The planting Of the bungalow into

ed in many characteristic changes
For instance. all bungalows in the
North are built with cellars. In fact,
a cellar under bungalow in the north
ern sections OF the country is the most
important part of the house. because
1t furnishes storage that is especially
valuable in a house that has neither

ries according to the climate. A uni.
form height Of basement or cellar cell
ing has been established. because
northern bungalows especially are
heated by warm-air furnaces and the
furnace pipes require tx feet OF head
room to give the proper slope for
easy heating. but the depth Of cellar
wall below the lot line may vary with
the amount Of cold winter weather.
The cooler the climate the deeper the
cellar below ground.
There Is modification to this rule,
however, for the necessity Of carrying
out the low-down construction. For
this reason. when the cellar wall ex
tends from two to four feet above the
level of the lot. then considerable
grading is done in front to bring the
ground up within q foot or SO OF the
level Of the main floor.
On the other hand deep cellar base

the necessary light.
The bungalow effect in front is Sc
cured by grading the lot and planting
flowers and shrubbery so that tht

IDAHO WOMAN ACHIEVES
FAME BY SCULPT0RING
ROSES FROM BUTTER

Seven years ago pretty Mrs. Alice
M. Cooksley, then living in a small
town of Illinois, invited a number of
guests to a dinner party at her home.
She had just come from England,
q bride, and on the success of the
dinner party depended her social
future in her new home. Mrs. Cooks
ley was a lover of flowers and a Halter
of cows, Notwithstanding the fact that
her husband, ]. l.. Cooksley, was the
owner of a large creamery. During
the afternoon Mrs. Cooksley received
a message from a Chicago florist that
her order for cut roses could not be
filled.
1t was a trying moment for the
bride as she thought she saw her
social aspirations go a glimmering.
The table had been laid and only the
floral decorations were lacking. Mrs.
Cooksley remembered the mud pie
days and the clay flowers which she
had modelled with her childish hands.
why not butter" thought the pref
ty and fearful bride. A moment
later she was in the pantry modelling
flowers in the rich golden butter
from her husbands creamery. Before
the dinner hour had arrived she had
moulded a large number of flowers
and the local florist had supplied the
rose leaves and stems from his nom
blooming hot house bushes.
When the guests entered the din
ing room they were greeted with
the sight of a gorgeous centerpiece OF
yellow roses. Where did you get
the beautiful flowers" chorusod the
guests. RAISED them," said the bride
laconically. When the dinner was ap-
preaching an end the smiling bride
invited her guests to eat the flora
decorations.
THE success of her dinner mus
have turned her head" whispered
matronly lady at the far end of Tho
table. Mysteries, my DEAR" replier
a dowager as the bride burst into a fl
of laughter while gazing at the non
plussed countenances of her friends.
Then pretty Mrs. Cooksley DELHI
erately bit the petals off a rose ant
urged her guests to do the same. 4
m later every member of thu
dinner party was eating roses ant
Mrs. Cooksley had made the hit of tn
social season.
When Mrs. Cooksley opened her ex
hibit of butter sculptured flowers a
the Panama-Pacific International FIX
position visitors wondered why a flor
list had been placed in the Food Pro
ducts building. Now they know an
they appreciate the wonderful worI
of the little woman, who has spen
seven years of her life turning gu
examples of nature herself.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1915-09-09

Every day the sculptures is on the
job bright and early and when the
first visitors begin to pour into the
exposition grounds there is always a
rush for the Food Products building
for a peep at the wonderful flowers,
which stand u pre-eminently as the
world has ever known.
Back in Twin Falls, Idaho, where
the sculptress is now one of the princi-
pal directors of one of the largest
creameries OF the state. Mrs. Cooksiey
devoted her time to raising roses and
modelling artificial flowers from the
products of her rose gardens. Twin
Falls. while not exactly an earthly
paradise, boasts many beautiful flow
ers. But most of all Twin Falls boasts
of the natural and artificial roses
raised and sculptured by Alice Cooks
ley. Her fame is gradually travelling
abroad and when the great Panama
Pacific International Exposition threw
its portals wide open to the entire
world several states bid for the but
ter flower exhibit. Iowa wanted it
because Mrs. Cooksley once owned
a creamery in that state. Illinois
wanted it because Alice Cooksley had
first sculptured butter in a little Illi-
nois town. Wisconsin and Idaho also
had claims on the pretty sculptress
but the most unique and daring artist
in the world decided to work for her
self.
You don't know how l feared cows
when a child" said Alice Cooksley to
a group of Exposition visitors. Il
simply couldn't, could not stand the
sight of cows and the mere fact that
j. l.. Cooksley was a creamery owner
almost put an end to a romance in
England, where | was reared.
when l was married | made my
husband promise that / would not
have to go neal a dairy and it was
months before l saw how fascinating
the work is. From Brighton we
came to Illinois end it was there that
became interested in dairying and
butter-making. 1t wasn't long dntil
| was sitting up at night studying all
about COWS and about butter. Then ]
went back to England and toured Ire
land, Wales, England and Scotland in
search of more information regarding
dairies and creameries.
when l returned to Illinois | wrote
the managers of the State Fair and
asked If a woman would be allowed to
compete in the butter exhibits. l re-
ceived the desired permission and
took the second prize, my butter scor'
ing 97k perfect. The following yeal

