So we see that there are real econ.
omies which should be considered in

to a successful completion.
The advice and counsel of a reli.
able architect who has made a special
study of residence work is invaluable
in this connection. The writer has
been able to give practical advice to
thousands of home builders in every
part of the country that has saved
them great deal of money. In offer.

estimated to cost $4,000, he feels con.
fident that many helpful ideas, both

interior and attractive outside appear.

IN the job Really the safe way is

Home building is pretty apt to be a
matter OF sentiment, especially Tor
young people planning their first
house. They always have the ad-
rice OF a good many loving friends,
not to mention the efforts OF the real
estate dealers, to the effect that to
acquire a house by easy monthly pay
nents Is far greater business Wis
dom than to pay rent Yet, no matter
how strong and logical such arguments
may be. the fact remains that 1t is
sentiment that has the greatest intiu-
ence in making them decide TO build.
The Joy and satisfaction Of actually
owning a plot Of land and a snug lit
lie dwelling; the magic influence of
the word home" these are the things
that seem important
still. castles in the air have to be
brought down to earth before they can
be built II Is a great pleasure TO
dream of having a fine homo and to
make plans for all the luxuries OF
home building that sentiment might
inspire; but young people can't afford

slight, and the cost, both for the

Whatever other customs may

ever. Santa Claus may come by

money in these days that every one
should be interested in planning and
building a house as economically as
possible. There are some places
where it is good TO economize, other
places where economy is very short
sighted, and it is a strange thing that
the inexperienced builders usually pick
out those features to economize on
where the saving of a few dollars in
the first cost will result in hundreds
Of dollars of added expense throughout
the life of the building.
An instance of this is the heating
plant. One of the first parts of a
dwelling to be slighted, If any econo-
MIXING is to be done, is usually the
heating plant. Competition is so
keen between the heating contractors
themselves that they have got into
the habit of figuring the furnace size

to send a missionary abroad. The
contributions came so slowly the min

branch of the government on It's teeI'
has, like his co-workers in the other
new bureaus, been fitted for his pres
ent duties by practical experience IN
his special field. He was for years
consul at such points as Harput, Tur'
key; Salonika, etc.
It might be supposed that the new
Division Of Western European Affairs
could do much to stimulate American
trade in Europe, our commercial In
terests on the Continent having long
been well looked after by the most
capable men in our whole consular
service. but when it is explained that
this Western European Division will,
for instance, concern itself not merely
with Great Britain, France, ETC., but
with their colonies and with such rich
territory as Morocco, the Congo, ETC.,
it can be surmised that there are
great opportunities even in this
sphere. This division is under the
personal supervision of the Third AS
sistant Secretary of State, a post now
held by Mr.. Hale, son of the veteran
U. 8. senator from Maine.
Supplementing the work Of these
new geographical divisions in the re-
organized State Department, are the
activities Of what is known as the Blu.
reau of Trade Relations, the head Of
which is Mr.. John Ball Osborne, This
Bureau is to act as a sort of clearing
house for the vast fund Of informa'
ton which is continually being sent
home by Uncle Sans consular Off
GERS In all parts of the world. Not
only will the bureau publish and dis
tribute the reports made by the con-
suls everywhere, but any American
citizen who desires information from
any nook or corner Of the world can
write to the bureau and it will trans
NIT his questions to the U. S. Consul
at the point In question. That this
service is made use of extensively is
attested by the fact that this bureau
is receiving such letters of inquiry to
the tune of nearly 10000 a year.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-01-13

first assistant chief of this bureau,
William T. S. Doyle, has likewise had
wide experience in Pan-American
countries and accompanied the then
secretary of state, Elihu Root on the
famous trip around South America
which he made few years ago.
The Division of Far Eastern Affairs
has enlisted the services Of such ex-
perts as Ransford S. Miller, who was
for a long time secretary and in
terpreter of the American Embassy
in Japan, and Edward T. Williams,
who held consular positions in
Shanghai, Peking, Tientsin and else
where in ChiiSa. This division con-
serns itself with trade extension and
American interests in China, Japan,
Korea, Siam, Straits Settlements,
Borneo, India and the East Indies.
The Division of Near Eastern Affairs
concerns itself with American inter
ests in Germany, Austria-Hungary

n HICAGO. - Persons who attend
u moving picture shows will soon
have a chance to see the Chicago ro-
nance of Count de Beaufort thrown
upon the screens of and 10 cent
moving picture theaters The Count
has posed for a picture story Of his
affair with the Kilgallen heiress of
Chicago and says he is going to get
S25, 900 and royalties for the venture
The first scene shows the Count and
Countess in the homecoming act. Pa
Kilgallen is evidently surprised when
his daughter bounces in with her prize.
In the next scene the Count is shown
as a working man-just to win the
old mans favor. He Is switching cars
and the foreman is evidently telling
him if he doesn't like his job he need
not worry because he will be killed
before he has had time to become
really disgusted with it.
In the next scene the Count is
shown presenting fountain pen to
Pa. Pa tells the Count that the pen
Is of no use to him because he has
writer's cramp from signing checks
and the banks won't accept his rub
Der stamp signature. Pa changes the
subject and hopes the Count win find
it convenient to get out before it be-
comes necessary to fill his coat tails
full Of boots. OF course, the Count
doesn't pose as one of the brightest
men in the world, but he is bright
enough to catch the drift Of Pas re
marks and rift away.

itors is shown outside the Counts

his followers (being unable to enter
the house until all cases of blood
money between his people and the
MadaHgs had been settled) were
obliged to camp near the river for one
night The Madangs assisted in max
ing huts for my followers, gave them
several pigs and sent down their wom-
en- laden with baskets full Of rice, so
no want of hospitality could be said
to mar our reception. In the evening
I took a walk around the village, fol-
lowed by a crowd Of women and chill
dren, who appeared greatly pleased to
find that the white man was able to
converse with them.
Just across the river from where
we were sitting was the grave yard,
and there I witnessed funeral pro-
cession as the day was drawing to
close The coffin, which was a wood
en- box made from a tree trunk, was
decorated with red and black patterns
in circles, with two small wooden
figures of men placed at either end; 1t
was lashed with rattans to long pole
and by this means was lifted to the
shoulders Of the bearers Numbering
thirteen in alD, who then carried 1t
to the burying ground.
after the mourners had all passed
over to the grave yard, a man quickly
cut a couple Of small sticks, each
about five feet long and about
an inch in diameter. One OF
ese he split almost the whole way
down and forced the unsplit end into
the ground, when the upper part
opened like a V, leaving sufficient
room for each person to pass through
He next split the top Of the other
stick, and placing another short stick
in the cleft made a cross which he
also forced into the ground.
