regarding such q room. The ma who
appreciates his home and spends some
of his evenings reading or planning for
the future is sure to obtain full re
turns for the money which he Invests
in the fitting out of such a ROOM.
There are three full height bedrooms
on the second floor, each opening On
the hall which runs back to the stairs.
Generous closet space is provided Cor
each bedroom. The bath is placed at
the rear, near the head of the stairs.
All of the rooms are well lighted and
pleasant. In order to keep down the
height of the house, for the sake of
appearance, 1t is always necessary to
place the cornice of a roof of this type
lower than the ceiling line of the Sec
ond floor rooms. Few people will toll
crate low oom or rooms having the
ceiling sloped down at the end and
this must be avoided in this type of
house. 1t is done by the use of large
dormers, such as that shown in the
accompanying perspective view. Such
dormers, properly designed, do not de-
tract from the good appearance of the
house; in fact, since they break up the
expanse Of roof, they are a benefit to
the appearance of the building. BY
the use of a decorative cornice, attrac-
tive windows and perhaps a small bal
cony with railing of pleasing design,
the large dormer is made one of the
striking features Of the exterior. There

Potatoes May Freeze.

Many thousands OK bushels OF South
Dakota potatoes are in danger of be.
ing frozen and destroyed because suf-
icient men cannot be hired to dig
them. Strenuous efforts now are be-
ing made to find some manner OF saw
ing the potatoes and getting them out
of the ground. Recent cold weather
froze the surface of the ground and
badly damaged some of the potatoes
yet in the ground, but the great bulk
OF them yet are in good condition and
win prove a valuable crop If they can
be harvested within a few days and
placed in a safe place. Such potatoes
as are saved will have to be dug be-
fore the ground freezes 20 a greater
depth. The recent freeze damaged only
a small part of the crop yet in the
ground, and II the entire crop is saved
1t will be necessary to sort the tubers
and keep separate from the others
