FROM SOUTH SEA ISLANDS


More than a thousand South Sea Is
landers are now living in a colony in
Skull valley. Utah. and prospecting ex
ceedingly.
There are Maoris, Samoans and
Hawaiians living and farming in per.
feet harmony. intermarrying and rails,
ing children.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago the
older men of this strange colony came
from across the Pacific, some as sail.
ors, some as stowaways.
They wandered in small groups
about California and some of them
came across the Sierras into Idaho
and Utah. They were starving when
group of business men decided to
help them.
They secured $4,000 acres Of land
in the Skull valley, collected all the
South Sea natives that they could find
and established them in a colony
which they called Ioseppa.
An American farmer was selected
as superintendent. Each man was
paid good wages at the start, and as
soon as they were capable they were
allowed to buy half-acre lots and cot
tages at actual cost.
Now there is new generation
growing up. Some Of the boys have
gone from the grade school and taken
full courses at the State Agricultural
college. Several of the girls have
become stenographers in Salt Lake
City. A number have graduated from
the University Of Utah.

is to bufId living room ac.'oss the
front Of the house. In this particular
case, in which the house is rs feet
wide, the living room is "a feet long.
1t is made IL feet wide, which gives
the impression of very attractive and
cozy room. Since the fireplace is in
one end, the room appears to be even
longer than it is. A room of this size
and shape is very easily decorated and
furnished in a pleasing way. The
ceiling is beamed so that there will
be no lack of harmony between the
living room and the dining room, as
they are connected by cased open
ing. The idea of having plenty of win.
dows, as shown in the dining room,
is also carried out in the living room.
The remainder of the rooms are also
arranged so as to furnish the maxi
mum amount of comfort and accessi-
bility. From the living room a hall
extends back through the house,
from which every room can be
reached. Such an arrangement takes
up very little space and more than
makes up for this in the convenience
and privacy that are afforded. On one
side of the hall are the dining room,
kitchen and serving pantry, and on the
other are two bedrooms and bath
room. The stairs to the basement are
placed at the end of the hall, where
they will be readily reached from the
kitchen.
The trouble of getting the meals and
serving is cut down largely by the
pantry, that is placed between the
dining room and the kitchen. This
can be equipped with shelves and cup
boards in any way that is desired by
the home builder.
A large and roomy basement is pro-
vided in this design. Sufficient head
room is provided SO that a heating
plant can be readily installed. This
is an important feature in any house
that is built In a northern cline. The
basement has an outside entrance that
makes 1t more useful and saves the
kitchen from great deal of dirt that
would otherwise be carried through 1t.
The entire arrangement of this de-
sign shows a we'll Unbalanced plan, in
which all parts Of the house have re-

are frightened by vests Of brocaded
or plaid silks.
A model that is interesting from sew
eral standpoints is shown in the pic
ture. The fullness Of the skirt, con.
cession Of the seasons mode, is ap-
propriately disposed in plaits. The
coat is cleverly cut and easy fitting,
with peplum pointed at the sides and
back, and laid In plaits to give it full
ness
The sleeves are plain, with deep.
slightly ffaring cuffs. A girdle extends
across the front and back, but is lack
ing at the sides. 1t is finished with a
bit of embroidery, which Is repeated
on the standing collar.
A vestee and high turnover collar OF
satin, with cuffs to match, may be
made in plaid silk If more color is pre-.
ferred. Or they might be of pique or
organdie, since they are separate
pieces.

sweden,s Income Increased.

A statement Of the national income
Of Sweden for 1915, received from
American Minister Ira N. Morris, at
Stockholm, gives total of $4O,312,S16,
an increase over the 1914 figures,
which were s39,94a,540. During the
month of December, however, the 1915
figures Of s3,266,021 showed a de-
crease from s4,012,1sO in December,
1914. The estimate of income which
was made for 1914 was slightly less
than the actual amount received,
while the estimate for 1915 was $42,-
705,800, so that the income for the
latter year was more than $4,000, 900
lower than was estimated.

Floor Plan Of Bungalow.

the porch will also help to make it
more attractive in the summer time.
The little sun parlor forms mighty
useful addition to the porch and to
the living room. In cold weather it
will be used in place of the porch, and
in warm weather the windows can be
left open or removed, and it will then
really be part of the porch. Screens
can be substituted for the sash in the
summer time.
The floor plan shows an arrange
ment that is very popular with home
builders. The most important feature
and one that is being demanded
more and more-is shown in the size
of the living room. People want liv-
ing room that is Of good size. and one

They Wanted Him.

A newspaper man ran across the
street the other day to dairy lunch.
He was in hurry. He leaned against
the marble counter and ordered a
lamb stew man who had been out
all night swayed against him several
times and his breath exhaled whisky
and onions. "One stew! One stew!"
called the boy behind the counter to
the kitchen. The newspaper man
turned to the inebriate: Pardon me,

THE world Is filled with a number
of things" as Is usual with the return
of spring, designed to captivate the
fancy and the favor Of the beauty
loving summer girl. Among them are
pretty novelties in handkerchiefs to be
worn in the pocket Of the tailored coat.
After glimpsing them in the quickly
passing throngs on the streets one is
apt to run them down for a better
view. In the shops their beauty is
Haunted in the eyes Of appreciative
womankind.
There are small handkerchief of col
ored linen lawn, with narrow hens in
contrasting color, to be worn with the
new colored checks. They are plain
and chic. Next in the favor Of admirers
are white handkerchief with colored
embroidery, in design that suggests
the springtime in one corner of each
handkerchief. Butterflies and bees and
blossoms are reproduced in unusual
colorings and with beautiful workman
ship. Similar designs show conven-
tional flowers in one or two colors
with white.
Four of these new ideas are shown
here.
A springtime fancy appears in the
clover blossom in pink with stem and
leaf in greenish blue outlined with
black. The bee has black body with
orange stripes and his gauze wings
are merely outlined with the tiniest of
stitches.
A butterfly with outspread wings is

Very pretty portieres can be made

are cut In strips one-half inch wide

How They Get Trade

The Rec Heights Review reports
that ''about a ton of catalogs'' from
a big Chicago department store ar.
rived there last week to be distribut.
ed through the postoffice.
The PRESS has received letters
from an advertising agency in a large
city. asking tor advertising space ir
this paper for various lines of goods,
including the lines handled by locaI
merchants! This paper prefers t.
sell it's advertising space to home
d~ealers-if they want it.
The catalog houses attract some
trade by persistently advertising at,
tractive prices on certain lines OF
goods that are produced in cheap
medium and extra good qualities
1t often happens the local merchant
carries only the best grade. while the
catalog advertises the cheapest
grade. This IS a decided advantage
for the catalog house in price. The
merchants best protection is pIair
statements of these facts, with {
sample of the cheap goods on hi
counter side by side with his better
grades to show the difference. This
method has been successfully en-
ployed by several town merchants.
