In this granary there are corn cribs
on each side of the central driveway
extending up to the roof. On the Sec
ond floor Immediately above the drive
way are the bins for the heavier
grain. The spout of the elevator can
be directed to fill any bin.
The building is. 26 feet wide and SO
feet long. The drive is 10 feet wide,
and each corn crib is feet wide.
This is the propitious time to build
a corn crib SO as to be ready for the
harvest when it comes around. The
wise farmer is aware of the deadly
inroads of the millions of rodents,
pests, etc., and will not be caught like
he was last year. There is no sense in
working hard all year only to put the
fruits of your efforts in a shack built
of a few boards as the only protec,ion
against bad weather. The constant
exposure to the rain, frost and snow
will play havoc with the corn and cut
down it's market value considerably.
This structure will be a valuable adj
dition for any farmer who raises a
good crop and is doubly attractive be-
cause of it's economy in construction.
Moreover, because of the installation
of the elevator it will be a splendid aid
to him in keeping help on the farm
satisfied. One of the big reasons for
the difficulty in keeping help is the
back-breaking work which they have
to perform. In this case one of the
hardest tasks has been made easy.
Only through the construction of
such buildings and the installation Of
the most modern labor-saving equip
ment can the modern farmer hope to
stem the exodus of the young men to
the cities. When the work is made
attractive they will stay. And only
by building substantial corn cribs and
granaries can the farmer hope to reap
the profits which should be his.

NEW TRICK IN PHOTOGRAPHY
What Is Known as Fuzzy" Effect Pro-
duced in an Ingenious Though
Simple Manner.

A certain fuzzy" effect in motion
pictures bears the name of a great mo-
tion-picture producer who was the first
to use it.
Most folks suppose that the whole
thing is accomplished with camera
slightly out of focus. That is not the
case. although the real method Is sim
pie and curiously ingenious.
If the camera were thrown little
out of focus the result would be quite
different. Some parts of the picture
would be recognizably distinct and
others quite distorted.
The new system is called "diffused
focus" The camera is equipped with
q lens made OF two lenses.
In the diffused focus lenses, the two
lenses making up the system have
slightly different focal length. One,
say, throws sharp focus at two inches
and the other at two and three-tenths
inches. Then, when the film is exposed
there are two images each o little

he attended the First corps school at

Major Emery participated in all the

June; at Sta Mihiel In September, and
In the Meuse-Argonne offensive in

wounded in the left arm and was in
valided home, being discharged at
Camp Custer. Soon after his return
to Grand Rapids, he was elected
member Of the Grand Rapids city COM

that time. Before entering the service
he was a real estate and insurance

Long List OF Beverages and Desserts
in Which Juice Can Be Used, as
Well as In Number of Sauces
for Fish and Meat.

In the olden times sailors who took
long trips and ate no fresh vegetables
and fruits for weeks or months were
likely to fall victims to scurvy. Finally
a cure or 8 partial cure for 1t was
found in lemon juice.
OF late years scientists have been
making a study of scurvy. its cause
and it's cure and of the conditions
that make the body proof against this
disease. They have discovered a SUBJ
stance called vitamine G, which seems
TO prevent and even to cure this dis
ease. 1t is found in many foods,
among them tomatoes and such cit
rus fruits as oranges, grapefruit and
lemons.
Lemons, therefore have new I'M
portance In the diet, according to food
specialists In the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, office of
home economics. They are no longer
to be valued simply for their flavor,
but also rs a source of one of these
necessary substances.
Lemons can be prepared in sill sorts
Of ways in the preparation of meals.
There Is a long list of beverages and
desserts In which lemon juice is used,
as well as a number Of delicious
sauces that expert cooks have invent
ed to serve on fish and meat. Many
of these sauces the busy housekeeper
has no time to make, but she can cut
a lemon IN two and put it on the table
to serve with fish, oysters, or meat.
Some people think that a little lemon
Juice adds just the zest needed TO
make eggs on toast a tasteful dish.
Lemon tuice is also good on spinach
and other green vegetables, on many
kinds OF salads, and also as f1avorlng
for pudding sauces and cakes.

the grain into spout leading to any

Irene learned from her club leader
how to finish floors and woodwork and
how to paper a wall. Then she and
a small brother put the lessons into
practice, and the whole interior Of the
house was finished by their efforts.
Her own room she furnished with a

she made over. The rag rug on the

was expended, but much taste and IN

and then quenched and cooled, 1t
bends only Ia degrees, and Its hard

heat Is increased another five degrees,
to TAO degrees, the effect Is that the

hardness number rises to 713.
