SPLENDID BARN FOR SILL FARM It Is a Combination Structure for Horse and Dairy Herd. MODERN CARRIER EQUIPMENT Frame in Construction, Set on Solid Concrete Foundation—New Con veniences Cut Out Many Hours of Drudgery. 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 of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Rad ford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago. 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. We are all more or less familiar with the “old red barn” which until recently was as well known along the country side as the little red school house. But with the march of prog ress the little red school house soon lost its prestige and is now replaced by the more modern and efficient con solidated or district school. It was inevitable that the antiquated barn should follow down the road to ob livion. It has been one of the re sponsible factors in driving the boy from the farm to the city. For it meant untold hours of drudgery with ' ” , '' ' ‘ ~ fapw/F-kur I— -| 1 i cqPt rT j^ x plqWg ymn ^ — p rtooe. Plam ( SILO \ /SILOJ little recompense. It Involved haphazard methods, Insanitary con ditions and poor stock. Better farm buildings have been the natural outgrowth of the present cen tury of efficiency and sanitation. The old barn could not survive. Better buildings meant healthier, more con tented stock and increased produc tion. Increased production is the fore runner of greater profits and greater profits mean more comforts of life for the fanner and his family. That is why bams such as that shown are being built on farms whether they are large or small. If large enough a barn is built for the dairy herd alone. And it is well worth the outlay. But if the farm Is not large enough or does not have a large enough herd to require a special barn a combination barn Is often built to house cnttle and horses. Such a build ing is this. It is a beautiful struc ture and one that should inspire any farmer. It does not require a \dvld Imagination to see the sturdy sleek animals housed in this building. < This is called a combination horse and dairy barn, provision having been made for the housing of horses and cows. It is a long building, 124 feet, by 38 feet in width. The gambrel roof allows plenty of room above the stalls for a spacious, unobstructed hay mow. Note the two large hollow tile silos on the side. They are large enough to hold a good supply of silage for tlje winter feed ing and are built next to the feed room which opens into that part of the barn In which the herd Is housed. At this end of the building the horse stalls are located. There are stalls for ten horses with a harness room at one side. These stalls face a central feeding alley down which the feed carrier can be moved along an overhead track. All work of cart ing feed In wheelbarrows has been ) eliminated by this overhead equip ment and as a consequence much of the drudgery which has made work about the bam so distasteful is re moved. A similar overhead carrier track is installed over the llttei alleys in the rear of the horse stalls for carrying away the litter to the manure pit. The barn is frame in construction, set on a solid concrete foundation. The entire floor is concrete with cork brick on the stall floors. Plenty of good sized windows along the lower floor provide the sunshine and ventila tion that is so important in housing animals. It not only keeps them healthy but stimulates production by keeping them active and-elert. Active animals are workers and are con tented and as the familiar saying goes “contented cows produce plenty of fine quality milk." Passing down the main alley of the horse barn we find a door opening into the dairy section. Here two rows of stalls have been built facing in. Again the carrier track over the feeding alleys and the Utter alleys relieves the help of the heavy work of cart ing litter from the barn and feed to the animals. These cow stalls are of the latest type, set In concrete. There are individual drinking cups in front of each stall providing the cows with a constant supply of clean fresh wateb, one of the most important fac tors In good milk production. The stanchions are humane, yet firm and sanitary. At the far end of the barn are box stalls. This barn design represents one of the most efficient types of combina tion barns for the average farm. Additional ventilation is provided by special roof ventilators and protec tion against fire by lightning is as sured by the lightning rods which line the roof. When we stop to think that 00% of farm fires are caused by lightning it is very important that proper and adequate protection should lie installed on all of the buildings. Needless to say if more barns of this type were found on the farms today there would be less agitation about keeping the hoys there. In the final analysis drudgery and miserable con ditions have been largely responsible for this menacing exodus each year which threatens to devitalize the most important Industry of the nation. Better buildings and modern equip ment are barriers that will stem the tide. English as It Sounds. Here is a singular incident showing how easy it is to mistranslate an over heard remark. Said Mrs. A, one of the overhearers: “They must have been to the zoo because I heard her mention ‘a trained deer.’ ” Said Mr. B: “No, no. They were talking about going away and she said to him, 'Find out about the train, dear.’ ” Said Mrs. C.: "I think you are both wrong. It seemed to me they were dis cussing music, for she said: ‘A trained ear’ very distinctly.” , A few minutes later the woman her self appeared and they told her of their disagreement. “Well,” she laughed, “that’s cer tainly funny. You are poor guessers, all of you. The fact is, I’d been out to the country over night and was asking my husband if it rained here last evening.” “Adding Insult to Injury.’' When one Indulges In the much used expression, “adding ,’nsult to In jury,” he is ulluding to the classic of the classics, an old Latin fable quoted by I’hoedrus from the more uncient version. It is a fable about a bald headed man and a fly. The bald headed man was bitten on the head by u fly, and when he attempted In rttaliation to smite the insect he suc ceeded only in giving himself a vigor ous slap on Ids bald pate. Whereupon, according to Aesop, the fly said Jeer ingly: “You want to kill #:e for a touch —what will you do to yourself uow that you hav* added insult to injury?” THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. KIRKWOOD MERGER HELD OP IN COURT VOTE WAS 757 FOR CONSOLIDA TION WITH ATLANTA, 452 AGAINST STATE NEWS OF INTEREST Brief News Items Gathered Here And There From All Section Os The State Atlanta. —Judge John B. Hutcheson of the Stone Mountain circuit issued an order allowing the returns of the Kirkwood merger election to be certi fied by the election managers to the city council of Kirkwood and requiring them also to certify the returns in du plicate to the clerk of the superior court of DeKalb county. The returns as immediately certified, following Judge Hutcheson’s order, showed that the merger of Kirkwood with Atlanta received 757 votes against 452 votes opposed to the merger. The vote by wards was as follows: First: For, 218; against, 209. Second: For, 364; against, 79. Third: For, 184; ngainst, 29. Fourth: For, 191; against, 85. Juge Hutcheson’s order allowing the returns to be auouneed by the election managers was a modification of his previous order, issued earlier, restrain ing them from officially announcing the returns. The modification was obtain ed by Attorney Hooper Alexander, rep resenting the campaign committee in favor of the merger. The status of the merger, as it now stands, is that the will of the voters has been ascertained and made offi cially of record, but the putting into effect of their will, or the defeat of their will, depends upon the decision ‘to he rendered by the supreme court, to" which the anti-merger faction have announced their intention of appeal ing the case. Mergerites rounded up every availa ble automobile and began a spectacular parade to Atlanta after the polls had closed. At Hayes Station they were met by Mayor Key and other city of ficials. Headed by Chief James L. Beavers and a squad of mounted police, the long string of cars, all bearing merger banners, invaded downtown At lanta and halted at Mayor Key’s home long enough for short speeches by of ficials of Atlanta and the suburb. Five Weeks’ Drouth In Brooks Quitman. —The farmers of the coun ty, especially those in the stock rais ing business are feeling the dry wea ther very much. All of the streams and many of the wells have gone dry, and it necessary to haul water for the stock several miles in barrels. It has been about six weeks since it has rained here and this condition has played havoc with the cane and sweet potatoes in the county. The usual lovely fall gardens do not exist be cause of the dry weather. Five Men Charged Os Poisoning Fish Moultrie. —Warrants charging five Colquitt county men with putting poi son in a stream to kill fish in viola tion of a state law have been turned over to the sheriff’s office for service. Those accused ate W. C. Brightwell, Tom Jones, Burrell Jones, Richard Lanier and Floss Lane. It is alleged that the poison was placed in Warrior Creek near Norman Park, and that dead fish were seen floating down the stream for a considerable distance. County Police Led By Liquor Car Atlanta. —A sensational and thrilling chase rivaling Paul Revere’s celebra ted midnight jaunt and the dramatic contest, which wa3 won by the late Ben Hur was staged by a party of county policemen, who jumped a pair of alleged liquor runners at midnight recently near# the place where the Mayson and Turner rojul meets the Chattahoochee river, and pursued the w-hiskey chariot into the heart of At lanta. It is stated by county policemen that the race was most intense axound the City Hall building. The speeding autos took the corners on two wheels as they circled the city hall three times before the liquor smugglers de cided to try their luck on the coun try roads again. Gainesville Has New Hign School Gainesville. Gainesvill’e’s high school building was formally dedicat ed recently. Alderman John A. Pierce, the architect, delivered the working tools, the plumb, square and level to the bond commission. Judge A. C. Wheeler, chairman of the commission, received the building and turned it over to the mayor and council, who, in turn, turned it over to the hoard of education. Col. Howard Thompson, in behalf of the board of education, for mally named the building, "Gaines ville High School.” Prof. R. E. Parke of the state university, delivered the address of the occasion. Seville Business Section 13 Burned Cordele. —Practically the entire busi- ' ness section of the town of Seville, lo- 1 cated eleven miles east of on the Seaboard fail way, was wiped out by fire thought to be of incendiary ! origin. The fire entailed a loss esti mated at between $25,000 and $30,000, completely destroying the building and general mercantile stocks of J. Q. Rutland, the building and drug stock of A. C. Wilson and the office fixtures of Hr. J. N. Dorminy, together with all records of the postoffice. Funds and money orders were saved. 'ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF KILLED FIGHTING BLAZE | Broken Back And Other Injuries Sus tained At Warehouse Blaze Re sult In Death Later Atlanta. —S. B. Chapman, of 21 North Delta place, veteran assistant chief of the Atlanta fire department, fell three stories througn an open elevator shaft while fighting a blaze in a storage building near Powell and Decatur streets, received injuries from which he died a short while later at Grady hospital. Physicians at Grady said his skull was fractured, his left leg broken, his back broken and his right shoulder