Three Years Of Democracy.

Mr.. Wilson has been president for
three of the most difficult years in the
history Of the country since the close
Of General Washington's administra-
lion, and excepting only the periods OF
the second war with England and the
Civil war. Since the government was
established and presidents set by the
first president, and excepting only the
more serious war periods we have
been through, no president has had
difficulties even remotely approaching
those with which Mr.. Wilson has had
TO contend.
With due regard for the unprece-
tented difficulties and embarrassments
Of the time, President Wilson and the
Democratic party have discharged
their respective duties with a high
intelligence, a broad comprehension.
and an eye single to the interests and
the duties OF the American nation.

WILL KEEP CONTROL
President Wilson and Democratic
House Sure.
Representative Doremus, Fresh From
Travel Throughout the Country,
Tells Of the Sentiment
Of the People.

Prediction that President Wilson
and a Democratic house will be re-
turned by the people at the November
elections is made in a statement made
public by Representative F. Z. Dore-
mus. chairman Of the Democratic con-
gressional compaign committee. A
mingling among the people Of the
country can do nothing but develop
this opinion. he says. Following is the
statement:
In certain inspired quarters sedu-
lous attempts are being made to Gre
ate the impression that despite the
tremendous popularity Of President
Wilson the Democrats entertain slight
nope OF winning the next congress.
one indication Of this propaganda is
SHOWN by the wide publicity that has
attended the announcements Of Rep
resentatives Page Of North Carolina,
Eagle Of Texas and Sherwood Of Ohio
that they will not seek reelection.
. course the North Carolina and
K districts are sure to send Dem
ocrats to the Sixty-ffth congress, and
Inc same may be said Of the Toledo
district. 1t can safely be predicted
that Representative Sherwood will be
succeeded by 4 Democrat. In fact, I
consider the election of a Democrat
In the Toledo district as one Of the
certainties Of the campaign.

timent of this country is today. he

two gables and is finished in stucco.
A small sun parlor is built off the liv-
ing room and is covered by a separate
gable. The maximum width of the
house is increased to 80 feet by the
fve-foot extension on the side that
makes It possible to have a large and
well-lighted dining room without much
additional cost. This extension is cov-
cred by another gable.
This dining room shows the advisa-
bility of building a Dom in an extern
sion when It is considered necessary
desirable to have 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 a distinc.
tive touch to nearly any house, and
especially If the house is built along

His Unlucky Days.

Seated in a row on the porch of an
~old-country inn, with their chairs
tipped back, some old cronies were go
ing on about unlucky days. After all
had given what they considered their
unlucky days, a quiet cid chap at n
end spoke up:
"Aall tell We ma unlucky days. Aa's
fund DOT in ma time that it's unlucky
to be struck wi leetening on a Mon
day; or te be catched wiz a circular
saw on a Tuesday; or te tumble over
board on a Wednesday; or te be run
over by a motor car on a Thursday;
or lose a ten-pun note on a Friday; or
be bitten by a mad dog On a Saturday,
and hev nowt for dinner on the Sun
day"

10 to build a 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 a very attractive and
coy room. Since the fireplace is in
n end, the room appears to be ever
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 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 az 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
are two bedrooms and a bath
room. The stairs to the basement are
placed at the end Of the hall, where
they will BIO readily reached from the
kitchen.
The trouble Of getting the meals and
serving is cut down largely by the
pantry. that ic placed between the
dining room and the kitchen. This

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 a 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 a great deal of dirt that
would otherwise be carried through 1t.
The entire arrangement OF this de-
sign shows a well-balanced plan, in
which all parts Of the house have re-

twenty-five or thirty years ago the
older men Of this strange colony came
from across the Pacific, some as sail

came across the Sierras into Idaho
and Utah. They were starving when
a group of business men decided to
help them.
They secured Is, 200 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 we're
allowed to buy half-acre lots and cot
