1t Will be fireproof throughout. and
the brick front, following the Queen
Anne style CT architecture. will be elabo-
rately trimmed in limestone.
The building is to be three stories

number than this could be provided for
by putting two in each room
The first floor is to be devoted 20 an
entrance hall. board room, recreation
room. office, kitchen and dining room.
In addition to the bed chambers, the
second and third floors will contain sep
patients of each sex. The basement

ing is arranged SO that additions ma y
be, made at either end without inter-
fering with the architectural effect.
The plans were drawn by Charles Ma
son Remey. and Kendall & Smith are
the supervising architects. Frank l.
Wagner is the contractor.
Plans have been accepted and the con-

struction material, because of the neces-
sity for saving every spare inch.
The property belongs to Henry w.

How Good Roads Pay
Told by Government
Price Of Farm Lands Increases Ran.
idly In Ratio to Highway
Improvement.

WASHINGTON. Sept 27.-The di-
rect effect that changing bad roads
into good roads has upon land values
and marketing prices. as well as the
general economic welfare of the com
munity. is shown in several concrete
Illustrations which were gathered bv
the United States Department of Ar
rtculture. In Lee County, Virginia. a
farmer owned 100 acres which he Of
fered to sell for $500. In 1905 his
road was improved, and although the
farmer fought the Improvement. he
has since refused $4,000 for his farm
In Johnson County, Alabama, the
people voted 4 bond issue for S25O.O
for road improvement. The selling
value at that time was Sc to SIS per
acre. The selling price is now from
SIS to S25 per acre.
In another State two farmers liy-
ing at equal distance from a cotton
market learned by telephone that cot
ton had gone up in price 81 per bale.
The farmer on the bad road hauled
one bale of cotton, which was all he
could get over that road The other
farmer on the good road was able 10
haul four bales. The man on the good
road gained 81 by the rise in price
while his neighbor on the bad road
gained only 81.

Texas Expects Good
Profit From Crop
Lessened Cost Of Handling and High
sr Prices May Make Return
Equal to 1912.

Texans estimate their State will
clear almost as much from 10000
bales this year, at IL IL cents, as 1t
did last year with 5,50O,000 bales at 10
cents.
The crop Of 1912 paid s275, 900. 900.
This years should bring $3.50, 900, 900.
Here is a shrinkage of $4,000 600,
Which must be overcome to prove the
contention. They go about it in this
way:
When the crop is heavy labor is
hard to get and wages advance until
the cost of picking cotton is raised
from about rs cents a hundred pounds
to somewhere between 80 cents and
81. At 81 per hundred the gathering
Of $500 600 bales would cost S27, $780,
600, while 100000 bales could be
picked for 100000 at 1915 a bale,
the saving in the smaller crop being
S12, 500, 900 in the wage account.
Ginning costs of SO per bale would
require 6,500.000 for the large crop
and $12,00O,0 600 for the small yield.
These two items taken together total
7,0000 600.
The remaining $s,OOO,O00 necessary
TO balance crop values of the two
years could easily be represented by
the cost of extra labor in handling
the large crop before it is marketed
and In the value of food for the great
er number OF hands in the picking
season