fractured. Assistant Chief Chapman, who was sixty-five years old rushed to the fire in charge of Engine company No. 2. The fire was in an abandoned piano factory beside the tracks of the Geor gia railroad which Was in rise as a storage plant by the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills. Sparks from a passing engine are said to have ignited a bale of lint cotton in the building. Chief Chapman it is said was feel his way around in the dense smoke on the third floor when lie stepped into the open shaft. Firemen rescued him and rushed him to the hospital. He lost consciousness on the way, and despite the heroic efforts of the phy sicians lie died about two hours later. No other persons were reported in jured. The blaze was quickly extin guished and the damage was declar ed to be slight. Mr. Chapman, in point of service, was one of the oldest men in the fire department, having entered the city’s service in 1886. Prior to that time he was a member of the police depart ment. Chief W. It. Joyner made him a captain soon after he became chief, and Chief W. B. Cody promoted him to the office of assistant chief in 1919. Hudsons Jointly Indicted For Murder Albany.—Glenn Moore and his wife, Mrs. Bennie Hudson, were recently jointly indicted for murder of Mrs. Hudson’s two little sons, Robert and Isaiah Temple, ten and four years old, respectively, at the home two miles south of Albany on July 12, last. A1 though indicted jointly, it is not thought, likely that Hudson and Ills wife will be tried jointly, counsel for each fearing, it is said, that joint trial might get statements before the jury that could not otherwise be in troduced in evidence on account of the Georgia law prohibiting husband and wife from testifying for or against each other. Even though the court might rule out such evidence, lawyers for each are said to prefer that their clients bo tried separately. Both Hud son and wife repeatedly have accused each other of the crime, which was one of the most atrocious in the an nals of Dougherty county. Scores Mcßride’s “Police Protection” Atlanta. —In issuing on order deny ing the motion for modification of the sentence of J. C. Mcßride, who two weeks ago was given the limit of the law after pleading guilty to a charge of operating a gambling house, Judge John D. Humphries roundly scored the alleged boast said to have been made by Mcßride that he had “po lice protection” while operating his gaming establishment. “If this claim of police protection was untrue,” the order stated, “It did the police depart ment of the city a great wrong; if true, the severest penalty in a single misdemeanor case is not adequate.” Trade Board Exploits Jenkins County Millen. —The Millen and Jenkins county Chamber of Commerce, a new body with W. R. Crites, secretary, recently has issued an interesting booklet expioiting the opportunities abounding in Millen and Jenkins coun ty. The progressive town is served by three lines of railway, the Macon and S r.-ciiinah and the Millen and Au gusta divisions of the Central of Geor gia, and the Millen and Southwestern.

SEEKS PROTECTION FOR MEN 1 PRISON COMMITTEE TO ASK PRESIDENT PROTECTION FOP MINERS HELD AS PRISONERS 138 HELD CAPTIVE IN W. VA Lewis, Not Disclosing Source Os His Information, Says He Wishes To “Prevent Massacre” Indianapolis, Ind. —Bearing an ap peal from the union coal miners o£ the country, a committee appointed at the convention of the United Mine Work ers of America left here for Washing ton to ask President Harding to give protection to 138 miners who are state prisoners in West V'irginia jails. The committeo was said to have no specific plan to suggest to the president, but it was pointed out that federal troops are in Mingo and Logan counties, which were the seat of the recent mine war involving state troopers and offi cers, mine guards, strikers and their sympathizers. Besides being authorized to give in formation directly to President Hard ing, the committee had a written mes sage from President John L. Lewis of the union, who said it explained the West Virginia situation witli a view of showing that tire lives <jf the prisoners are in jeopardy, pnd that protection cannot he expected from state officals. Lewis declined to make his message public, but, among other things, it was understood to have alleged that Don Chafin, sheriff of Logan county, had visited the Mingo county jail and taunt ed the prisoners with suggestions of an attempt to break jail. Many of the prisoners are charged with murder, among these being C. F. Keeney and Fred Mooney, president and secretary, respectively, of the min ers' union.

In naming th<3 committee, Pres ident Lewis declared the miners wished to prevent “any massacre,” but did not disclose the private advices from West Virginia that were the basis for the alarm. A letter from Mr. Money, who is at. flic Mingo county jal, was said to have told of action which made the prisoners fearful. While the convention was at a stand still, various committees were at work on a speed-up program With a view of condensing the program to three days, witli October 6 set as the latest date for final adjournment. No set order of business will prob ably be adopted, but the committee on resolutions plan to bring some of the more important of the six hundred pe titions bearing on vnrious subjects before the convention. These petitions, in the form of resolutions, were drafted by local unions scattered throughout the country. Other committees are hurrying to complete reports for the consideration of the delegates, and the convention loaders plan to hold sessions until the work has been cleaned up, which has lagged during the last two weeks, de voted largely to factional strife. NINE MEN WOUNDED IN FIGHTS BETWEEN POSSE AND KU KLUX KLANNERS Waco, Texas. —Five men were wound ed in a gun-fight between a sheriff’s posse and participants in a Ku Klux Klan parade at Lorena, fourteen miles south of Waco.
