1t Isn't Your Town
It's YOU

II you want to live in the kind of town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
It isn't your town-it's YOU.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise town from the dead.
And if, while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
see,

1. COMMUNITY COOPERATION

Get together and pull together. A BOOSTERS
CLUB of live, determined business men, who will
lay aside petty self-interest, and work together
for the general good, will put this town on the
map, and it will stay there Pull together to
make our town more attractive. Pull together
and bring our boys and girls to realize that in the
development of our national resources, in promot-
ing more scientific farming, in making better
schools, in building better roads, in developing
manufacturing enterprises, in bringing in up-to-
date methods Of merchandising, and in countless
other ways of community building, there are OPP
pOrtunities right in the "old home town" for
of usefulness such as can not be found else
where.
O. BETTER SCHOOLS
Ignorance tends to poverty and poverty tends to
crime. The majority of the law-breakers and
criminals in county Jail are illiterate. Educa-
ton prevents crime. It costs less to give boy
good education and start him on a useful career
than it would cost later on to give him a trial
and execute him for committing a crime and the
result is more satisfactory. We want our town
to have as good schools as can be found in the
State.

purpose of obtaining expert practical advice on
farm problems such as Fertilization, Rotation of
Crops, Intensive Cultivation, Farm Labor, Farm
Management, Marketing, Etc.

1. GOOD CITIZENSHIP

If you respond to the needs of your town with
what your town needs from YOU, then no matter
what your vocation may be, you are, indeed,
good citizen. When dozen such citizens get to-
gether they can resurrect town from the dead
and make it an ideal town to live in. Environ
ment creates Tendencies What is the environ
ment of the boys and girls of our town? Ideals
and Amusements affect Character. Impure water,
foul closets, filthy back yards merchandise unpro-
tected from flies, affect Health. We don't want
any more Typhoid Fever, Malaria, Diphtheria, in
our town. Paint and lime are two of the greatest
disinfectants ever discovered Let us paint up our
residences and stores and whitewash trees, fences
and outhouses It will make healthier and pref
tier town.

over and over. Now again do read
in the newspapers Of a female
screaming real loud for help when
she discovered a man beneath her

the jokes she. has fallen heir to on
this subject, that she would exhibit
reasonable calm in such an emer-

AnnIe Pie Romances.

This is the season for pie socials,
and many a youth is feeling the fnan-
cial strain, says the Kansas City
Times. A pie social usually is held at
the schoolhouse to raise money for the
library. The girls bake the pies, and
always put on the packages some dis
tinguishing mark.
On the way to the social the girl
will whisper to her sweetheart: ITS
the one wrapped in white tissue paper
and tied with pink ribbons" Then it's
up to sweetheart.
When the package in white tissue
paper and pink ribbons is held up by
the auctioneer he bids so heavy that
the other boys understand and keep
raising the bid until the auctioneer,
filed with pity, calls time and knocks
the pie down to the financially ruined
one.
But the plunger feels amply re-
warded when he withdraws to Sc
Guided corner with the maker Of the
pie and eats it with her. Many a
romance has budded over slice of ap.
pie pie.

covered is increased. There are also
other considerations which tend to
make the extended bungalow high in
cost. After certain size of rooms is
reached, there is no advantage in in
creasing the size of the building in
both directions. In fact, it is impos-
sible to do so both for artistic and
structural reasons. This requires the
expanding of the bungalow across it's
facade, ordinarily, since the depth Of
the lot is limited, rather than the width.
In order to prevent monotony, this
heightened building must be given a
plan something different from the rec
tangular. The necessary irregularity
in walls iIaplies increased cost in franz
ing them and finishing them and also
brings in an extra expense in framing
the roof to conform to the Irregular

By WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

The true virtue of the low, gable
rooted bungalow, as far as appear
ance is concerned, obtains when there
is no restriction placed upon the de-
signer as to the space on the ground
which may be used. 1t is fundamental
that this type Of bungalow should
have an appearance of freedom. The
design, in its most radical form, may
even be carried almost to the point
where the building might be called
rambling" without seeming to VIC
late the possible characteristics of this
style.
Naturally, the type Of house which
occupies large ground area with re-
spect to the total floor area provided
is not the most economical type OF
houses to build, either with respect to
materials or land. The man who
builds such house must be willing to
spend an appreciable proportion of his
investment in obtaining just the ap-
pearance which is desired. In the low,
expanded, gable-roof bungalow, the in
crease in ground area represents an
increase in cost Of the roof which is
considerably more than the cost of
adding a second floor to smaller
building to obtain the same added
floor space. There is a certain amount
of the roof cost which must be spent
more or less solely for decoration and
the proportion between this cost for
decoration and the total roof cost is
ordinarily increased as the area to be

tiles in the walls Of the building.
These facts are not intended to dis
courage the use of the extended bunga-
low style, for it is indeed a most novel
and very pleasing type of house for
the person who is attracted by it's
unique characteristics. The point is
that quite often there is an impress
sion that the term bungalow" refers
to low-cost building and when the
prospective home bla'der comes to the
matter of cost, he is discouraged be-
cause what he has picked out as a
lcSecost BUILDING is, in reality, not
truly in that class. For small dwell
ings the bungalow style represents at
tractive appearance at moderate cost,
assuming proper design. For large
dwellings,, the bungalow style repre-
sents striking appearance capable OF
wide variation. at rather high cost.

supporting structure Of the overhang
ing part of the roof above the from
porch is novel. The porch rail j:
built of rough texture face brick witt
white concrete copings. Chimneys are
built of the same type Of brick.
A feature of the interior of this de-
sign is the large unobstructed floor
space across the front Of the house.
The reception hall is extremely roomy
and opens through cased openings into
the living room on one side and the
dining room on the other. These open
ings are as wide as the depth Of the
reception hall and give the impression
that the front Of the house is all one
big room. This feature will be appre-
ciated by the lady of the house who
can readily realize it's advantage In
connection with the entertainment OF
guests.
The living room presents remark
ably cozy appearance. On the OPP
posite side from the opening into the
reception hall is a big brick fireplace,
which has a bookcase on each side OF
it. The nook with the seat around it
deserves special mention. The pergola
is not built all the way across the
front Of the house, but little corner
is left projecting out at the end Of~the
porch, The nook is built into this
corner and seems to be detached from
the rest of the room. A nook like this
makes very interesting and striking
change from the ordinary.
The window seat in the curved six
window bay in the dining room is a
great convenience. 1t adds consider
ably to the use of the dining room in
connection with the living room when
they are used together for entertain
ing. There is q pair of double doors,
full glazed, going onto the front porch.
which make the porch and pergola ac-
cessible from this room. The porch
can be reached from any room in the
front of the house through similar
doors. There are two sets Of double
doors from the living room and there
is one set from the reception hall in
addition to the solid door at the main
entrance. All these double doors are
glazed, which helps to light these
beautiful front rooms.
The closets in this bungalow are
plentiful and generous in size. The

WOMEN SUFFERERS may
need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, OF the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may. cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm

hall at the rear. On one side of the
connecting cased opening is closet
for wraps and on the other is tele-.
phone booth, which provides for priv
acy in telephoning. The closets in the
two bedrooms are exceptionally large.
The interior hall is special feature
in this design. 1t opens into every
room in the back of the house. The
kitchen, the three bedrooms, and the
bathroom are all easily reached
through this hall. The stairs to the
storage room in the attic are also in
this hall. The bathroom in addition
to all the usual fixtures, is large
enough so that shower and linen cab
met are placed in it. There is another
toilet between the two bedrooms.
