WEAK EXCUSES ABOUT THEATRE TWO COMMISSIONERS PERSIST IN ACTING CONTARY TO WISHES OF MAJORITY OF VOTERSACTION WILL HURT CITY'S GROWTH IF NOT REMEDIED— MUST HAVE THEATRE WORTHY OF IDEALS OF CITY Interest of , the citizens and summer vision of Cape May, is centered on the proposed beach front improvement at the present time. A petition bearing the names of the majority of the voters of this city has been prsented to the City Commissioners being evidence that this matter has been seriously considered, here and that the people as a whole are heartily in favor of this proposed improvement. Were an official vote taken by the dty to put this proposition up to the voters to decide it would undoubtedly yesult in a landslide in favor of the construction of the new theatre. And when they vote they will be in favor of the 1aty leasing ground that is now idle and securing a revenue in return that, were the same rental charged by a private concern, would be among the list of "Profiteers" for no business man to-day expects to earn 21 per cent, upon his investment— and that is the percentage that is now offered the city for the rental of this small pieoe of beach front property. , Theexcuse proffered by the Com- , missioners in a recent Star and Wave certainly must have struck the i petition signers— eight hundred strong | -i-ae one of the weakest and lamest 1 excuses ever given for turning down J a proposition of this kind. , We teve heard city officials speak i of the necessity of careful consideration of improvements, where the city ' was to do the improving, for the cred- 1 it of the city is not suffcient to make all of improvements at one time- But here is a chanoe to receive more than a fair return on money invested — for which not a cent is received now. And they decline to accept the money offered the city— in-fact they are setting a precedent and are, in a way, 'Trilling the goose that laid the Golden Egg," for treatment such as they have gives this proposition will certainly put a damper on any movement for hotel, theatre, building operation, or " any other implement that may be considered by some group or groups of men, in the future. It is understood that one large contract has been held up on other beach front improvement. Let the Commissioners reconsider their error and instad of pigeonholing the proposition, get-together with the theatre company arid to settle this propositi^ to the mutual satisfaction of the tax-payers and the thatre company, so that Cape May will have one theatre on the beach front that will be worthy of our city.

SHOWS LATEST IN BARN BUILDING Design Embodies AH Labor Saving Conveniences. COMFORT FOR HERD INSURED Building Hat Twenty Stall* and Four Stock Pans, and Is Supplemented by Two Hollow Til* Silos. By WILLIAM A. RAOFORD. Mr. William A. Radforg wli. um questions and five sdrlo* FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of bulldlnc work on the farm, for the readers of this paper. On account of hie wide experience. ae Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he la. without doubt. th» highest authority on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A Radford. No. 11X7 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only Inclose two-osht stamp for reply. During the winter months the farmer has" plenty of time to shape bis plana for the coming spring. He has many problems to sift over, many preparations to make, and of these none la more Important than his future building plana Perhaps be did not have enough storage space last fall to handle the unnsually large crop of corn and other grmlna or enough housing room for his large herd of anImals. His dairy herd has Increased In size, and he must find more room to bouse 1L To him the dairy barn la the most Important building of the group, and tt behooves him to give it special attention and study. He has found during the busy season, when help wes so scarce, that appliances and equipment In the dairy barn would have saved weary hours of worry and also added to his prqftts. Tbeee items should also take up some of his thought If after a few months' study be decides to build a barn like the one shown here he Is not liable to make

unv inistuRes. For It embodies tne latest Ideas In barn building. Sub- , stantially built efficiently designed and completely equi|i|ied with the most ; modern dairy barn equipment. It Is n i structure that will reflect credit on any up-to-date progressive farm estab- ; llshmcnt. Built with the well-known gambrel , type of roof, this dairy barn Is frame. . set on a stout concrete' foundation. By the use of the plank frame type of construction, ample storage space has bpen provided In the large hay- ' mow above. / One of the attractive features of i this barn la the splendid silo supple ment provided In the form of two large vitrified tile alloM* They afe/14 ' feet in diameter and conneetSTwdJh, the feed room. This feed room Is ' splendidly arranged for the storage of feed and conveniently close to the 1 stalls ao that extra work and hauling are eliminated. Bins for grain have been built In the upper part of the feed room. Leading from this feed room Is the main central feed alley, on either side ! of which are the cow stalls, ten on | each side. They are equipped with the most modern, sanitary and hu- , mane stall partitions, stanchions, mangers and drinking cups. Every convenience that will help to Increase the productivity of ♦the cow has been Installed. Some will argue this Is tremendously expensive. When the ultimate return Is considered, this equipment turns out to be the most economical. A feed carrier track Is located over this feed alley and enables the hired man to haul the grain via carriers to each stall with great speed and ease. Similarly. In back of each stall over the litter alleys, are litter carrier tracks to carry the manure to the ad- ' joining manure plL Thus the old back-breaking wheelbarrow method has been relegated to the growing dump pile of antiquities. At the end

at Ike cow staH are calf mod beO pews, also fitted with reodeea bare fixtures. tow stock peas la a cross aisle also | provided wtih a carrier system. Three < stork pens have removable partition* | which allow the fanner to Increase , the size at wUL Immediately to the rear of these pens are large double 1 eliding doors. 1 The rear aisle of the barn leads < Into the adjoining shed which covers I the manure plL The carrier track ] leads to the pit This shed Is 34 feet , I long and 18 feet wide. . Another of the important features j of this building Is the ventilating sys- . tem. This consists of' foul-sir flues. Installed at various intervals around ^ the barn to drew off the foul air. Mod- ' ern ventilators on the roof provide a , continual source of fresh air which Is essential for healthy animals and profitable production. Lightning rods placed at Intervals along the roof proi tect the barn against the fire menace. ' Fortified yvlth a dairy nam of this i type, a farmer can consider himself , Very fortunate. It will be an Invaluable asset because it accomplishes two Important results, Increased milk ' production and Increased satisfaction among the hired help, which- obviously I Increases their efficiency. BEGGARS' GUILD IN HANKOW i Mendicants Have Strong Organization : and Run Affaire In a BusinessIlk* Manner. 1 la Hankow, China, even the most petty trades have their strong guild , organizations, which regulate competit! on and settle disputes. The beggars bare their organisations and once on a visit to Hankow I was fortunate enough to meet the head beggar of that dty, a very capable man who had performed wonders In organizing and disciplining the crew who - lived on HankoWs lean charity. He ; had apportioned ■ the beggars between the different streets Lnd had evea arranged the exact amount each boose- ; bolder was to give to each beggar ; monthly. If a beggar violated any of the regulations set down to govern his s conduct, complaint was made, not to , the dty offldals but to the head beg-

gar, wno, out of the wealth of his experience. would attend to the offender with wisdom and dispatch." Some months after my ^lslt Hankow was captured, first by the republican i forces and later by the Manchus. For a long time the city was without Its usual complement of officials, Judges, policemen, etc. During this hiatus the beggars were kept In hand by the guild. The richer guilds employed men to take the place of the regular , police, and the absence of political authority was little noticed, because It had never played a very Important . part In the lives of the residents.— Christian Science Monitor.
