NTYLES in Job Printing have
- undergone many changes in
~ the past few years. The old
style effects, $ with the big,
gaudy type and fancy borders, have
been replaced with more simple de-
SIGNS. Present-day advertisers realize
that the old, out-of-date designs have
NO connection with modern business
methods, consequently they use more
dignlfied type faces which not only
attracts the buyers attention but re-
fleets the prosperity of their business
as well.
The equipment of our Job De-
partment Is up-to-date in every re-
spect Our type faces are new, our
presses are kept clean and in good
condition; and the ink and paper we
use are just little better than seems
necessary. Let Us print your next

NEW METHOD WILL STICK"
Giving City Managers Control of Mu-
inequalities Has Worked Well, and
Idea Is Spreading.

Some forty places in our country,
ranging from Ashtabula to st. Angus
tine, are run by city managers. This
means that our everlasting American
problem of municipal government is
now being tackled successfully by call
ing into action one of the oldest of hui
man traits; that joy of achievement
that thrilled in Tubal Gains heart
when he hung up the first piece of good
iron work, banked his forging fire, and
went home to get something to eat.
Running a city is not business in the
baser sense of somehow (anyhow) max
ing money, but it is business in the
better sense of getting important things
well done, remarks Golfers.
The city manager has a free hand
and job of his own. He therefore can
buy things cheaper, hire and keep more
capable men, and help them turn out
results. The citizens Cor shareholders)
can see what he is accomplishing In
the visible condition of the public prop
erty such as streets, sewers, parks,
ETC.; can check the accomplishment
against the costs, as kept in accurate
accounts and revealed in clear and
brief reports. Then they can back him
up or get him fired as need Is. The
politicians cannot undermine the active
civic power by dividing responsibility,
creating independent offices and con-
fused jurisdictions, but must either
keep their hands off or else buck the
task of firing the head of the town.
American common sense has assert
ed itself, and the new method will
stick. AS the years go by we
will have plenty of cases of trained
men starting as managers Of tank vii
lagos and rising to run big cities with
pay and recognition prOportionate to
their work. A lot of the dynamic en-
ergy now being trained in our engineer
ing schools will be turned directly in
to making our towns better places In
which to live. That is what towns are
for!

housing of live stock, the general en-
plOyment of labor-saying farm machin-
cry and building equipment, the con-
tinuous improvement in seed and stock
and the yield of both.
In farm building, Radford's stand
ard plank frame construction has been
the greatest boon and the source Of
greatest economy of recent years. This
means of construction does away with
a part Of the cost materials by using
Pinch plank instead of heavy timbers.
A further and great economy is effect
ed in labor for the lighter timbers are
cut to pattern and placed in position
by few men; instead of being elab-
orately framed and raised to position
by machinery or large crew of men.
Plank-frame construction has stood
the test of years of use and by author
tiles is pronounced suitable for farm
buildings of any size or nature.
In this connection are given perspec-
tive view and floor plans for four build
ings to- comprise a group adequate for
the needs of large farm. Horse and
dairy barns are of the favored gambrel
roof type. The other two, hog house
and corn crib, are designed to- harmo-
nize with the two structures first men-
toned, the whole to make a complete
group of farm buildings of one general
type of architecture.
Reference to the floor plans will
show the general arrangement of these
buildings. The COW stable provides ac-
Of course, could be made longer or
shorter (within reasonable limits) as
local circumstances might warrant. In
the appointments steel stanchiOns, lit
ter carriers, ,fOul-air shafts, and two
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES siloS stand forth
prominently.
The horse barn provides room for the
storage of farm implements. Farm
ers have learned, to their cost, that it
is cheaper to take care of expensive
machinery than it is to buy new equip
ment every third or fourth year.
The arrangement of the granary,
with the elevator to carry the smaller
grains to the second-story bins, leaves
little to be desired or imagined.
Special attentionsis directed to the
hoghouse. Time was when the hog
was considered able to root for him
self. Today Piggy, particularly Mrs.
Piggy along about family time, merits
and receives the very closest attention.
The hoghouse should have a con-
crete floor The brood pens should
have also, a portable wood floor to
serve to insulate the animals from the
concrete. There is more cold in the
concrete than heat in the body OF the
animal so the animal is chilled In
stead of the floor being warmed. If
wood floors are not provided, an ex-
ira thick litter should be supplied.
The close study of the appointments
and practical values of these buildings
will place at the command of the read
er some of the very latest and very
best ideas in farm buildings.

that are built to conform to approved
methods of construction and furnished
with appointments of suitable char
acter are a necessary adjunct to sue
cessful farming, and the most ecOnomi-
cal that can be used. They will pay
many times per cent on the differ
ences between their cost and the cost
of the makeshift variety.
Progressive farmers are planning for
the future. Farm buildings are being
arranged in a way to minimize labor
and save time, and with the thought
ever in mind, to insure the comfort of
the stock and the safety of the prod
ucts stored for use or sale.
Location of farm buildings with re-
spect to each other in some respects is
a matter of individual preference, in
others it is a matter of definitely eS-
tablished rules. The principle is that
all products should flow continuously
in one direction. 1t should not be
necessary to cart hay, grain or offal
back and forth.
Farmers, country contractors, archi-'
tects and those in charge of agricul-
tural experimental work have col
laborated to produce the modern farm
building. The result is found in the
sanitary dairy. the use Of silage, better

BEST PART OF PROTECTION
Apart from Appearance, There Is Elk
ceIIent Reason Why Trees Should
Be Planted Along Highways.

