As the result of the midnight recognition between bandit and victim, William McCarthy, aged eighteen, and George Marsh, aged seventeen, are in the city jail and are said to have con fessed to three robberies of which they are accused. Gardner and Mc Carthy are college mates at Creighton university. Marsh is also a student Driving a roadster, McCarthy and Marsh went to Blair at midnight and held up the proprietor of a confectionery store. They got $36. w Leaving Blair, according to McCarthy's statement, they ranged alongside « "flivver" driven by John Kruse, a farmer living near Florence. With Kruse was his brother, Fred. Kruse attempted to escape when he saw one of the robbers leaning from the roadster with a révolter In view, but well directed shots punotured the rear tires of the Kruse machine. The farmers were forced to give up $4 and a watch. The next event and the fatal one of the three robberies was when the youthful bandits sighted the car in which Gardner and his. friends were elding. They were bound on an early morning duck-shooting trip. Not noticing the five shotguns plied In the car, McCarthy, waving his revolver, ordered the huntsmen to stop.

How They Welcome Wounded Yanks in New York N EW YORK.—A sturdy hero of the Soissons drive, who doubtless has a long and useful life before him, held between his thumb and the one finge» ■till remaining on his right hand a cigarette that he smoked enjoyingly.

Out on the edge of the grounds, where the goldenrod and the asters and the bittersweet make a gay au tumn tangle, a blue-eyed veteran of Cantigny was seeking solitude in which to try out two artificial legs attached below the ki^ees.

A Woman, a Flower, and a Fib That Was Pure White K ANSAS CITY.—She was Orge and heavy, with clumsy, work-stiffened fingers and a face net-worked with care. For long minutes she had been atanding In front of a florist's window, with yearning eyes on the banked ferns and delicately tinted flowers. At last she sighed and half turned away, hopeless longing In her eyes; but rebellion smoldered there, too, and as she cast a backward glance at the beauty she loved and was denied, re bellion hardened to determination. Sh« fumbled in her pane and drew out a quarter, swung around and entered th« shop. "How much are them posies?" she asked huskily, pointing to some faint ly pink blossoms on the window ledge •Those are fifty cents." The woman studied them a long time "They're pretty" she murmured resignedly. The girl looked at her keenly.

The girl smiled as she wrapped the plant and watched her radiant eus r go down the crowded street, the flower held close as something in Itely precious; and she was still smiling when she dropped thirty cent# he' own pocket into the cash register. nScih £) N0E3? ■X as in It raw Into as out age. the may bor self not with a what tage. ful of the but the Is that fore small of Is the well hurry, son. feet cows. horses. this This liked It iE Ground Floor Will House 28 Cows and Six Horses.

