two gables and is finished in stucco.
A small sun parlor is built off the liv-
ing room and is covered by separate
gable. The maximum width of the
house is increased to 80 feet by the
five-foot extension on the side that
makes it possible to have large and
well-lighted dining room without much
additional cost. This extension is COW
cred by another gable.
This dining room shows the advisa-
bility of building a room in an extern
sion when it is considered necessary
or desirable to haye more light. A
very CHEEKY and bright room can be
secured by having windows on three
sides, as is done in this instance. The
beamed ceiling fits in we'll with the
lighting arrangement.
A heavy front porch adds distinc-
tive touch to nearly any house, and
especially if the house is built along
bungalow lines. Heavy porch pillars
and low roof combine to give a very
cozy appearance, as can be seen in
this case. Flower boxes placed around

is to build living room across 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 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 a 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 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 northern cline. The
basement has an outside entrance that
makes it more useful and saves the
kitchen from great deal of dirt that
would otherwise be carried through it.
The entire arrangement of this de.
sign shows a well-balanced plan, in
which all parts of the house have re.

of the rope about this; then with a
coarse needle, threaded with the
stem of one Of the crosses, sew the
turns one to another, using a plain
over-and-over stitch. Splice other
punches of grass on to the rope as
you need them, and sew each turn Of
the coil to the preceding one, as you
build. If you haven't a coarse enough
needle, you can use linen thread to
sew with, instead Of strands Of grass.
Draw the stitches tight, to make a
firm structure, and, while building one
turn upon another, pull in or spread
them according to how much and
where you want the sides of the bas-
ket to flare. When the rim of the
basket has been formed, cut off the
end Of the coil, and trim back the
grass blades to different lengths so the
coil will bevel off on to the rim.

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

will be used in place of the porch. and
in warm weather the windows can be
left open or removed and 1t will then

A statement of the national income
of Sweden for 1915, received from
American Minister Ira N. Morris, at
Stockholm, gives total of $40,312,S16,
an increase over the 1914 figures,
which were $39,949,54O. During the
month Of December, however, the 1915
figures of $3,266,021 showed a de.
crease from $4,012,19O 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,S00, so that the income for the
latter year was more than $4,000

PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as whole has enjoyed won
derful prosperity in 1915, from the
products of the farm, the orchard and
the centres Of industry. No country
wrote brighter page Of history in
agricultural and industrial develop
ment during 1915 than Canada. Nearly
a billion bushels of grain produced.
Taxes in Western Canada average $24
and will not exceed $35 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave Of alb.
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work In the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac.

The necessity for increasing the ag.
ricultural production is commanding
even more attention in 1916, and it Is
now announced that soldiers in Can
ada may obtain leave Of absence from
their military duties in the spring for
a certain length Of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
in every Province of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting of
Canada's crops as being of the first
importance is perhaps the best evil

FROM SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
Prosperous Colony of Maoris, Same.
ans and Hawaiians Has Been
Established In Utah.

More than 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
a 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 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 halfacre 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 ApricuItl1ral
college. Several of the girls have
become stenographers in Salt Lake
City. A number have graduated from
the University of Utah.

Distinctiveness is the keynote of
this design. Nothing is finished in a
hackneyed or stereotyped way, and at
the same time the design is not freak
ish. This is one of the most impor-
tant achievements in the design of
home. Everyone likes to own house
that is little different from the aver
age run of houses, and it takes consid-
cradle skill to hit the happy medium
between distinction and freakishness.
This result has been accomplished in
a very pleasing way here.

The baskets are built of coils OF
