Iowan Builds Three
Story Hog House

One of the most compact pork
plants In Iowa belongs to Hans Mark
of shelby county. well known farmer
and breeder.
Mr.. Mark has a thres-story hog
house commonly known as "bank"
building. Ns
The basement. or ground floor is
used as shelter room for stock hogs
and feeders and in the early spring
rs an exercise pen for the early lit.
tiers. The floor is well drained and
never gives trouble owing TO damp
ness. Ventilation Is takon care OF by
adequate windows and doors.
The second story is accessible from
the ground floor by long chute,
cieated TO prevent the hogs from slip
ping. There are two of these chutes,
one inside the building and one out.
The inside chute is used in stormy
weather.
The second floor is divided in pens
for sixteen brood sows, the partitions
all being removable. The floor Is then
available for a summer and fall feed
ing floor. II Is easily cleaned and
always dry.
An eight-foot space at one end OF
the house is reserved for a feed cooker
and a. place for mixing the feeds.
This has tendency to make the
days chores much lighter. Feed and
water at hand. the hard work of
feeding is over before the chores are
started.
Bedding is taken care of in the
loft in the winter season and a part
OF this overhead space is used for
storing the pen partitions and eS-
ira troughs during the feeding time.
Prof. John Glass, specialist in
agricultural engineering. Iowa state
college. who visited this plant some
time ago, says of 1t: MIR. Mark had
quite a problem before him when he
first started to build this hog house
in the location where he knew 1t
should be-
"The thing that troubled him the
most was the steep grade of the
land. True, the lots would be drained
fine, there being no chance for mud
holes TO develop. But to make use
of all the masonry foundation that
was necessary to level things up, that
was the question.
HE finally built what we COM
monty call a bank building. These
are not altogether uncommon in fowa
for barns, cattle sheds and similar
buildings, but for housing hogs most
Of US would have been just a little
surprised II it had worked out just as
We had intended.
The building as it stands, how
ever, and it has had several seasons
of use. has proved itself beyond
question"

Great Britain lettering.
We do not like to disclose Great
Britain's plight" the Banker continued
But here are the conditions:
Before the war Great Britain had
$50. 900 100000 invested thruout the
world. This has been reduced 70 per
cent by forced sales, shrinkage, de-
struction and other causes, leaving
$1,000 900. 900. The income Of Great
Britain last year was 10000, 600 a day
less than her national expenditures
and it Is estimated the discrepancy Is
greater today. To maintain the penny
loaf costs the British government
100000 a week and this expense is
steadily increasing. Her interest
charges are s1,s40, 100000 against a
pre-war interest charge of s122.S0e 900.
The condition of France is much
worse because France has not at
tempted to pay any appreciaole part
Of its war debt by taxation. 1t ex-
pected to pay the debt out Of big war
indemnities from Germany. which
have disappeared into thin vapor, and
thru recovery Of loans to Russia
which no one now would dare consider
assets.
ItaIy's Condition DeplorabIe.
THE condition of Italy Is deplorable.
National debt interest charges now al
most equal the national income before
the war. She has lost a great income
from tourists, she has lost cheap labor
and Is compelled to pay enormous
prices for raw material. She formerly
imported 100000 tons Of coal at IS
ton but now pays $50 a ton.
THE world owes US $4,000, 600 900

THE WORST
SPEEDER

Old Father Time breaks all speed
records and defies all speed cops.
Years ago somebody wrote him:
Backward, urn backward, Oh, Time,
in thy flight.
And make me a child again, just for
tonight"
But it is a safe bet he didn't do it.
We do not notice what a sleep-burner
that old guy with the scythe and Boil
shevik whiskers is until we begin to
feel rheumatic pains chasing up and
down our frame and discover the sill
yer threads among the gold. In youth
we run the old man a merry ace and
give him the laugh, and then he steps
on the a~ccelerator and throws every
thing into high, and the next thing
we know we are full of crouch and in
digestion, and the doctor tells us to
cut out the coffee and red meat and
go on a diet of boiled hay and pre-
digested chips. Then eyes go on
the blink and we can't read what the
senators and congressman are calling
each other until we cough up $40 to
an occulist, while microbes raise
large families in our teeth in spite
of the dentist who plugs them with
zinc.
The speed-burning proclivities of
Father Time are the worst bumps the
human race gets UP against, and ulti-
mately he runs every one of US down
finally and fatally.

