Combining Beauty with Comfort and Economy

tJtm -

THE graceful lines and attractive ar-' rangement of this house are apparent at first glance. The architect had in mind more than the erection of four walls and a roof and worked out an exceptionally pleasing design that combines beauty with comfort and economy. In providing for the comfort and safety of the occupants he has specified durable construction materials that are known for their fire resistant qualities and their ability to withstand the ravages of the elements. These same materials assure economy because they will not require frequent painting, upkeep or repairs. Around these fundamental characteristics the architect has designed a house that is so attractive it will be well worth the time of the prospective home builder to give it careful consideration. In order to conserve the entire front cf the house for the living room the entrance has been placed at the side. "The wide porch extends to the driveway from where a short cement walk connects with the entrance steps. Just inside the tiled vestibule there is a hallway and the living room opens to the right of the ball. A massive fireplace on one side of the room is an attractive feature. Three largo front windows furnish plenty of light and air, while a huge concrete flowerbox on the outside adds greatly to the beauty of the design. The dining room and kitchen are located at the rear of the house and are entered from the main hall. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms and one smaller one, a large bathroom,

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sar.born

THE BURNING QUESTION The .'gray October skies .and the chilling breath of autumn are potent reminders that the summer is ended. Regardless of how few or how many cheerful Indian summer days may follows, snow and colder weather cannot be much longer delayed. This means that fuel should be in the coal house or the cellar in order that we be pre pared from now on. The woodlot is a great institution but no matter how much wood we may have corded up the average farmer believes in the ef ficacy of the coal stove or furnace, as a part of hi3 heating plant, mostly the base burner rather than the furnace in the majority of farm homes. . But to have these conveniences without coal is like trying to run a dairy plant with a good silo and no cows; or shall we say cows without a silo. It takes both to make a happy and profitable combination.- So, to be comfortable, we must have coal. One country elevatorman told us on Monday that he hadn't ordered any coaL "Cause why?" asked -we. "Well be cause we have had such warm weath er and because it is too high. Then again, we can get coal direct from the mines right off the bat whenever we want it, by simply paying tne price. Guess we will just simply have to buy coal now, regardless of price." Switching the wire to ring the bell at Losantville, at least 30 miles north of the Union county point of call, the manager of the elevator said that, while they have coal ordered, it didn't seem an easy job to get it in. He admitted that they could buy coal, but it's not so easy to get "good" coal, the kind his trade is used to and prefers.

a linen closet and four other closets. An attractive arrangement of the windows provides ample light and ventilation for the sleeping rooms. A wide window above the stair landing lights both turns of the stairway. The long hallway makes the bathroom easily accessible to all of the bedrooms. The sloping roof and overhanging eaves add greatly to the beauty of the house. The suggestions for the placing of flowers and shrubs are also in keeping with the general design of the structure. The specifications call for the use of concrete block, brick or tile. By using stucco on concrete block the builder can secure any color he desires, for there is a wide range in stucco colors. The basement, in which the heating plant, laundry, coal room and storage rooms are located, is of concrete, which insures security from fire and protection against rats and vermin. The use of steel sash windows is recommended as this type of window can be secured from the factory with locks and hinges riveted on. Throughout the house metal lath is specified to safeguard against unsightly cracks and add to the fire resistance of the structure. The idea of fire resistance is carried out further by using cement or asbestos shingles on tho roof. This house, which was designed by Russell Barr Williamson, a Milwaukee architect, will prove an attractive addition to any community. It is not only a desirable place to live in but is a good investment on account of its durability and its high .degree of fire safety. wheat seeding is now done around Losantville, some of it going in very early, but most farmers held off in order to insure against the fly and also partly because it was so dry. They have been taking in .a little wheat at $1 at- Losantville, and are paying 65 cents for corn for local use. New Paris Well Supplied ,,. J. V Williams, manager of the Farmers elevator at New Paris, seemingly has his coal troubles pretty well solved. He reports the arrival of three cars within past 10 days and quotes coal at ?9, $10 and $10.50 per ton, at trackside, with 50c added for town delivery. And more than this, he is looking for a car of anthracite about the 15th. The anthracite is pea coal, the chestnut, a more popular size, being too. expensive, he thinks. The pea coal will be sold at $15 at the elevator. Mr. Williams said that he was paying $1.03 for wheat on Monday, and that a little was dribbling in all the time. He has both. Ohio and Kentucky coal in stock just now. The report from Economy is that ! Is Pyramid PjTnmfd Tl!e Suppositories Have Brought Helief to Thousands Wlio-Had Suffered Severely i For Years.

