Surely it is worth while to design
every detail correctly. The appear.
ance of the buildings in which are our
homes or our places of business Is .
most important detail in the environ.
ment which makes our lives happy or
unhappy. The pocketbook has a word
to say. also. When time comes to seh
or to rent, how the building looks, not
how much it costs, determines its value
on the market. On building, as IN AN
else, be sure you are right, then 20

TO PUT FARMERS
IN SECOND CLASS
Plan of President Would Mean
That Their Call WOULD
Be Deferred.
WOULD Be FURLOUCHEO
Those In Service To Go Home During
Planting and Harvest Seasons
MAY Not Be
Called.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 2.-According tC
a letter received by Governor Copper
from President Wilson it is the hope
and expectation Of the administration
that farmers may be given deferred
classification in the draft and that
furloughs may be granted at plant
ing and harvest seasons to those al
ready in service.
President Wilson wrote:
Under the new selective service
regulations under which the present
classification OF registrants is pro
crossing, in very specific terms, it is
provided that skilled farm laborers
essential to the continued and undi'
unfinished operations Of farms shall be
deferred in Glass II. 1t is our pres
ent hope and belief that We shall
be able TO raise all the forces in i'm:
mediate prospect without invading
any deferred class and therefore We
can assume, I think, that future drafts
will not interfere with our supply
of skilled farm labor.
81 also have very prominently in
mind the advisability of furloughing
selected men during planting and
time and to this end the
War department has asked of Con.
g:ess authority to grant such fur.
loushs without pay, whenever, in the
opinion of the Secretary of War, the
military situation iustifies such a
step. OF course, it is impossible to
say in advance what the changing
conditions Of warfare may impose
upon us, but I can assure you that If
this authority is granted by Congress,
we shall permit these furloughs
whenever it is possible to do so.
y take it that what have said is
precisely responsive to what you
have in mind and hope and believe
the various selection boards COM
posed of men Of your choice will
exercise the authority to defer skilled
farm labor in such a way as to meet
the situation you represent In the
fallest way it could be met under the
present circumstances"

SPANISH SHIPS HELD
U. S. Adopts Reta|iatory' Meas

Alleged That Spain Has Interfered
With Allies Goods Cross
ing Into France.

Washington, Feb. 2-As all answer
of the United States and the Allies to
SPANS interference with the ship
ment of goods across her border into
France, quick retaliatory measures
were forecast here.
In fact, certain Spanish ships now
in American ports ready to sail are
teing held up, pending clearing of
the situation, although the War
Trade board in a formal statement
denied that vessels under the Span
ish flag generally were being kept in
port.
The American governments is par
ticularly concerned in the situation
because of large orders placed in
Spain by General Pershing for sup
plies for the American arp.y. It holds
TOO, the chief weapon 70 Horce lift
ing of an embargo placed by Spain,
since Spain draws heavily on the
United States for food stuffs.
German Influence interferes.
Recently when General Pershing
was authorized to buy 100000 blank
cts in Spain for American troops and
attempted to buy other merchandise,
some influence, suspected of being
German, interviewed. Other incidents
convince the government here of Ger
man activity. Measures similar to
those recently adopted toward other
European neutrals are in preparation.
A considerable element in the
Spanish government, it is we'll known,
is German in it's leanings and Off
Gals in Washington express no hest
tation in intimating that this element
is, in a large measure, responsible
for the present trouble. The Off
ciaI reason given for the blocking
of General Persiling's order, is said
to be that the Spanish railroad sys-
tenn has broken down and that it is
impossible to handle gods destined
for France.

A heavy, lowlying mist aided the
Germans. Taking advantage of it.,
the enemy suddenly put up an Intense
barrage fire over small salient and

The German rain of high explosives
destroyed the communication wire by
which the listening post and salient
might have summoned help. The mist
effectively hid rockets which the Am

to fight without aid of a counter bar
rage from their own guns because of
this lack of communication.

Quickly with a circular motion. The
LIQUID will rotate and In leaving the
opening will permit air to enter con-
tinuously, causing the liquid to run
out rapidly and without Intermittent
gurgling sounds.
If the opening Of the container Is at
one side It is best to hold the contain
err so that the opening is at the high
est point Of the end, rather than al
the bottom. The air may thus enter
and permit continuous flow until the
