PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON
How sweet the child who says. *'] will,” when weary father cries, •‘I wish you'd take the ax and kill about a million flies!" The child who’s active to obey, who heeds, ■with cheerful brow, whatever Pa or Ma may say, is,, worth more than a cow. I have a pair of young galoots, and when ,1 bid them work, they answer me, “You bet your boots,’’ and never think to shirk. I say to them, "Go rake the leaves ■from off the lawn today;” they get their rakes and neither grieves that he must quit his play. 1 say to them, "Go paipt the pump, and mow’ the priceless grass," and the? go to it on the jump, and hand me back no sass. For such a wholesome brace of kids, it is a joy to toil, to buy them underwear and lids, and cake and castor oil. How sharper than a serpent's tooth, how Worthless and how bad. is that unseemly, graceless youth,-who won't obey his dad! For him the wor! Will bold no prize, the dump will be his borne: he’ll live unloved, afid w,hen he dies, no soul in town Will mourn.

WOMEN AND THE LIBERTY LOAN
By MARION LUCE.
American women are protected from the hardships of the trenches by the courage of the American men. It will never be necessary to recruit an American Battalion of Death —but in the other two branches of war service women can and must take their places. Women are taking men's places In the workshop, the office, even In the fields. Wherever there Is work to do, American women will do it. No other nation has given its women so much — none other deserves so much from them. Women can invest in Liberty bonds. Women can curtail waste and stimulate thrift, and invest in more Liberty bonds. When women save money to Invest in Liberty bonds, they serve doubly, for they release all the labor and the materials that would have been used In manufacturing the things they didn't buy, at the same time aiding their government in continuing America’s holy w ar. Women Must Save and Work. Women, stand beside our fighting boys in spirit! Keep up the morale of our army by unflinching courage and heroic devotion at home. The Third Liberty loan points your duty—the third nation-wide call to universal service—the third sword sharpened for victory in the forge of freedom. America must win—it dares not fail —lt is America, the unconquered, that calls. Women, it is said, spend ninetenths of all the money that is spent. Let every woman scrutinize her family budget. She must do the major part In taking her family’s share of Liberty bonds. Upon th® women of America must rest, in a large measure, success of the Third Liberty loan. To the American Mother. A boy, yours Or your neighbor’s, lies shivering in the trenches "over there." Wet, cold, weary, or, worse yet. on thd stretches of No Man’s Land, wounded, alone, dying. You cannot bear for him one agony; you cannot him life, health or happiness. But if all America does her duty y«ej can give to every American lad who g—-s over the top the glory of hope—the reasonable certainty of victory—the emulation of knowing that he does not die in vain —that America has risen as one to make the world fit for life, fit for home, fit for freedom. ' ■ ■w--Invest in Liberty bonds now. Subscrib* until it hurts. Take what you can outright. and take on the ir.stalln»< nt plan as many as you can stagger under. Remember —it's no longer “do your I it.” but d<> your ail. Hold fast for -
Uncle Sam’s Note.
j \Vt> toe government sells bonds, it fakes no tn- ney out of the country. iVh.ft if does is to ask the fanner, the -’ manufacturer and the laborer to sell their pnelncts ou time and it gives an I interest-hearing note in advance, until yon and those other producers can make the supplies to conduct the war. The war department can’t shoot houses and lots and grain at the Germans. It asks the producers to grant it the credit first and then get busy and make the supplies it needs, and when your government has on its hands the biggest war the world ever knew, there is no time for trifling. Invest in bonds and see Uncle Sam and yourself through.

RUNNING WATER FARM REQUISITE
Plant to Supply It Does Not Call for Great Expenditure of Money. FITTINGS EASY TO PROCURE Entire Outfit May Be Provided at Small Cost and Its Installment Is Easy for Any Man of Average Ingenuity. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience u Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only enclose three-cent stamp for reply. By WILLIAM’A. RADFORD. Hie first real improvement in a farm home comes with the supplying of water under pressure for domestic use. There always is a farm Well or some kind of water supply. It is not difficult and not necessarily expensive to erect a tank. Tho tank may be large or small, according to the house requirements, also the quantity of water required for live stock, and the amount of money available. The main thing is to arrange for domestic water on tap as needed. Hot and cold water in the kitchen sink is the main necessity. Other plumbing may be added as seen best. All water pipes and fittings C are standardized, so that the different sizes may be ordered from any supply house with the assurance that the threads will screw together and fit properly to make watertight joints. The whole outfit necessary to supply running water may be enumerated as follows: One overhead tank (or low-down pressure tank) from 2,000 to 5,000 gallons. One force pump and jack to put water into the tank. One two-horse gasoline or kerosene engine to drive it. One water front for the kitchen range. Oho round 1.30-gallon water tankheater. One enameled kitchen sink, with hot
and cold water connections, including a properly trapped waste pipe. In connection with these necessary furnishings will be the iron pipe and fittings necessary to carry the water from the elevated tank to the house and to distribute it through the stove water front and the kitchen reservoir to the. sink. The waste pipe from the sink should connect with a regular vitrified sewer

