(By United ‘Press.) I. London, (By Mail.)—Eighty U. 8. i navy niine swee| re busy today in | " the North sea, at a‘job- almost as ! dangerpus and, from: the viewpoint of | shipping, quite as important as hunt- ing submarines. They are clearing away the largest mine barrage in the world. This bar- rage, nearly 80 per cent American- made and American-laid mines, is about 200 miles long and 45 miles wide. It closes the North sea from Bcotland to Norway. 25 g “"The task has already resulted in & casualty toll.of four vessels damaged, one officer killed and others wound- ed. The U. S. S.-Bobolink, the first viotim, had her stern blown in by an exploding mine. Lieutepant .Bruce was killed. Several othier officers'and men, knocked overboard, were res- cued. The U. 8: 8. Patuxent was bad- ly damaged about the stern and the U.'S. S. Rail slightly damaged. All were of about 1,000 tons. The fourth was a smaller boat. " Captain Sexton, U. S. naval chief of ‘staff-in England, said the Ameri- cans are getting “hep” to the under- taking and overcoming many of its difficulties. Thus far the fleet has covered an area containing 4,000 mines. Of thése, 46:per cent have been account- Where the remaining 65 per are,- nobody - knows.’ . Captain Sexton ' estimated the' mine hunt would keep the sweepers busy until October-or November. It invalves a personnel of :about’ 2,500. * When the word wag first mouthed around through the ranks that Amer- ican gobs ‘were going to pick up-t!e mines they helped to lay a short that it. would “be one of the most thrilling jobs yet. And no one has been disappointed. Equipped with maps showing - approximately where every mine was dropped, the flotilla started out in twos, éach pair drag- ging a cable‘between them. “ ‘The mines, the map said, were sown in strings. All the sweepers had to do“was to straddle the line, pass from one end to the other, and the cable, between them, would do # the rest. Of course, the particular mine in question wouldn’t be the only one to go off. The concussion would always set off others immediately adjoining, and probably still others adjoining these. These two exigencies were provided for an the map under the titles “zone of extreme danger,” = ‘‘zone of possible danger” anu be- yond that “zone of ‘safety.” In addi- tion, there would "be a few other mines free-lancings, around in all three zones. e The first few Jays wdé-rather dis- astrous. Captain Sexton and. his staff in London began to dread.opep- ing the morning’s dispatches. Grad- ually, with Yankee resourcefulness, on .top of the job, until now Captain Sexton is confident they are going to clean up the assignment with min- jmum losses.

And on most farms some of the machinery—often the greater part of it—is left out-of-doors the year round. A weather-proof implement shed doubles the life of farm machinery and cuts repair bills to a minimum. On that basis it doesn’t take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure that an implement shed is a' good'investment. A man can easily figure the value of the machinery he leaves out-doors and see how much he cou}d afford to pay for a shed without its costing him a cent of extra outlay. And then machinery when it is protected is always ready for use when it is wanted. No time lost in the busy season, putting it in shape. ‘Any way you figure it, an implement shed is a time-saver and money maker. ) There’s economy., too, in building well. White Pine for the outside of farm build- ings means permanent buildings. Every board stays where you put it, without warping or rotting or shrinking. Weather doesn’t affect it so repair bills are practically cut out. = We can give you practical working plans of the implement shed shown above—or of two other types—or any other type of farm building, together with specifications, bills of material and estimate of cost, free of charge. .
