BUNGALOW MAKES - FINE FARM HOME Has All Comforts and Conveni- ences of City House. NO WASTE ROOM IN THIS gHomes of the Type Shown in This ! Design Would Stop the Wholesale ' Exodus of Young Folks to i Crowded Cities. By WILLIAM_A. RADFORD. ! Mr. Willam A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF ‘COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience ‘@s Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to Willlam A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie ‘avenue, Chicago, 1ll., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply, “Keep. the boys on the farm,” is the cry from. public- speakers, magazine writers and welfare workers all over .the country. “We must stop this wholesale exodus to the crowded cit- !fes"—etc,, but in most cases these ‘well-meaning people overlook one of the fundamental causes of this drift .to the cities. Farm boys would stay ;on the farm if there was not some- Ethlng radically wrong, and if you in- ivestigate the case of the young man iwho leaves his father and mother to live in the great crowded city, you .will almost invariably find that condi- ,tions existing about his home were .such that he could not help but leave. Very often it is the drudgery which :he was forced to endure because of ‘antiquated methods in the farm build- .ings, and very frequently it is the ifarm home that is directly responsi- :ble. Too often this important factor ‘in farm life has been neglected, too often it has been merely a shack or shelter with little convenience and comfort. If more farm homes were ‘built on a modern basis there would .be little need for propaganda, articles jand speeches to exhort the boy to /stay at home. A comfortable home iwould be the most powerful attrac- .tion that could be offered. . i That is why a cozy bungalow home of the type shown here with floor pllns would be just the .thing for many farms. It has all the conveni- ences of the city dwelling, all the com- forts that make an ideal home and all the features that are needed in a farmhouse. Moreover, it deviates from the hide-bound tradition pertain- ing to farm home architecture, It eliminates - the .great waste of room which is so often found in farm homes and which means so much extra and _unnecessary work for the farmer's wife. There is as much drudgery con- nected with the poorly and improper- [ ly constructed home as there is with an inefficiently designed dairy barn. Unless care is shown in the arrange- ment and size of the rooms the house- ‘wife will find herself burdened with a mass of onerous work that could just as well have been avolded. With an attractive home like this ‘on the farm the boys and girls have a real recreation center after the tasks of the day, a place where the ‘family can gather and enjoy the leis- ure moments in real peace and com- fort. ‘This charming bungalow rm-m home has six good-sized rooms and asleep- Jing porch, also a washroom, which has come to be an essential room in the modern farm home. It eliminates the tramping through the kitchen by the help after their day’s work. The exterlor of the house is quite pleas- ng' with its broad siding, asbestes shingle roof and quaint colonial en- ‘trance of white. There is plenty of .window space to make the rooms light and airy, The entrance leads into a small re- ception hall which opens on one side into the living room, on the other into & bedroom. At the far end of the re- ception hall is the stairway leading upstairs and to the cellar. The living room is a Jarge room, 21 feet 6 inches 4.1 13 Ioet, wlth t.riple v\lndo\\s on two sldes Insuring & good supply of nat- wral light and fresh air. It is con- nected with the \dining room by an oorway. The dining room s ahout the same size as the living room, It is connected with the kitch- en at the rear by a swinging door also opens into a side hall at the right. The kitchen is one that will delight any housewife's heart, for it is small and compact, but ample for every need. At one corner is a small pan- try, immediately adjacent is the wash- room which can be used as a laundry, if so desired. The bathroom, modern in every detall, 1s located off the hall which runs from the kitchen to a rear bedroom. Off the main central hnll running along the dining room is an- | other large bedroom, 16 by 10 feet 6 inches. All of the bedrooms, of ‘which there are three, have excep- tionally large clothes closets. The front bedroom, 12 by 13 feet, off the froitt reception hall, also opens out on- to the sleeping porch, which is 9 feet .6 inches by 13 feet. This sleeping {porch has window walls on three sides and should be an. excellent place to sleep in the warmy sultry summer months. A