row which the two had gotten into
over the receipts Of a motor boat own
ed by Schenk and which Dodge had
operated en- the Fourth of July cele-
bration at the formers park. Dodge,
it seems, was returning some checks
to Schenk and some difference arose
between them as to the amount OF
money that should be related on
them. The two got into a heated dis
cussion, ending in a fight, and were
interrupted-so Dodge relates-by
Mrs. Schenk, who came out and sep
arated the two. Dodge claims that he

Gives Land TO Children,

Sioux Falls.-Having reached an adj
vanced age and deciding to retire from
active farming, Mrs. B. K. Olson, who
for many years has conducted a large
farm in the vicinity of Trent, has
divided her farm Of $50 acres between
her nine children. Each of them but
n received forty acres, the one re-
ceiving twenty acres additional. Mrs.
Olson, who was one Of the wealthiest
women in the state before the land
division, retains $1,000 in cash for her.
self. and will receive the proceeds
from the crop raised on the $50 acres
this year. She has most of last years
crop still on hand, so there is no dan
ger of the hungry wolf lowering about
her doorway. She has decided to
spend her remaining years in a quiet
way and divide her time among her
children. Since the death of her hus-
band years ago she directed all the
work of the large farm, and proved
herself one of the most successful
women farmers of the country.

the outside by a double door with full
length panels.
The kitchen occupies the center of
the rear portion of the first floor, with
rear entrance from the porch. Con-
veniently near the swinging-door en-
trance to the dining room is the cup
board, sink and range. This arrange
ment could hardly be improved to
produce greater facilities for serving,
a feature which should strongly COM
mend itself to housewives. A very
generous closet is also provided for
the storage of kitchen utensils and
other articles needed in this part Of
the house.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture Of the entire design is the sun
parlor leading from the kitchen and
front parlor. This room, with it's
seven windows, will no doubt be the
most used room in the house in all
kinds of weather. BY replacing the
sash with screens during the summer
months a room is provided which will
furnish all the advantages of being out
of doors, without the annoyance of in
sects. Since there is an entrance to
the kitchen, this room provides a very
pleasant breakfast porch, a feature
which will be appreciated by all who
have had the opportunity to take their
morning meal in the open air.
The second floor contains three large
bedrooms, a sewing room and bath
room. The hall makes all Of these
rooms independent of one another, and
the cased opening off Of it into the
sewing s~pecializes this little room
as the most attractive on this floor. A
feature of special convenience is the
large closet space allowed to each of
the bedrooms.
Considered in its entirety this house
design is one which offers a great
many features not ordinarily found in

family needing a house of this size. es.
pecially if they have located In one of
our smaller cities, 1t suggests the O
sibility of q home Of rare attraction.
An Item OF considerable Importance
in the selection of a house is the pos
sibility of its fitting into the general
scheme of the surrounding landscape.
1t is possible materially to spoil the
appearance Of an otherwise beautiful
home by an improper selection of its
surroundings. The house described
here should be placed, preferably, on
a rather wide lot with a moderate ter.
race in front. 1t will look well II set
OF against a background of trees and
shrubs carefully placed at the rear

porch will be set of to advantage by q
bed of flowers set along the front and
side. Thus surrounded by trees, shrubs,
flowers and well-kept grass this home
should be very attractive.

The typical construction for houses
In our smaller cities throughout the
country has been, for some time, q
tWo-storied structure with sleeping
rooms on the upper floor. This prac-
tice is not without it's advantages.
since a great many people object very
seriously to the inherent lack of
privacy which is associated with homes
of only one floor. There is also a feel.
ing Of safety from intrusion when a
means is provided whereby the valu-
ables of the household may be placed
somewhere other than on the ground
floor. 1t is usually possible to obtain
a better arrangement of the bedrooms
and bath by including these rooms in a
group which will occupy an entire
floor, and this allows the use Of the
entire floor for the living rooms, dining
room and kitchen. This feature is of
special Importance during the winter
