This part of the barn Is entirely closed

Is a convenience to be able to do all
the work under one roof, but for sani-

Another point to be considered in
building a barn is to arrange a con-
venient way for taking out the ma.

best and most economical way to ham
die manure is to take 1t directly from
tarn to field. For this work the most
convenient way is to drive right
through the barn with the manure
spreader. Little carriers run on
tracks or cables are an improvement
over wheeling the litter out on a
wheelbarrow, but one can drive

LINCOLN'S SURVIVING SON

Robert Todd Lincoln, the only
surviving son of President Abraham
Lincoln, who recently celebrated his
seVenty-fifth birthday anniversary,
now makes his home in Washington.
Robert 7. Lincoln was the eldest
son OF the president. His early
schooling was received at an academy
In Springfield, Ill. By the time he hal
attained college age his father was en-
abled to send him to the University
of Illinois. His graduation from that
institution was followed by term at
Exeter academy after which he EN-.
tered Harvard university, where he
was a student during the greater part
of the Civil war period.
Completing his course at Harvard
in 1864, young Lincoln applied for adj
mission to the military service and was
commissioned captain, serving on the
staff Of General Grant throughout the
final campaign of the war.

Washington.-Possibly the people
who discuss and publish articles
about the early ending of the war do
moi know that they are assisting in a
sort of German propaganda. To talk
about ending the war now or seeing
the end Immediately Is not to the
Lest interests of the government. Very
likely earnest people who want the
Germans well trounced are among
those who talk an early ending Of the
war. Possibly they are NOT pacifists.

think that the successes that have been
won on the western front and the col

the same time, but it was April, 1855,
before the war ended. Between the
victories of Vicksburg and Gettysburg
and the final end there were the great
battles of Chickamauga and Nashville,
and Sherman's march TO the sea, also
the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold

Those who read the story Of those

One of the most gratifying things in
connection with the American army
navy and marines abroad Is the well
come extended to them by the peoples
OF all the allied nations. The cable
dispatches show that American troops
have been received with honor and ac-
claim, but it is the private letters from
individual officers and men Of the va
rious branches of the service which
really show the kind of reception
that has been given the American
troops, no matter in what country they
have arrived.
In Great Britain, Belgium, France
and Italy, the people have done their
utmost TO welcome the American sol
dIers and show the appreciation they
have that America has Joined In the
great war And where the troops min
gle with the allies on the front they
find such a comradeship as will make
for better feeling In all the years to
come. 1t is particularly true of the
manner In which the American officers
and sailors have been treated by the
British officers and sailors of the va
rlous fleets. It never seemed possible
that allied fleets could be controlled
with such harmony as has existed since
the Americans became part of the
grand fleet In the North Sea, In addl-
ton to having submarine chasers all
around the British Isles and the French
coast. This harmony In regard to the
higher officials has permeated the
ranks and American bluejackets and
marines have found the British sail
ors men of the right sort. The letters
o. officers and men are filled with
praise for the manner In which Ameri-
cans have been treated in oil parts Of
the world.

Politicians disputed for more than
thirty years over the subject Of
building up a merchant marine for
the United States. Various attempts
were made to create merchant
marine by subsidy, but the subsidies
were never large enough TO cause
any Roadway to be made. Four ships,
two built in foreign yards and adj
mitted to American registry, and two
built in American yards, were about
the only addition to the American
merchant marine as a result Of the
subsidy. Then there was talk about
changing our navigation laws, but that
never amounted to anything. But this
war with Germany is going to create
a merchant marine. We have beaten
the subsidy plan all to pieces. The
government is building its own ships
and manning them and they will be
ready for peaceable commerce after
the war ends. Perhaps the government
won't continue In the ocean carrying
trade. but there ought to be common
sense enough In the management OF
governmental affairs to secure an or
ganlzatlon after the war which will
use the vast shipping tonnage that has
been constructed and make use Of the
men who have learned the sea, so that
the United States will take Its right
full place among the nations Of the
world in regard to carrying ocean traf-
fic.

We have to get all the good out of
this war we can and we must look
forward to making use Of some Of the
lessons which we have learned as a re-
suit of the war; One is to be less
wasteful in all things. 1t has been
pointed out that there is enough fuel
oil wasted In its use by people to sup
ply the needs Of the government, In
Guiding the navy, at the present time.
Strange as 1t may seem, government
officials must go through the country
and teach people how not to
waste oil. This waste before the
var extended to nearly everything.
People have learned to save and found
out that they have not injured them
selves thereby. The lessons Of saw
ing and thrift and stopping waste
ought to remain with the people.

which is more than two years distant.
As a general thing we hear 1t stated
that Roosevelt seems to be about the
only man In sight for the Republican
nomination, although Senator Harding
Of Ohio comes in for a frequent sec
ond mention. or course II is quite
well understood that Senator Weeks Of
Massachusetts, and Senator Watson of
Indiana are both In the race and are
likely to have considerable follow
ing when the convention meets unless
there should be a general concentra-
ton upon some one candidate like
Colonel Roosevelt. II is also said that
In case Charles S. Whitman is elected
governor OF New York for third
time he will be very formidable fig
ure In the next PRESIDENTIAL race. It
might be sald that the Democrats dis
cuss only one man, but that Is hardly
true, for they discuss other possibili-
ties with an ''if." Generally the Dem
ocrats say that eff President Wilson is
not candidate to succeed HIMSELF
then Secretary McAdoo is likely to be
the Democratic choice. There is scarce
~ any divergence of opinion among
Democrats on that line.
Why is II that the Teutonic pow
ers always start OF with a lie In
every alleged peace move that they
have madei Evidently the answer
Is that they still think they can
deceive the nations Of the world by
the same lying diplomatic tricks that
they have perpetrated for such long
period. For instance, one Of the re
