out nearly as much expense as to
build anew. Planning q new home is
not a task of a minute and neither
should 1t be left entirely to the car
penter. 1t is quite true that the car
penter has seen many houses and has
good ideas but he too often plans a
house which Is easily constructed in
stead of one which is we'll and CON
veniently arranged.
The new home should be planned
for the convenience of the immediate
occupants, of course, but it should also
be permanently planned. That is, it
should be planned for the future. So,
in planning the home there are some
general rules which are common to
all families, and in addition the home
should be arranged to take advantage
of all that nature has to offer in the
way Of comfort and convenience.
The smell of hog yard no doubt
seems good to the man who has it
filled with So hogs, but when he goes
into the house to eat, he wishes the
wind would blow the other way. The
wind blows in certain, directions a
large part OF the year. so place the
house in a direction from the yards
and barns such that the least num-
Der Of winds Of the year blow across
the yard and then to the house. In
all parts of Nebraska the winter
winds are from the northwest, so do
not place the house under any circutn-
stances southeast OF the yards. The
summer breezes in the eastern part of
Nebraska are from the southeast and
in the central and western part they
are from the south, so avoid placing
the house north and northwest Of the
yards. This leaves the following
directions from the yards to set the
house: Southwest and west, north
east and east
The house should be on the most
slightly place on the farm. 1t should
also be on the best drained place.

Nebrask

When the early settlers located their
homes In Nebraska they assumed that
there would never be any fuel but
what they gathered along the creeks,
or any water obtainable except on low
ground. They did not know the pos
sibilites Of water from wells and they
did not know that trees would grow
and make windbreaks, so they built
their tiny homes down by the creek
out OF the way of winter winds, where
water was sure and fuel handy. But

feeling Of sympathy for the farmers
wife who lives the summer through
down behind the hill with no view
except across the yards to clay bank
with this same bank cutting of all
the cooling summer breezes. Not only

Is also shut off from looking out over

Mrs. Estella Kimmel today faced him
for the first time since their dra.
matte meeting in the prison at Au.
burn N. V, four years ago
why mother. don't you know me?"
the man who claims to be Kimmel
exclaimed as the woman entered the
home Of cousin where the man OF
mystery has been acknowledged as "A
relative. AS he spoke he stepped
forward with arms extended but tho
woman recoiled and responded:
I'm not so sure about that" Then
she subjected "Kimmel" to a cross
examination that went into details of
her sons early life and school days
in Niles. She asked him why, IL no
was her son, he had not written to
her during the many years he was
away from his birthplace.
1t was more dramatic than tho for.
mer meeting between the two. After
Mrs. Kimmcl's rebuff today the man
exclaimed:
How can you say such thing,
MOTHER"
She Cross.Examlnes Him.
Then they sat down facing each
other and the fire of questions began
behind closed doors. He was asked
his age, birthplace, several questions
about his father, where he went to
school, and why and when he left
Niles.
Mrs. Kimmel is not ready to deny
fatty that the man is her son, neither
will she admit that his claims are
just. When she saw him in Auburn
she was emphatic in her denunciation
OF his claims.

1.-THE Aviator" On the STAGE.

The aeroplane interest in the lit
erature of the day will do much to
make the public familiar, not only
with aviation terms and technical
questions, but with actual progress
in the science. 1t will tend to dimin-
ish the common fear of flying. Every
mention of the machines for navi-
eating the air in story or play, even
jokingly, is step forward in the
public eye. For speaking constantly
for or against some certain object
stand just what it is. Were it posi-
BILE, we would mention several short
stories, here which contain aeronau-
tic interest, but these are too numer-
Gus. Only one play has been written
however, where aviation interest is
sustained throughout. There are sew
eral short sketches now on the vaude-
vile stage, but The Aviator" as it
was produced last fall in New York,
was the first real play to apear. The
story and play will certainly tend to
aeroplane advancement, although
much of the comedy is derived from
the possibilities of accident to the
hero who finds it imperative that he
must fly a monoplane when he has
had absolutely no experience. That
he should finally go up and make
good with a seventy mile flight is of
course impractical in real life, but
more than allowable in a play. This
excellent comedy with a real Bleriot
XI monoplane will be at the Audi
forum next Tuesday evening, Sep

Mr.. Mcbride purchased $4,000 worth
of money orders from the American
Express company in Omaha. When
he presented them for payment at
Elgin he was able to collect only $500.
Before the additional S1,7O0 was ship

case is now pending in this condition.

rules as are provided in the Nebraska
