an amusing story of Yankee thrift-amuslng

war was sent from our country to buy nj
trate There were twenty-sX firms all ready
to bid on nitrate and knowing that we might
REQUIRE 100000 tons or SO in our rush to
make powder, they were also ready to form
a quiet little ring and boost the price. But
the visitor asked for only modest ten thou
sand tons-not worth boosting-and the
twenty six firms sent in their quotations az
the old price Whereupon the "norteameri-
cano" ordered ten thousand from each of the
firms and sailed away with his 100000 tons.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Pesdent Wilson, in his forth
coming message congress may ask for immediate revis
ion of the laws despite the decision Of republican
leaders to postpone action this matter until after
March T.
White House officials stated that the president would
frame any bill making wise revision of the laws
and it also pointed out that the president has twice
before recommended revision of the tax laws Congress
failed to act on either suggestion.
Republican leaders the house and senate believe that
the short session opening week from today is too brief
for complete revision Of the tax laws and they dsn
clined to undertake revision
AS reflected in the statements of Secretary of Treas
Jury Houston the president believes in redistribution Of
taxes rather than any attempt to lower Them He is also
undertoosd to hold that profits taxes all right
las measure but should be repealed 1t also
indicated at the White House that some amendments the
tariff might not be opposed by the president although it
was not stated definitely what they were. Republican
leaders have indicated their intention of holding up tariff
action until Wilson's retirement.
The writing of President Wilson's message is proceed
ing now but is not complete Several important phases
still remain to be finished Secretary Tumulty and the
president conferred today.

HE MIGHT CHARGE FOR A LOOK
Certainly, at Price Druggist Wanted for Oil, Little Should Go
 Long Way.

Recently, one cold morning, several women were waiting in a North side drug store until the street car came.
 A colored woman entered and asked the druggist for a certain kind of oil. He went to the rear of the store where he kept the stock, and coming back. said Ut is $2.25 an ounce, How much do you want?'
 The colored woman was plainly dis concerted at the high price. After a seconds hesitation her face bright ened, as she said earnestly: Maybe a drop would be enough.
 Just as seriously the druggist re- piled; Lady, We don't sell it by the drop."
 The ludicrous side of the situation struck the women spectators and they began to laugh. One of them re- marked: "Well, at that price I think a smell would be sufficient. .'-Indian- apolis News.

farmer who is successful at enc is bound to be at the other.
 The prime essential for success in the dairy business is weather-tight barn, arranged so that the work of caring for the herd can be done eco nomically and efficiently, and equipped so that the animals will be as com fortable in winter as when they are in pasture. The saving in the cost of labor that can be made in such barn, and the large increase in the production of milk that is secured when cows are warm and comfortable pay large dividends to the dairyman.
 An unusual barn design is shown in the accompanying illustration. Here modern dairy barn has been coupled with two shelter and feeding sheds for beef cattle. The buildings are ar- ranged so that the work of caring for all the animals can be done easily, and the cows and beef cattle will be hous- ed properly.
 The dairy barn is of standard frame construction set on a concrete founda- | tion and is 36 feet wide and 72 feet 1 long, It is what is known as a gam brel roof barn, with the COW stable iI
Cleveland County herald., 1920-03-18

the basement part, and above large now floor for the storage of hay and other roughage the animals need dur ing the colder months.
 Each of the shelter sheds is 40 feet long, and is set on a concrete fOunda- tion. They are inclosed so as to keep the animals warm and allow the feed they consume to put on flesh rather than provide them with warmth. Ev- cry animal, human or brute must be kept warm, and unless they are pro tected from the cold, the food they eat goes to make heat.
 Two rows of stalls in the COW stable provide accommodations for 30 cows, while two pens may be used either for calves, or one for a bull if a sire fof the herd is kere.
 The stalls are arranged so that they face feeding alley through the cen ter of the stable. At the rear of the stalls are litter alleys. This arrange ment permits the feed to be delivered to the managers on either side of the feeding alley by an overhead carrier, and the litter removed by the same means.
 On top of the barn are three sue tion ventilators, which are connected with foul-air shafts set into the walls
Cleveland County herald., 1920-03-18

of animals in the corn-belt states. At the same time they are arranged so that the herd can be cared for eeo- Ironically and, consequently, profit ably.
 While the time will soon be here when all of the live stock on the farm will be turned out to pasture, this is the time to prepare their win ter homes. Many farmers will want their old buildings rebuilt and equipped in the modern way. Other farmers will build new farm buildings for the simple reason that they are the most profitable investments they can make The barn is the dairyman's winter workshop where his animals are producing the milk he sells. And when good, weather-tight buildings i1l- crease production and cut labor costs they become essential to the success ful operation of the dairying business.
 No matter what sort of a barn OF other farm building is contemplated the best method is to consult the archi- tect, contractor and material dealer Barns no longer are put up in a hap hazard manner
