foreign minister, in his speech today in
the chamber dealing with the Fiume in
cident. in which he offered to resign in
favor of any member who believed he
could handle the problem better.
The foreign minister had gone over
the course Of the peace negotiations,
paving particular attention to the status
of President Wilson in the peace aetiyi-
ties and pointing out that the chamber
had adopted an attitude of compromise
because, while France and Great Brit
ain had assured Italy Of their support,
they had avoided going beyond the point
in which they would have come into con
flict with President Wilson. The for
eign minister said:
Il should be traitor if | did not rec
ommend the avoidance of course which
would put Italy in open opposition to
the peace conference, which would mean
Italy's abandonment of the conference,

BOTH SIDES
CONF |DENT
OF VICTORY.
Bethlehem Steel Plant
Center Of Interest as
Week Begins.
$4,000 Men Expected to
Remain From Work
There Today.
(By The Associated Press.)

With both sides determined
to break the apparent deadlock
in the steel strike which de-
veloped at the close Of the first
week, attention today is focused
on strategic points along the in
dustrial battle front, particularly
in the Pennsylvania sector where
Walkout of approximately
$4,000 employees of the Bethle-
hem Steel company has been set
for this Monday morning.
Both capital and labor util-
lied the Sabbath in laying plans
for the second week, which is
expected by many leaders to
produce greater test of
strength than the first. En-
ployers Of labor are marshalling
their forces for a determined eff
fort to reopen many mills and
to increase the output Of those
which weathered the initial
walkout.
Directors Of the strike, on the
other hand, are making every
effort to rally more workers to
their colors and to effect a vir-
tual paralysis of the industry.
Yesterday passed quietly in
the steel centers. In Allegheny
county mass meetings called by
union organizers were held with
out disorder under supervision
Of the sheriff.
Although an atmosphere of
expectancy was seen in districts
affected by the strike, yesterday
brought no material develop
ments, leaders on both sides ap-
parently contenting themselves
with marking time in prepara-
ton for today's offensive and
counter-offensives.
Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of
Labor, who left New York last
night for Washington, predicted
victory for the strikers and add
ed that the struggle probably
would be discussed at the con-
ference to be opened at the ma
tional capital on October 6.

all practical purposes, and to make
over the interior arrangement to pro-
vide for either horses or cattle.
1t also should be understood that in
getting tine artistic roof lines there is
no waste of materials, the architect
having worked out this plan with the
idea of economy in materials foremost
in mind. The heavy arches necessary
to support the roof have been provided
with little more material than is used
in the ordinary barn.
The floor plan given is for eight
cows and a like number of horses.
However. it is an easy matter to make
this a model dairy barn by facing the
animals in and putting litter alleys
AID cutters on either side. The drive
way through the center of the building
is Of exceptional value, as it allows
the owner to drive into the barn with
feed, eliminating the necessity Of car

By the ventilator shown on the roof
Of this structure it viii be seen that
the architect has provided a system
of ventilation, without which no mod
ern barn is complete. Fresh air and
fresh water-plenty of both-are as
necessary to health and productivity
Of COWS as food. A water system car
rying water to each stall also saves
much labor.
Along either side Of the barn are
windows spaced so that the interior
of the stable floor is we'll lighted and
will get plenty of sunshine. The lat
ter is great germ killer and goes
far toward making the building sani-
tary. For this reason many dairymen
prefer to face the animals in, so that

nvari;,bIy Craze with the Eun at theiE

invariably Craze with the Eun AT tl.eir
backs.
This is an exceptionally good barn
design. 1t is so large that it costs
great amount of money, but is large
enough to supply the needs of the
average farm.
Every individual who needs build
ings, whether they be home, barn,
a granary, o business or manufactur-
ing building, is urged by the govern
ment, and all others who have the well
fare of the country Mt heart, to build
now. Recent investigations of the
cost of building materials have shown
that the increase in prices of lumber,
cement and all the other things that
go into building have increased far
less than any other commodity. AND
furthermore, it has been determined
by the United States department of
labor, after. a careful survey of con-
ditions, that there is no probability
that these costs will be decreased
within the next few years. Recon-
struction demands in Europe, coupled
with a shortage of supply, make it
seem certain that building materials
will remain at the present price level.
There is a profit-making side of
owning good farm buildings that the
government officials also are bringing
to the attention of the farmers of the
country. Never in the history of the
United States have the prices of food
stuffs been so high. Grain of all kinds
brings double the price it did only a
few years ago; live stock prices have
| increased in proportion.
While it is true that the cost OF
producing grain and of feeding and
| fattening live stock for the market
have also risen, they have not gone up
in proportion to the price obtained
for the farm products. The fact that
labor costs are high makes it all the
more essential that the farm crops and
farm stock should be housed in build
ings where the work can be performed
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1919-05-09

with the least amount of effort. Saw
ing a couple Of hours day in caring
for the live stock is q worthwhile saw
ing.
Building a modern barn at this time
is not only q patriotic thing to do. but
1t is good business. Grain and cows
are too valuable to be housed in any
building that does not keep the former
from the weather and the raids of rats
and other animals, and the latter in
healthy and productive condition.
There are more arguments for build
ing now than against it, and a careful
consideration of both will convince
the progressive business farmer that
better farm buildings mean better
crops and better live stock.
There is an added advantage in
building such barn as the one shown
here. There is the satisfaction that

attractive appearance, this barn is de-
signed so that its interior arrangement
will combine all the features and allow
for all the equipment that have been
found to be necessary ia the proper
care of live stock and to do the work
required to care for the animals.
The building is 80 by 40 feet, of
wood construction, set on concrete
foundation. The stable floor is also of
concrete, which permits of driveway
and gutter, the latter being one OF the
prime necessities in keeping the live
stock housed In a clean building sa4
The floor plan given shows o7Fe use
of the space in the barn. This ar
rangement, however, may be changed
to suit the needs of the owner, what
ever they may be. 1t is equally pos
sible, OF course, to increase the length
Of the barn. the width being ample for
