small enough so. that unnecessary
work is eliminated to a large degree.
A refrigerator is provided that can
be iced from the back room, and the
interior a be reached from the
kitchen.
On the first floor there are also
provided two bedrooms and a bath
room. A hall through the central part
of the house makes all the rooms read,
lily accessible.
The bungalow is far enough above
grade so that a good basement a be
built with sufficient headroom for in.
stalling any kind of a heating plant.
II hot water or steam is decided on,
a pipe can be run to the garage to
keep 1t warm in cold weather. The
outside entrance to the basement in
creases it's usefulness.
A feature of the second floor that
will appeal to the housewife especial
ly is the closet arrangement. Each
of the two bedrooms has two large
| closets and another Is placed in the
hall. At the back end OF the hall an
other bath is provided.
This plan presents an almost ideal
house of the bungalow type for the
good-siZed family.

The general impression received
from this home is n of rustic beau

the woods the other day crying az
though her heart would break.
She sobbed and sobbed. The Birds
flew about and sang CHEEKY little
songs to make her feel better, but she
didn't seem to pay any attention.
Pretty soon several Squirrels
scampered by and they cried, too,
when they saw her crying, for they
are very kind hearted and like little
Girls. These Squirrels had known q
great many nice Children who had
given them nuts and they felt very
bad that one should be sitting all
alone sobbing in such a sad way.

then she burst out crying again.
Dear me, no. said the Squirrel
who had suggested the Giant. He is
the kindest Giant you can imagine.
Why, he's our best friend. He lives
in this Cave and whenever we go to
call on him he gives us nuts to eat and
sends home nuts to our Mothers and
Daddies. And he tells us wonderful
as the Cave, but he can curl up way
inside where one Of the real People
will bother him. He's afraid il he

Arlington.-Pioneer residents Of this
vicinity repotr that not for twenty
years have ducks and geese in such
numbers been seen at Lake Albert ana
Lake Pinsett. They say thel are sim.
ply millions of the wild fowl at the
two lakes. The reason given for the
increase in the number of these fowls
is on account of the law prohibiting
spring shooting. Hunters are looking
forward to a good season of sport after
September 6, when wild geese and
ducks may be shot. The goose and
duck hunting at Lake Albert especially
promises to be unusually good. as the
stage of water in the lake this spring
