RADFORD. | | Mr. Willlam A. Radford will answer stions 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 experlence as Ealtor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doudt, the highest authority, on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to Willlam A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairle avenue, Chicago, Il., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply, | Twenty years ago the farmer con- sldered a dugout or tumbledown shack sufficient protection and shelter for himself and family, The work of the farm was more important by far than the comfort of the folks. Farm homes were unknown quantities, given little thought and little attention. But times bave changed. Today the farm de- mands attention because of changing | conditions, Certain important factors are responsible for this change. In the first place the children rose up in rebellion because of the mo- notony and drudgery which faced thém day in and day out. The silent house- wife, carrying the burdens of an Achil- les on her shoulders, finally got tired. The two combined and forced changes which are now the rule rather than the exception. They demanded and got new, comfortable, cozy homes with modern conveniences and other de- lights that make homes worth while. Faced by an exodus of the children This space can: be eully converted Into sleeping rooms by the judlcl use of ‘wall hoard. ‘It'is the kind of home that should \be seen on all farms because it re- flects a progréssive spirit that will work wonders’ with farm life In gen- eral: All work and no play will make a_dull boy and that is what homes of this type will prevent. With the exception of the sleeping porch wing extending out over the drive the house is built on econdmical square lines, being 82 by 32 feet. The eféct of ¢harm has been gained with- out any unusuul expense and the con- structibn’ is® very sensible and sub- stantial throughout. There is no waste space in the arrangement and size of the rooms, yet there is no feellng of crowding. The kitchen which is one Second Floor Plan. of the most important rooms in any < home, but especially so in the farm home, is very modern in arrangement and equipment. No longer a large ungainly room requiring endless work to keep clean, this kitchen is a small | compact room convenient to the din- ing room where the meals aré served. A side entrance onto the drive is quite handy. More nttentlon is being paid to the small comforts:#md. conveniences of the farm home and with the devel !as soon as 'they reached their major- |1ty the farmer began to give the ques- Ition of home comforts some serious thought. The barn was not the'most important bullding. Home came first. That.is why we have homes like the “one shown here on many farms {in the country. There is something about this charming house that ap- |peals to everyone. It radiates com- (fort, spaclousness, cheer and satisfac- tion. There is the large roomy porch | with its protecting screens, a wonder- !ful retreat on the warm days; where !the family can rest after the day in ithe field. The house is stucco and {frame. The foundation is brick with {stucco on the first story and shingles |- ‘above to the roof. Extending out over the side driveway is a sleeping porch which 1is@n essential room in any home. .The driveway leads to an at- tructive little garage in the rear. ! On the first floor there are three . rooms—living room, 18 hy 13 feet, a very large and spacious room; dining room, 13 by 17 feet 6 inches, and First Floor Pian. kitchen, 15 feet 6 inches by 13 feet 6 inches. A small washroom Is immedi- ately oft the kitchen for the use of the men after completing their day’s work. The ample window sgce gives the house a very cheerful appearance and adds much to the brightness of ,the interior. | Upstairs are four comfortable bed- ‘rooms and bathroom, each bedroom ,having ample clothes eloset space. The ihathroom is equipped with modern ath fixtures, and running cold and ot water is provided by a water sup- ly. system. “ A ‘large high' attic pro- ides extra space in case it is needed. opraent uf el&u-m Hghting facilities {and ‘water supply the farm home Has become a real. place to live in. No | longer the bucket from the well or the ‘strenuous work of pumping it—now it -Tuns from a faucet in the kitchen, This home should be: insplrational to all farmers who are planning a new one in the near future. It suggests nany excellent ideas which shounld be incorporated. SUPERSTITION OF WHITE EGG Hard to Account for Widespread Fal- lacy That the Brown Shell Con- tains Inferior Product. Of all the food superstitions that cause high prices—and there are many—the white egg superstition is pointed out by C. Houston Goudiss, editor of the Forecast Magazine, as one of the most curious. “In nearly every section of the country,” says Mr. Goudiss, “there is a difference in the price' between the brown and the white egg. On a mo- tor trip through New Jersey recently I noticed that white eggs were bring- ing as high as 22 cents per dozen more than brown eggs. Why,, the | gods, who play with our fears and prejudices and laugh at us, only know. “The white egg costs no more to pro- duce than the brown egg. Exactly the sume feed is used to produce both eggs, Both are equal in food value. The only reason for a difference in price is a greater demand on the part of house- wives for the white egg. I once heard a Jewish housewife say it was more sanitary and on another occasion an American with no religious leaning in- formed me that the white egg' was a better egg, even the shell felt nicer. .Producers and dealers have been quick to capitalize this superstition. “Curlously. enough, in some of the large cities of the country, brown eggs bring a higher price than do white ones. I have heard this explained in these cities with the sage information that the brown egg is ‘stronger’ and more ‘meaty’ than the white egg.” Thirty Days. An athletic young fellow in Austra- Ila went on a tear and landed in the police court. The magistrate inquired what the prisoner’s occupation was. “He’s a'prefessional football player,” sald: his counsel. “He plays outside right for kis team.” “Oh, he dues. does he?” replied the magistrate. - “Well, - the change his posltlon‘ He'l side for the next month.” | ‘I matter, ana as proving that it is dif- | “I'ficult to find something new under the .| records that a general town mecting I SOME LOGIC; LITTLE REASON ! Examination P:non Turnea in by Youngsters Proved They Gave Thought to Questions, “Tell me all you know about cen- taurs.” The' response of one boy to thh demaiid in a recent examination was as follows: | “A centaur was anclent cavalry and | archery all in one piece.. He could not be knucked out of his saddle becnuse he didn’t ‘have any, being the samne persen as his horse. If he needed a stable he did not. need a tent, 1 do not know which, and it he needed for- | age he did not need rations, or if he | needed rations he did not need for- | age” Evidently the youngster who gave | that reply was of a military inclination, and bad thought out for himself the advantages of centaurs on the fighting line. ~ It was funny, but.not unin- telligent. Less original, with only one | little: slip indeed to mar -its accuracy. |8 the version of the schoolboy of the story of the Gorgons. | “Phe Gorgons,” he began confident- |1y, “were three sisters that lived in | the islands of the Hesperides, some- ‘where in the Indian ocean. They had | long snakes for hair, tusks for teeth | 1 and claws for nailg, und they looked | like women, only more horrible.” It was a little Boston girl whose | definition of the minotaur has long been remembered by the élder pupils in the school that she attended: | “The minotaur was a large bull { which lived on tributes in a laby- rinth, He was mythical, carnivorous and fond of young people.” EARLY AMERICAN BLUE LAWS | in”1643 the Idea of “Paternalism” Had | a’Distinct Hold on the | Communities. Inearly America the township and provincial ' authorities regulated pri- vate’conduct and personal affairs with | a rigor which, if sought to be applied now, ‘would raise a general and indig- nant outcry. What are called “blue | laws” ‘were familiar to our ancestors, and it would appear that they repre- | sented public opinion as to what con- | | stituted proper and seemly conduct | on the people’s part. | As bearing on the daylight saving | sun, the municipal authorities of Hart- | ford, Conn., have found among their | in ‘Hartford, October 24, 1643, voted | that there should be a bell rung by | the watgh every morning an hour be- fore daybreak, “and that they who are appointed by the .constable for that | purpose shall begin at.the bridge and 80 ring the ‘bell all ‘the way forth and | back: Master Moody (Wylihill) to every houseé one up and some lights | within one-quarter of an hour after the end of ‘the bell ringing, if they can, or else thei to be up: with lights afore- tioned: half an ‘hour before. day- llgh;, and for, defapit herein is to for- feit 1 gmlllng, 6 pence to be to him that finds him faulty and 8 pence to the town.” Grecian Shrines. It was at Falavrita that the begin- nings of ‘the Greek war for independ- ence- were made, and the tattered’ ban- ner which the Archbishop Germanus took with himn from his cell when he sallled forth to begin the contest i$ still kept as the sacred war banner of Hellenism and was brought out in much state at the begitning:of the war with Turkey. Another well-known shrine in Greece, and one which is most fre- quently visited by tourists, is that at Meteora, where the giant needles of rock are capped with extensive bufldings to which the venturesome may ascend either by rickety ladders set In the Interior ‘crevices or by means of a net drawn up by a creal- icg and primitive windlass. He “Fell for It” “Home,” says a contemporary, “is the place for real courtship.” It used | to be, in the duys of horsehair sofas | bullt for two, We remember ome be- side a window outside which & big rosebush perfumed the air. The sweet- ness of the girl, the beauty of the roses, and the balmy air of spring were an Irresistible combination.
