TAKING A FAMILY
BACK TO THE SOIL
Being the Experiences OF Gov.
to Lower the High Cost Of
Living.

The recent cool weather brought us to
realization that the real test of life in
the country is now almost Immediately
before us. Will the coming. of another
summer find US still enamored of bucolic
existence. or will zest for things rural
have been frozen out of us?
Everybody. just about. likes to go to
the country in the summer, to escape the
swelter of the city. When the asphalt
is soft beneath your feet and brick walls
store up heat all day and vomit it forth
all night, the city has lew attractions to
score against green fields and grateful
shade, the absence of dust and noise, the
soft breeze Of evening and the peace and
glory of moonlight nights. But when the
north wind comes, searching out thf
marrow in your bones. the city offers
you ready heat and light and the comfort
there is in the herd, whether of humans
or Of the lower animals.
1t is true that we had some bad weather
last March, after we had come to Sunny
Knoll, but winter then was far in its
wane and discomforts were easily en-
dured because We knew spring was close
at hand. Winter is now, or soon will be,
coming into his own. and the months of
his reign are going to be long and dreary
ones.
Some of our neighbors--our more
fortunate neighbors, perhaps-are al

condition Of the south Immediately fol-
lowing the civil war. The quest of a
hidden treasure is the original source
from which the manifold concerns Of
the stirring adventure radiate. Time
out of mind this has been the all-pow-
erful motive for assembling strange
companies. And SO it is here. Ducie-
hurst is the fine old plantation house
of the Ducies. Abandoned under the
stresses of war, and subsequently neg
lected under the cloud of a disputed
title, Duciehurst at the time of this
tale energies suddenly into importance
under the persistent rumor that some
where in or about it a great treasure
lies concealed. Bands Of thieves and
ruff1anly ne'er-do-wells swarm about
the enchanted place. A pair of fine
young Ducies appear acclaiming title
to Duciehurst: A recent purchaser is
at hand disclaiming their right. A
very complicated love episode also pre-
sents it's case in this adventure. Plots
and counter-plots meet and intertwine.
Mystery and suspense abound, up to
the time when this practiced writer
feels fit to let the tangled threads go
free, in quiet and happy solution of
every problem and perplexity. This is
not story of simple lines. 1t makes
use of many characters, sustains Il
plot, involves many situations.
1T demands much Of the
writer, in the way of character draw
ing, in control Of the rational Sc

The Bungalow.

THE word bungalow" which we
I have adopted into our language.
Is. of Indian origin. it is an Anglo
Indian version OF the Hindu bangla,
which primarily means Bengali, or of
Bengal, and is applied also to thatch-
ed hut. The English adoption Of the
word came about in this way:
The first British residents in India
engaged in military. administrative or
trading duties. living a nomadic life
for the greater part. of, the year in
tents. Since there. was nothing in
the native buildings of Bengal suited
to their requirements, their first dwell
ing houses, designed by themselves and
quilt of materials at site. were naru-
rally planned on the model Of the In
dian service tents to which they were
accustomed-that is, to a large ana
lofty room surrounded by double walls
of canvas inclosing space between
them, with partitions az two or more
corners for bath or storerooms.
In the. beginning the, tent itself was
occasionally covered with the sun
proof thatch or bangla.z The name and
the thatch were aA that were taken
and now the origin OF the name Ia for,
gotten even by most Inoiaas, who &C.

And It Is upon this innovation that
Mt. Brady depends for fresh interest
In. q much worn. theme. The angel in
the case here. is of the small-boy
variety. Olaf. a waif from the east,
dropped by chance at Canyon creek,
becomes almost at once the center Of
such activities as become matters Of
record in this adventure. The mining
camp features Of this story follow the
formula set by Bret Harte, a formula
from which there has not yet been
any appreciable deviation. Gambling
astonishingly spontaneous gun-play,
marvellous hair trigger performances,
murder, summary Justice, involving
no more than q rope and the limb OF
a tree to make it carry across-these
make the round of the mining-camp
story. By means of Olaf and the Nor
risons, a Christian family that came
to the camp to live not long after
Olaf alighted there. the adventure
takes a new turn. 1t becomes through
this new strain the record of cleaning
up a mining camp. in fact, a social
welfare story, with the flavor Of a
Sunday school clinging to its closing
chapters. Another fresh feature OF
the novel is that there is no suspicion
of the miners love story about 1t. In
effect it. combines something of the
qualities of THE Lick of Roaring
Camp" on. the one hand and Of The
Sky Pilot" on the other.

meet these urgent fancies, and at the
same time to turn them to some living
account, she makes q most Ingenious

death Of her beloved twin sister. I'm

into the company Of the greatest of

can be given to the poetic and tender
and practical use that Miss Laughlin
makes of the story of the Maid Of Or
leans to meet the romantic emotions
of every girl in the world, and at the
same time to change these into the
current coin-into the homely pennies
and nickels and dimes-of plain every

particular. Mrs. Perkins, out Of her
soft heart, makes him her housekeeper.
Hiram markets and cooks and waits
table and is a splendid maid Of all
work. Mary Ann becomes devoted to
the new servant And the opposition
falls upon Mrs. Perkins in a whirlwfnd
Of censure and scandal that makes her
advocacy of the rival politician as mild
as a cup Of weak tea. At this point
the genuine Hiram energies out of
many years of philandering. And one
joins with Mary Jane in alteration of
a PA" who can so quietly and eff
cectually put a stop to the turmoil
that was undoubtedly overwhelming
the editor of the Clarion. This is a
good story from every point Of view.
1t Is a good play-compact, full of

it ought to be as entertaining as it
indisputably is In the reading.

