"Baby Doils.D

There used to be a time when men
preferred the doll type of woman, but
that period has passed, or, rather,
there are so few men with these pref
erences that they are not much con-
sidered. The wife of today must have
mentality as we'll as looks if she is to
hold her husband, and the average
man, realizing this, looks for a fair
amount of brains in the woman he
selects to be his wife. OF course, there
will always be husbands who prefer
TO have all the brains In the matrimon-
ial partnership, who look upon their
wives as playthings, to be excluded
from all the real interests and real
issues of life. Mental attraction plays
as big a part as physical attraction
in the selection of a mate. How can a
man develop his future If at the head Of
the domestic helm there stands q wom-
an who cannot meet him on equal men
tai grounds, who cannot understand
and appreciate the ideals he expresses?

have a wide Overhang, which Is one Of
the most inviting features of bun
galow. The wide caves and the low
pitch of the roof have another effect,
also, in bungalow construction.
The bungalow at its best is built
very close 10 the ground. In cold cli-
mates such q result cannot be obtained
because Of the necessity of having a
basement that IL adequate to hold a
heating plant. The same low-built ef-
feet is obtained by building the bun
galow with wide caves and with fat
pitched roof.
This bungalow is built far enough
above the ground so that basement
can be provided with the necessary
windows and without too much exca-
walton. The porch also aids material
~ In getting this same effect Of being
close to the ground. II is very broad
and is built under q separate gable
from the house. The broad, fat roof
and the heavy porch pillars give 1t a
coy, inviting appearance.
The floor plan calls for five rooms
that are arranged in convenient
style. On one side of the house IS the
living room, dining room and kitchen,
and on the other is the bathroom and
two bedrooms.
The main entrance 10 the house is

place occupies almost one side of the
room. II is almost necessary TO have
a big fireplace in bungalow, as no
house Of this type would seem TO be
complete without one. II Is generally
placed in the living room, though II
may be in the dining room or some
time in Il small den built off the living
room. On either side OF the fireplace
in this design is Il narrow bookcase
with window over each one. There
is also wide window facing out onto
the front porch. Plenty of wall space
is provided, so THAT some carefully
chosen furnitur, can be obtained TO

room.
In back of the living room, and con
nected to it by double swinging doors,
is the dining room. This room has a
convenient built-in sidebOard, and
there is also a side entrance 10 the

Almost everyone who plans to build

formed In mind as the result of q
great deal of thought and discussion
with the different members of the fam
fly. The room arrangement is nearly
considered as the primary restriction
upon the architects free hand in draw
Ing up the design. UnconsCiOuSly,
perhaps, the prospective home builder
often places the architect in a difficult
position because of this fact.
Because of his training, the architect
does not see the room arrangement
alone, but he sees various arrange

will be carried down TO the founda-

Select Pure Cotton Seed.

Why did you not raise a longer staple cotton this year, have it classed by the government cotton classers and sell on grade and length of staple and get a higher price? If the staple of your cot ton was less than one inch in length you planted the wrong va riety. Select the proper seed for next years planting now. Do Nor PLANT HALF-AND-HALF and other extremely short varieties. Select a good standard variety and know what you are raising. The planting of mongrel varieties is bad business. The following are a few of the good standard varieties. For further information write to the Extension Division, Fayettville:
 Triumph, Sproull and Rowden, medium early to late, big boil. good staple.
 Cleveland (Wanamaker) medium to late, big boil, good staple.
 Trico, very early, small boil, good stsple.
 Express, very early, small boil extra staple.
 Weber and Foster, medium early medium bolls, extra staple.

Keep More Brood SOwS.

The world must have more fat hog fat. There is only one way to secure it and that is to keep more sows and raise it. The South af- lords an unusual opportunity for hog raising because we can raise a great variety of hog feeds that the Northern farmers cannot raise and
 - can have green feed nearly ev- cry month in the year. This is all true and everyone should keep more of their breeding stock, but where are we going to get more good soWs for those who do not already have them9 In answer, it is said that the farmers of the North ard West are selling their sows instead of feeding high priced corn. Why not get together, buy comparatively and ship in earloads2 We have brought in high class cat tie in this way. Why not spend some of that good cotton money and import good sows and few registered boars at this time2 Let us start one breed to a community, raise real breeders and feeders and buy and sell comparatively? There is money in the hog business if operated right. Write to the live stock specialist with the Extension Division, Fayetteville, for advIce.
