business on a new efficiency basis. His
military training had taught him that

He shook hands all around and had

CHEEKY laugh was replaced by tight
Tipped smile and his merry gray eyes
had a new. cold gleam. He was pleas
ant enough but strangely brusque and
business-like. He told the office force
that he was glad 20 be back with them

ing the coming of Reverend
John Chapman Watson to Lit
Teton Not only. was his coming a
mystery. but his whole personality.
his past, and his former connections.
Reverend Watson arrived in Little
ton one hne spring day, and put up at
the Union Hotel Just like any ordi-
nary shoe salesman or drummer for
q grocery house. He arrived unher-
aided. No church committee met him
at the station. No church was con-
tsmpiating hearing him or engaging
his services.
The reverend gentleman just
dropped into town from out OF the
clouds-an accident as It were.
At least. that is the way the towns
people looked upon it. But later. in
about three months, they evoke to
the real facts. that he was a wiser
man than they thought, and came into
their midst as . part of a carefully
laid plan.
Reverend John Chapman Watson
was thoroughly trained to his strange
and mysterious vocation. Upon ar
irving In Littleton he knew exactly
how 10 proceed. what to do next and
how to advertise his coming and in
spire the curiosity Of the townspeople.
He made nne appearance as he strode
down the main business street-any-
body would have picked him for "A

AGE or THE SUN AND STARS.
Belief Now That They Are Several
Hundred Times Older Than
Has Been Believed.

4 recent paper by Mr.. Harlow Shap-
ley brings to focus the long-standing
disagreement between physical astron-
omers and biologists concerning the
duration Of solar radiation and the
conquest age of the earth, and also the
question of the age of the stars in
general. The short time scale of the
astronomers is based on the assump-
ton that the suns heat, flowing uni
forinly at the observed rate in all d.
rections. comes from such recognized
sources as gravltational contraction,
the fall OF meteorites, radioactivity.
etc. The supply of heat from these
sources could last only few million
years. The date OF geology, however,
particularly the recent work on
shythms IN denudation and sedimen-
.ation and on the radioaetiyity Of rocks
are decidedly u bpd 20 shost time

From this brief description il will be
seen that modern barn IS worth
while on every farm. The barn itself
and its equipment represent a fair
sized investment. but it is an invest
ment that will pay good, big dividends
in actual cash through saving of labor
and increased production. Also there
is the advantage of tightening the
work around the barn. work that is
done in the early morning and in the

The modern barn is equipped so

one that any farmer would be prout
to own. Its gnbled roof g,-es 1t
graceful appearance, and 1t looks wha,
1t is--a modern barn for an up-to-datt
farm.
The dimensions of this barn are 81
by II feet. 1t is wide enough to pro
vide space for two rows Of stalls, q
feeding alley through the center and
litter alleys along each side.
On one side are two sets of stalls,
one having places for nine cows and
the other seven. On the other side Is
a row of nine stalls and two calf pens,
the larger one having seven managers.
At the end on one side is the bull pen,
while on the other side Is a feed room.
1t will be noted by the floor plan
that there are carrier tracks through
the center of the barn. over the feeo
alley and on either side over the lit
ter alleys The carrier tracks provide
an easy mode of carrying the feed to
the managers and to carry out the lit
ter. No piece Of barn equipment
saves more steps, physical energy ant
time than feed and litter carriers that
travel ON overhead tracks.
The cow stable floor of this barn, as
with practically every other modern
barn. is of concrete. Set into the
floor at the rear of the rows of stalls
is a gutter, which catches the litter
and enables the farmer to gather it
place it in the carrier and transport Il
to the manure piles. The carrier in the
center of the barn conveys the ha!
and other feed directly to the stat
heads No more walking the length
of the barn with ferkful of hay
where the carrier system is used.
While they are not shown on this
plan. every farmer who has water
pressure system on his farm has in
dividual drinking cups at each man.
