by the government. Vio-
lation is cause for revoking any IL
cense as we'll as subject the offend
er to criminal penalties, may be pre-
scribed.
The elimination of excess prices
charged small retailers who are not
to license will be helped by
a rule forbidding license and to sell
foods to any person who is taking
profits or speculations.

and dedicated at the Matheny grave

A large crowd was in attendance,
and the services were in charge of
State Manager Simmons, of Hum
boldt. Assisting him in the ritual
istic work were Sovereigns House,
Wright and Darnell. An excellent
quartette with Prof. John Jolley as
leader, rendered some beautiful
songs, and Mr.. Simmons paid the
memory of this noble boy magnifi-
cent tribute, calling the attention of
all young men within the sound of
his voice to the good name Curtis
bore among his fellows. Many
friends of the deceased and his fam
lily attended from town.
