There the imagery is real; there death Is unknown, and the only riches are men's thoughts. With every age it grows in splen- dor. Dickens, Milton, Shakespeare, Hugo—these and countless others have left their all for those who travel there. The demands of existence have blinded some of us to- the joys that lle in such truvels.

To do this take a branch half ripe and cut a slit three Inches long. Take off all the leaves except the upper two and root it well In wet sand several inches thick, putting one and one-half inches of the slip under the sand. Keep this thoroughly moist. When the roots be- gin to grow put your plant, with its sand, into a pot provided with other soil. Some slips, such as oleander and Ivy, will root in water. “Macaroni Vers This Is a kind of humorous verse in which, with Latin as a base, words of other languages are Introduced, using Latin inflections and construc- tlons.

SOUARE SIX-ROOM HOUSE OF STUCE found | Handsome Home for a Family of Medium Size. iNTERIOR - WELL ARRANGED 'Exterlor Presents Exceptionaily Fine Appearance—Design Presents Dwelling That Will Not Cost Excessive Sum. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr, Willlam A. Radfora answer ! uosl’;.lvzl; :I’Im lvauldvh:e 3 Olz subject taining to ¢ eubject of bullding, for lglo:lnd.l!l of this paper.

That idea is regarding ’the size of the house. There was a |time not so many years ago when ipractically every one who bullt a house had in it a number of “spare” rooms. There was a parlor on the first floor that was seldom used un- less .there was company. A “spare” bedroom, or two, usually was jncor- porated Into the plan for the second floor. * Now there are practically no i“spare” rooms, while in the citles many homes and nearly all apart- | ments are constructed so that oue or 'two ‘rooms do double duty—are used daytimes as a llying room or a din- Ing room and by the use of concealed beds become bedrooms at night. i A home that contains sufficient room for a medium-sized family (s the six-room square bungalow, shown in the accompanying illustration. This |\ L 4e contains three good-sized bed- rooms on the second floor, so that a family of four adults easily can be accommodated, and by *“doubling up” there s room for & guest or two to stay over night. At the same time this home 18 small, being-only 81 feet | square. At the present cost of build- ing more room or a larger house than the needs of the family require Is sheer waste of money, and considera- ble of it In exterior appearance this home, with the outside walls treated is they are, and with the large porch, pre- sents an -exceptionally' fine appear- ance. The building is efther of frame, brick or hollow clay building tile con- structlon, with the exterior walls cov- Jeg handy to the kitchen, while at the same time it takes the mussy work of washing out of the room where the cooking s done. 5 The stair leads to a central hall on the second floor. Opening off the hall are three bedrooms, all corner rooms. They vary slightly in size, the largest being 14 feet 6 inches by 15 feet and the smallest 1} feet 3.dnches by 15 feet. The other bedroom is 13 by 13 feet 6 inches.” At one end of the hall is the bathroomn, while adjoin- ing it is a room fitted with closets and shelves for the storage of linen.

The basement should be divided into rooms; one for the heating plant, one for fuel storage and one for food storage, leaving room for the storage of lawn and gar- den tools and other things that usual- ly are kept In the basement.. Taken both from the standpoint of exterior beauty and convenient and commodious Interlor, this home build- ing design 18 excellent and will pro- vide a dwelling for the average fam- lly that will oot cost an excessive sum. Whenever those who have in mind the erection of a home see a home building design that appeals to them, one of thelr first thoughts is “what will it cost?’ Building costs are diffi- cult to estimate with any degree of accuracy, because so many factors en- ter into them. There is the question of shortage or abundance of the skill- ed lahor required to build a home; there is the great varjance of freight rates on the materials, and the loca- tion of the building site in relation to the source of material supply and lahor. ‘For those reasons it never is safe to say what &' home of a cer- tain design will cost. But it is an easy matter to secure estimates of cost. ‘The local artNitect, the com- tractors ‘who will be” asked to bid-on the building and the material dealers all .can give a pretty Rood estimate of ered with stucgo.

