 Landcrs' Plans Unchanged The rumor floating about town for the past few days concerning a change in plans for the new Landers factory which is being erected on WOodford
 avenue is but a rumor and is en- phatically denied by one of the off cials of the plant. The rumor was to the effect that the plant would con- tain two factory buildings. each two stories high, and that an expansion of the local business could be expected in a very short time. The contra ct for the erection of the building was given to the Torrin gton Construction company and work has already been sta rtcd. The contract calls for the erection Of 8 four-story brick building and specifics tho time when the fac tory must be completed. AIr. Water,

Whenever the subject of building a
home is brought up everyone agrees
that it is most desirable thing to do.
And while many thousands of persons
build homes every year there are other
thousands who could do SC, but don't.
However, since the American people
have come face to face with the fact
that unless they own their homes, they
are at the mercy of landlords and that
| the rent they now are forced to pay
for homes will pay for place of their
own. home building is becoming ex-
ceedingly popular.
Obligating oneself to pay for home
on the monthly installment plan Is not
+, taking such momentous step as Is
| generally thought, when it is coEsi6-
! cred that for great many years, ev-
cry family will, it is hoped, need a
place in which to live. Move as they
may, the fact still remains that they
will continue to pay for the place in
which they live until they die unless
they own their home. Perhaps this
may be new thought on this sub
! ject, but 1t is as true as the sim
plest of truths.
As has been pointed out in these
articles before, the man who pays rent

reasonable rate Of interest on the

make this a fine home from the ex-
terror. The sun parlor, placed at the
end Of the porch gives the home owner
comfortable, pleasant sitting room
during the cold weather.
Taken as a whole this is an excep-
tionally good design for the prospec-
tive home builder. However, the plan
may be changed in minor particulars.
In selecting a home design, it always
is good plan to consult the local
architect, lumber dealer and, contrac-
tor. All may have suggestions that
will make the home better from the
owners viewpoint, and save something
in the cost of materials and construc-
ton. For example, there are some
parts of the country where the source
Of supply Of one material is a great
deal nearer than another. BY using
the most available materials, a goodly
sum in freight rates can be saved with
out detracting from the beauty or quail
ity Of the house.

money invested in it, plus charge
for the time of the owner or agent who
manages it--collects the rent, sees to
the repairs and redecoration and the
many other things required in the
management of rentable property. It
Is these extraordinary expenses that
make 1t possible to buy home on the
installment plan for the same amount
that is paid in rent.
The principal drawback to buying or
building home in this manner, how
ever, is the lack of the first payment,
which is considerable because the own
er or builder must have some surety
that the purchaser will fulfill his con-
tract. But there is a simple and easy
manner in which this first payment
may be secured. Systematic saving of

that will make them convenient and

For the many with good-sized fam
lily, the house shown in the accompany
ing design is good. 1t has no costly
features, but it is good to look at, has
a substantial, prosperous appearance,
and its interior. is planned for conven-
fence and comfort And best of all,
it can be built for reasonable amount
of money.
The dimensions of this house are g.
by SO feet, which is a. size that will fit
well a lot of so feet, or even1ess, and
allow good-slded front and back yards
and space on either side, SO that no
matter what sort of building Is
erected on an adjoining lot it still will
be light and airy. The house contains
eight rooms, sun parlor, bath, and has
a full basement under it, and consid-
cradle attic space.
The floor plan shows the layout Of
the rooms and their dimensions. On
the first floor are four rooms, living
and dining rooms, a library or den and
kitchen, besides the sun parlor. Four
bedrooms and bath are on the second

Birds.

In all excursions to the woods or to
the shore, the student of ornithology
has an advantage over his companions.
He has one more resource, one more
avenue of delight. He, indeed, kills
two birds with one stone, and some
times three. If others wander, he can
never go out of his way. His game is
everywhere. The cawing Of crow
makes him feel at home, while new
note or a new song browns all care.

HUN FARMS READY FOR WORK
Factory Districts In Germany Still
Complaining About Terms
Of ArmlstIce.

Coblenz.-The farmers are preparing
for their spring work throughout the
occupied area. Restocking OF farms is
progressing rapidly. A canvass within
the area of the Thirty-second division
shows that the farmers now have 754
horses as against 1888 on November IL.
Insistence by the allies upon the
prompt compliance with the armistice
terms has brought continued complaint
from German factory towns.
Essen complains, for example, in the
fast few weeks, $4,000 cars and 5000
locomotives have been sent out Of that
district and that as a result traffic
has been greatly reduced. It is as
serted that the food and fuel shortage
has been made serious by the inability
to move supplies.
The food shortage In the Coblenz
area Is considerable but perhaps not
SO serious as at Cologne, much larger
city, where there has been greater
influx of discharged soldiers. The
population is returning to work as rap
idly as possible, but the inability to
procure fuel supplies on account Of
the German miners strike has de-
layed the reopening OF many work
shops.
