such houses are very much in de-
mand on large farms. If farmers would
build houses like this and place them
in nice locations near the highways
they would have less difficulty in Sc
curing good farm help. One reason
why men object to farm work is that
their living accommodations usually
are about a hundred years behind the
times This is unnecessary. 1t is
time for farming communities to wake
up to the demand Of modern civiliza-
tion.
Houses built after this design look
very well when made of cement, and
it often happens that cement house
can be built in a village or country
place as cheaply or cheaper than wood.

WONDERFUL WORK OF DOGS
If These Are Not Inventions of Drum

The grocery drummer from Chicago
had just made some remarks about
household pets, which awakened a
memory in the mind of the agent from
the New York Bond house, out selling
securities:
