become an accepted practice in barn
planning.
Through the center Of the barn runs
the feed alley, the hangers being on
either side, Contrast this with the old
system Of having to carry feed around

against the wall. On either side Of
the barn is litter alley, usually pro-
vided with a carrier running on an
overhead track. While this barn is
only 80 by 40 feet the same plan can

In the floor plan that accompanies
the perspective of the barn it will
be noticed that the foul air hueS are
placed in the walls and lead to the
ventilator on the ridge. These fues
follow the walls and roof, thus making
the NOW space clear of distractions.
Hanging the barn doors has engaged
the attention of the manufacturers Of
barn equipment during the last few
years and nowadays they are so hung
that they open as easily as the door
in a home. An enclosed track. wealth

and ball-bearing wheels follow it.
Care in Planning Necessary.
Competent builders in every COM
munity now are familiar with modern
barn construction. They know how
the barn should be built so that the
greatest profit may be made from the
live stock it houses. The prospective
barn builder should exercise as much
care in planning this building as he
would in erecting home, for on the
plan depends whether or not he con-
ducts his live stock business in the
most efficient way.

Wednesday night such enthusiasm was
displayed as augurs much progress for

The meeting and smoker were

Derhaps the lack of interest the young
men have shown in the past towards
the Chamber might be occasioned by
old and unhealed sores. The meeting
last night discovered that there were
one or two sores. but they were healed
over at this time and the owners of
the scars were ready to paint out the
marks and take fresh start.

Alfonso at once proceeded to the mill

Winning at Baldwin Step

In one respect Washburn is facing
football season Saturday. 1t is not
that the Baker team is so strong, nor
that the Baldwinites have the edge on
the Ichabods.
1t is that Washburn watch herself
closely lest she go into a slump.
The fact that the Blue warriors
fought the hard hitting backs and
forwards of Kansas to a standstill last
week is no reason for these same war
riors to get into their heads that they
are unbeatable. The present head
gears in use at the college must con-
tinue to fit the heads of Washburn
players in exactly the same. degree as
the fit before the contest with Kansas
A team which comes out of a big game
with a steel worthy-foeman having no
advantage is sometimes prone to get
the idea that it has performed its sea-
sons work and that henceforth and
forever 1t is unbeatable.
Cannot Afford to Lose.
This is not the case. 1t is often
beatable-and is often beaten. And
, that by a team which in the ordinary
course of circumstances should have
Leen sent down to defeat.
Washburn cannot afford to lose the
Baker game, any more than 1t could
afford to lose the Kansas game. Be-
sides the Baker game has bearing on
Ithe Kansas conference title and in that
race the Kansas game did not count.
So far as the relative strength OF
the Ichabod and the Baker elevens Is
concerned, the Blue has all the best

Washington, Oct. S.-Indications
that railroad employees will insist upon
the granting of their demands for in
creased wages, time and a half over
time, the eight-hour day and changes
in working conditions before the rail-
roads Of the country are turned back
by the government to private control
is contained in testimony of Timothy
Shea, chief of the Firemen's Brother
hood. before the railroad administra-
tion's board of railway and working
conditions.
Mr.. Shea told the board during its
hearing of the firemen's demands. ac-
cording to the testimony published
today. THAI to members of his brother
hood was due an increase in wages,
which. he said, 'if 1 cannot get out
of this conference it may be neces-
sary to use other means, but am
going to get it,
Means General Increase.
AlthO Mr.. Shea appeared before the
board only in behalf of the firemen,
1t Is generally considered that to in
crease the wages of the firemen would
necessitate a similar increase to all
railroad workers and any action taken
by the firemen to enforcing their
wage demands would INVOLVE similar
action by the other brotherhoods.
When Mr.. Shea told the board he
