DO YOUR PART IN PREVENTING A COAL FAMINE NEXT FALL BY BUYING YOUR WINTER'S COAL NOW. ‘Buy your coal now; buy it early," is the advice given ,by Dr. Garfield, National Fuel Adminia-i trator. CANNOT MEET FALL ORDERS ■ Railroads .moving crops, factories returning to normal conditions and the usual winter demand for coal will swamp the operators if they cannot meet the demand by a large summer production. '"Consumers should order their bituminous coal at once, to enable the producers to hire the labor and work their mines full blast.’’ If it can be hauled from the car to your bin there will be the saving of an extra handling for which you pay if you wait until later.— J.

ROSELAWN FISTIC ENCOUNTER
Arthur R. Franke of Thayer, who swore out a warrant one day last week for Dr. Eugene Rice, charging the latter with assault and battery with intent to kill, has been arrested on a warrant sworn out by Rice, charging him with drawing a deadly weapon, said to be a large and vicious looking knife. When the Dr. Rice was called last Thursday Franke was unable to be present because of blood poison in a wound on his leg, and the case was continued to the October term of court. Rice gave bond for his appearance and is at liberty. Rice and Franke engaged in a fist fight in Thayer on May 17, and each charges the other ■with being the aggressor.—Morocco Courier.

NO, HE DIDN’T RUN.
A colored boy Sam, while rambling through the woods, came on a hornets’ nest. With rare courage for one so young he flung a stick into the abiding place of the little alrplanists, with the usual quick results. Sam made a hundred yards in two-fifths of a second less than nothing. "You didn’t run, I hope, Sam,” said a white “gemmen” to whom Sam related the episode. “Well, mistah, I wouldn’t say ’zactly that I run, but a man in a field ’cross the road said he couldn’t see nothin’ of me sum mah wais’ down.”

