 The bungalow has done a great deal to promote home construction during recent years in this country. The ap- peal of a neat little bungalow is strong to the man who has always wanted home of his own, but who has allowed himself to get into the habit of rent ing, more for the reason that he has feared the cost than for any other. A great many more homes of the bunga- low type would be built if every man who has a firm desire for home would go to an architect or contractor and get the information which will en- able him to figure the proposition out in a logical manner.
 The cost of a cozy little bungalow is not great and the comfort and sat tsfaction derived from 1t more than pay for the inconvenience of a slight increase in interest over what would be paid in rent, if the funds are not available to pay the entire amount at the time of construction. Almost any man can enjoy himself in keeping up

SMALLER YIELDS OF COTTON
Big Crop Invariably Results in Low Prices for stapIe-PIant to sup-
 ply Actual Demand.

Don't forget the lesson of large acre age and big yields of cotton. A big cotton crop has invariably resulted in low prices and heavy losses to pro- ducers.
 It is well to plant to supply actual demand and then meet the demand by marketing the baled cotton slowly.

New Year Greetings.
By R. T. HART.

From out of the dark and silence And separation long In grateful, glad remembrance
 I send this little song: The year has seemed a long one
 Without your voice, your smile, Yet blessed. holy memories
 Have cheered each weary mile. In absence still cherish
 These memories of you And send these lines on New Years
 morn
 To pledge my faith anew God grant that ere if closes
 All blessings 1t may bring To you who've frightened many year1 And to whom now I will sing. May it be bright and happy.
 And may its smiles and tears Weave OCT your life a rainbow
 Of hope for all your years-

 The use of several materials in the finish of houses has come to be quite common practice. There Is certainly . possibility of sidestepping the mo- notony of large wall areas by facing the walls with more than one material. Both the color and the character of surface may be varied in this way. and many pleasing combinations may be found.
 Among the class of houses which depend upon the combination of diff ferent materials for their exterior fin ish, the little bungalow shown here . somewhat different from the ordi-

We Understand Each Other.
Norcen had drawn away from the
body Of the dead man. and stood
against the farther log wall. with face
hidden in her hands. Cowan lay n
full length. one arm thrown across his
eyes. bent over him. touching his
flesh with my fingers. The ball had
penetrated his abdomen. and how the
fellow ever fought so lercely after
receiving his death wound can never
understand. / think that in his mad
ferocity he was scarcely aware that
he was hurt ! turned him partly over.
and drew out from the inside pocket
Of his blouse . handful Of papers con-
cealed there. One was q bun packet.
which had been roughly torn open

the night of his murder.

papers. but the principal paper was

CHAPTER XXI.

The Fight In the Cabin.
Bent0n's cabin had been burned six
months ago. Noreen told me. and the
old man was believed to be dead. Few
Others ever used this cutoff. or had
occasion to pass this way. and the
weeds had quickly taken possession. l
was obliged to feel for the worn trail.
- It wound here and there along the
slope Of the hill. and then finally down
. shallow depression toward the river
bank The horses stepped cautiously.
pressed closely together in the narrow
rut. and the only noise was the occa.
sional stumble of q hoof. Thus We
came down to the shore. My memory
Of the spot was hazy and uncertain.

YES" she replied. leaning forward,
with my father year ago."
We'll ride together. but keep your
feet free in the stirrups."

out her hand. You'll not find me q
