HOME GROWN
WATERMEL0NS
THE CROP THIS YEAR RATHER
LATE AND SMALL ON AC-
COUNT OF WEATHER.

Home grown watermelons are rath-
er slow In coming onto the market
this season, the weather having been
rather unfavorable to them. There
have been a few, just a few, sold in
city, and they were rather on the
small order In comparison with the
product of last year. There will be
no such crop as that of 1911, for
some time In all probability.

which, it is hoped. will lead prospective

There is great deal OF sameness about
American homes that is quite noticeable
to the student of such things Colonial
homes although some are small and
some large, some inexpensive and some
very elaborate all follow well known
principles of designs that give to- all
suggestion of similarity The same is
true Of the English domestic style, the
mission style and Bungalows,
There is gradually being evolved, how
ever in the country a style that follows
no very well defined lines, which bor-
rows sometimes from many styles, but
which above all other things has about
it that undefinable quality, which we
call home like Sometimes we call II
picturesque and anything which is both
picturesque and honlellke must neces-
sarily be artistic for art. especially when
applied to architecture, is the expression
in material form of ideals.
That home, which looks the most home
like, is the most perfect as an example
Of domestic architecture, the same as
that building which is intended to be a
capitol building, a court house, an offic
building, a school or flat building and
which expresses In It's design the object
of its existence in the most apparent
and artistic way is perfect piece of
architecture
Amateur designers are apt to criticize
anything along original lines and them
selves invariably follow the well known
established styles for the reason that 1t
Is a safe road to travel. But those who
design from book knowledge, while their
work cannot be criticised. 1t lacks the
life, the character Of the attractiveness
that designs have that come from the
heart. Every architect knows that de-
sgners are in two classes. one class Is
the good mechanical craftsman, who
makes neat drawing, whose pride Is
mostly In the appearance Of that draw
ing when finished and one who designs
on paper. In the other class are often
men who are not the neatest craftsmen,
whose drawings do not. present quite
as attractive appearance when finished,
but who design in their heads and hearts
picturing in their imagination the finished
structure and merely put upon the draw
ing tnat which is necessary In the way
