COUNTY Mills ARE HAVING BOOMS UQV7

Especially Is This True of Hag- ; erstown, Where Building Is Rapid. CAMBRIDGE ON ADVANCE FARMERS HAVE CAUGHT THE SPIRIT AND ONE BUILDER DECLARES COUNTY WILL DEVELOP INTO ONE TOWN.

Not only Is Richmond experiencing a building boom at present but the wall towns in the county as well are aow In the midst of a life size boom and the manned in which these small . towns are being built up Is remarkaIlIi. T,.....t..ll.. 1 iLI. A. - lT

' Centerville also- and Cambridge City have beea built up wonderfully recent ly while other towns in the county are experiencing a similar growth. A ride between these small towns brings one

likewise is acquiring the building nab-

It. The fever, for such It might well be called, is very contagious and there Is not ' the great distance between farm houses now as there used to be. In fact one real estate dealer laugh

ingly remarked that at the present rate of building Wayne county would

soon be one large city. Perhaps this la drawing on one's" imagination just

trifle too much.. However, it Is a fact, nevertheless, that the amount of . building being done in this county is

, suggestive of possibilities in this re gard. ,

The farmers are making their usual

spring improvements and a noticeable feature In connection this year is the

.number of new barns that are now un

V der course of construction. Whether , the material advance in the price of

'food stuff (Oh, you pork) is responst

" ble for the farmers' extravagance or

whether all the barns just happened

to glTe out at the same time Is purely a matter of conjecture and Is left to

the mind of the reader to decide.

Stockholm. May 7. -After his first expression of regret over the death of Klng Edward, Col. Roosevelt today ' Issued the following statement to all

newspaper men:

"I am deeply grieved and I know

all Americans to be deeply grieved.

at the death of his Majesty. We feel the most .profound sympathy for the

British people in their loss. We in

America keenly appreciated King Ed

ward's personal good will toward us. ' which he bo frequently and so markedly showed, and we are well aware of the devotion for him by his subjects throughout the British empire, while all , foreign nations .... have learned to see in the King a ruler whose great abilities, especially his tact, his judg- " ment and his unfailing kindliness of nature, rendered him peculiarly fit to work for international peace and justice. "Let me repeat that I sure the American, people will feel at this time the deepest and most sincere sympathy for his family and his nation." Mr. Roosevelt Immediately on receipt of the news cabled his sympathy to Queen Alexandra. v His program here today remained unchanged, but in consequence of the death of King Edward the dinner tomorrow at the palace has been can- . celled. It is expected that Mr, RooseTelt's. plans in Germany, as well as England, will be greatly changed.

EARLHAM IS LOSER

(Palladium Special) Lafayette, Ind., May 7 Earlham college track team fell an easy victim to the Purdue track team this afternoon, being defeated by the score of 67 to 29. In many events Earlham made a very poor showing, but the meet was not at uninteresting as might be Indicated by the score. Conrad for Earltiam was the star of the match, taking firsts In the broad jump, high jumps and the 220 yard hurdle. He lowered Earlham's record for this event by three-fifths of a second.

He got plenty of stone from the farmers, who were amply repaid for the labor of transportation, and- his pleasing eccentricity tn paying for waste caused many a remark until he began building a secies of beautiful tittle cottages, the material for which had cost him very little in proportion to its value.

belong to Its surroundings as the use of the native stone in its masonry. A rugged landscape needs . a rugged structure. Quarried stouc is too tine and too severe, but the stone that la weathered for centuries on that very site makes the bouse built of it seem almost a product of the spot. Often It is necessary to shape the blocks, and the new surface of the split stone shows a remarkable play of color. The general color of field stone differs, of course.

says Smiles in "Thrift." and yet 1 doubt if in general we think of economy as the outgrowth of wisdom and thought. To most of us it means saving iu expense, giving up something that we want for something that

we need. But there is a deeper economy than this to which, it seems to me, Smiles refers. Economy of appreciation is as good a name for it as any. the a.Annmv that Buoa Intn tf-ijfc nnti) pa rf thtnffa anrl nnHnratflnHa anil n nnropii tDB

In a" way, to our income, but the economy of appreciation actively contributes something of the world's storehouse of utility. There is uo better 'example of this sort of economy Uian the present use of field stone In country architecture. Once was the time when a man buying a building site of unbroken ground estimated in his cost of building the clearing of the laud from rocks. He bad them dug up and hauled away to the nearest dumping grounds and then, perhaps, after the objectionable rocks were removed be put up a bouse built wholly or partly of quarried stone, for which be paid a good price. This certainly was not economy. Then one day It occurred to a man who was about to build a little colony of suburban houses that this waste material had many desirable characteristics. It was fine, sound stone, and It bad great beauty of color. Why should he buy stone when he could find as much as be wished either on his own land or on the property of neighboring farmers, who were continually carrying It off and throwing it awax?

SECOND FLOOR PLAN.

according to the geological formation of the different parts of the country, but the coloring is; always soft aDd varied. I remember lu a fireplace that I was building of split field stone, all of which was taken from the immediate neighbor bood. I found no two pieces that were exactly the same in color. They varied all the way from elate gray to a light fawn, but in the chimney piece they neutralized each other into a surface of beautifully blended color. What

quarried stone is to formal architctnre field stone is now to the simple bungalows and small houses that are becoming more prevalent as Americans turn more generally to out of door life, it has just tbe necessary roughness to blend with these little structures, which seem almost as much a part of nature jis the trees. The effect of tbe combination with wood tints is wholly artistic and restful. ' .The Craftsman house that Ls shown with this article Is constructed almost entirely of field stone and was built for a surprisingly small sum., because the neighborhood, which was very rugged in character, abounded with old stone walls that had to be destroyed. If the material had been bought or transported from a long distance the cost would have amounted to quite a different figure; but. ns it was. tbe builders gathered their stone within a small radius, thus saving all expense of transportation. The little dwelling Is very simple in line. The front, with a small porch over the door, faces upon a drive. The rear approaches the edge of a ravine whose sides ape covered with trees, so that the edges of the roof and the sleeping balcony are practically, among the treetops. For this reason also the outdoor sitting room is built In the form of a terrace, tbe shade being afforded by "the branches of the trees which spread .above it..:. Verr little has been done in

The bouse Is very attractively arranged within. ,The big llvftis: room has vh

fireplace is made of the stone from which the boue Is built and gives a pleas-J

ant sense of unity between the Inner and outer walls.

Ing room, while another flooring Is laid upon this with a deafening quilt be-, tween for use In tbe chamber above. The dining room Is separated from the living room only by a shallow grilLj The sideboard Is built Into the room. Tpstairs are two large chambers fitted ; with closets and containing built in window seats and cosy, fireplaces. A smaller chamber Is connected with tbe large one on either side of it, and all three give upon a sleeping balcony, balf of which Is sheltered by tbe roof. welcome arrangement in severe weather, while the other naif Is open to th sky. , - - '