Without a doubt the most satisfac- tory method of securing a home is to build it. By building the owner gets a home of the right size for his family; its exterior appearance and interior arrangement will conform to his ideas of how a home should be laid out, and he will' be able to keep his requirements within the range of his financlal ability. This s the year of home bullding and every man of family who has been paying the high rents now de- manded ' is either bullding a home of his own or considering building one. While it is considerable of an under- taking to assume the financial obliga- tions necessary in most cases, when the home is finished, the owmer Is more than compensated. Answer Business Letters Promptly. Even though you are not a business person yourself business letters should be written with the utmost promptness ~—if not the day of their receipt, then the day after. For instance, if you re- ceive a letter from a stranger regard- Ing the rellability of a servant in your employ, you should answer at once. If you receive a letter from a business concern concerning some confusion in your account, that, too, should be written at once. The only person who can afford to neglect answering busi- ness letters is the person who has a business manager to attend to such watters for him. Butter Once Used as Ointment.

St 3G E'BEMIDI1 DAILY PIONEER. ~~ » |WAR TALK DYING AWAY IN JAPAN NEWSPAPERS J By Henry W. Kinney, (United Press Staff Correspandent) Tokio.— (By Mail)—While isolated quotations from speeches of states- men out of office may be printed. oc< casionally to prove apparently bellig- erent feelings on the part of Japan toward the United States there can be no doubt’ but that the people of Japan do not wish for war. Nor are they even vitally interested in the is- suesj which are supposed to make for war. This does not mean that it is at all impossible. to irritat> and insult jJapanese national pride that Japan may feel driven into, a fight, prefer- ring even to be beaten to accepting insult - without protest. But even though a few politicians anxious to make a case against the government imay be found in Japan who make |statements which appear very war- like, it seems apparent that, instead of interest and indignation against the United States in the matter of Japanese immigration to the United States increasing, the public is be-! ginning to tire of the matter. I At present the government is sit- ting tight, desiring that all matters connected with the California ques- tion be let alone, at least until such time as some definite outcome of the present Washington negotiations is at hand. The foreign office merely lets it be known that these negotia- tions are making satisfactory prog- ress. It is evident that it now feels that the matter has reached the point where the state department at Wash- ington ‘must feel out the senate to ascertain whether it will be safe to submit to that body such provs:ons which have been agreed upon between Ambassador Shidehara and the offi- cials of the state department. If it is deemed fairly. certain that the sen- ate will agree to these arrangements, the whole matter will be considered as | practically settled. If, on the ot" hdnd, it is decided that there is a fair chance of the senate’s turning down the proposal, it will not be sub- mitted at all, lest Japan’s pride be ex-: posed to further humiliation in the | eenate. Keeping the public quiet is, how- ever, not anything like as great a task as it was a couple of months ago. The Japanese are a volatile people. The great limitations of the franchise of itself operate towards hilling gen- eral interest in matters political, and the newspapers which stirred up most | of the row are seeking other subjects, only reverting to the California issue often’ enough to keep it from being forgotten entirely.

Recently it has been advocated that, as the women are not only Christians, but young, .they should' be allowed to disport them- selves after the manner of youth, and this has resulted in the innovation of dancing, card-playing, smoking -and theatricals. - On this account many have seceded from membership declaring / that these things are not compatible with the aim of the association. This has not altered the policy of the authorities. At most Y. W. C. A. assembly rooms the dancing contin- ues, as well as any other youthful pastimes the members care to indulge ,in. Broadened by war experience, nearly all sects of the Church today say Christianity does not necessarily mean Puritanity and many a return- ed minister is busying himself with arranging Sunday faotball matches village greens are thrown open to the yuuv;gg g;olk who have caught "the dancing fever. 5 The clergy declare that sermoniz- ing and text-reading are no antidote to the mischief that waits on “idle hands.” * | —— KK ERKXE AKX IREX * SPUR o * RIS TR S AEANR ' Ed Dushane and family spent Sun- day at Esther Krohn’s at Tenstrike.
