1t certainly pays to build home;
ask anyone who has one. And now is
the time to build. While prices are
higher than they were before the Unit
ed States got into the war, they will
not be lower for many years to come;
in fact, prices of building materials
have not advanced in proportion to the
cost of other necessities, which leads
some experts to the belief that they
will be higher.
There will be thousands of new
homes erected this year. And by just
as many thousands as there are new

Heard Him, All Right.

Germany's Stifr-necked denseness
in sensing the necessity for her strict
compliance with the first arinistice
terms, and her braZen indignation at
the harder ones imposed as penalty
for nonfulfillment of the first. make
one think of the banker at Weeping
Water, Neb., who was asked by an
impecunious farmer for Il loan. The
banker was one of those people who
are deaf for commercial purposes. The
farmer was chronically wanting to bor-
row, and his security was getting
shaky.
I'D like to borrow $1,000" pleaded
the farmer.
The banker cupped his hand behind
his lame ear and said:
Speak a little louder and cut down
the amount"

University Of Fl Char.

The lei Ezhar university at Cairo.
Egypt. is the oldest university in the
world. unless we believe q tradition
that King Alfred founded the Univer-
sity of Oxford. 1t is pretty large uni
versity, too, as 10000 students oc-
cupy its classrooms and throns its
galleries. These students come from
all parts of the Moslem world. The
Mosque of FL Ezhar supplies to all
willing to learn the gratuitous instruc-
ton which ancient universities were
supposed to give. Not one of them need
pay plaster for his education or his
maintenance. Their textbook is main
" the koran. which Is supposed to
contain all human wisdom and knowi-
edge. FL Ezhar was repaired and
beautified by Tewfik. the khedive
whose mysterious and sudden. death
was probably due to haters of the Eng
lish.

lis at TIE rear corner. How weA the
fixtures are arranged In the Kitchen,
so as to make the work easy, is shown
on the floor plan.
OFF one corner of the Ginning room
is hall, at the end of which is the
bathroom. Both bedrooms, IS ny IL
feet, also OPEN off this hall. Plenty
OF closet room is provided, there be-
ing one in the vestibule, one in each
bedroom and one in the hall.
Under the whole of the hous is the
basement, which is reached by stairs
| opesing off the kitchen. The flue for
the heating plant is at the front, so
that tarat portion of the basement may
be partitioned off, to keep the heat
and the dirt from the fuel away from
the vegetables and other storage rooms.
| From this brief description and from
the exterior view and the floor plan, 1t
may be seen that this is an exceptional
bungalow design. However, it always
| is well to consult an architect before
building. In comparison to the advice
he can give the prospective nullder,
1 his fee is small. 1t is easy to make
costly mistakes in building, and with
reputable architect these will be
avoided. The cost of this bungalow
can be ascertained from him, or the
local contractor or material dealer,
there being no fixed price on labor and
materials that will apply to all parts
of the country.
Buying a home is not hard mat
ter. In almost every community bank
ers, real estate men and local cham
bers of commerce have devised, or are
now devising, plans that will enable
any reputable man Of family to build
his home this year. After the house
is erected, the cost can be paid as rent,
covering a period of years. In this
way every man can own his home.

lleve that renting home is cheaper
than buying one. If this were so there
would be no investors in rentable prop

paying for the house he lives In, but

Only One Unanswered.

Practically every argument which
Senator johnson has made but one
was answered by the president while he
was in California. Mr.. Wilson failed to
explain why American troops stayed
in Siberia and why more Of them were
still sailing for Russia. Tho anti
league newspapers are offering that
concrete fact Of the present as against
the presidents promises of the futurs
and the president has not yet given an
idea of what the United States gov
ernment is driving at in its Siberian
policy.
But as to the other points made by
Mr.. johnson, while the president did
not mention the junior senator from
California by name nevertheless his
audiences seemed familiar with the
senator's arguments and we're intense
ly eager to hear Mr.. Wilson'S answers.
The president made even clearer than
he did at San Francisco, the back
ground OF the Shantung award.
He told how Germany, Russia, France
and Japan had each compelled China
in 1893 to give them territory for long
periods, most OF them for % years,
and how helpless China was forced to
give up her sovereignty in these leased
territories. He told how the United
States under William Mckinley and
Secretary John Hay did not make a
protest and he said that II was not
planned, too, how Japan forced Russia
OF commercial opportunity. He ex-
would not have done so If they could
but that under international law they
could only express their interest with
respect to American trade and equality
