William A. Radford urges farmers to build modern barns as quick relief for labor and material shortages. The plan shows a small farm design with a separate horse barn and dairy stable, enabling efficient storage and improved milk production amid postwar prosperity and wage growth.
The text describes a small wooden barn with a concrete floor, center feed alley, litter alleys, and a linked hay mow connected to a horse barn. It notes ventilation, a gambrel roof, and a tram to move manure to pits near the silo. It discusses barn costs, wartime job changes, and urging to build to support employment and prosperity.

It argues Americans should see Rhine beauty without forgetting German brigandage and the need to keep German military power behind the Rhine. It stresses France as civilization’s shield and warns against trusting German assurances or demobilizing European defenses.
An analysis argues Germany’s vast undeveloped resources, notably coal in Westphalia, could fund a large indemnity. It estimates 409 billion tons of coal with potential value of 300 billion dollars, and suggests ceding a quarter of this coal could significantly reduce allied claims while arguing coal propels industrial strength.
The author argues the good roads movement spreads like prohibition, noting Illinois $60 million bond plan funds main highways via automobile license fees. He warns against general tax financing and cites businessman support, while hoping for 1919 construction and broader adoption by states.
Morris Parzio, a Chicago meat market owner, allegedly drugged and coerced Eleanor Gayton into his home after a December 1916 meeting.

Police say he denied forces and threats.
August Teska, a St. Louis boy, was fatally scalded when he fell into a boiler of water during a family washing. His mother placed the boiler on the floor while her husband repaired stove pipe. The accident occurred as the mother worked in the home.
Sanford Thompson a blind man says he thought burglars were at his door and fired several shots at a caller, a negro woman. The shots missed and the caller cried for police. Clarence Magoon and Joseph Curtin planned a woods vacation near Greenfield New Hampshire to trap wildlife and earned over $1,000.
In Bucyrus Ohio court bailiff Calvin Kniseley reported the defendant disappeared during the trial as the wife charged habitual drunkenness. Judge Babst ordered the defendant called and the divorce was granted after the man reportedly went to obtain a drink.
A Hattiesburg farmer writes to the U S Department of Agriculture praising county agents for securing seed, improved stock, and farm implements. He argues one agent benefits the whole county through cooperative buying, marketing, and reduced fertilizer prices, noting prior local skepticism has given way to results from demonstration methods.
Temperature of farm water is rarely satisfactory and pollution is likely. Streams ponds and open reservoirs are unsafe sources for farm water and ice. Filtering or sterilizing water is advised before use and avoid collecting from shallow or dirty sources to protect food and drinking supplies.
Farmers advised not to crowd stock in transit to avoid losses. IK Heerwagen of Colorado Agricultural College warns one overcrowded shipment caused seven deaths and financial loss. Emphasizes snug, well-bedded cars and proper loading for freshness and safety. Also notes soil preparation with phosphate, rhubarb sun needs, and Canada thistle spread via seed and roots.
Abnormal conditions from war and other causes altered the usual link between crop prices and total value. 1918 saw larger production generally lowering prices and values for barley, cabbage, onions, and broom corn, but higher prices and values for wheat, buckwheat, flaxseed, rice, sweet potatoes, apples, oranges, and cranberries. Potatoes, hops, cotton, peanuts, and related crops showed mixed results with production shifts not fully offsetting price changes.
Gardeners are advised to include Swiss chard and greens in acre rotations, prepare seeds early, and start plants in greenhouses as shortages of red clover seed persist. Soil testing with litmus paper helps judge fertility, lime corrects acidity, and manure should be buried when sowing seeds in hotbeds. Buckwheat fits gaps when other crops fail.