BETTER BARNS NOW THE RULE
Farmers Going More and More to Better Type. DESIGN THAT IS FAVORITE Erect House* for Live Stock and Winter Supply of Feed That Keep Animals at Their BeetProfit Producer. Mr. William A. Radford win answer qu ration* and give advice FREE OF CCBT on all subject* pertaining to the subject of building work on the fam, for the reader* of thia paper. On account of hi* wide experience a* Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he I*. without doubt, th* highest authority on all these subject*. Addrear all Inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, II!., and only Inclose throe-cent stamp for reply. Everywhere throughout the country the farmers this year are going more and more to the modern type of barn —a barn that will keep their live stock In the best of health and at their highest point of productivity all winter. Such barns cost more than the old-fashioned, loosely constructed
buildings, but in the end they more than pay for themselves. Warm animals produce mo* from the feed they consume for the simple reason that the nourishment is not required to keep them warm. While it is a long time until winter, now is the time to build barns, houses and the other buildings the modern up-to-date farm requires. Foresight, someone has said, is better than hindsight. This’ is true in planning the sort of bars to be erected this year. By taking into consideration the facts that the successful farmers have found during their experience, the modern farmer will profit In the end. These facts are that good houses are the most important feature in making dairying profitable. Illustrated here is the type of barn the modern farmer erects. It is what is known as a plank-frame barn, one constructed of lumber, but framed on the foundation, rather than on the ground. The latter type was popular in the days of the "barn-raising bees." This is the most economical type of construction, and, at the same time, provides the best sort of a weatherproof barn for the live stock. The dimensions of this barn are 42 by 72 feet, which Is amply large for
tne average farm. The floor plan shown is designed to accommodate ten milch cows and twelve horses, besides considerable loose stock. This can be changed, however, to suit the needs of the owner. For Instance, one end of the barn can be partitioned off so as to have the horses separate from the cows, which is required by the pure food laws of some states. When this is done, as much or as little space can be set aside for the horses as is wanted, and the balance devoted to the cow stable. This barn has an exceptionally attractive- exterior appearance and will make a fine addition to any farm building group. It is of the gambrel-roof type, which provides a large amount of mow space. The building is set on a concrete foundation, with a concrete stable floor. The balance of the building is of wood. As in most modern barns the stalls are placed so that the anmals face in. Through the center of the building runs the feed alley, wide enough for a wagon to be driven through. This gives the owner an opportunity to carry the grain feed by wagon directly to the feed bin, from which it is distributed by an overhead carrier directly to the mangers. Along one side of the building, back of the horse stalls
THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT
la a litter »W- The overhead carrier track is extended over thia part of the barn, which makes the work of removing the manure easy. In the arrangement of the stalls here shown, the cows face each other at the end of the barn. Between the stalls la a feed alley, while litter alleys run back of each row of stalls. The hay chute la located in the center of the building with the feed bin. Each stall la equipped with modern stanchions, which give the animate much frej, dom and at the same time bold them securely, while at each stall la an individual drinking cup. Gutters are sunk Into the concrete floor back of each row of atelia. Tb« water system 18 used to flush these dally, as well as the floor, thus keeping the stable floor clean and wholesome. This bam provides three features that all animate need to be kept healthy and at their highest point of productivity. They are sunlight, fresh air and fresh water. It will be noted that there are many windows ranged along each side of the building. These admit quantities of sunlight, and are at a height that will permit the sun’s rays to hit the litter alley. Sunlight Is nature’s greatest germ killer, and by admitting the sunshine there Is less danger of the spread of disease among the animate. On the ridge of the building are two ventilators, which are connected with foul air shafts leading out of the stable. These ventilators suck put the foul air, which Is replaced by
fresh air. The fresh air is admitted at a height that prevents the animals from being in a draft. The drinking cups at the stall provide the cows and horses with fresh water at all times. Water makes milk, and those who have put In water cups have been surprised at the amount of water a cow will consume while standing In the barn, and at the Increase In the amount of milk she will give. The mow floor Is clear of obstruction In this type of a barn, the roof being supported by v rafters only. A carrier track Is run\tlong the ridge and out underneath the gable at the front. The door drops down out of the way, and the hay Is mowed away by power. While no silo Is shown In this illustration, one Is put up In connection with most modern barns, as It has been discovered that the animals thrive on silage, while at the same time less hay Is consumed. Hay demands a good price In the grain- market, while there is no sale for corn stalks. A silo adds to the farmer’s income. While the cost of building now is higher than It was before the war, the farmer gets so much more for his products In proportion that he cannot
afford to put off building. As was said at the beginning, a modern barn is a profit producer. It will increase the milk production and will keep his highpriced animals healthy. Prices of materials now have been stabilized. That is, there will be no change in them during the year. There is no reason why every farmer should not have the new buildings he needs. And nofr is the time to build them.
Lost French Children.
A correspondent in the London- Dally Mail writes of the lost children of Lille as follows: “According to information received by me from France, the mother of Lille, through MM. G. Lyon, the sector, and E. Doumer, professor of the University of Lille, have presented a petition to the president of the French republic asking him to demand from the German government the return of their children, of whom nothing is known except that they have been taken away by the Germans, and urging that it is possible that the fear of reprisals might induce the barbarians to return the children to their mothers. The missing children include 13 under fourteen years of age, 1,109 under fifteen, 1,447 under sixteen, 1,440 under seventeen, or 4,018 In aIL
The Girl In the Case
By A. W. PEACH
»Lt. 1»1>. by the McClure Newspaper Syßdloata.) Ames had long been the butt of the men rooming in the Rand apartments —termed the ’’roost for roosters odU" by the would-be humorist of the inmates. He was so homely that a man could, in the phrase of another humorist, look at him once and ever after feel satisfied with his own countenance. Antes took the Joking good-naturedly —in a way that seemed to bint that he had something up hte sleeve; but that something never appeared. He was a drummer, traveling through the southern states; and his visits to the apartment, where he retained a room, were always at the holiday season when social festivities were at their height. It was Ames’ hard luck to be forced to sit around while the others discussed their plans and made their preparations for dances and celebrations of a like nature. He was Induced to go to a few, but it was plain that he did not enjoy himself. The girls looking upon him were inclined to let him decorate the chairs. He was a poor conversationalist except with men; so the other sex never learned to know his sunah(ny nature. The conclusion wus reached that he was doomed to be a bachelor for life. Beattie put It thus to him: “Jeff. v\e’ve done the best for you we could, but you’re simply non grata to the girls. I’m sorry for you; now take me, for instance —” And he went on to laud himself. It was all done In fun. but keen eyes saw Ames’ face change; and It was plain that -at last he had become

