| into a court Of inquiry and find out
what's the matter.
There are a great many men of to-
day with small means and large fam
lilies who are farming from sixty to
one hundred acres of land at a loss,
that l am confident would be vastly
better off at the end Of few years
if they would sell half the farm and
expend the money received for tho
upbuilding of the other half. And the
young man VIII, is just entering the
pursuit of farming will, l am well con-
tent, find that ten acres are enough
at first.

A style OF house that is becoming
quite common in suburban towns is
shown in this plan. 1t is designed
after the bungalow style with the adj
dition of dormer windows in the roof,
a stairway and bedrooms on the sec
ond floor.
The plan Of the first floor is a little
unusual from the fact that there are
six rooms. 1t is difficult to get six
rooms in a bungalow. Ordinarily there
are five in a large bungalow and from
one TO four rooms in a smaller bungd.

is the original bungalow, but the in
ventive genius OF the Americans Is
never content to stop if there is any
possible room for improvement, and
ST does seem waste of material 10
put a big, wide roof over a one-story
house, because the same foundation
wall and the same roof will cover two
floors. To get rooms above, it Is only
necessary to raise the caves foot or
two higher and to make the roof
little bit sleeper, neither of which
cost very much at the time of build
ing, and the room gained in this way
is considerable.
This story-and.a-half house is not
a small affair, by any means. 1t is
&c feet wide by 45 feet in length, and
contains six rooms downstairs with a
chance to finish up two or three rooms
IN the attic and in that way make a
ten-room house, The plan is a good

MERCHANTS READY
TO PROTECT FOOD
Local People Prepare Special Cover
ing to Comply with iowa's
Sanitary Product Law.

That food products shall be pro-
tected this summer, is one OF the pro-
visions OF the Iowa sanitary law. and
the merchants OF Keokuk are prepar-
ing to comply with this law as Is
shown by the installation Of special
display windows In the various local
stores.
The following is from the bulletin
issued by the state food and dairy
commission:
To comply with the provisions OF
the sanitary law is has become neces-
sary to protect all food products dis
played in windows by enclosing the
window generally with sliding doors.
BY the general abolition OF street dis
plays it becomes necessary to make
the show window as attractive and
practical as possible. The enclosing
of thu windows is essential to pro-
tect food products from flies and dust
Many merchants have already COM
piled by enclosing with glass sliding
doors, but did not realize until they
had experience, that certain amount
OF ventilation in the window is abso-
lutely necessary to preserve the food
products.

Folks from Livingston and Rose

at the Court of Quarter Sessions dur

Schalder is accused of having stolen
four cows which belonged to Henry
b. Kent, also of Livingston. Mr..
Kent testified that he put twelve cows
in a pasture at Roseland on the morn
ing of August last, and got but eight
out of the pasture that night. -Four
days laetr the four missing animals
were found at a neighborfng farm and
neighbors were found who said they
saw Schalder driving the COWS.
Schalder says these folks are mis-
taken.
