Officials Find Voters Obstinate.

Sioux Falls.-The county commits
sioners of Minnehaha county recently
adopted a motion to the effect that
they would pay a sliding scale of
compensation to all city or township
clerks who would secure the register
ing of 80 per cent Of the voters in
their jurisdiction. 1t is feared that
the plan adopted by the commission
ers will be given a setback by a sit
uation which confronts James Rid
dington, city clerk Of Dell Rapids, and
which may also exist elsewhere. City
Clerk Riddington in a letter to the
county auditor states that he will
make no effort whatever to ecure the
registering of voters in his city. He
gives as a reason that the only way he
could receive an compensation for his
services would be by securing the
names of go per cent of the voters of
the city. He points out that to accom-
piish this is an impossibility, as al
ready more than so per cent of the
voters of Dell Rapids have fatty re-
fused to register. Whether city and
township clerks in other sections have
a similar condition confronting them
has not yet been reported. Just why
voters should refuse to register is a
mystery, as they cannot participate in
the coming party primaries unless
they register.

Although we deplore the steadily
advancing prices of building material
n labor we are often reminded Of
u truth OF the old adage that there
1s no great loss without some gain.
In endeavoring to present houses that
all could afford, even at present
prices, we have learned to economic
IN ways that otherwise would not
have been thought Of. Particularly
is this true In regard to space that
heretofore has been wasted in angles
n ~irregularly shaped rooms. We
are learning that by making the rooms
compact we can accomplish as much
In a moderately proportioned house
as we previously did in houses much
larger. We gain much by throwing
the small rooms together with wide
openings, thus getting the effect of
large, airy apartments.
In these days of flats and apart
ment houses small families are not
accustomed to living in a great big
house with a parlor and sitting room
and ono or tuyn hop,h arc Tnncn-
quently the story and a half cottage
is becoming very popular, and the
bungalow even more so, having all its
rooms on one floor. One large liv-
able room is a splendid substitute for
the parlor and sitting room. The
small kitchen Is very popular among
the modern housewives, especially
among those who are accustomed to
the small ~kitchenette Of the fiat. The
small house diminishes the fuel bill
m Is much more easy to care for.
Many home builders are of the opin-
ion that pantry Is a waste Of space.
The c~upboards can be much more
conveniently arranged about the
Kitchen where they are in easy reach.
There is an independence about
owning ones home hat is not felt
when a rented fiat is occupied. And
there Is a pleasure about caring for
the lawn and garden, keeping the
place In order, that one who pays rent
does not have. Every time you go
out into the yard your chest expands
Just a little as you contemplate the
fact that you are treading your own

ground. There is nobody overhead
making a noise and nobody In the
fat below taking lessons on a piccolo.
The design here shown Is of a story
and a half cottage embodying many
of the ideas mentioned above. 1t Is
"a feet wide and has a length Of %
feet, exclusive Of porches. This house
has been designed especially for the
family of moderate e a that has an
ambition to own a home. 1t is not
expensive, and the best possible ad-
vantage has been taken Of the space
requirements. The cost Of this house
should not be above $4,000 complete.
The compactness of the design is
the noticeable feature about 1t. Both
of the porches, the front and the rear,
are under the roof. This adds much
to the artistic appearance of the
house, and In effect these porches
can be made outdoor living rooms by
the addition of screens between the
pillars. This will be a matter Of
small expense, and when equipped
with chairs, rugs and couches, either
swinging or stationary, will be delight
full places in summer evenings. AS a
matter of fact 1t is the experience Of
most families who occupy houses OF
this kind that nearly all the time is
passed On the porch.
This house al be built OF frame
construction and finished either with
siding or with plaster. We would
advise the latter as being ultimately
less expensive as to upkeep, for it
will require no paint, although cost
ing at the outset a little more than
siding. The ultimate cost will be
much less and besides the appearance
will be better.
Another attractive feature OF this
house is the bracket effect produced
under tho caves. It makes a finish to
the design.

the agency at the instigation of Col.
w. F. Cody. The battle was staged
and pictured on the same ground
where it vas originally fought, several
temporary houses and Indian tepees
having been constructed to add TO the
originality of the battle. These were
burned, with the train of wagons, in
strict accordance with history, and the
country contiguous to the agency was
a seething mass of activity. People
from a radius of so miles had congre-
gated to witness what is recorded in
history as one of the fercest and the
last Indian val in the United States.
The assistance of some of the same In
dams who participated in the battle
was secured and they played the same
parts that they took in the battle 90
years ago. Two troops from Fort Rob-
inson took part. The battle was re-
produced with the same accuracy in