there is coal on the way but none on hand. Manager Schlientz, of the Equity elevator at Eaton, reports being entirely out of coal, but is awaiting a fresh supply. Two cars of soft coal and one car of coke were received by- the Milton Grain company within past few days. They are selling Hocking Valley and Kentucky , coal at $9.75 at the track side or from the cars, at Milton. All wheat seeding wDl be over-with at Milton in -the next day or so.

Kitchell is out of coaL There is no coal at the Boston elevator just now, but they are looking for some from day to-day. Boston reports the last of the wheat put in on Friday and Saturday. Boston farmers are still selling a little wheat on the upturns. Ruling on Live Stock Sales The bureau of the Packers and Stockyards Administration at Washington has made final ruling in relation to the Producers' Commission associations, instituted by the farm bureau. The ruling is that refunds may be made only to members; also that only bona fide growers of live stock are entitled to membership. Also that the administration is not concerned with the amount of the membership fee, so long as it is uniform as between members of the same class. It is also provided that membership does not exist, unless bona fide application for same be made and acceptance follows. No. 5 of the provisions relates to shipping associations, and is important. It states: That membership cannot be had by shipping associations, but that shipping associations may act as agents for live stock producers in making application for membership. That shipping associations acting as agents must present a list of names and addresses of members. We have printed rule five in full, for the information of the managers of our live stock shipping associations, which are acting for all the shippers whose livff stock they handle. It is not unlikely, however, that the Producer associations will furnish country shipping associations complete jeports of the action at Washington. "at an early date. It would then follow that the shipping associations would compile a list of the members and file same at market points, in compliance with the new ruling, as above. Handled 451 Cars While upon this subject the figures for the last week in September will be Interesting. The four producers' associations now in action, Chicago, East St. Lous, Peoria and Indianapolis. handled 431 cars of live stock in that week, St. Louis ranking first, with 158 cars; Indianapolis second, with 146 cars; Chicago third with 125 cars, and Peoria trailing with but 22 cars. The association office at Buffalo will now shortly be opened, according to farm bureau advices. Farm boys and girls of Tripp county, S. D., recently demonstrated the value of their extension training in a content held by the inter-county swine breeders' association in judging four pens of hogs of different breeds, and easily winning the first 32 places in the contest. Four counties were represented by the 90 youngsters competing, but the young farmers from Tripp county, who were all members of the county sow-and-litter club, had been tne only competitors systematically trained in live-stock judging by an extension agent. Church Owns a Cow. We find a statement, in a farm paper in relation to a "four gallon" cow, owned by a church at Greensboro, N. C. The editor states that the "Presbyterian Church by the Side of the Road" owns a church cow. The church carries on a large1 work in the poor section of the town where many children need pure, fresh milk, but arc not able to secure it. "The church rents the cow to poor families with small children, at very reasonable rates.-The cow gives about Take the

four gallons per day. The children 1 take turns in herding the cow. A natural inquiry from th dairymen would be: How long will a cow continue to give four gallons a day under this system." The cow testing done in Missouri by the Saline and Lafayette county association has proven so profitable that its operations will be extended for another year. During the year just ended the association averaged 6,032 pounds of milk and 254.7 pounds of butterfat per cow. The ; average profit above feed cost was $76.16 and the average return per dollar feed and pasture cost was $2.83. The association has proved which cows are profitable and shown how to build up profitable herds, says E. M. Harmon, dairy extension specialist of the Missouri college of agriculture. The cows that averaged 150 pounds of butterfat per year gave a profit of

