adding a wide porch they also have
the attractive appearance of homes
that cost a great deal more.
In the accompanying design the ar
chitect has followed the idea of giving
to the home builder the greatest
amount of space for his money by
making the house nearly square, but
has taken away the plain effect by ad-
ding the broad porch. This house is
of frame construction set on a con-
crete foundation. Its dimensions are
only 26 by % feet, exclusive Of the
porch projections.
This is what is known as a ship

on the house itself, the porch and the
dormer window making it's appear
ance good. But 1t is the interior ar
rangernent that makes this design out
of the ordinary. Inside, every inch Of
space has been utilized, while all the
cOnveniences that make modern homes

in the respects mentioned is an in
vestment that no one will be sorry for.
The average person who builds
knows little about construction meth
DDS and materials. Also he does not
know how to plan the interior ar
rangement so that he will get the
most in comfort and satisfaction for
his money. There are, however, in
every place men who do know, because
1t is their business to know. They
are the architects, contractors and ma
terial dealers. 1t is economy to con-
suit these men before building.
Through experience in building and
by study they know many things about
building that will greatly aid the pro-
spective home builder. BY consulting
them costly mistakes may be avoided,
and the new home will be just what
it's name implies.
What it will cost to build from the
design shown also may be learned by
consulting these men. Building costs

have the frills, but 1t has a solid, COM
Portable and substantial appearance.
In considering the plan for the home
that Is to be erected. the prospective
builder should take into consideration
the lot on which 1t is to be built the
location and his pocketbook. In the
first place it is not good business to
have the lot cost all out of proportion
to the house, nor the reverse. A thou
sand-dollar lot should have a house
costing about five times that much.
Should the lot be located in a section
of the city where the homes are elab-
crate, a small plain house is out of
place. And above all things the build
err should not try to build q house be-
yond his al to pay. There are
thousands of home builders who have
secured their homes on the contract
plan. that is, by paying 81 much a

were unable to meet the payments.

other, should be used.

Bacon and Forseth recently re-

they engaged in a number of combats
with enemy planes. and are prepared
to exhibit some sensational flights.
Both men are Grand Forks men and
for this reason the feature will have
added interest to visitors throughout
the county and state.
The machines that the flyers will
use are the JN-4D machines. with 90
horsepower engines with dual control.
The planes were formerly used by
the government in an aerial gunnery
school for aviators and are of the
latest type. Recently they made sue
cessful flights to Langdon. and are
scheduled for exhibitions in Cando

HOPPER DRIVE

Bait Holds Up Work.

The grasshopper campaign is being
carried on very successfully in the In
fected districts of the western part of
the state, according to State Field
Agent A. j, Surratt. who returned
Sunday morning from a tour Of that
part of the state. The hoppers when
first appearing were especially hard
on the rye crops. but have recently
turned their efforts to the devastation
Of the wheat and oat crops. stated Mr..
Surratt.
In many infested communities the
work was handicapped by the lack of

is of bran, while in others there is a
shortage of arsenic. Where there has
been plenty of material h results
have been very encoura ging. but a
great deal of material is needed owing
to the fact that BY the time one crop
is killed another has Matched put and

the shortage Of poison bait. With a
continuance of the, energetic CAM
paien that is now being carried IN by
the farmers and the agricultural
agents it is expected that the state
damage can be kept down to a mod
crate figure.
1t is considered certain that the per-
sistent efforts of the farmers in the
infested communities will largely re-
duce the possibility of a bad infesta-
ton in 1920 and in completing the
campaign for their eradication every
effort is being made to have as large
a plowed acreage and as thorough a
cultivation as possible this fall and
next spring.. The idea is to leave as
little as possible unplowed ground in
which the hoppers' eggs will be able
to hatch. Flowing the ground is con
sidered one of the best ways of de-
stroying them.
It has been found that the infesta-
ton usually follows a dry year. but
by a thorough cultivation this fall
and the return of more normal
weather these conditions will greatly
help in the campaign to stamp out the

u. S. Manufacturers

Auckland Geddes, president of the
Board Of Trade said in the house of
commons the other day that Ameri-
can steel manufacturers were quoting
prices for steel in the United King
dom lower han those quoted by Brit
ish manufacturers. Nevertheless, he
said, the government was not prepar-
ed to restrict The importation of iron
and steel because of the demand for
it in Great Britain.
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir F. Hall de-
clared that the American steel manu-
%facturers were underselling British
steel in English markets by. ninety
shillings a ton and upward. He ask
ed Sir Auckland If the government
was going to do anything to protect
British steel manufacturers from this
American competition. This evoked
the reply that the government intend
ed to impose nc restrictions at pres
ent.
There is a very great demand for
iron and steel in this country at pres
ent and our producers are not able to
meet it," saia Sir Auckland Geddes.
Our foreign trade demands a large

ed into things to be expected.

w. DEARING MODERATOR

MONTGOMERY CITY, Mo-, April

year, and Rev. H. B. Banks, of Mex
leo; DR.. Eugene Abbott of Fulton,
Rev. L. R. King of Williamsburg, DR..
u. W. Elwang of Columbia, as clerks.
DIR. Alonzo Pearson of Fulton, discus
sed Thursday the subject of the
church and its finances, which is very
important, in view of the conditions
that confront the denomination in the
various counties. The Presbyterv
(South) Church is trying to raise
$3,50O,000 this year.
A trial sermon was reached by Rev.
Edward Wilkes. He failed to answer
certain technical questions on church
history, but he preached what was
pronounced a very sound sermon from
a theological standpoint, on 'The Con-
version of Paul." and was licensed.
Speaking on the money question,
DR.. Pearson told of a st. Louis Chris
tian who was assessed $3.50 by the
church board for the year. After
reading the Bible he reported that his
and his wife's part for the year, ac-
cording to the Scriptures, was 1875,
instead of $3.50.
