Billings.-The Great Western Sugar
company has just announced that it
has been definitely decided to estab-
lish for the campaign of 1920 the
eight-hour working day This applies
TO each of its factories. w. L. Lawson,
assistant general manager at the Bill
lings plant, states that the plan has
been under consideration for a couple
of years, but owing to the stress of
war conditions, its practice has been
delayed. President w. L. Petriken of
the company has just authorized the
announcement.
The running period of a hous each
day Will be divided into three shifts.
one working from a. m TO 3 D. M,
one from 3 p. m. to II p. m. and one
from IL p. m. to a. IN. This expert
ment is the first Of IFS Kind to be tried
out by any beet sugar company and
will present many new problems in
the industry, the most important of
which probably will be the securing of
trained crews.

their position in the matter more en-

In the era of home building that is
here there will be, more than ever,
much individuality shown in the de-
sign accepted, because those who are
building homes now have the adj
vantage of many different styles of
architecture and home designs that
have proven best through use. The
home builder usually builds but once
in lifetime and when he builds he
erects the type of home that meets
his needs, suits his ideas of exterior
appearance and is arranged to his
taste.
Accompanying this article is shown
the exterior view and floor plan of an
exceptionally attractive brick house,
with a garage of the same style of
architecture. This house will appeal
Immediately to the automobile owner,
while the interior arrangement will
challenge the attention of every house
keeper.
There are thousands of home build
ers to whom brick houses have an es-
pecial appeal. Brick is the oldest of
building materials, having been used,
in some form or other, thousands of
years before civilization began. This
may be the reason for the preference,
but there is no denying that brick
homes are attractive and have very
substantial air.
The design shown herewith is of the
bungalow type of story and half
house. The exterior wall in the gables

The cost of building now is higher
than 1t was before the war. This Is
because the cost of producing the
materials and of the labor that goes
into the building is higher. But the
percentage of increase in the cost of
building is nowhere near that of 9TH
err necessities. Prices of materials
have been stabilized for the year
there is the positive assurance that
they will not be higher, neither will
they be lower And every indication
is that they will go higher in 1920.
Thus does the prospective home build
er have the assurance that IT will cost
no more to build now than q year or a
few years from now, while by building
at once he will have the use of his
home and will save just that much
rent.
Owning home and living In 1t.
however, has many advantages over
renting. When a home is paid for it
is q great asset in a financial way.
The family that lives in their own
home have many advantages In a so
cial way. And there is the satisfac-
ton of having home planned as you
want it and of the size you want; dec
