who is scheduled to appear in Far

be called upon to fight his own flesh

and close friends are in the German
lines. He is a naturalized American
citizen and has been drafted, from
Arizona, and for the mention
ed reason greatly regrets the possi-
hility of fighting against, Germany,
although he resents keenly any infer

to- be known as a true American, al

Local Lodge To

At an important meeting OF the
Fargo Degree Of Honor lodge, which
will be held the second Friday in

decision will. be made, as to what
work in the line of Red Cross aid
shall be taken up by that organiza-

Mrs. p. ]. Reilly is chief of honor for
this lodge in Fargo.
An important feature of the last
Degree of Honor grand lodge ses-

was a discussion as to what part in
the Red Cross work this order should
take. 1t was decided then to place
the matter in the hands of the vari-
Gus local Degree of Honor lodges in
North Dakota, as some might find
certain lines Of Red Cross endeavor
more convenient than others.

enough wool being produced in the
United States to provide every man

Many Divisions of
French Army Now
Sleep Underground

French Front, July 16.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-
Dozens of divisions of the French
army now sleep underground in COM
paratiVe comfort even in the front
lines when the Germans are hurling
tens of thousands of shells on the
ground above them, thanks to the
work of the companies of excavators
formed since the beginning of the
war.
The men chosen to construct these
shelters, which have preserved so
many thousands of lives, are soldiers
whose age varies between IS and so
and who would have been unfit to
take part in the active operations of
modern battles, where quickness of
movement and lHheness of limb are
absolute necessities. No matter what
the nature of the soil, whether hard
rock, quicksand, chalk or marshy
land, these veterans have overcome
all the difficulties and have succeeded
in constructing formidable bomb
proof shelters all along the line Of
the front from the North sea to the
Swiss frontier until at the present
moment any fighting unit arriving at
almost any part of the line finds
habitable dug-out awaiting it,.
The correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press has seen and been inside
dozens of these subterranean cities
for such they may be termed--at
many places, and, even where all the
natural conditions are difficult, has
found the shelters 'commodious, we'll
drained and well-Yentilated In some
places a battalion finds aecommoda-
tion in a single shelter, and each man
| lodged in it is provided with a simple
bed consisting of wire-netting
foundation supported by wooden, up
rights. On this the soldier lays his
regulation bundle of straw and. COW
kering himself with his army blanket
and greatcoat, can sleep with free
dom from anxiety as to any bonn
bardment in progress outside. The
shelters are provided generally with
electric light or acetyiene lamps, san
itary conyeniences. and, in some cas-
.es, with complete shower baths.
"The Quakers may be depended
upon, however, to prove loyal to the
nation and to human liberties"
writes Horace Maher Lippincott,
"even If they show it in as peculiar
way as one of their number who
was a ships captain and lay at
anchor in a foreign port. Espying a
piratical looking fellow coming up
rope over the side of the ship, he
said:
Friend, if thee wants that rope
thee can have it, and he cut the
rope, letting the marauder down to
a watery grave, quickly and quiet
ly."

in excess of the 10 on each coupon, or
any shipments not accompanied with

Dakota srlquet Coal.

Pierre.-The first carload of the new
briquet coal from the North Dakota
minos has been received in Pierre,
and it is found to cost 1910 delivered
in the coal bin at the home OF the
purchaser. This coal is the new pro-
cess, perfected this past year, which
is of interest to North and South Da-
kota people because OF the vast UNI
used coal veins which underlie por-
tions Of both of these states. The bril-
quets are clean. shiny, and nearly as
big as an ordinary brick. The freight
from Scranton, N. d.. by the carload
was 1898 a ton. II 1t proves good

ton OF the coal problem in the Da-

expensive or otherwise, and the man
OF limited means should guard against
the selection Of a house which requires
an excess expenditure for this pur-
pose. Most bungalows may be suffi-
GENTLY decorated by the use Of ex-
posed rafter ends and perhaps false
purlin ends or puriin brackets on the
roof. These things do not represent
an Objectionable increase In cost and
they are very effective. Artistic case
ment windows may be used to produce
a most effective appearance without
excess cost. If the material which he
selects for the walls of his house Is
brick, he should not use special bonds
Let the wall decoration consist of a
soldier course Of brick entirely around
the house at grade or such a curse
above the windows. Avoid decoration
which requires excess labor and is
likely to incur a loss of materials due
to cutting the building units into ir-
regular shapes or sizes. The architect
or the contractor who Is familiar with
the design of residences is fully ac-
quainted with the matter of inexpen-
sive yet effective house decoration and
he knows how to design the house so
that this sort Of decoration is all that
is needed to round out the appearance
of the house into what is artistically
pleasing.
Coming again to a consideration of
the bungalow which is illustrated here
and which we have selected as repre-
senting the average of the Western
type in the matter of decoration, con-
slider, first, the exterior design Of this
residence. The walls of this attrac-
tive bungalow are made Of pure white
stucco which can be placed on either
wood OF metal lath. This method Of
construction is becoming more popular
all the time and 1t has many good fea-
lures that will recommend it to the
home builder.
The front of the house Is particu-
larly ornate because Of a happy COM
bination of details including the at
tractive entrance, the easement win
dows, the French doors, louvre ventlla-
tors and roof lines. The porch is built
with no roof and Is made very invit-
ing by the broad door, flanked by
windows. TIE projecting roof with its

false purlin ends is typical of bunga-
low construction and is thoroughly In
keeping with this particular design.
The dark finish of the roof and front
door provide a pleasing contrast with
the white walls Of the building. The
effect Is carried out by the dark fin
ish of the window sash and the face
brick coping used on the porch rail.
The small brick panels set in the wall
surface furnish a novel means Of re-
lieving the monotony of unbroken wall
surfaces. Another unusual decorative
feature is the balcony with its orna-
mental iron railing In front Of the
French doors.
The floor plan shows a room arrange
ment that Is very pleasing-the living
room especially is just the sort Of a
room that one would expect to find in
q home with such an artistic exterior.
This room is entered directly from the
front porch and its large size presents
a pleasing aspect. Ii Is 20 by Is feet
and a large fireplace is located in the
center Of the outside wall with double
easement windows on each side. This
room is connected to the dining room
by double French doors.
The dining room is well lighted by
three easement windows. Opposite
these is a built-in buffet that will add
to the usefulness and convenience OF
this room. The kitchen Is almost a
model for a house Of this size. 1t is
small and compact and is arranged TO
cut the work that must be done to a
minimum. The pantry contains the
refrigerator which Is Of the type which
can be iced from the rear entry, a
small door being. built into the pantry
wall for this purpose. The bedroom
arrangement, having the bath placed
on the hall connecting the two bed
rooms is excellent. The entire ar
rangement is simple but its conven-
ience could hardly be improved upon.

The modern American bungalow
may be and usually is constructed
with as much care and contains as
high a grade Of materials as would
be used in the largest residences. The
use of poor materials ard the tolera-

omY in this smaller building just as 1t
is In any other building. A warning
might be extended to those who have
selected the bungalow style but do not
have a great deal of money to invest
in their home: Do not be misled by
the belief that 1t is necessary to load
down the bungalow with elaborate or
namentation in order to obtain an at
tractive home. The Western bungalow
