A practical demonstration to prove that individual apartments with mod- ern plumbing,- sanitary - conveniences and absolute:privacy for each family can be bulit' to- rent for from $8 to $12.50 per'month and yet yleld a rea- sonable profit to the builder is being made in Des Moines, Ia. The Octavia Hill association, which has already won renown in solving housing problems, has worked -out the plan to the small- est detall and is building the model houses. Forty-five families will be pro- vided for in the first block now under construction. The houses, which are of red brick, are simply finished, with sufficient trimming to keep them from being severely plain. One important feature of the property is the provision for the children. About 8,000 square feet of ground in the center of the block will be used for a playground. The rent collectors are trained soclal workers and will volunteer to start the play- ground activities. The Des Moines venture is a test case to prove that the insauitary and bad housing conditions which prevail for the low salaried workingman are criminally unnecessary. It is voicing an unanswerable protest against the crowded tenement, the dilapidated and IORE RS HIGHEST REGARD Big-Kus: “I'm beating you to it, Shorty.” Littles Kuss “Yes, but P've got the satisfaction of being ve certainly dropped the 5 cent bunch!”" El Kusto 2 for 25¢ and-straight 10¢; Little Kusto 5¢ The best cigar values ever offered.

NOVEL USES OF TREES. lHow Some Forest Monarchs Have Been Converted After a Fall. During a severe storm in Portland, Ore., says the American City, one of the magnificent fir trees which beau- tify Maclay park fell headlong down a slope and lay, a hundred foot giant, ap- parently quite “done for.” It proved, however, that the fine tree was yet to serve its greatest usefulness. From top to bottom of its immense length a stairway four feet wide at the broad- est point was cut, and this was edged on both sides with a rustic railing. The tree is now the delight of visitors to the park, especially children: It takes the place of a steep and slippery path which had long been considered dan- gerous, Another example of a converted tree is the cedar stump used as a band stand in Wright park, at Tpcoma. Wash. This is twenty feet in diameter, twelve feet high and easily capable of holding twenty-five musicians. - It orig- inally came from western Washington, where the first proprietor used the in- side as a residence, having hollowed it out for that purpose and put in a.full size front door, which s visible in-the photograph.

Most homes in Bemidji are. If you need a heating stove or a range, why not make it a UNIVERSAL. On Monday, November 22, our cash register rung up sales on nine stoves, amounting in all to $350.

Flatner of the Barker Drug and Jewelry store has been added to our list of Universal stove users, he having bought a fine, large Peerless base burner. L. A. Larson of Nymore was among those who bought a faney Universal Oak heater the past week. Mrs. T. W. Bell had us install a big No. 700 Peerless heater, wihch is considered the very best stove made. J. M. Miles of Hines ordered a Her- ald Universal cook stove. C. C. Spencer of the Town of Northern drove away with a fine Radiant Universal range this week. And so it goes with the Universal stoves.
