do those who live on the coast, both east and west
Still we do realize there is another thought urging
the continued construction of these gigantic fight
ing machines. The steel manufacturers have to
find market of size that can consume their |
products, just the same as other products must
be used up Without doubt there is in congress
today many good men who would be fighting mad
if it were even limited to them that they are, at
even the remotest aiding the big steel companies
in keeping their great plants operating at the eX-
pense of the taxpayers of the country. Yet there
is not the slightest doubt but that influence is
brought to beat-not open insistence-tO bring
to the minds of those who are making the appro-
priations for construction of batteships, that is
must be big appropriation. That there must be
certain number of these machines built each
year. That this government must lead all others
in sea fighting equipment.
One is inclined to wonder what the reason for
such array of highly colored propaganda is, where
it eminates from, and who stands the cost of the
many columns Of reading matter that constantly
finds its way into the press. To create the desire
among the people Of this country that it must
lead all nations in fighting strength is laudabe in
one way, but most expensive. One battleship
means the people must spend many millions Of
dollars and when we say the people, it is the whole
OF them, not Just those VINO lie along the sea
coast. And we are hearing a great deal at this
time about the next war being one Of science
wherein the battleship will be of little or no use
Why not get the national interest turned to
the upbuilding of the great resources Of the coun-
try as well as the construction of great battle
ships? It's hard matter to do this. The percen-
tage Of representation in congress is so small
from the western part of the United States, as
compared with that o The eastern states it is I'M
possible to pass any measure without the support
Of those eastern members. When it comes to ask
ing for anything for the west-the real vest
our eastern members throw up their hands and
let out yell that rocks the dome. They complain
that the western states are always asking for
something. Well, are they not entitled to what
hey ask for? The eastern states get what they
want by virtue of their greater representation in
congress. So it is not surprising that the irrga-
zion legislation desired cannot be secured, or can
only be obtained in pieceneal parcels. Not enough
to 90 the good that is possible and too much to
waste in half done projects.
The cost Of two batteships would do lot TO-
ward the construction of an irrigation district in
/ Montana whereby many thousands of people pro-
duce q living and the prices would all eventually
get back to the treasury This cannot be figured
for battleships. They are direct cost with moth
ing to come back, and are perpetual expense af-
ter they hit the water. Irrigation in the western
states will in its way do great deal to keep bat
tleships from being necessary. Think it over.

PLEASING DESIGN

Practical Farm Home That Complies
With the Old Saying That Ideal

Many Large Rooms"
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm, for
the readers or this paper. On account Of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
Manufactures. he liz, without doubt the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all inquiries to William A. Rad

There is an old saying that the ideal
home is small house with great
many large rooms in It," What comes
nearest this specification is the house
shown In the accompanying illustra-
ton. Here is house that is only 80
feet wide and 40 feet deep. Still 1t
contains nine good-sized rooms, six of
which are bedrooms, and is designed
to accommodate the modern home
conveniences.
In securing the plans for home II
is first necessary to consider the size
Of the family that is to occupy 1t.
Practically every modern home, with
the exception, Of course, Of those
planned on a more elaborate scale,
contains three rooms for the use of all
the members of the family--living and
dining rooms and kitchen. The add.
tional rooms added to this trio are

watch Long Under Ground.

An interesting find has been made
in Kings Park, Edinburgh. While
workmen were engaged recently in cut
ting the channel for the electric cable
from Portohello power station, near
st. Margaret's well, in the Kings park,
one OF their number unearthed a large
gold watch which has turned out of
exceptional interest. The watch was
handed over to the police, and
Investigation by experts has proved
that 1t was made In the year 1777 or
ITS. The face has been slightly dam

Of time which has elapsed, the time

are rusty, but all the gold parts are
quite bright. A scrutiny of the police

to find any information relating to a

RICH HARVEST FROM THE SEA
One Acre Of Salt Water Capable Of
Producing an Almost Incredible
Amount Of Food.

North sea fishermen handle ten
thousand million fishes of all sorts
and sizes, from the giant ray to the
tiny whiting, everys year. The twin
ports Of Yarmouth and Lowestoft have
alone received nine hundred million
behring's in one season.
One acre Of the North sea, or the
English channel Is capable Of yielding
as great a weight of food as hun
dred acres Of the best grass land In
Sussex.
There has been quite run on fowl
farms lately, but when we consider
that the cod produces eight million
eggs, the domestic fowl has to take a
back seat. 1t is estimated, however,
that only one egg in ten millions lives
to grow up"
Salmon produce thousand eggs
for every pound Of their weight, and
though the canning factories Of west
ern Canada and the United States are
working hard all the time to supply
the worlds demands, the fish still run
IN the rivers in hundreds Of thou
sands.

MILK DELIVERED TO CITIES
Figures Announced by Department OF
Agriculture on Total Cost to
Ultimate Consumer,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment or Agriculture.9
The total cost Of milk delivered to
the consumers door In Columbus, o.,
during the first six months Of 1920,
ranged from 11.3 cents up to 1853 cents
per quart, II the costs OF one company
which does business In certified"
milk are omitted, according to the fly
ures recently announced by the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
cost OF the raw milk delivered at the
dairy ranged from 81 cents to 10 cents
per quart. The total cost Of OBJ.
Grating the dairy plant, including the
pasteurizing and bottllng Of the milk,
ranged from / cent TO la cents per
quart, and the cost Of delivering the
milk from the dairy to the consumer
ranged from 1.61 cents to 80 cents per
quart.
The item of administrative expense
varies widely, being as low as two
lenths OF cent per quart for one
small company and as high as cent
per quart for large concern.
Two OF the seven companies covered
were small concerns which produced
their own milk supply The cost of
producing the milk for these COM
panIes In 1920 was SO cents per quart,
which Is very similar to the price paid
for milk by the larger concerns.
One OF the Items of cost which has
attracted most attention among stu
dents OF the milk business Is the So
called bottle loss" The depart
nStit's study indicates that for the
companies covered in Columbus this
Item ranges from one-tenth to two
tenths of cent per quart
Great difficulty was experienced In
getting any satisfactory information
concerning the sbrinkage which takes
place In the handling and delivery OF
milk, but according to the best data
available this item amounts to be-
tween 2.3 per cent and SIS per cent OF
the total volume OF milk.
Columbus Is city Of 23T, 031 popula-
ton, which Is reported TO consume
shout 27,0o0,00O quarts OF milk per an
mum. This milk Is supplied by over
1000 producers, from Is different coun-
ties. and Il transported TO Columbus
from territory having a radius of
80 miles. Conditions appear to be

the necessary bedrooms, the number
of them depending on the number Of
members of the family.
Farm families oftentimes are large
for the reason that accommodations
are not only needed for the members
of the family of the owner, but for
the hired help as well. For that rea-
son the average farmhouse Is larger
than the average town or city house.
Also the farmer has more space upon
which to build; the size Of his house
Is not limited to the size of building
lot, which Is, in most cases, small.
The "small house with great many
large rooms" shown In the illustration
Is good type of farm home. While
its exterior is not elaborate, 1t is at
tractive and the design is sufficiently
simple to make 1t comparatively In
expensive to build. 1t Is Of frame
construction, set on concrete founda-
ton, which has no "1ogs" in 1t. The
hip roof on the house proper and the
attic projections, combined with the
gables over the entrance porch and
the dormer projection over it make
for good taste in the appearance OF
the house.
The entrance door leads into a hall
at the corner, adjoining which on the
front is the living room, IA feet
inches, by II feet 8 inches. The bay
of this room at the front with three
windows adds to the attraction of the

operated 40 milk routes.
From the point Of view OF the farm