$34.SS and the feed-cost per pound of butterfat was 23.1 cents. As produc tion increased the profits increased so that the cows averaging 400 pounds of c-utterrat per year gave an average profit of $136.22 above cost of feed and pasture, and these cows charged their owners only 13.4 cents for each pound of butterfat produced. The Union District Shorthorn Breeders' association will hold a good sale at Liberty, on Thursday. Oct. 12. Sixteen well known breeders are consigning the' pick of their herds to this sale, which is to be held under cover in Liberty, at 1 o'clock. Some first class advertising has been done and a good catalog distributed to fanciers over quite a wide area, REID LIVE STOCK SALE The feature of the live stock sale on the Reid farm, four miles east of Boston, on the West road, on Monday, was a collection of Hampshire and Duroc-Jersey hogs. There were 20 Hampshire spring gilts, three Hampshire sows with litters and 100 Hampshire feeders. The 40 head of Durocs included 20 spring gilts and 20 feeders, making a total of 163 hogs. In addition to the hogs, a few bred Jersey heifers and two fresh Jersey cows went under the hammer, all at satisfactory prices, the sale having brought out a number of bidders in quest of the kind of goods on offeT, The sale was under cover and th'i cattle were sold in the forenoon, whil j the hogs were disposed of after luncti The hogs brought a total of $3,214.40 and the Jerseys $692.50, making a total net of $3,906.90. There was plen ty of competition for all the stuff that showed in the sale ring. One' of the Jerseys, with calf at side, went to Louis Rich, at $9S, which was, we are told, the top of the cow sale. Walter Fulghum, of Richmond, was a liberal bidder, and picked out tho largest number of Jerseys put up, Phil Snyder, cf Eaton, is a Hampshire fancier and corralled a number of gilts at from $25 to $30 each. Isaac Morrow invested $26.50 each in threie gilts, while Joseph Weadick paid $31 apiece for five head. HELPS PLACE OFFICERS An agency has been established in the office of the adjutant general of the army in Washington, as a clearing house of information to enable the hundreds of officers, who are to be dropped from service, to find positions and to make business connections. Employment agencies, large corporations and commercial and industrial establishments will be canvassed. Of the officers to be separated from the service, many are highly qualified professional men lawyers, surgeons, chaplains, engineers, dentists and veterinarians. Short Gut

PROHIBITION IS OLD STORY IN BECHUANA ' LAND, SOUTH AFRICA (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct 10. For 50 years Bechuana land, north of Cape Colony in South Africa, has enjoyed peace and prosperity under Chief. Khama, with Great Britain lending a helping hand when needed. Khama, said to be the oldest native ruler in Africa, Is now celebrating his jubilee. As he looks back over the years he sees much to make him happy, but nevertheless he is disturbed as to the future of tho protectorate. His son and heir belongs to the new order; looks upon Khama as an old fogey; does not beliere as he does, and shows no inclination cf following in his footsteps. For twenty-five years the son has been away from home, and has not seen his old father. He turned up only just in time to attend the jubilee celebrations.

According to the story of him toll by the Buiawayo correspondent of tho Morning Post, Khama is a remarkable man. "Only in Bechuamaland. the corre spondent writes, "do we find an excep tion to the normal rule that the coming of Christianity and civilization means the passing of the authority of tho chief." Genuine Christian Khama is a genuine Christian. He practices his religion. He succeeded in maintaining his influence over his people during the difficult transition period when the old order was giving place to the new. Khama was no namby-pamby ruler. He did not tru?t to the force of his own example alone He made a law that none of his people should touch firewater and he en forced it. "One of the secrets of Khama's success," writes the correspondent, "is hi'? imposition of absolute prohibition of intoxicants within his land. Bechuanaland was dry before the Anti-Saloon League of America began to think cf prohibition." At the time of the Jameson Raid, in 1895, Khama needed help. He crossed the ocean and saw the "Great White Queen." Queen Victoria told him the raid would be stopped, and that as long as she lived his rights should nor. be infringed by any of her people. That promise was kept. As part of the jubilee's celebration; Khama's native army passed before him in review, and there was dancing and great demonstrations of loyalty. Many speeches were made. The resident magistrate, missionaries and white settlers showered congratulations on the venerable old man. Th': ceremonies lasted a long time. When they were done at last, Khama ros to his feet and amid profound silence made an impressive speech. At its close, to the surprise of everybody, he made a pathetic appeal to his son, Sekgoma. "I have a word for my son. I do not know him. He has grown up away from me, and from bis people, so that he cannot know my wishes an-l their ways. If he is willing to walk in the road that has been shown to me, all will be well. He has not yet given his heart to God. Tf he will e-ivi Tii heart to God, I shall have no doubts." In Egypt in Roman times it was a custom to put on the top of the coffin a model of the head of the person who was buried n it.