pipe carried to a safe distance. The •sewer is trapped and ventilated outside of the building and the sink waste pipe is trapped and ventilated inside of the building. The waste pipe trap is clpse up under the sink to prevent any possibility of foul air being forced through the waste pipe back into the kitchen. The ventilator pipe sticks Out through the roof.
This simple outfit will lighten the work of the women and go a long way toward making farm home life pleasant and attractive to all members of the family. The modern kitchen is light and well ventilated. It is supplied with a good cooking range, a sink with hot and cold water. There is an ice box within easy reach and the gellarway opens from the kitchen and leads down with easy steps to a good storage cellar for household supplies. There is a good-sized kitchen table and conveniences for pastry making. There is a pot cupboard only a step froh) the cooking stove, and there are proper receptacles for holding flour

and other kinds of materials, besides suitable jqrs for spices, teas, coffee, etc. The farm kitchen should be large enough to hold a dining table to serve meals when extra help is employed. It should have a rear or side wash room for the men to save tracking dirt into the kitchen. » A bathroom in a farm home is a great luxury. Boys ami girls hesitate. to leave the farm and go to the city when they have such modern conveniences and comforts at home. The floor of the bathroom should be eitlrer tiled or covered with linoleum. The finings of a bathroom should be of white porcelain enamelware. The price is governed by the size, weight and quality. A total bathroom outfit may be bought for $75 and the work of installing is not necessarily expensive.
A farmhouse of modern, convenient design is shown in the accompanying drawings. The rooms are placed so as to provide for the many additions that are .common to Qte farm and are unknown in towns and cities. The sides of the house are finished with clapboards and the roof is of the gable type shingled. There is n small porch in front over tlie entrance, while along the side is a long fporch that can be used as the outdoor sitting room. On the main floor, the dining room Is the largest room and is combined with the kitchen. In a farmhouse plan it is necessary to have a large dining room because at certain times of the year a large number have to be fed. and it would not be particularly convenient to feed them in installments. The combining of the dining room and kitchen is more convenient for handling a large number of hearty eaters than a separate arrangement. This room is made readily accessible from both the back and front of the house. A long hall reaches to the front porch, and the wash room for the men opens into the dining room and also has a dpor to tlie back porch. The door from the side porch also opens into this room.
In back of the combination dining room and kitchen is a wash room, which assists considerably in keeping the bouse clean. The men can come in from the back porch without having to go into the kitchen and can wash in tliis room .and the kitchen will not be crowded up just before nteal times when working space is most needed. The basement has an outside -entrance and is equipped with a' workshop, vegetable cellar, fruit closet, heater room and laundry. The vegetable and fiuit rooms are placed away front the heating apparatus as far as possible so that they can he kept cool. The second floor plan calls tor three bedrooms and a bathroom. These are arranged with a hall opening to the stairs so as to be convenient. There is also anotfteri bedroom on the first floor for the help. ’

HELP IN 50-50 WHEAT PROGRAM
Thousands of Retail Grocers Support Food Administration •• Rules. SIGN PLEDGE VOLUNTARILY. • New Wheat Saving Program Demand ed Allied Food Shortage Increases—America Must Feed Fighters. Explaining the United States Food Administration’s new 50-50 wheat fteg ulations is a war time task the Ameri can grocer has gladly shouldered Many stores are already displaying their Food Administration wheat saving pledge cards, that they have signed, agreeing to carry out the new wheat program. r Each flour customer is now required to buy one pound of cereal substitute for every pound of wheat flour. The substitute may be of one kind or assorted. This 50-50 sale is made by weight and not by value of the commodities. There Is, of course, no regulation demanding the consumer to buy wheat flour at aIL A wide variety of substitutes has been provided: Cornmeal, corn flour, edible cornstarch, hominy, corn grits, tarley flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, soya bean flour, Feterita flour and meals, rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and buckwheat flour. Graham and whole wheat flour constitute an exception to the national regulation. Either of these commodities may be sold at the ratio of three pounds to five pounds of wheat flour—that Is, five pounds of graham or wheat flour counts the same as three pounds of the usual wheat flour. Mixed flours form another exception. Where any flour contains 50 per cent, or less of wheat it may be sold without any substitutes. Where the flour is mixed at the rate of 60 per cent, wheat and 40 per cent, of other ingredients an additional 20 per

cent, of substitutes muss be pure-hased by the consumer. Where necessity Is shown specialty prepared infant's and invalid's food containing flour may be sold. That the approved substitutes may be assorted is a fart many grocers and housewives overlooked fw a tfsae. For instance, if a custonaer wishes to buy a 24 pound sack of flour the nee-,, essary substitutes might be assarted as follows: Corn meat S pounds: cote grits, 4 pounds; rice, 4“pb®tidS'; t»Sc&wheat, 2 pounds; cornstarch. 1 posnd; hominy, 2 pounds; rolled cats, 3 pounds. None of the substitutes shonld be considered as a waste purchase. There are many household trses for each. The eight pounds of corEtaea! can be made into cornbread, corn muffins or used in the baking of wheal bread. Cornstarch is useful la nsakSig CBtard, thickening gravy or nay be used in cake baking. Coro grits fried like mush forms a delicious dish, or it nay be used in baking corn bread. RoDed oats are used largely as porridge or in oatmeal cookies or ia making muffins. Buckwheat flour may be used fu bread making, forming an excellent substitute for one-quarter of die wheat flour, but Is especially choice Ju the form of buckwheat nakgs flor breakfast. With 11 wfaeatless meals needed each week In Aroerici to provide enough wheat for the allies, the Foo>J Administration believes the subsltutes will all be used to advantage.
