BOOM THE CITY.

Now is the time for every good
citizen to begin his Nineteen seven
crusade as a boomer. Boom Lam
caster every opportunity you get.

systematic booming will help any
community and Lancaster gives the

The prosperity Of a town is not
guarded by the wealth OF its in
labitants, but the uniformity with
which they pull together when any
important undertaking is to be ac-

love for town in his heart can do
more for its upbuHding than the

A cottage house 35 by 81 feet is
given in this plan. This length is
sufficient to provide for good large
rooms and to arrange them very
nicely.
The location Of bathroom in q
cottage has always given architects
great deal of trouble. You don't
want bathroom near the parlor, nor
the din1ng-room. and 1t is not always
convenient TO have 1t open off the
kitchen. Some architects solve the
problem by leaving out the bathroom
altogether, but most persons need a
bath occasionally, at least civilization
has worked at the problem hundred
years or SO, and has finally decided
that it is better to take bath once
III dNuIiC WhCthSl yOu utSu IL vi HOt.
A good many jokes have been sprung
to illustrate the point, and they may
have had some influence. 1t any rate
we seldom see a good house nowadays
without bathroom, and we never
find person who is willing to do
without one after having once en-.
joyed the luxury. The bathroom in this
house opens off from the kitchen, but
there is also a door entering from the
back bedroom. so that there are as
many advantages with as few disad-
vantages as possible in cottage
house.
This plan is designed for comfort
able home for a small family. It may
be built in town or on a farm, and
be thoroughly satisfactory for either.

every direction come reports that the
harder grains and fruits are doing
well, and in the winter wheat region
the prospects are particularly cheer
Ing. The New York Tribune has made
careful inquiry in the great grain-pro-
ducing states, and announces that
"the years wheat crop will be a
bumper one, despite reports of bugs
and drouth;" that Kansas, the fore
most wheat-growing state, has the
largest winter wheat acreage ever
planted, with the growing grain classi-
fled at 100, or perfect condition; that
Iowa is planning for the greatest har.
vest ever gathered there; that in Ne
braska the condition of winter wheat
Is 100, while Minnesota and South Da.
kota seem certain of big yields, with
increased acreage and plants in un-
usually fine condition. In some parts
of the middle west there has been a
slight falling off, and in Texas and
Oklahoma some damage by bugs has
been wrought, but the general outlook
is most reassuring. And big year
for crops means steadiness and conf
dence in commercial circles.