"Shade trees, judiciously planted,
are not only a large addition to the
beauty of a region, but they are Of
great value in protecting the high
ways from deterioration" Such is the
opinion of the State College of For
estry at Syracuse, which has cOmplet-
ed Investigations showing that nine
tenths of the roadsides in the rural
districts of New York are entirely bare
of shade trees. The college authorities
maintain that where overhead wires
are numerous, some sort of bushes can
be planted, and where the roadway, as
distinguished from the banks at the
side, must be narrow, some small tree
will prevent any injurious effect upon
the vegetation in the adjoining fields.

| Blind" probably because the players
wore headdresses resembling hoods,
and the blind man turned over his
face, while the others used their hoods
to strike him. Some called it Harry
Racket" and "Hoodwink,"
England has other blindfold games,
among them is "Colin Maillard." Jean
Colin was brave warrior who lived in
the tenth century. He fought in bat
tie after both of his eyes were put out,
and so the game gets its name from
him. He was surnamed "Maillard,"
which means "mallet-wielder," because
that was the weapon he used.
The Germans call their blindfold
game "Blind Cow" and "Mouse in the
Dark" Italians call it Blind Fly"
while Norwegians give it the name of
"Blind Thief and "The Poles"
We add the buff" because of the
light blows usually given to the blind
man by the other players.

The demand for better results from
farming do not constitute a theory or
fad. The demand has been met and
the results are an accomplished fact,
demonstrated by the outcome of work
on farms which is being carried on I'M
der improved conditions and guided
by the collective intelligence and
knowledge of the nation.
In the United States, as in the older
countries, necessity is forcing the
adoption and use Of improved methods
TO the end that production will be in
creased and quality improved.
Our food comes from the farm and
Ga few luxuries excepted) it is pro-
duced by the farmers of this country.
The great problem of keeping the TIA
BILE supplied with a surplus of farm
products for exporD cannot be solved
in its entirety by bringing about larger
yields Of grains and tubers.
Adequate provision must be made
for conserving the harvest and that
calls for farm buildings which even the
most progressive element is willing to
concede are entitled to the character
izatiOn Modern"
1t does not greatly profit the farmer
to produce great quantity and to wit
ness it's depreciation in value while 1t
remains in his possession.
He has found, also, that it Is poor
business for him to house his live stock
in structures that breed disease, or
whose character prevents the most rap
i'd development and increase in weight.
Thorough tests have been made by
government officials and those In
charge of the agricultural colleges
which have proven on dollar and
cents basis the absolute and practical
economy of properly designed, con-
structed and appointed farm buildings.
Under the most favorable conditions,
beef cattle will take on weight at a
prescribed rate, while under the least
favorable conditions such stock barely
will hold it's own though given the
same ration. Between these two ex-
tremes there are, of course, intermedi-
ate stages.
Buildings that are adequate in size.

Decrement Unearned.

At last the unearned decrement
neglected brother of prosperous I'M
earned increment has come to it's own.
Alderman Charles E. Merriam has
dragged this too long forgotten child
of the shifting city out of, its Obscur-
ity and made of it an argument for his
zone plan. Some of the facts which
he has elected are startling. For illus
tratiOn these:
On the South side an apartment
building was erected, at a total cost
for land and construction of $14, 500.
A coal yard was later established on
the property adjoining, and the entire
value of the apartment building was
destroyed. In Wicker Park residence
was built a few years ago, at a total
investment of something like $4,000.
The establishment of a grocery store
led to depreciation of the values for
residence purposes, and the house was
recently sold at $4,000.
The same solution is to follow the ex-
ample of European cities and of New
York and Los Angeles in this country
by dividing the city into residence, in
dustrial and other types of zones. In
that way the useless destruction of
property might be reduced and, too,
which is more important, the entire
city might be developed in accordance
with an intelligent plan.-Chicago Her

seat twenty or thirty active boys to-
gether in church If we wished them
to be models of attention and dignified
behavior, but after the boys seats
were removed from the pulpit stairs
they were all turned in together in a

An Aerial Shepherd.

The little republic of Venezuela
boasts of a remarkable bird which can
be trained to tend flocks. Not only
does the yaka-milk. as it is called. take
the place of the sheep dog, but it is
frequently used to guard the home OF
its owner
When the Indians capture a yak-a-
milk they find little difficulty in train
ing it to domestic use. 1t is attach
ed to the farmyard and performs the
same duties as faithful watchdog. A
yak-a-milk soon learns to know and
obey the voice Of its master. Its usual
gait is slow and sedate. but sometimes
it will execute most eccentric move
ments. waltzing and pirouetting in a
very absurd fashion Instances are re
corded where yak-a-milks have defend
ed their charges from attacks of wild
and savage animals and even driven
them off.

For Sickness at Home

We are plunged into that horrible
condition called war. Among the many
hardships that the people will have to
bear are those relating to the care of
the sick at home, writes DR.. f. w. St..

and navy will draw heavily upon the
active members of the medical profess
sion, as we'll as upon all medical and
surgical supplies.
The price of medicines and dressings
which are now abnormally high will
continue to soar, and the doctor should
be prepared, as far as possible, to care
for those who are producing the means
of warfare as well as the food and
clothing.

son every one gather such simple rem

not needed for others to be used in
dressing wounds. Keep on hand lib
