matter so vitally important as the re-
quiring Of home, dwelling that has
to be occupied throughout life, 1t
seems that the house ought to be
built especially to meet the needs of
the owner.
So, there is the third way of ac-
quiring home, and 1t is probably the
best. It is not to buy, a ready-made
house, either new or secondhand, but
to have new house built in just the
location and of just the size and char
acter desired.
Acd with home-building conditions
as they are In most localities, this
IS an easy thing for the man Of aver
age means to do. For a very modest
sum the service Of skilled architects
who make a speciality of designing
dwelling houses may be secured. A
design can be selected that is lust
what suits the special needs Of the
family; a house complete in every
detail and conveniently arranged for
the work Of the house. Then on a
very modest down payment the real
estate operators are very glad to put
up the house, following these plans
and specifications. The house is con-
tracted for before the work is started,
and 30 they are the more willing to

SHOW BELIEF IN THE BOY
Youngster VIII Almost Invariably
Prove Worthy Of Confidence II
He ls Given Il.

Is there a boy problem in your
home? II So you are looking for its
solution. It is to be found in a little
sentence Of four short words: Be
lleve In the boy.
II is a sad day in boys life when
he hears a parent cay, 81 have no CON
iiGance In you" And yet parents
well-meaning parents, too-say these
very words TO their boys, and other
parents say them as plainly by actions
as II they had spoken.
A boys daily chores included looking
after the barnyard, milking the COW
and caring for the family horse. On
several occasions the faucet that sup.
piled the tank with drinking water was
found open and the barnyard flooded.
OF course, the boy was charged with
carelessness. He stoutly denied hav
ing left the faucet open; but he was
threatened with punishment next time
such trouble occurred, and he missed
it only by chance The cook happened
TO look out of the kitchen window just
in time to see the old bay horse turn
the faucet with his nose He had
probably learned the trick by accident,
and was smart enough to draw his
drinking water fresh.
Many a boy has been punished for
just such acts which he never commit.
ted, so be slow to judge the boy. The
normal boy is quick to respond TO kind
ness and just as quick to be hardened
by unjust judgments of those in au-
thorlty. More than one boy came safe
ly through the stormy years Of his
teens not because of but in spite Of
the system Of discipline TO which he
was subjected in the home,-The Moth

MYSTERY OF EASTER ISLAND
None Can Tell of What Race Were
the ScuIptors Who Carved the
Immense Images.

Huge and grotesque stone images
stand and lie over the fertile surface
of a deserted island far south in the
Pacific 1t is a place that Poe might
have sung into existence or Rider
Haggard created for the scene of some
fantastic romance. Even its name,
Easter island, seems more literary
than geographical Easter island,
1000 miles from South America and
1,400 miles from Pitcairn island, has
on all the As square miles Of its area
less than two hundred people. But it
has other inhabitants, great masses of
rock, 600 in number, each carved into
the semblance of a human figure, the
origin of which is mystery. These
statues weigh on an average from ten
to twelve tons each, some Of them
reaching a weight Of 40 tons A few OF
them stand on strong platforms 400
feet long, and many similar platforms
stand untenanted
At the quarry, which is a crater
(for Easter island is of volcanic ori-
GIN, a number of these images lie
half formed as the vanished sculptors
left them.
There is another crater where the
crowns of the figures were made from
rock of different sort. Here, too,
are found unfinished specimens

Ignorant Tourists Bring DANGERS.


Ignorance can do as much harm as
malice. Travellers with the most in
nocent intentions in the world delight
in bringing back with them souvenirs
of their travels, and few have any con-
ception of the ease with which disease
Is spread among plants and animals.
Because of it's traffic with China, Jap
an and the South seas, San Francisco
in particular Is a favorite port Of en-
try for strange and obnoxious insects
or would be if the various exotic
seeds, fruits and plants which have
attracted their attention in the Orient
and the tropics were not ruthlessly
taken from the incoming tourists. In
one instance, for example, some
strange looking beans we're found to
be swarming with weeyil. The indi-
vidual from which this precious prize
was taken may have resented the gov
ernment's action as a piece Of petty
interference with a personal hobby,
but the government saw in the beans
not hobby, but a very vital danger
to the vegetable gardens Of the coun'
try.

Proper Ace for Marriage.

In ancient Rome men sixty years
Of age and women of fifty were pro-
hibited from marrying. Aristotle, in
his Politics, says that eighteen is the
best age for a woman to marry, ami
twenty-five for man. An eminent
British medical authority fixes the
physiological age for the marriage of
the male at from twenty-five to twen-
ty-fve, and from seventeen to twenty
one for that of the female. This may
be true physiologically, but other con-
siderations suggest an age more ad-
vanced. How can the calf-love CT
seventeen or twenty-five know its own

Farmer Didn't Understand It at First,

The lawyer from the city had seat

"Yes, | guess So"
"The women in the city make
great ado about Easter"

the formal celebration will take place
on Monday, June Is, the day following
the anniversary.

day and ordered the flag to be dis
played on all state buildings and in
vited their fellow citizens to celebrate
the day.
Mayors of cities, for recognition of
this anniversary, have in the past
ordered flags to he displayed upon the
municipal buildings of their respcc-