wearied of the old joke. He drew from his vest his watch and casually snapped it open. “I’m tired of hearing you fellows shout about your girls and feel sorry for me. Now, here’s something for you —look over that picture, and if you can match that face with a prettier one, I’ll pay for the dinner,” he said quickly, but smilingly. Laughter greeted him, but the watch was passed around; and each face changed as it came to look upon the face. Starr, who was the last of the circle, was startled as he saw the fair girlish face appear to his gaze. He guessed that her eyes must be dark —probably a brown; her lips had the curve that is ever inviting; and her hair was coiled in heavy masses. He handed the watch to its smiling owner. “Jeff, you have one on us. Now, there’s just one thing for you to do;, you must have her at the big dance!”
A chorus of approval greeted him, Out Ames shook his head. “Bring her here for you handsome chaps to run away with —well, hardly!” Question after question was asked him, but to each he had a smiling reply ; and with each answer he was able to settle up some old scores. Finally, he said: “You’ve referred before to the chap whose mustache was so red that when he appeared on the street people thought his nose was bleeding; and you’ve put me in his class. Just mark it down that a handsome face isn’t all there is to it.” There the matter rested for a week. Ames had a sweet revenge, for the rest of the men were determined to see the One Giri. At last, however, Beattie, with his usual lack of tact, got results. “I don’t believe there is any such girl —she’s a fake!” he announced. The others in the room saw Ames’ face redden and then whiten. -The silence was a bit oppressive until Starr said quietly. “Bring her to the dance and show him up, Jeff.. We’ll make him stand the dinner if you do 1” Ames seemed to read in their faces their doubt —the doubt that had risen at this suggestion in Beattie’s thoughtless statement. . HiS"' homely face broke into its pleasant smile. “She will be there; and, Beattie, I want you to make good when I have shown you up.” Then he turned and left the room.

The rest felt sorry for Beattie, for a dinner to that hungry crowd was usually a serious affair, as far as a man's pocketbook was concerned, if not In other ways. As to the question whether or not Ames would appear with the Mysterious Girl, there was some doubt. Those who knew him well realised that he meant business; the others were confident that he would fall to appear, During the next few days Ames was often asked about the girl; and hte answer was always easy and confident. “He has something up bis sleeve, all right.” Beattie said, "but no girl as beautiful as that would ever tie up with a man with a phiz like Ames’.” The night of the dance came. The orchestra played their preliminary concert and then swung iuto the dance music, but no Ames and the Girl appeared. At 9 o’clock Beattie smiled, at 10 o’clock he was grinning, at 11 he was ready to laugh, when he turned in time to see coming In the door the tall figure of Ames and with him a slight, wrapped figure whose face, peering smilingly over the collar of Tier cloak was indeed the winsome face of the Girl la the watch. “There’s where I lose two weeks’ salary,” Beattie groaned to Starr. “You deserve to lose more,” was the answer as Starr hastened to Ames, intending to be at least second applicant for a dance. Ames' triumph was complete. When he swung into the lilting music of the next dance, the eyes of the hall were upon him and her. She danced beautifully, so much so that she more than made up for Ames’ awkwardness ; and he seemed to be Inspired to the extent that hte large feet assumed a rhythm unusual to them. Her picture had perhaps been a bit complimentary; but she was beautiful —of that there was no doubt; and every one of the doubting males who danced with her made up his mind that he would get in on Beattie’s dinner. The evening ended with no Issue in doubt When Ames bade them good night and escorted her from the hall, It was admitted that he had won a triumph ; and the only despondent face in the gathering was Beattie’s. The next day in Beattie’s room, where the clnns had gathered to “rub it In,” appeared a hallboy with Beattie’s mall. Sourly silent to the remarks going his way, he opened bls mall, read the first letter with wondering eyes and then turned to them. “Say, will you listen to this? It’s from Jeff. ’Dear Beattie—The bet’s Off. The girl I brought is Norma Hale —one of the dancers with the musical play, “Gay Eyes.” I cut the picture from a photograph of the chorus. I hired her to come with me. The money looked good—l know I didn’t bore her. You shoved me into this, and I guess the joke—if it is one—ls on you. Yours, Jeff.’ ” “And the dinner, too,” Beattie added solemnly.
