Rx WILLIAM A. RApEoRp. :


Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper On account of his wide experience
as Editor Author and Manufactures he
is without doubt. the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
TO William A. Radforu, No. 1927 Prairie
avenue Chicago, ILL.,, and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
A house built at right angles to
itself is shown in the accompanying
plan. For some reasons this style of
building has more to recommend it
than almost any other design. 1t was
the first way invented to make
house larger without making it too
long.
In the early history of building OBJ
erations houses were made narrow
because window lights were small and
it was difficult to light a wide room.
1t was also more difficult to build a
wide house at that time because they
hadn't sawed joists and they lacked
the mechanical contrivances that we
now have for putting buildings togeth-
er. A floor with hewed timber beams
more than sixteen feet long was alto
gether too shaky, in fact, floors used
to go down into the cellar occasional
ly when parties of young folks got
too boisterous.
Although this way of building a
house is several hundred years old It
is still as popular as ever and the rea-
son is that houses built in this way
make very comfortable homes. They
have a homelike appearance as you
stand and look at them and when you
go inside they are so light and cheer
full that you feel at home in no time.
The only objection is that every
room in the house has two or three
outside walls and for this reason it is
a little more difficult to heat such a
house in cold weather, but we have
learned how to protect ourselves

ROOT INJURIES TO PLANT
Many Crops Are Affected by Parasitic
Diseases-Eradicate by Keep
ing the Land Bare.
lRy N FuLTON.O

Root knot trouble occurs in sandy
types OF SOIL In some sections of the
United States. Many crops are affect,
ed, including alfalfa, vetch, ciovers,
tobacco. potato. sweet potato, water
melon. cucumber, cantaloupe and to-
mato. Many other crop plants are
affected as well. A few of the com
mon weeds, such as pigweed. wild
carrot, purslane and morning glory
are also subject to root knot troubles
Enlargements OF irregular shape
and size may appear anywhere on the
root system. Affected plants are stunt
ed in growth and their foliage is a
lighter shade of green than normal.
This, however, may be hard to de-
tect when a large area is uniformly
infected.
The trouble is caused by very
small worm belonging to the group
of Nematodes. The worm may live
in the soil for months. but quickly die

that owing to pressing need of ready
money the owner would accept $4,000
for it. A charge was then laid against
the owner, and the pearl dyer" by the
president of theParis Syndical Cham
Der of Dealers in Precious Stones.
This is now being considered by a
judge. When the pearl dyer" was told
of the charge, he said that he had i'm
proved the pearl by a special secret
process invented by himself. He
laughed at the idea of being charged.

get away from 1t as much and often
as possible. A good deal depends on
the house plan. in the first place, but
more depends on the housekeeper, be-
cause one person will make house
comfortable and inviting, while a. 9TH
er woman who works just as hard per-
haps, has the faculty of making things
rather unpleasant. The chairs may be
too nice to sit down in, or there may
be lot of bric-a-brac in the way, stuff
you are afraid of breaking or disar-
ranging. The study of home means
much more than the plan and manner
of building the house.
This plan may be carried out at a
cost of from $4,000 to $4,000.

a LIVE TOPIC,

The subject most universally dis
cussed, aside from the weather, is that
of temperance. In the newspaper
world it is no longer the country week
ly and the small city daily but the
great metropolitan papers, as well. In
the smoking compartments of Pullman
ears, at weekend parties, on the porch,
in the family circle, among business
men at their desks, everywhere, sup.
preston of the liquor traffic is the liv.
est question up for general discussion
before the American public. The
magazines, too, are devoting much
space to the discussion. Story writer's
are teaching the lesson of the value
of abstinence and the worthlessness Of
the man who drinks. 1t is no longer
the lonesome fight Of the preachers
and the extremists; conservative COM
mon sense and consecrated patriotism
have also taken up the cudgel against
the business of legalizing the selling of

against low temperature by using
building paper and other nonconduc-
tors of heat and cold. Then when you
consider that during the ordinary win
ter, even in the northern states. we
have only few days of extreme cold
against so weeks of moderate or warm
weather, this objection fades into in
significance. The fact is most of our
weather hovers around the freezing
point, thawing a little in the day
time and freezing at night. 1t is easy
to keep even a large house comfort

ture and you can keep part of it warm

gins to head. Cowpeas, soy beans, pea
nuts, late Irish potatoes, sweet pota-
toes, millet and late sorghum and corn
are suitable crops to follow the green

land can stand few weeks after the
crop is plowed under before planting.
In the meantime the harrow or a plank

"Doctored" Pearls.

A commotion was caused among the
pearl merchants of Paris over black
pearl, the original commercial value of
which was $500. This pearl had been
manipulated by an expert known as a
pearl dyer" and when he had finished
with it the pearl looked like one worth
about thirty thousand dollars 1t was
then offered for sale through the or

Becoming Popular.

Traction farming is rapidly coming
to be one of the prominent features
of modern agriculture, as it permits
the tilling of large areas within linn
tied time. That it is more economi-
cal for large areas than horse power
is very apparent from the rapidly-in-
creasing use of gasoline tractors In
the great wheat-producing districts.

ARBITRATION OF QUESTION
INVOLVING NATIONAL HONOR

The idea that the personal honor of
the nation can never be compromised
by submitting to the decree of tribu-
nal organized to administer justice and
prevent bloodshed, writes Frank S..
Roby in the April Case and Comment,
cannot be seriously entertained by any
enlightened conscience. The right
man may not always win in the trial,
and justice may not always thereby be
achieved, but the appeal to arms more
often fails to secure justice than it
does to procure it, and when for the
lottery of war the not more uncertain
results of judicial arbitrament are sub
stituted, thereby preventing the slaLgh-
ter of innocent men and the innumer-
able iniquities incident thereto, those
who by indirection or otherwise block
or delay such substitution are, in so
DOING, enemies of the human race.