BUILDING UP A
COUNTRY TOWN

Every town or city or village has a
temperament of its own. Some com
munities are quietly satisfied with
what they have already attained. They
live along indolently and comfortably.
Or, if they desire advancement, they
are so busy and burdened with daily
work, that they find neither time nor
thought to give to problems of de-
velopment.
Other communities, like many peo-
pie, are always reaching ahead into
the future. No matter if they already
have achieved fine results, they see
greater attainment farther on. They
dream and plan and work for some
broader expansion and better advan-
tages and facilities of living. 1t is
fair to say that Winnemucca is one
of that type.
When a town is ambitious for fur
Their development, it has its choice of
two kinds of aims to work for. 1t
can strive for manufacturing indus
tries, or it can place its principal re-
lance upon the resources of the near
by country and try to develop them,
and it can promote intensive develop
ment Of its own educational and social
advantages.
The increased population hat re-
suits from encouragement of manu-
featuring industries, may not be able
to maintain the cultural advantages
of a town at the previously existing
level. So while some towns advance
in population and business, they may
lose in educational and residential
conditions.
A good industry employing skilled
labor, is a benefit to any town. Any
movement for rural progress will do
well to consider the possibility of Sc
curing industries of that type. But
it's best hope comes from providing
the facilities, the comforts, and the
advantages of modern civilization, and
from developing the naturai'resources
of the locality.

SHOE


Shoes are at least double, on an
average, what they were in price be-
fore the war. The manufactures
says it is because of a shortage of
leather and raise in wages Of labor.
The facts, however, indicate that he
is both a profiteer and a liar. Here
are the facts:
The United States bureau of mar
kets says there are more skins and
hides on hand now than eve before in
history; that American warehouses
hold eleven per cent more cattle hides,
313 per cent more calf hides, 1875 per
cen more horsehides, 1876 per cent
more kangaroo hides, 116 per cent
more goat hides, and 116 per cent
more kid hides than they did a year
ago.
AS to labor costs the Shoe Workers
Journal, acknowledged authority on
the subject, says editorially that it
has proof and figures on hand to show
that the increase in actual cost of la
Dor in making the better grades of
mems shoes does not exceed thirty
five to forty cents per pair.
Yet the cost of the shoes to the
wearer is double. Who gets the rake
off? Who is pr~ofteering?

BACK TO
THE LAND

1t is estimated that the South will
get approximately $1,000, 000, 900 from
its cotton crop, almost the total pro-
duction of gold in California since
gold was discovered more than half
a century ago, and the West will re-
ceive 5000, 900; 1000 or more for its
wheat crop. 1t would seem that now
is the time to join the back to the
land movement. Such figures suggest
sudden wealth, and there is no deny
ing that the average farmer has been
doing very well, thank you, in the
past few years, but this business of
rushing wildly back to the land is
not so simple as it may seem to the
toiler generally. Prices of farm prod
ucts are high, as the ultimate con-
sumers know. as well as the farmers,
but the prices of land are also up
in somewhat similar proportion, and
those who might be tempted to go
back and break the stubborn glebe
and wrest a fortune from the soil are
handicapped by the fact that they are
so busy raising the price of daily
bread and other luxuries that they
haven't a chance to lay up coin to
invest in country real estate, and the
other essentials of going back to the
land to a good advantage.
Ten thousand dollars is only a
starter these days in tickling the
bosom of Mother Nature with tractor
plows.

If it is the manufacturer, as all in
dications and signs point to, why is
he allowed by the government to rob
the whole people in any such shame
full manner? Are the officials, whose
duty it is to stop all such public
plumber, getting paid not to do their
plain and sworn duty? If not, then
what other solution of the problem
can the consumer arrive at?
Doubling the price of shoes with
out just reason is a wholesale rob
berry of all the people, right down to
the little child and baby, of hundreds
of millions of dollars, in the aggre-
gate.
Who is to blame, and why is it not
put a stop to, and the plunderers
punished?
