BETTY swINK FLEMING

/, At 4;30 o'clock Sunday morning,
December z, 1919, aftera lingering
and painful illness Of scarlet fever, the
Towering spirit Of little Betty Swink
Fleming, cherished daughter and only
child of William N. and LYDIA Swink
Fleming, took its upward flight from
its frail body to the radiant fields
Elysian. ~"ta1 .
Betty came to bless their home on
! March IA, 1918. She was a beautiful,
sweet and winsome child, but only for
few fleeting years was she to bright
en- and gladden. their home, weaving
about their hearts the silken tendrils
! OF love and JOY and gladness, now torn
and bleeding with bitter sorrow and
! bereavement that human sympathy
and words cannot assuage.
This 5ympathy we may and do give
with ful measure, yet how poor and
unavailiaw when the heart is break
ing with ita weight Of grief. Were
there not another q divinor, source Of
consolation, how desclate end barren
ljfa would be. But the twin sisters,
F4lyh and Hope, reach out their 6ead-
.ttfal hands TO push away the insy
lleals a. a9gr3W and taSLair that We
may aaa as through a veil the happy
ismile and reckoning handa on the
shining shoras where Faith and Hope
assure us, we shall again clasp our
missing loved ones to our hearts
Hes it all seems so obscure, so an
real, SO far remote, that finite vision
fails to g. asp its reality; and SO we
glope along III the lowering darkness
of our sorrows, recalling the patter-
ing Of little feet along the floor, the
winsome smile and laughing eyes, the
velvet touch of baby fingers on our
face, the fond pressure of cheek
against cheek, and the sweet, warm
embrace Of dear little arms about the
neck, thus counting our cherished
treasures DER and Ger, and while we
pray Infinite Love to help US bear the
cross as we linger in the Gethsemane
of anguish, and to repeat with His
blessed Son, "Thy will, not mine, be
done" t. d. F.

CHARITY TAG-DAY

Saturday, December 18th, Farming
ton will hold its first annual Tag Day
for the benefit of its Provident Asso-
citation, or, we might better say, for
the benefit of the poor within our
gates, who are already calling on the
Charity Association for assistance.
The stringency in the coal situation
and the high cost of living are adding
greatly to the number Of those who
will need help during the coming win
ter months.
So, buy tag for "Sweet Charity's
sake" from the women and girls who
will sell them on the downtown
streets Saturday, giving what you can
that some one less fortunate than
yourself may be fed and warmed
these bitter winter days.

 Closets Take Up Much Room.
 Now, ordinary closets take up an astonishing amount of good space. Look at some floor plans, and it seems as if almost half the space is given over to dark closets. This, of course, cuts. down the size of the useful rooms.
 There is this queer thing about clothes closets, too. The only part of them that is used is the wall space. Valuable squares of floor surface are fenced off just to provide wall space for hanging up garments.

By w. A. RApFoRD.

MT. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he IS, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie avenue, Chicago, H., and only enclose three-cent stamp for reply.
 In these times of high prices, every square foot of the modern house has to be put to it's best use, and if any scheme can be devised for making one square foot do the work of two, the home builder is the gainer. We are all keen for holding down building costs as much as possible, yet home builders won't stand for any cutting down or doing without on home con veniences. Better and more compact building is what is wanted.
 This is a challenge that has stirred the creative ingenuity of manufactur- CTS of building appliances. They have tackled the problem with gusto, and in many instances have devised some really worthwhile improvements.
 Consider, for example, wardrobes or clothes closets. We all know how fussy the women folks are about hav- ing lots of clothes closet space. It seems there can never be quite enough,

robe solves this clothes closet prob lem in the logical way. It is an idea that is just coming into use in resi-. dences, hotels, office buildings, apart ments, etc. In designing the bunga- low illustrated here, four of these new telescopic fixture wardrobes are pro- yided for. One is in the front vesti bule for coats and hats; two double wardrobes are provided in the front bedroom, and one double wardrobe in the rear bedroom. Notice the small amount of space these require. They are only 20 inches deep and each sin gle unit two feet wide; yet each ward- robe containing four square feet of floor space will accommodate from eight to sixteen suits or gowns (f anyone has that many). An old-style closet to give the same amount of hang-up space would require at least 70 lineal feet of inside walls. which means a closet 4 by, 6 feet on the floor.
 Telescope Carrier Solves Problem.
 The detail drawing shows clearly how these wardrobes are. arranged. A metal carrier, nickel-finished. is hung from the under side of the hat shelf. From this carriage the suit hangers are suspended. The carriage works on a telescopic principles light pull brings the whole outfit out into the room. so that every garment Is in

Quicksilver in Arizona.

The present exceptional demand for quicksilver in the manufacture of full minate gives the domestic deposits of this metal particular interest. De posits recently discovered in the south ern part of the Phoenix mountains, ten miles northeast of Phoenix, Ariz., are described in short paper pre- pared by F. c. Schrader, published by the United States geological survey. The deposits are easy of access, and, being near the rich agricultural region of Salt River valley, are, otherwise fa- vorably situated for mining. They are being exploited on six or more proper ties or groups of claims, which lie in belt, about three miles wide.

helped out of tight places very often by using these space-saving ward robes. This bungalow was to go on a
 narrow city lot and so had to be kept down to width of A feet. Ample wardrobe space was required, yet there was no room for ordinary clothes closets. The space-saving wardrobes were provided, and it turns out that they not only do the work much better, but actually save from S2OO to $500 in the cost of the house.
