Several models of different sizes were

Public Library. From a study Of such

In the design of a suburban house
the surroundings naturally play a very
important part. The proportions which
| look well enough on paper may be com
pletely altered by the general lay of
the land. II is difficult, for instance,
to place a house on side hill and have
its lines harmonic with the conto,r of
the land The surrounding gardens
may make the mouse appear fnuCn
higher than was expected or the re-
verse. The problem Of making the
house harmorize completely with its
setting presents many difficulties, as
build ,rs of homes will testify.
The same difficulty is encountered in
arranging the color scheme of the house
with its vines. trees and outlying gar
dens. A touch OF color here and there
may work a surprising transformation.
1t is obvious. of course. that the de-
signer can get the best result by plan
ming his house with every detail of its
surroundings studied from the beginning,
and not by patching 1t up later.
In selecting a type of house, again,
the owner would like to know just how
his home will look in future years when
the trees and shrubbery have gained
their full growth and the vines have
crept over the walls. II Is very high
praise for any house to say Of it that 1t

The landscape model gives complete

lifelong protection to at least two I'M
fortunate women. We must do some
thing to guarantee these girls against
want, sickness, unemployment and popu-
lar contumely."
Brisadier Emma j. Bown, the super.
intendent of the Rescue Home on East
Fifteenth street, did some hasty fgur-
ing. She soon decided that for $3.50 a
year young women could be provided
with food, lodging, clothing, an eduCa-
ton in domestic science or other
branches necessary to the girl who
earns her own living, medical attend
ance in case of need and a retreat in old

The summary bank statement of
the q banks in Marshall county, pub
lished in this issue, tells a wonderful
story of progress and development in
the county. When we came here
thirty-two years ago, there was only
one bank in the county and that a
private one with a small capital and
it's deposits were almost nil. Today
the deposits of the various banks in
the county amount to nearly two
and quarter million dollars, mostly
the money of farmers, and the loans
and discounts of said banks total
nearly as much. The actual cash
assets of the banks foot up nearly
half a million dollars and their cap
ital stock, surplus and undivided
profits about as much. The growth
of the banking business is good in
dex of the development of the
county. Diversified farming, the
creameries, and better cultivation
have contributed to this result. Dur
ing the past ten years the banking
bushes in the county has more thar
trebled.
