Gothic roof barns-those with curved
roofs in the form of a pointed arch
are getting to be quite common. There
are a few leaders among the farmers
in every community who occupy a con-
spicuous position and who favor the
unique or distinctive type of farm
building for that reason. These like
the gothic roof barn. Even if the cost
should be a trlfe more, they gladly
stand 1t because Of the distinction
which a big barn of this type gives a
farmstead.
The L-shaped barn with a gothic
roof is not SO common. Barn builders
have worked out a standard solution
to the roof-framlng problem Of the
gothic barn and it seldom gives trou-
BILE any more; but when the contractor

"The obligation of every man, woman
and child out of uniform to help feed
himself will be greater in 1918 than in
1917. Therefore the home gardening
and canning activities of last year must
be repeated"
This Is the message of the United
States Department Of Agriculture to
every family. Those who cannot pro-
duce, can conserve and save food.
There must be no backsliding among
experienced gardeners; they must re-
peat their contribution of food. Alb
n of novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
in 1917 from capitalizing their increas-
ed knowledge and skill. Those with
experience must make every seed count
Ito get satisfactory returns from their
work with hoe, rake and watering can.
There must be no Stacking Off. Gar
dening Is everybody's business, but In
1918 everyone must attend to that bust
ness.
And nov q word of caution. Don't
try to raise more than you can use.
And water Systematically all spring
and summer. A few square yards
well titled will yield more than a half
acre allowed to run to weeds.
The department advises strongly
against effort by amateur gardeners to
produce truck crops for sale. Such en-
terprises commonly prove unwise, bur
dcnsome to all concerned, and not in
frequently financially Improbable.
Much precious seed and fertilizer
20 say nothing of time and labor-were
wasted last year in such undertakings.
The governments home gardening spe-
cialists believe that best results will be
atslined If each family attempts to
raise only enough vegetables to supply
its own table and to afford the surplus

that they have a means of dlscrimina-
ton whereby they feel that the songs
of long ago are better than the same
type of songs'made today. Fifty years
from now people may cast the same
halo over the songs of today that the
old folks Of today cast over "Allce,
Where Art Thou" "Juanita" and "Ben
Bolt"
What Is it then that makes the old
songs hallowed? 1t Is It's wonderful
power of cOnjuring up memories-the
beautiful memories of the dear, dear
past. When grandma takes off her
glasses and quietly asks you to sing
one Of her old favorites, hunt 1t up at
nee and let her have it over and over
again. 1t is the magic talisman which
will open the riches of her memory to
her. As you sing

the method of cultivation. about the
time Of the last killing frost in spring.
The seed should be sOwn rather thick

are about 3 inches apart in the rows.
The parsnip requires very rich soil for
It's best development. The roots are
usually left in the ground during the

harvested in the autumn, packed in
moist sand and stored in pits or root

The gardener who has provided for
the immediate needs Of his family and
its canning and drying requirements
therefore should devote attention to
fall crops of root vegetables such as
potatoes, beets, late turnlps, carrots
and parsnlps, which can be stored a s

thought and energy during the
three weeks dedicated to the
fourth Liberty Loan should be
employed in arousing in her own
household and the households of
her neighbors an eagerness to

to lend it quickly.
Thus the fourth Liberty Loan

Pouring out money as if it
didn't cost anything that is our
record in the war thus far. Our
flrst year cost US billions more
than the first year of any other
nation. And now we are asked
to raise in three weeks the lar
gest loan ever subscribed by the
people of any nation.
We are running this war in
the most extravagent fashion;
and there is not a man, woman
or child in America who wants it
conducted in any other way.
Why? Because we value speed
more than money, and speed is
always extravagant.
Speed means more guns
brought more quickly into play,
and more ammunition to feed
them. Speed means ships built
at high cost because of overtime
wages; it means airplane planes
discarded as fast as new improv-
ments come along. 1t means all
all this-and we bear the cost of
it gladly, without regret. For

"The more it will save you, the
more it will serve you. So, in meas

from standpoint of saving service,
you can cofidently judge the worth of
a car by it's reputation and the repu

"a good substantial automobile is
a profitable investment at any time,
but more especially at this time,
when SO many duties incident to bust
ness are crowded into very hour of
the day. The curtailment of automo-
bile manufacturing has caused
scarcity of desirable and reputable
motor cars. Therefore, when select
ing a car, you sOuld satisfy yourself
thoroughly beforehand that it was
