H0ME-PLANNING IN COUNTRY
Whole Farm Layout Should Be
sketched and Studied Before Any
Buildings Are Erected.

Put the house, If possible, on an emf
hence, or rise, facing east or south,
with q gentle slope away from the
front. Don't build too near the road,
nor yet too far back-150 to 250 feet
Will generally be about right.
Don't, don't ever put the barn and
lot buildings in front of the house.
The only logical place for these is in
the rear and hidden, If practicabN,
by trees, vines and shrubbery.
Before building, give study and
time to planning the whole farm lay
out, Progressive Farmer advises.
Doing this may save many later re-
grets. Take paper and pencil, and,
with the aid Of the family, sketch the
grounds as they should be when the
building and planting scheme is com
pleted. 1t may and probably will be
years before all details of building
and planting are completed, but then
there will be a harmonious, pleasing
whole. Aim at an Ideal and come as
near reaching 1t as possible.
AS never before, convenience and
simple dignity are the aims of house
building. A compact, well-arranged
plan saves steps for the housewife and
likewise building materials.

Lessons Learned In Sleep.

Lessons have been learned and diff
cult problems solved while in sound
slumber.
young girl, through the death OF
her father, was told that she must
leave school unless she passed an ex-
animation which would entitled her to
scholarship. She studied assiduous-
ly. and on one occasion carried her
school books TO her bedroom, intending
10 rise early the next day for the pur-
pose OF study. In the morning. on
looking over her lessons, she was sur.
prlsed to find that she already knew
them. This happened for several sue

circumstances to her mother. who de-
termined 10 watch her. This she did

halted. 1t was certain now that Page
had not gone into the gap.
Perplexed and annoyed. De Spain,
from the high ground on which he sat
his horse, cast his eyes far over the
desert. The brilliant sunshine flooded
1t as far as the eye could reach. He
scanned the vast space without detect
ing a sign Of life anywhere. though
none better than he knew that any
abundance of 1t might be there. But
his gaze caught something of interest
on the farthest northern horizon. and
on this his scrutiny rested long time.
A soft brown curtain rose just above
the earth line against the blue Say. To
ward the east it died away and toward
the west ii was cut on by the Super
sution peaks.
De Spain. without giving the weather
signs much thought, recognized their
import, but his mind was filled with
his own anxieties and he rode smart
ly back toward Calabasas, because he
was not at ease over the puzzles in the
trail. When he reached the depression

apparent reason, turned south, he halt

fore storm should overtake him. On
the north the brown curtain had risen
fast and already enveloped the furthest
peaks of the range. Letting his horse
stretch its neck, he hesltated mo-
ment longer trying to decide whether
to follow the men to the south or the
wagon To the north. A woman might
have done better. But no good angel
was there to guide his decision. anu In
another moment he was riding rapidly
to the south with the even, brown
misty cloud behind him rolling higher
into the northern sky.

CHAPTER XVII.


There were hours In that night that
each had reason long to remember; a
night that seemed to bring them, In
spite of their devotion, 10 the end Of
their dream. They parted late, each
trying to soften the blow as 1t fell on
the other, each processing courage
which, in the face of the revelation.
neither could clearly feel.
In the morning Jeffries brought
down to De Spain, who had spent
sleepless night at the office, letter
from Nan.
De Spain opened 1t with acute mis-
givings. Hardly able to believe his
eyes, he slowly read

If you have So or more or less, for
which you have no pressing need, go
and pay debt with 1t. That is the
best use you can make of money, I'M
less you are naked or starving. Now is
the time to obey the Bible injunction,
lowe no man anything" That Is In the
Bible, but from the way some debtors
spend money they don't seem to know
1t or care for 1t. II they have dollar
extra, 1t goes for pleasure or a con-
yenlence, says Ohio State journal. The
duty to pay someone they owe never
occurs to them. Nor does 1t occur to
them that every unsettled debt is a
drag on community. Everybody has
to pay interest on 1t. People have to
pay more for their sugar and coffee be-
cause other people owe the grocer and
won't pay. II Is one of the Items In
the high cost of living. And then there
Is wholesome public policy In scat
tering the money around. 1t will help
find work for some poor man and help
some other debtor pay his debt. So
pay up now.

from the town Of Wenden.
The defendant, G. B. Leighton, Is a

the country and bought the Critic at
a sheriff's sale some years ago, since
which time he has leased 1t to various
parties. 1t is reported to be paying

OUTLOOK FOR MINING IS BRIGHT

Various mining men, who have
carefully followed the trend Of
events, are of the opinion that there
will be something Of an awakening
in mining with the opening of
spring, especially as regards the for
nation of new mining companies. AS
reasons for their belief they point to
the generally fourishing condition
OF existing mining enterprises, the
rapidly growing need for new mines
to replace those that are approach
ing extinction, the favorable metal
market, the promising outlook for
silver, and the prevailing and pros
pective enormous demands for met
ais of all kinds. They predict that
peace requirements for the output
of the mines will probably be as
heavy for reconstruction purposes as
the present demands of the world
war, and they can see nothing but
prosperity in store for the metal min
ing industry. They believe that
enough additional labor can be di-
verted into the mineral fields to at
least make an important showing in
the opening of old and new prop
critics.

WHAT SAVING MEANS,

If in each home in the United
States there is saved one ounce of
meat a day in one year we save
465, 100000 pounds. One slice ..of
bread saved daily. saves SS5, 600, 900
loaves annually. One pat OF butter

TRIED TO FORD THE COLORADO
RIVER.

Rev Crutchf1eld, chaplain of the
state legislature, tried an experiment
about 1880 Friday morning which
proved to him that Ford car will do
almost anything but swim. Mr..
Crutchf1eld, coming from Los Angeles,
stopped on the California side of the
river, and, seeing the ferry on the
Arizona side. decided that he couldn't t
wait to cross on the ferry, so he
gave her the gas" and tore down
the road leading to the river about
thirty miles an hour. When the
Ford hit the water 1t refused to
swim, due probably to the fact that
Mr.. Crutchfleld had failed to have
a propeller attached before leaving
Los Angeles
Thursday a party told the ferry
man that a preacher was on his way
to Parker, driving at speed which
would make Barney Oldfeld blush
with envy, so when the ferryman
heard the splash and looked acros
the river, he saw Mr.. Crutchf1eli
striking out for the shore and then
waited to see If he would say any
thing a chaplain shouldn't, but all
he saw was the preacher wringing

After about two hours OF wet work
the car was hauled out, none the
worse for wear, and towed to the

J. e. Bush intends to build a wall
about ten feet high and four feet
thick on the California side of the
river. The cars can then run
against this wall at any speed, the
wall will naturally hold them until
the ferry can cross and put them on
board. or course you never can

done he merely shrugs his shoulders,
and doggedly goes ahead with his
undertakings, with the result that
he overcomes impediments said to be
insurmountable and achieves sue
cess. This is possible in mining as
we'll as in any other line of legiti-
mate business endeavor and the
problem of lack of labor to develop
the mines must be met by the optim-
ist and conquered If necessary, the
