An attempt has been made during
the past year or two to lower the ap-
parent height Of squared built two-story
houses. So many cottages have been
built of late that the eye is becoming
accustomed to lower dwellings and
they are growing in popularity be-
cause there are many homelike fea-
lures about such houses that high
two-story houses lose. Most people
like to keep near to the ground.
Three-story houses, that were so COM
mon 20 years ago, are now seldom
built.
There is a business reason for low
er houses as we'll as a sentimental
one. The fact is that although build
ing materials are somewhat cheaper
this year than last they still cost a
great deal more money than of old,
and labor also is more expensive. The
higher you go into the air the greater
the cost, and this is one reason why
architects like to keep dwellings as
low as Is consistent with good results.
When, fortunately, sentiment and a
low roof are both on the side of
economy 1t is easy to cater to a popu-
lar fashion.
A six-room house on the square or
der with rather fancy roof is shown
in the accompanying design. Some
people object to plain pyramid roof,
such as we often see on houses of
this shape, and this plan seems to get
around the difficulty without adding
expensive dormers that are of no
special use.
This design is 26 feet inches wide
and 27 feet inches long, exclusive

a fourth of a cupful of butter, a fourth
of a cupful of sour milk, teaspoonful
Of Eoda dissolved in a half cupful of
boiling water, with two squares Of
chocolate grated and added, the last
thing, one egg well beaten, and one
and a fourth cupfuls of -four. Bake in
layers and put together with boiled
frosting.
Spanish Bun.-Soften two-thirds of a
cupful Of butter and add two cupfuls
of sugar, one cupful Of sour milk and
four we'll beaten eggs, two teaspoon
fuls of baking powder, cupful of
chopped raisins, a teaspoonful Of
cloves and two of cinnamon. Bake in
a large fat tin and ice while warm.
Do not be afraid to use the baking
powder with the sour milk, the flavor
Is delightful
Roll Jelly Cake.-This is very sim
pie cake to have good, but many find
them difficult to roll. Be careful of
the baking and if there is any brown
on the edges trim them so they will
not crack when rolled. Take two eggs,
beat well; add a half cupful of sugar,
half cupful of flour, teaspoonful
of baking powder and a tablespoonful
of water the last thing.
krimmeI Torta.-Put a half pound
each of dates and walnuts, quarter
of pound Of figs through the meat
chopper, three tablespoonfuls of bread
crumbs and six eggs well beaten
folded in at the last. Bake very slow
ly in layers or loaf, cover with
whipped cream and serve.
When carefully kept this may be
served as a pudding adding the fresh
whipped cream when serving it.

Extinct Trees.

The ancient vegetation which grew
In South Carolina and Georgia during
Upper Cretaceous and Eocene time
or, as biologists state, at least several
million years ago-included the Sc
quota or big tree" now confined to
the Pacific coast. Also there were
three kinds of araucarias or Norfolk
island pines, which at the present
time live only in South America and
Australia; a pine with the leaves In
clusters of three as in the living pitch
pine, aud a number of cypress-like
trees which we're once widely spread
over the world but are now extinct.

Isle" And its output amounts to only
six tons day.
In addition to this plant there are
two breweries, chilled-meat concern
and butter factory which use Ice
making machinery. The use of ice
for domestic purposes is virtually I'M
heard of, owing to the mild tempera-
lures which prevail naturally through
out the summer months. The high
est temperature recorded in County
Cork in the last three years was TIA
degrees. That was in July Of 1911.
July is the hottest month, with maxi
mum temperatures averaging between
sixty and seventy degrees.
For the preservation Of meat in
summer it is customary to use meat
screens" or cages, sometimes as elab-
crate as large refrigerator. These
receptscles are fiy-proof, and are
placed in cool and drafty place.
In these the Irish housewife places
her meats, milk, butter and other
articles of food, which in this country
would have to be kept in refrigera-
tor.
A few years ago an American bar"
was opened in Cork, which made a
specially advertised feature OF iced
drinks. 1t failed. The only con-
sumption Of fee is by ice-cream
manufacturers and shippers OF fish
from the western coast to foreign
countries or to England. The vast
majority of meat dealers do not find it
necessary, and it is seldom If ever
used in the serving of liquors.

of the porch. A house of this size
built full two stories in height looks
higher than it really is and the effect
is not pleasing, By carrying the. roof
down few feet at the corners in this
way the postlike effect is removed
and we have a much better looking
house without materially increasing
the cost. The saving in lumber will
about make UP for the extra work on
the upper windows, and you get splen-
did light upstairs as we'll as down;
another advantage which comes from
lowering the roof.

giving little more protection on cold

done. Mosquitoes are bad In all parts
OF the country during. certain seasons
and it is worth a great deal to have
a porch screened from the pests.

Incidentally he will report those

that his function primarily is not to

Undoubtedly this is a step in the

There is feeling among rail

Very likely if men can be brought

excellent crop production. Cotton
and corn, wheat and oats, alike are
raised, and the stock interests are
among the foremost in the West.
The success Of this field has mani
Tested itself in the history Of in
vestments made through period
Of years. One insurance company
has over 100000 in Oklahoma
farm loans and is increasing its in
vestments in that state. There are
many large loan companies that
handle millions in far loans and
their record is phenomenal for
the slight losses.
Yet interest rates are strong and
the demand for money is active.
Two elements 60 into the Okla
homa loan field that make for
strength.
One is the character Of the people.
They are among the most energetic
Of the Vests population. They have
the ability to get the most out Of
the soil The other Is the climatic
and soil conditions that bring good
crops and in almost every year give
the farmers : profit.
Labor is cheap, many negroes b.
ing available for help. The warm
winters make tho expense Of fuel
and clothing lighter than up North
and the long seasons give . chance
to diversity crops.
Land values have steadily risen
all through the state, until they are
today standing at 3 figure that u
likely to remain. Yet there is NO
boom value. That has long ago
been squeezed out and the land is
on an income basis.
In the eastern half Of the state
is what was, until five years ago,
the Indian Territory. Here the In
dian rights are to be considered, but
they are rapidly becoming available
for the owner, and the whites are
taking the place Of the redskin.
Fine towns are growing up and
schools and churches are being built.
The loan companies are. making
loans here less extensively than in
the central section, but they will
eventually make this one Of their
leading fields.
The Oklahoma farm loan is well
established among careful investors
and is gaining prominence as the
state comes to fuller prosperity.
The present season promises to be
one Of the best in the state 3 his
tory, and with good wheat crop,
it will have marvelously prosper
