Many builders in selecting the design fqr a home pick one of a house that will suit the need of tne average family. The house Is of either six or seven rooms, of frame construction and arranged in its interior so that it will provide a confortable, modern home for the ordinary family. There is nothing about the house that Is -“freakishit Is a good, common-sense home. This sort of house Is what will appeal to the greatest number of buyers ; consequently. It can readily be turned into cash should the builder so desire. The house shown in the accompanying illustration is the sort of a home described. It is of frame construction, set on a concrete foundation and has a full basement. There are three good rooms bn the first floor, and three bedrooms and bath on the sec-

©nd. The attic Is large—large enough, In fact, so that It can be utilized for an extra bedroom, a playroom for the children and at the same time provide a considerable amount of storage space. , From an exterior viewpoint, this design Is excellent The wide porch with brick piers; the shingled siding above the second floor sill and the inset attic window all combine to give it an attractive appearance. The size is 22 by 26 feet, so that it will go on a narrow lot, keeping down the total cost of the home. The arrangement of the six rooms is Shown by the floor plans. On the first

floor are living and dining rooms and the kitchen. The living room is large, 21 by 11 feet 6 inches. The dining room is 10 feet 6 inches by 12 feet 8 inches. The kitchen is nearly aquare, 10 by 9 feet 6 inches. A hall Connects the living room and kitchen Rnd permits entry to the basement ÜBalrs from either room. • The three bedrooms and bath on the second floor all are comer rooms and open a central s oo< lSlzed closets are provided with each

room. The roof over the rear porch is a balcony, which may be enclosed to provide a sleeping porch. Full stairs lead to the attic. This house is not expensive to build. The walls all are straight, which cuts the construction cost. Still it will make a comfortable, convenient and attractive home for the average-sised family. What it will cost can be determined by consulting the local building contractor and material dealer. Costs differ tn different localities, being controlled by the distance from sources of supply and the consequent

difference in freight rates, and the cost of labor. By consulting the contractor and material dealer, also, the prospective builder can learn many ways to cut costs without cutting the size and convenience of his home. There are hundreds of thousands of Americans now building their own

homes; many other thousands are contemplating securing a place of their own in which to live. No nationwide movement has gained such a hold on every one as the “Own Your Home” campaign. But the best way to get the home that you want is to build It. Building a home, in a majority of cases, means that the builder has to borrow money with which to build. This Is an easy thing to do. Bankers, building and loan associations, many employers, real estate men and contractors all are ever ready to help the head of a family secure a home for himself and bls family. If the prospective builder owns a lot, he can get the money to build either on a straight mortgage or on a contract, which provides for monthly payments, the same as rent. If he has some cash, real estate dealers will help him secure his home. The first step In building Is to sbcure the plan of the house that the owner wants —one that is large enough to provide for the needs of his family, and one that he can pay for without embarrassment Assuming the to pay for a home is one of the greatest incentives to save. Payments are due at a certain time? and the owner will meet them. And when the last payment is made, the builder has an asset that not only protects him In his old age, but can be turned into cash moke readily than any other thing, with the possible exception of government bonds. But what is most valuable to the home owner is the feeling that the in which he Ilves is his—his to fix up as he sees fit; to beautify with trees, and shrubs and flowers, and to adcjto as he can afford It. He is a responsible member of the' community in which he lives; he Is a fixture, not- a transient, and Is accepted as a desirable person to know. He gets advancement in business because it is reasonably certain that he will stick to his job, and-not leave his employer. And when the opportunity comes in a business way he has, or can easily obtain, capital to take advantage of the opportunity that presents Itself. Owning a home is what makes a man a real citizen. And by building a home he owns one that he wants; one that his family will be proud of, and ’one that means more to him than just a place in which to eat and sleep.

MANY LOCOMOTIVES OF MONON

Ordered Repaired by Government Inspectors; Service Badly Hindered. Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 23. —Govern n\ent inspectors visited the Monon railroad roundhouse here last night and put so many locomotives out ot service that the railroad was barely able today to run its passenger trains. Freight service was left practically demoralized. The Inspectors say that they found many locomotives out of repair and gave orders that they are not to be used until they have been placed in the roundhouse and put in proper condition. The unexpected visit of the Inspectors and their drastic or-’ ders caused much confusion and excitement at the shops. • Many of the crews reported for work this morning, but found that their trains could not be moved because no motive power was available. Finally it was possible to start two freight trains, one north and one south. By rushing repairs it Is believed that the service will be restored to normal in a few flays.

NICE MODERN HOME IN RENSSELAER with about 12 acres of fine productive land, all in cultivation and pasture, only five blocks from court house, two blocks from city schools, modern eight-room house, basement, bath, electric lights, lots of fruit, good large barn, stable for horses and cattle; hen house, etc. Lies on main stone road with cement walks all the way to heart of city. This is one of the best and most nicely located properties in Rensselaer and can be had at a bargain if taken soon. See me at once if you want a home of this kind, as it will be snapped up in a hurry at the price asked. —C. W.

HONOR BANQUET FOR JUDGES

(Continued from Page On*)

We Swear He Will Do As Well Moses Leopold All the members of the Jasper county bar, except Philip Blue, Frank Foltz, F. E. Babcock and Jasper Guy were present. A. D. Babcock, Harry Hopkins, T. B. Cunningham and Frank Davis of the Newton county bar were present. All the court officers were invited and Clerk Hosier of Newton county and all the court officers of Jasper county were present. Judge George H. Gifford of Tipton was a visitor and delivered an interesting address. Former Court Reporter Wagner dug up an old poem written by A. D. Babcock on the Jasper county bar in March, 1913, and unexpectedly sprung It as an extra on the program: POT HOUSE DOGGEREL Scholars oft’ write of the glory of Rome But to me far more dear, Are the scenes of my home — So I turn from the past With its dim waning star To record the brave deeds Of the old Jasper Bar.* ' Foltz is now farming And Dunlap, Ah: Well — Some think him a Webster More wish him in hell.

The Jew baa turned' Christian And to me it la clear That the devil is scowling At old Rensselaer. Chapman no longer shaves, paper men say And Austin and Hopkins do nothing but pray. Sir Bill has quit drinking And the devil I fear Will move his headquarters From old Rensselaer. Irwin Is not fining old-fashioned drunks, But those who are sober draw twenty-five plunks. The world is sure daffy j And to me it la queer That the devil still linger* 'Round old Rensselaer. Halleck no longer ’bout politics raves; But Honan still tramples down Bull Moosers’ graves; He can stand in the court-yard When the weather is clear And address the out-townships From old Rensselaer. Thompson is writing insurance, I'm told And says Jasper county is a mine of pure gold; While Blue Is now preaching, And Williams, I hear May break into congress from old Rensselaer; Should he do so, men say things will look queer, To a man who is sober 'round old Rensselaer.

And now that Pegasus is weary And tired, and thirsty, I think; I hasten to Hanley’s star-chamber And bone the old man for a drink,But with face turned from earth unto Heaven Like a martyr of old at the stake He spoke of the horrors of liquor. Until all my being did quake; Then taking his seat in the woolsack And with eyes pointing daggers at me, He shouted, “Stand up in the forum, You’ve been on a hell of a spree; You never were much of a lawyer I’ll give you some credit for that, But a poet"—Ye gods, and he fainted. And. his face was as black as my hat; Then turning around to the sheriff, With a countenance rigid and pale, He said, “Take him over to Goodland, Before I now soak him in jail; Yes, take him right over to Goodland, And this order obey without fail For it’s worse to be sentenced to Goodland Than to spend a whole lifetime in jail.” The following resolutions were read by Frank Davis: After eighteen years of continuous service as a judicial officer and after a like number of years of close association and harmonious relations between the bench and the bar of the 30th judicial circuit of Indiana, it having pleased the judge of the courts in said district to voluntarily retire from office, it seems but fitting and proper that the bar express the appreciation of the service rendered and extend its thanks to Judge Charles W. Hanley, retiring from his continuous and. untiring efforts to mete out equal and exact justice and to at all times extend every, courtesy and accommodation to the members of the bar, consistant with justice to litigants. > Believing that It is- the unanimous opinion of the bar that every ruling, every finding handed down by the court was free from every Influence other than a best judgment and a clear condolence, we heartily welcome the return of Judge Charles W. Hanley to membership in the ranks of practicing attorneys, believing his record as Judge of the district will add dignity to the bar as it added honor to the bench. Therefore, be it resolved, by the bar association of Jasper and Newton counties, in view of the foregoing sentiment, that we express our deep appreciation of the services rendered by Judge Charles W. Hanley in his eighteen years as judge of the thirtieth judicial district. Be it further resolved, that these resolutions be spread upon the order books of Newton and Jasper counties and made a part of the permanent record of said courts. Respectfully submitted, FRANK DAVIS, WILLIAM DARROCH, FRANK FOLTZ. Judge Hanley was presented with a fine gold Hampton watch, on the inside of the? back case of which was engraved: “Presented by the JasperNewton Bar association.” The presentation speech was made by Attorney Halleck. At the close bf the banquet and speaking a motion was made to make the banquet an annual affair and a committee was appointed to arrange for next year’s banquet, to be held early in October. This committee is composed of the following attorneys: John A. Dunlap and A. Halleck, Jasper county; T. B. Cunningham, Frank Davis, Milt Graves, Newton county. At 11 o’clock the meeting adjourned, all agreeing - that the occasion was-extremely enjoyable and the dinner most-excellent.
