MUST NOT STEAL FROM
THE RAILROADS NOW

Amarillo, Texas, Aug, L. Stealing
from railroads under government con
lrol and operation is II violation of
federal law which the United States
Rnilroad Administration Is vigorously
enforcing. The Santa Fc Hallway Is
now posting biz plarar,lS of warning
on direction Of the administration.
"rhc federal law" says This poster,
makes it felony, punishable by ten
years imprisonment, to steal from any
railroad ear:
"To break open or To enter such
ear with intent to steal
"To obtain by fraud or deception
from any railroad ear, station house,
platform. steamboat. vessel, or wharf,
any goods or clnttclS which constitute
or are part Of any interstate or
foreign shipment or
"'ro buy. receive, OF have possession
of such goods or chattrlS knowing the
same to have been stolen
"NiulntionS of this law will he Wig
urously prosecuted
The losses suffered by the railroads
from theft every wear run into many
millions of dollars. The United States
Railroad Administration Is therefore
taking energetic action to reduce this
heavy drain on the railroads. Many
yiolatorS have already been apprehend-
cd. speedily convicted and given heavy
sentences.

The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-02-01
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

For neat appearance, pleasing bal
ance and harmonious color scheme, the
little house shown in the accompanying
perspective view is attractive to q
marked degree. One Of the principal
features of the design is porch which
is thoroughly adaptable to the design.
The house expresses comfort and hos
pitality in its appearance, due very
largely to the effect of the porch. A
low arched effect is used across the
front of the house and the ends of the
porch have a similar treatment; the
vertical measurement of the curve is
the same for these two arched effects,
however, which gives that at the end
considerably more of a curve than that
across the front of the house. The
graceful effect obtained by the use Of
these false arches is well shown in the
perspective view.
The typical bungalow lines are not
sacrificed in any way by making this
home of the story-and-a-half type. The
low fiat dOrmer breaks up the roof ex-
panse and gives decorative touch to
the design while, at the same time,
abundant light is furnished to one of
the rooms on the second floor. Rafter
ends are exposed across the width Of
the main roof and the dormer roof.
SiXteen-light windows are provided in
the dormer and large plate glass Win
dONHs of the double hung type, having

quires that the tics be delivered on
the right of way, and to do this the
gulch must be crossed. For this pur-
pose Martin felled small spruce
tree from brim to brim, and, when
he finishes a tie, shoulders it and
packs it over.
A party of hunters appeared upon
the scene few days since, and, not
daring to attempt the frail cross
ing themselves, asked Martin why in
the name of all-possessed he did not
fell safe footing across the chasm.
The tie-cutter replied that for his
purpose an eight-inch log was as
good as an eight-foot log, and it had
not occurred to him that it was dan
gerOus.

MADE-IN- GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation &C.
cording to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministratiOn.
The stories bothering Canada are
Of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in battalion of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
"It lies with every individual to for.
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority OF
people yet realize"
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-02-01

pleasant. The contractor could, at
small cost, fit in some attractive book
cases and whatever else might be need
ed to conform with the owners ideas
regarding such room. The man 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 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 for
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 roof of this type
lower than the ceiling line of the Sec
0nd floor rooms. Few people will toll
crate low rooms 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 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 fea Tres of the exterior. There
Is no object. on to a closet which has
a sloping ceiling, provided portion OF
1t has sufficient height so that all Of
the clothes which must be hung in it
will be kept off the floor. The bedroom
closets in this type of house, then, may
be placed under the roof on either side
Of the dormer and very little space
is actually wasted.
A full sized basement is excavated
under the house. 1t is divided off into
heater room with handy coal bins
which may be shut off while being
hlied to prevent dust from covering
everything in the basement, laundry
| room with tubs installed and yege-
table room having a built-in case for
fruit.
