The same style of window is used on
all sides of the house in all gables
and dormers, but the height OF the
windows and the design of the front
entrance are sufficiently different to
vary the window designs to avoid all
suspicion of monotony.
The manner of construction is as
solid and as subtantial as the house
looks. Starting from the footings of
the cellar walls and going up through
the house to the ridge boards we find
everything well planned. We find all
materials and all proportions carefully
worked out to produce a splendid resi-
dence.
There is considerable weight TO a
building of this size, when constructed
of solid materials. SO that wide foot
ings are provided for the walls and

Has "Farmp In Cave.

A cave in the heart of the Ozark
morntains is the unusual spot chosen
for farm by retired citizen of st.
Louis. While looking about for a
farm in the western part OF his home
state, Robert Smith found an attrac-
tive 26-acre stretch. beneath part of
which lay large cave. Remember
ing the profitable use made of caves
by the mushroom growers of southern
France. he determined to test the pro-
ductiveness of his acquisition. He first
constructed a 25-foot fiat-bottomed
boat for his only practicable access
was by small river running through
the cave. Then he had to uproot and
haul away the stalagmites and sta
lactites--the lime deposits left by the
incessant dripping of water during
many centuries. Except for clayey
substance. ochre. which covered part
of the walls. the cavern floor was bare
limestone, so that the final preliminary
activity was to spread soil and manure
over the ground. Mushrooms are pc
culiarly suited for such project as
the cave farm.

When examining houses that have
been built for year or two. we can
almost invariably discover cracks in
the plaster. and other evidences of
settling. Almost always there are
doors which do not shut properly.
These are indications that the wall
footing and the center piers were not
sufficiently well built. or were not wide
enough, so that the walls have settled
enough to warp the house, out OF
plumb, and the floors are not level.
The extra expense of adding two
inches or SIX inches In the width Of

building foundation that will settle.

That Tacoma organization to promote buying at home is setting very practical example in community building That t is materially aiding in the restoration of good times in the city can be very well believed
 The Tacoma example is one that Juneaultes could follow with profit to themselves It suggests prosper ity through community development. Juneau is on the map to stay. H is not transient mining camp. The great majority of those who live here are here to remain. large percentage of the population has been here long time. Those who have come here more recently have joined the pion eers for better or for Their future is tied to the future oi Juneau and Gastineau channel.
 Many things have served to bring permanent pop uation to Juneau In the first place it is conceded by all who travel up and down the coast that it is the best town per capita in tho West And its prosperity is based upon sola foundation. It's great low grade gold properties possess permanence. Those that are now being operated and opened for operation will en- dure for century and h has been estimated that fifty years from now there win be many gold properties in process of development there are now The fisheries of Southeastern Alaska are nexhaustble and Juneau must. on account of It's prestige the metro polls of this section continue to get constantly grow ing fisheries trade As Juneau continues get larger she win draw more heavily from other communities of Southeastern Alaska and farther away.
 These are some of the things which have caused people to locate in Juneau which make them glad that they have located here which win keep them here And they are some of the things which should cause ey cry citizen-new as well as od-to make Juneau's growth and development his first concern. Few men ever get rich alone in any city. People prosper when the community prospers. and grow richer as the com nunity increases in wealth. population and prestige It follows as matter of that one can contribute more to his own permanent prosperity by aiding a community growth and prosperity than in any other manner
 There is nothing that contributes to the pleasure of lie in any city that win not to Juneau if we will make a city here. We can do it. We have the best foundation in all the West upon which to build
 Therefore. let's keep Juneau in mind always. What ever we do let's do it way that will contribute to the welfare Of the community.
 One way to help is to buy at home. Patronize those who are deyoting their profits to community growth and development In doing that you are con- tributing to the community and helping yourself
 Another way is to invest your profits at home Put your money in Juneau The opportunities to invest or lend money are as good in Juneau anywhere. There is work for money here and 1t be safely invested When invested here 1t puts more people to work and aids you to make more money.
