cause of the supremacy of the law.
The heart of the people has proven
again sound and true. They have justi-
fed those who trusted them, they have
justified America.
The attempt to appeal to class prejL-
dice has failed. The men of Massa-
chusetts are not labor men, or police
men. or union men, or poor men. or rich
men, or any other class of men first.
they are Americans first. The wage ear<-~
ers have shown by their votes that they
resent trying to use them for private
interests. They are for the government.
American institutions are safe in their
hands
Some of those who have posed as their
leaders and argued that the wage earners
were patriotic because those leaders told
them to be. may well now inquire whether
the case did not stand the other way
about. 1t begins to look as IL those who
attempt to lead the wage earners must
first show that they themselves are
patriotic If they are to have any following.
Three words tell the result-Massa-
chusetts is American. The election will
be a welcome demonstration to the ma
ton and to people everywhere who be-
lieve that liberty can only be secured by
obedience to law"

director-general of railroads. to-day in
which he said Iowa officials will endeavor
to find means to obtain coal unless some
of that confscated by railroads is re-

The message read:
Il have great respect for your judg-
ment and fairness, but I believe that
you do not understand the true situation
in Iowa. This emergency compels me to
speak plainly. I am authorized by the
Governor to say that unless quick action
can be taken in releasing cqsd' which in
our Judgment is necessary we shall en-
deavor to find some means to obtain the
property belonging to the citizens of this
State. We do not believe there is any
law in peace times that will deprive the
citizens of the State of Iowa of heat,
water, health and happiness in order
that the railroad administration may be
allowed TO run luxurious California trains

WOMEN WILL RECEIVE
MANY VICTORY LOAN MEDAL S
As in Former Liberty Loans, Women
OF District Will Do Great Work in
"Carryino On" to Success the
Victory Liberty Loan.

Ten thousand medals made from
captured German cannon are to be
distributed to women Victory Loan
workers throughout the states Of Ili-
nois, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana, and
Wisconsin at the close of the coming
campaign.
The United States treasury depart
ment has taken this means of show
ing its appreciation Of the work done
by thousands Of volunteer workers in
Liberty Loan drives. The medals are
to be made from German cannon cap
tured by American troops at Chateau
Thierry. These cannon have been
melted, and the metal rolled into
sheets, from which the medals are
made.
This badge will be the first of it's
kind to be distributed in the United
States since the war. It will be about
the size Of half dollar and will
contain on one side a reproduction of
the United States treasury building,
with the words, "Victory Liberty
Loan" and on the other side the GER
tifcation of the work done in the Vic.
tory Loan campaign with a blank
space in which the name of the re-
cipient will be engraved.
Women all over the country have
Shouldered a large share of the work
in preceding loan campaigns, and the
roll of honor undoubtedly will be just
as large in the coming Victory Loan.
In the last drive more than $3,OOO,OO0
was subscribed in amounts of 81, 900 or
less, much Of which the women's COM
mittees were responsible for.
Victory Liberty Loan workers will
include many prominent women from
this as we'll as from other districts.

been appointed state chairman for
Michigan. Other state chairmen work

Mrs. Howard T. Wilson, chairman for

These are only few of the many
women who will lay aside social and

service during the Victory Liberty
Loan campaign, and who will be among
the thousands Of recipients of the

GREATEST OF ALL ASSETS
Worlds Vast Store Of Gathered knowI-
edge Has Not Been Destroyed
by the War.

At the one hundred and sixty-fifth
session of the Royal Society of Arts
the chairman of the council, Mr.. Alan
A. Campbell Swinton, F. r. S., in an
address on Science and the Future"
said that undoubtedly the war had
been responsible for an enormous
amount of destruction of capital, but
when those losses were estimated it
was not usually borne in mind that
capital did not merely consist of gold
and silver, bricks and mortar, furni-
ture and fitments, or even of railways
steamships and machinery, but that
the main capital of the modern world
consisted Of Scientific knowledge. The
reconstruction of the material things
now temporarily destroyed would
take only a very small fraction Of the
labor and time expended when men
learned how to bring those things
about. When we compiled estimates
of losses due to the war we must not
forget that our greatest asset, the vast
store of knowledge that had been
gathered together, was still intact. In

feed, etc. The gate at the outer end
Oh the scales swings out and joins d
small gate at the loading chute, max
ing it handy to do the loading.
The sleeping pens, granary and corn
crib are all fioored with hollow tile
with two inches of concrete over them.
The corn crib and granary have stud
ding sockets set in the concrete on top
of the wall. The stills in the hog house
are bolted down TO the top of the foun-
dalton wall. There is a Stat door be-
tween the corn crib and granary, so as
to make it tight when the granary is
full of small grain.
The roof is shingled with compost
ton shingles and the siding is fir drop
siding. Everything is of the best ma
terials and is built in the best possible
way. All the foundation walls are re-
inferced
The floor Of the hog house slopes to
the center, so as to drain into the sew
er which runs out under the feeding
platform. The feeding platform slopes
to the outside and also at one end.
The feed trough also slopes and is
fitted with a drain at one end.
All Fittings Are Modern.
The fittings Of the house are mod
EN- in every respect. One of these is
a waterer that will not freeze. Con-
crete floors and feeding troughs make
it easy to keep the building clean, and
cleanliness has been found to he a
prime factor in the successful produc-
ton Of hogs.
This hog house is only one Of the
buildings that will be erected on the
farms this year that contains many
up-to-date features in construction and
equipment.
There is a growing demand among
the farmers for these modern build
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-05-01

farm buildings. One of the things
that the modern idea Of farm efficiency
demands is that the hogs be housed in
a building that can be kept clean and
is so arranged that the swine can be
cared for with the least amount Of eff
fort.
1t may be trite to say it, but hogs
are valuable property these days. A
little more money spent on the hog
house means fatter and healthier ami
mails, and each additional pound is
worth real money about the time snow
flies and the hogs are marketed.
Herewith is shown a modern swine
establishment, in which are embodied
a corncrib, granary, feeding platform
and scale house. The building is what
is known as the saw-tooth hog house.
While the floor plan shows the ar
rangement of these features, it might
be explained a little more fully by a
description of it.
Room for Eighteen Sows.
The hog house proper was laid out
to accommodate eighteen sows; two
stalls in one end were used to provide
plenty of room around the water place
and another stall in the other end for
the scale box and small store room !;
so, as it is arranged now it contains
fifteen disable stalls.
The ventilation is taken care of by
two combination smoke stacks and
ventilators in the roof and Stat ven
tilator built in the end above the door
This ventilator is fitted with a door
on the inside so that it can be closed
tight when necessary. All the gates
between the stalls are removable, so
that one or more pens can be thrown
together.
The feeding platform also can be
used as outside yards by putting in
the cross gates. Each six feet there is

an angle iron bolted to the side of the
house, which holds one end of by 4,
the other end being fastened to the
fence on the outside of the platform.
The by acts as brace to hold the
fence rigid and also serves as a means
of fastening the top of the gates. The
lower part of the gate is held in place
by 2 by braces on the gates dropping
into holes made to fit them in the con-
crete platform. In order to remove
the gates it is only necessary to loosen
two bolts and lift them out.
Scales Under Cover.
The scales are under cover in the
passageway between the hog house and
the granary and are fitted with a
swinging gate at each end, one of them
swinging inside so as not to interfere
with the sliding door which closes the
passageway up tight. This passage
way is all under coyar and makes a
