vile, Decatur, Bloomington.

Galesburg, ILL.,, Feb. 3-The Knox
college basketball team will under
go its severest test of the season
during the next few days when it
takes a three-game trip into Indi-
ana and southern Illinois. Games
will be played with the Wabash
Millikin and Illinois Wesleyan
fives on three successive nights.
Wabash defeated Knox early in
January by 1913 score but the
scoring machine Of the Galesburg
school was not going at top speed
at that time. Wabash's victories
over Purdue and other strong
teams marks it as an unusual COL
lege outfit so the Knox tossers are
not overly optimistic.

The keeping of cows has become one
of the greatest industries in the world.
In building a house for the herd the
health, comfort and cleanliness of the
cows must be considered because they
are the important factors in produc-
ton. Moreover, the health, ease and
efficiency of the men are also impor-
tant. Today the farmer can secure
satisfactory barn like that shown in
the illustration, barn that will be
a real home for his cows in which they
may live and produce efficiently and
profitably. 1t will also be a workshop
for men and his boys who some day
will take over the farm and continue
in their fathers footsteps. If he is
too shortsighted to recognize the value
of a modern barn with labor-saving
devices and equipment and pleas
ant design, he may not have the sons
with him to take over the farm. In
variably they leave the farm as soon
as they can get away. Better farm
buildings are solving the boy prob
lem on the farm better than any other
single agency. IT the past, boys have
left the farm because of tie long hours
and the back-breaking work. The dairy
barn was the main source of trouble
and the big cause of discomfort.
Trucking litter by wheelbarrows was
drudgery and the boys invariably
broke under the grind. The carrier
has lifted this load from their Shout
ders, and scientific planning of the
barn stalls has eliminated many bur-
densome tasks. Modern dairy barns
make farming a pleasure as compared
with the old systems.

NOT TO BE SENT BY MAIL
Remarkable Number of Things on
Which Strict Restrictions Have
Had to Re Placed.

It is easy to understand why yea
may not send tobacco to Peru,
Morocco. Greece and several other
countries, because the governments
concerned hold monopoly of the ar
ticle. The same reason applies to
Serbia, Algeria and Tunis with regard
TO playing cards.
But the reason why certain other OBJ
jects may not be sent through the
post to various lands is not so OBJ
vious. Why, for instance, may not
one send feeding bottle to Algeria
Or police whistle to Nicaragua? Or
jam to Mexico?
Prison-made goods are refused adj
mission by many countries. Patent
medicines are Forbidden entrance into
Algeria, Rumania. Sierra Leone and
Italy. Trinidad won't have rat killer,
while old clothes are rejected by the
Caroline and Marian islands. Greece,
in the latter respect, only bars old
shoes.
IT is not altogether surprising that
Ecuador will not accept parcels con.
taining implements for colning, and
Bahama turns down loaded dice.
Religion, like government monopo-
lies, is responsible for many of the re-
strictions. To Mohammedan the
picture of any person signifies curse,
hence one may not send packages of
picture postcards and the like to
Arabia, Persia and Palestine.
Holland will not accept parcels con-
tanning pirated editions of copyrighted
works, while Norway refuses announce
ments regarding lotteries.