THE NIsADvENTURES OF JOSEPH.
By ]. J. Bell, author of Wee Mac
greegor," etc. New York: Fleming
H. Revell Company.
Given in any neighborhood bach
elor of such lovable strain as the Jo-
seph Of these misadventures possessed,
and the story would repeat itself in
definitely. Joseph is of the sort that
every mother hurries to name her man
child after. And every child. arrived
at the toddling stage, filings himself
upon Joseph, until the man looks like
some strange movable tree trunk, upon
which all sorts Of wriggling, squirming
things have swarmed. 1t Is to Joseph's
irresistible charm for children and
their mothers, and to- the number Of
children living round about him, that
readers are in debt for this hilarious
story of good cheer, and. better still,
for an acquaintance with one Of the
kindliest, winningest, wisest men that
ever wandered through the pages of a
little story.

position entirely too well to be rulled
into any such belief.
AS mater of fact, the committee on
marketing hasn't got very far with
its investigation. A number of retail
dealers with whom we talked appeared
interested. but were disposed to wait
until we were in position to submit
some definite proposition. In other
words. they DOM seem inclined to be-

go ahead and complete our organiza-
ton and bring in our goods. Then
they'll look over what we have to Of

good deal one-sided and not very en-
couraging. But, as one merchant point

they are not in business for their

| MARY JAMES PA. A Play in Three
Acts. By Edith Ellis, author of
Mrs. B. O'Shaughnessy (Wash
Lady,. etc. New York: Mitchell
kenner1ey.
The story upon which Miss Ellis
based this play is thoroughly modern
in spirit and plausible in substance.
A wife, two children and a husband
are the chief persons engaged here.
The husband dreamer. a student,
lazy, irresponsible and beset by the
wanderlust-has, many years before
the story opens, betaken himself to
parts unknown. Neither the children
nor the townspeople know of his ex-
istence. The wife is owner and editor
of one of the town papers, the Clarion.
BY this means she supports herself and
he two girls. The play concerns it,
self with the fight put up by the
Clarion in political campaign against
the wicked politician and for the
righteous ones One would expect a
woman to do that. Unluckily, how
ever, the candidate whom the Clarion
advocates so warmly is also sutton
of the editor, Mrs. Perkins The oppo-
sition mulls this fact over in great
glee and puts it out with every sort
of wry twist upon it. But that is
nothing in the light Of subsequent
events. Hiram Perkins comes home
without warning and from nowhere in

No one outside Of the trades had sus-
pected the extent to which they had
depended upon Europe. For a moment
trades are throwing up their hands
helplessly. Few. II any, of the raw
materials are an absolute monopoly
with Europe. American manufactur-
ers have drifted the way of least re-
sistance and have allowed the German
chemists, who receive every possible
encouragement from their govern
ment, to outdistance their own chem
lists.
This country has depended almost
entirely upon the German chemists
for dyes. Germany is the chief source
its contributions during the fiscal yeai
ending June 80, 1913, exceeding &c.
100000 in value. Besides other imports,
the coal-tar preparations. alizarin, an
lin salts, potash, indigo and drugs
amounted to the value OF $2I,750,00O
about $1,000, 900 worth of chemicals.
and England about 100000 worth.
Dyestuffs and acids can be extracted
from American coal tar as well as
the asps ths
veloping the enterprise Last years
gain In European contributions of gen.
eral merchandise, which usually aver
ages about 10 per cent of goods Inn
ported into the, United States, was
smaller than that of any other contf-
nent except Africa.
Realization that this country can pro-
duce all these necessities may teach
the American industries a lesson and
inspire them to allow no other.country
to possess a monopoly On any needed
material in the future, thereby making
blockade of supplies an fmpossibility.

at which the committee on marketing,
OF which I am a member. reported that

posing OF our produce to the best adj
vantage, but that good deal of study
OF the subject would be required before
anything like a comprehensive plan
could be formulated.
The vagueness Of the report was in
tended to be more or less of defiance
OF those "progressives' who have been
insisting that we begin business right
of the reel. but they didn't "start any
thing" Jane. in her capacity as presi-
dent, had threatened to discharge us
and appoint a committee of women if we
didn't get busy. but when our CHI .irman
had finished she merely remarked that,
there being no objection, "the report
of the committee would be received"

there is wide difference Of opinion. Some