ficial stems and leaves are substitute

always appetizing.
Alice Cooksley lives five miles from
Shoshone Falls and she declares hat
the ever roaring of the o%nrushing wat
ers stimulate her to the Derfcc
ton of her art. 1.-THE sound of the
great falls are really intoxicating"
says the sculptress, but them che
naively adds, "what on earth could be
more stimulating thar the grand sight
OF the Panama-Pacific International
Exposition. Mans best efforts are
| brought forth in this paradise OF earth
ly and heavenly things"
Outside the little bungalow where
Alice Cooksley listens to the roar OF
the mighty Shoshone falls are the rose
gardens which are the pride OF Twin
Falls. Her love for the natural flow
ers are only surpassed by the love for
the perfect models which her artistic
hands create. Her creations are the
faithful reproductions OF the blossoms
of her gardens and often to place the
finishing touches on her sculpturings
Mrs. Cooksley sprays them with the
perfume crushed from the hearts OF
the natural flowers.
II was in 1914 at the big banquet
given at Twin Falls by he Ike
of Idaho that a prominent banker be-
lieying the floral decorations to be
natural flowers, placed a rose In the
lapel of his coat. His error was not
discovered until the temperature OF
the banquet room spread the dainty
butter leaves in streaks down the
front of a perfectly new evening coat

the rose went the rounds 1t resulted

Mr.. Herriek, as the head of ma

1t has been in this country the foot

in his address at the conference, Mr.
Herrick expressed himself strongly
to the effect that all that was needed
was suitable legislation to enable the
farmers TO help themselves to per
nit the organization of financial in
stitutions fitted to make loans pos
sibly running during an average life
time, and to furnish the same state
supervision which is given to other
financial institutions.

/ the results of Vermont's restraint of
liquor selling to be good, as compared
with open saloon towns across the

right.
But that does not prove that there
could be no improvement upon Yer

want is not merely law superior to
New York's with its great cities and
Tammany influence, but the best law
possible for Vermont, state of
small towns and cities and relatively

maintains that the best Vermont law
is one that will totally wipe out every
lawful place Of selling liquor within
the confines of the state. ~
Under the present law the prohibi-

THE RURAL CREDIT BOARD
That Former ambassador Herrick is
PROMOTING

/
| At a meeting of the rural credits
conference on last Tuesday steps
were taken for the organization of a
national body to deal with the sub
ject on broad lines and with special
reference to the formulation of ma
tional policy if such policy should
be found desirable.
In introducing Former Ambassad-
or Myron T. Herrick as the principal
speaker at the conference, Chairman
Rowell spoke of him as the man who
knew more about rural credit sys-
TENS than any one else in this coun-
try.
This is probably true. Mr.. Herrick
has for many years been banker,
but not in the ordinary sense, as his
service has been as trustee of
many years standing Of one of the
great mutual savings banks of an
eastern city, in which there is not
the remotest chance Of profit to any
one except the depositors, and upon
whose boards service is like that of
service for other benevolent sassocia-
tions.
Mr.. Herricks attention was called
several years ago to the European
methods of financing rural activities,
and he improved his opportunity as
ambassador to France to make thor
ough study of the subject in that and
adjacent countries
The result was, of course, famil-
iarity with the subject which no
study from distance, even when sup
plemented by flying trip through
European or other countries, could
possibly give.
AS result of his studies and obser
vations, Mr.. Herrick is of the opin-
ion that American farmers are quite
as intelligent and competent as the
farmers of other countries to work
out for themselves systems OF rural
credit doubtless varying, as they
vary in Europe, according to vary
ing conditions in different states,