home like this should be the rule, not the exception, on the farms of the country today. Gradually this type is gaining a foothold and we look for- ward to the time when such a thing as propaganda to keep the boys on the farm will be unnecessary. Home comforts are being emphasized in both city and country because the impor-| tance of the home in community life | 1s recognized. More and better homes are what the people want and this Is certainly the case in rural ¢enters. VAIN SEARCH FOR WEALTH | Spanish Priest Braved Death Terrible . Form In Quest of Fabulous E! Dorado. Although separated from Mexico by the Rio Grande only, Texas was not colonized by the Spanish until the end of the Seventeenth century, John Chzpman Hilder in the Ladies! Home Journal. Prior to this time there were two important voyages of dis- covery in the North, but such were the’ difficulties and so great the distances that they ended in faffure. The first notable expedition into the vast un- known country that we know today as Arizona, New Mexico and Texus was the amazing journey of Fray Marcos de Niza, between 1539 and 1541. He was sent by Antonio de Mendozn, then i Igovernor of New Spain, to seek seven fabulous cities, tales of whose wealth had reached MexicoCity/ vig: the In- dians. These stories wefg corrohorat- ed. by one Cabeza de Vaca, who had been shipwrecked on an island off the Texas coast and who, gaining the mainland a year later, only to:be seized by Indians, finally escaped with three companions and, lafter years of wandering through the wilds found his way back to his own pzople. On the journey he had heard of north- ern cities Incrusted with turquoise and paved with gold and silver. It was these that Mendoza expected Fray Marcos to find. Accompanied ! by a negro who had shared De Vaca’s experiences, and by some friendly Pima Indians, the brave friar four-! ine\cd through Arizona to the Zunt | country, Stories of the treasure he} might expect to find increased in | promise as he progressed. But sudden- 1y, when . he thought himself within easy reach of the promised land, word | came from ahead that his advance | guard had, been murdered by hostile | Indians. Lacking support,- moral or | materlal, the friar became discouraged | and returned empty handed to Mex- | feo City. Machine Reads Character. The phrenoscope is an, X.ray ma- chine by which your individual clar- acter and characteristics ‘may be read. It was shown before the members of the Collegé of France recently by Dr. | George Maingot, the Inventor. The | doctor says: “Each of our gestures expresses in very .incomplete fashion what s in- dividual in us. Only one gesture or motion is wholly unconstrained—res- piration. That was our first act in/ coming into the world, and has always restrained Its spontaniety. Therefore, by observing it, I can tell positively a man’s character.” “If" in 125 Languages. | “If,” the poem ‘of Rudyard R!pllng’ which TLord. Kitchener included, in| the manual of military instruction ror, his “first - hundred thonsand,” 'has | been translated into 125 languages, | including many of the more obscure tongues as well as the world's great literary languages.

Old London is full of anclent old squares, many of them tucked away where you least expect them, and not a few of them containing houses that in course of time, and by reason of the many grim and harrowing events they have witnessed, are regarded as haunted, But hauntings are occaslonally in- fectious, and ghosts sometimes wan- der, hence it so happens that not in- frequently when one wanders through one of these ancfent and remote squares at night—in:the dead of night, mind —one encounters something that can- not ' altogether be explained by the physical.

In the career of every artist there comes a supreme moment when he or she must choose between two serv- ices—the service of art ‘or the service of self. While the artist is actually studying and qualifying, this cholce Is hardly offered; he is all artist then, because he is learnipg and try- ing to grasp and achieve a command of his art; the .artist is always a learner, and the true iearner is in some degrec .ap . artist.. But wita achievement. and mastery come recog- nition and applause, come oppor- tunity and power. The artist has be- come a master;-a:teacher, endowed with that subtle quality that lays the world at his bidding, when he may either make his followers glorify him or glorify his art., 'The choice is between serving his art or making it serve him. For the artist who re- mains trae there can be no choice; he must go on serving and learning. —TFilson Young. _BEMIDJI AUTO CO. OLAF ONGSTAD, Prop. 416-20 Minn. Ave. Bemidji, Minn. .
