Improvement being carried on but
there has also been numerous
building projects launched during
the past two years.
Perhaps the most outstanding
among the buildings recently
erected is the large up to date $2,
000 dairy barn on the Ernest
Douglas farm.
The barn stands north and sodth
and is 38 by S feet. A concrete
10 foot tile wall built. on a con
crete base gives the barn an ex
tremely solid foundation. Approx
imately 1200 blocks were 'used In
making the tile wall. These tile
walls were all made by the use of
an up to date tile machine on the
Douglas farm
The entire 'floor of the barn is
concrete. The gutter, feed alley
and back of the cows are all left
In that form while a board floor
has been laid over the concrete
in the space where the eowi stand.
On the east side of the barn are

an automatic drinking fountain
placed between each two cows.

Sereral smaller buildings were
built in the community. Among
these were a small four-room
house on the Robert Anderson
farm, a garage and a hog house on
the C. A. Rockhill farm. The hog
house is approximately 24 by CO
feet and thus furnishes plenty of
pens for the manr head of bora
which are raised on this farm.
At present a S1S00 residence Is
about finished on the Worth Wi
ley farm, under the supervision of
Charles Sergeant, contractor. The
outside walls o( this six room
nonse, size zg by 14 feet, are
made entirely ot'tile blocks set
upon a concrete foundation whieh
furnishes a full sized basement.
The porches and steps are also of
concrete. The 1500 blocks used In
the outside -walls were all made
with the use of a tile machine by
Mr. Wiley and an assistant. The
house will be modern in every de
tail and finished with a stucco
over the tile blocks.
