SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29-This
boy may be hung. He is Fred
Peterson. not yet II years of age,
the self-confessed murderer of Fred
Mulinix, a prominent Olympic club
athlete.
Stirred up by the thrilling tales
of Jesse James. and the blood and
thunder dramas of the stage, he
started out to be a bold and daring
bandit but now sits in a prison cell
weeping and lamenting. He seems
to realize he may sleep in a con-

Young Peterson claims he was

subject Of building for the readers of this

Houses are not as large as they
used to be, when measured by size
alone. The increasing cost of lum-

penses have induced many economies,
but inventing architects have made
better use of the smaller space, 50

study in this direction has resulted in
many improvements, both in design
and by way Of adding a multitude Of
small cOnVcnienccs.
Formerly little attention was paid
to the spacing Of doors and windows,
in order to admit of placing the fur
niture conveniently or artistically.
Only of late has the possibility Of a
small house for comfort and cOnyen-
fence been recognized. 1t requires
space at least four and half by
six feet to accommodate a good
sized, comfortable bed and this
space should not be interfered with
by placing windows or doors in the
way. The advancing price of coal
is another strong argument for a
small house. 1t is easy TO be com

there is always a crack or two where

windows are plentiful there is an in

the south side of the house. The hall,

will kill disease germs and 1t is the
best disinfectant known. Besides
this, bright sunshine induces cheer

a Godsend in any house.
In this dining-room connection is
made with the pantry, an arrangement
that some housekeepers prefer to
having a sideboard in the dining
room. 1t provides more room for an
opportunity to get behind the dishes
to arrange them on the shelves. This
arrangement is for utility, while toe
many sideboards are designed more
for looks than convenience. This ar
rangement looks all right, and it has
an additional advantage of not occu
plying any space in the room. Twelve

shape for a dining-room. 1t admits
of good, long dining table, without
wasting much room at the sides. A
square dining-room is not SO easily
arranged to advantage.

be sold gradually from month to
month, as required by the spinner at

further occasion nor inclination to pa

FARMERS JOURNAL JoTTINGS.

In some rural neighborhoods it is
almost necessary to go outside the
ranks of the farmers to find man
with sufficient literary ability to lead
out in any reform move. The allcot-
ton idea of farming is responsible for
this condition. The farmers in their
childhood days were in the cotton
patch when they should have been in
school, and this autumn day their chill
dren are bent over the rows picking
cotton while the children Of other
classes are bent over their tablets.
The Journal has no interest in a
farmers organization any further than
that organization tends to conserve
the interest of the farmers. It's the
farmers we're concerned about-not
the organization.
The farmers have the spectators
and the trust magnates at their mercy,
but the majority of them do not know
it.
When a political party exists for
its own sake and not for the country's
sake, that party has no right to exist
at all.
Through cooperation the people will
gain industrial liberty, and then will
they be truly free and independent.
The trusts will continue to grow in
number and power until the middle
class is practically extinguished, I'm.
less we, too, combine.
The Farmers Union will save the
most of competition among the farm
ers by destroying competition. II
means maximum production at mini
mum cost.