Better farm methods require better buildings, not necessarily expensive ones, but buildings that are well planned and properly adapted to the work for which they are Intended. A farm building should be first a prop erty saver, second a labor saver. Farm n ♦ ; mJ may be considered in a sense as a necessary expense, but on the other hand they should be considered in the light of an investment. A farm barn Is the fanner's factory. It is a building in which he converts raw materials into manufactured products. In a dairy stable he takes cheap feeds and manufactures them Into expensive cream and butter. In feeding stables and hogpens he manu factures high-priced breeding stock, as well as good beef, mutton and pork out of cheap grain and cheaper rough age. It makes a great difference In the profits whether this barn factory Is so constructed that the animals may be comfortable enough to make the bgst possible use of the feeds given them.' Profits are also seriously affected by the labor problem. Barns and stables may be so arranged as to conserve la bor or to waste labor. In selecting a plan the fanner him self must be the Judge of what he needs. The kind of farm building best adapted to one part of the country Is not suitable for another. Two farms adjoining need different buildings, be cause the kind of farming differs with individuals. One farnlfer makes a great mistake by blindly copying what another farmer uses to advan tage. Every building requires care ful study to fit it into environments of the farm and the peculiarities of the man. In building, by all means secure the services of the best mechanics within reach. Their wages are a little higher, but they seldom spoil material, and the job Is almost always more satis factory In the end. Judgment Is necessary In buying ma terials; generally speaking, the best Is the cheapest, but It often happens that a good second grade answers the purpose just as well, while effecting considerable swing In cash. Farmers may save a great deal by getting ready weeks, or months be fore building. Putting up even a small building runs Into a great deal of work. Often the time required Is more than twice as much as the estimates. By having everything on the ground confusion is avoided, as well as the annecessary expense of getting things together in a great hurry, often at an inconvenient sea son. This cow barn is 34 feet wide by 80 feet long and will accommodate 28 cows. There Is also space for several horses. The manure gutters and floer for cleaning Is in the center, so thist in this stable the cows face outward. This arrangement makes It easier to remove the manuse and the ploa Is liked by some dairymen. The balloon roof construction makes It possible to store a great deal of^. bOX JTM.15 rtlDixo Mltr UoTt'l 51111 n \ OtIVtWAT I0IM 3Tm I u HtjtL |foÿ sfmfr 1-1 Tttomo Mitt Plan of Cambrel Roof Barn. feed overhead. It leases a clear spacij for the horse fork, which works freely from «ne end of the building to the other. Roofs like this are compara tively new. The first ones built wer« not strong enough to stand heavy winds, and some of them blew down, but there has been no such trouble re cently. If properly braced each ski« forms a truss and the two trusses meet together at the peak. There aqe hay chutes at the sides for putting down hay and bedding and there is a stairway for convenience fta getting up and down. To help out at feeding time there should be a silage carrier to run from the silo down the different alleys to distribute the feed. If a farmer wants to know the number of miles traveled about the stable It Is only necessary to figure the number of trips and steps taken ench feeding time, then multiply this by the number of feeds during the winter. If every dairyman would do this the location of some silos would be changed. The amount of travel will surprise those who have never thought about it. This is one rea son for placing the silo at the side, The manure alley In the center is wide enough so It Is not necessary to have a pile of manure outside of the stable. Manure is worth a great deal more when it is drawn Immediately from the stable to the field. This barn looks well and It Is a good practical barn. A bnrn of this type must ba nsed before its many conveniences and the In the so be by la he Is be of a of^. economies can be thoroughly appreci ated. In effect. It Is two stables In one. The horse barn, as should be the rule, is shut off from the dairy sta ble by tight partitions and solid doors. Room is provided in the tremendoue mow for the storage of sufficient for age to last through an ordinary win ter season. Any surplus hay product^ however, may be stored to excellent advantage In a hay shed. The plan for this barn may be modified, if de sired, by creating more space for horses, or by eliminating the horss barn feature entirely and making a dairy barn of the entire structure. BELIEVED BY MANY BRITISH Legend Conneet* People of the "Tight Little Island" With the Loet Tribes of Israel. There Is a small group In Englant who believe the British are the lost ten tribes. Victoria Is said to have been Interested In the Idea that the reason for her being crowned In a chair under which lay the Stone ol Destiny may have stretched directly back to the Son of Isaac. The legend Is that before the Scottish kings were crowned on thlB stone It was In Ire land, whither It was taken in the fifth century before Christ. This was the stone used by Jacob as a pillow. Norman llapgood, in Leslie's Week ly, has the fol-'owing to say regarding the subject: "The theory that the British are the lost ten tribes has two coinciding lines, One brings to Britain the tribes never restored after the Captivity. It is th# earlier captivity that Is ta! on to affect the British population as :>» whole. The ancestors in this case won'd be Israel the northern branch of the Jews. The other line of the legend deals with a later period when the southern brasch of the Jew's were scattered. There being no male descendants, the erqpvn w'ent through the daughters. Ultimate ly these turned up in Ireland, and Vic toria was descended from them through the Irish kings. At one time a member of the house of lords and a colonial bishop of the Church of Eng land. were Included among the be lievers, 'The principle of these legends la the same that causes most legends to find the nucleus of any given na tion In some wanderer from Troy Before history became in any way exact, these attributions, both re ligious and heroic, flourished every where. 1 ' An Undefined Expression.

SOME ADVANTAGES OF DAIRY Sale of Products Furnishes Steady In come Throughout Year—No Fluc tuation of Market. iPrepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture ) 1. The sale of dairy products fur plshes a steady income throughout the year. The farmer who depends upon crop sales for his income usually makes the hulk of his sales during one or two months of the year, while dur ing the rest of the year he has no cash income. Such a system requires long credits in the community. 2. The market for dairy product* fluctuates very little year by year as compared with other farm products. 3. Through the return of manure to the land the fertility and physical con dition of the soil may be maintained at a high level and crops increased. Even after many years a properly maintain ed dairy farm has constantly Increas ing crop yields instead of decreasing ones. 4. In dairying, labor may be utilized at a more uniform rate throughout the mm A Good Dairy Herd Gives the Farm Many Advantages. year than in nearly any other farm business. The grain grower, for exam ple, may have to employ much addi tional labor at harvest time, but 60 far as the dairy is concerned the dairy man has about the same duties to per form every month of the year. Thus, less help fs required seasonally and permanent employees may be kept. 5. Through the dairy cow many un salable roughages may be transformed into products from which cash may be realized. Grass hay, corn fodder and other roughage which may not have a ready sale are economically utilized by the dairy cow. Land which is not suitable for cultivation can be utilized for pasturage for dairy cows. FALL FEED FOR DAIRY COWS If Not Well Fed at This Time Animals Will Go Into Winter Season Thin In Flesh. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The wise dairyman wfll feed liber ally during the fall months. Cows which are not well fed at this time will go into the winter thin in flesh and with reduced milk flow. It will be ex pensive and largely in vain to attempt to bring them back to normal flow af ter they go on winter rations. It will pay to begin feeding silage and hay early. The extra feed given at this time will not only bring good, immediate returns, but affect the milk flow for the whole year by putting the cow in good condition to go through the winter months. Cows which go Into the winter In good vitality and with undiminished milk flow are the ones which will make most economical ase of the high-priced feeds given them during that period. Keep up the milk flow during the fall months by proper feeding It will pay. Cold, uncomfortable cows will not make economical use of feed. Their highly developed nervous systems are very susceptible to sudden changes In temperature. This should be borne in mind in the fall when the first cold rains and cold winds come. Protection from these will prevent the reduction In milk flow which they always cause. Do not waste feed by letting your cows stand ont. In cold winds and rain. IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY BULL Good Animals Should Be Utilized te Fullest Advantage to Increase t Milk Production. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) On account of the present emergency It is particularly important that good dairy bulls should be utilized to the fullest advantage, for more can be accomplished in increasing milk pro duction and making it more economical In this way than in any other.
