stores away In his mind the plan for a
home and when the time comes for
him to build, these ideas will come to
the front. That is why it is well to
consult an architect about a home de-
sign. The architect can work out
the prospective builders ideas, and
at the same time protect him from
costly mistakes.
There are, however, home designs
that will suit the ideas of almost every
prospective home builder. Many thou
sands of homes have been built that
are different in some respects from
any other. And it Is by studying these
designs that the prospective builder
gets good ideas-ideas that appeal to
him and ideas that have proven good
in actual construction.
A home that will meet with the APP
proval of discerning home builders Is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. Here is combined economy in
cost of construction with beauty; COM
fort in the interior arrangement with
convenience in room arrangement.

A house is place where we eat and
sleep; home Is the place where we
really live, and enjoy living. That
expresses the difference between a
house rented and home owned, and
supplies the reason why the United
States is fast becoming a nation Of
home owners.
Building is the most satisfactory
way OF acquiring home of your own.
The design Of house represents the
ideas Of the person who built the
house, or of what house should be, or
the investment builders opinion Of
what should appeal to the greatest
number Of prospective purchasers. But
when you build your own home 1t will
represent your ideas and contain those
little touches that you want. BY far,
building is the most satisfactory way
of securing home.
The United States has no recog-
nized school of architecture. 1t Is a
comparatively young nation, and there
fore could profit by the development
Of the arts Of other nations. Ameri.
can architecture represents what is
best In the architecture Of the older
nations, but where the United States
excels is in providing conveniences
that make q house home-comfort-
able, efficient and healthful. Archi-
tects have borrowed from other ma
lions the beauties Of their architectu-
raj designs and discarded that which
is not beautiful.

or any other building, the American

Different STORAGE
HOUSES NOW In USE
Insulated Structure Best Adapted
to Southern Climates.
Aroostook Type With Concrete or
Masonry Basement Walls and
Wooden Superstructure Is
Product of Maine.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment, of Agriculture)
The insulated potato house is not
used extensively, and as rule is bet
ter adapted to southern than to north
ern climates. The construction fea-
ture of such a house is the thorough
insulation of it's walls, ceilings, doors,
and windows. In northern locations
such a house must be heated by
stove.
The Aroostook type Of storage house,
with concrete or masonry basement
walls and wooden superstructure, is
distinctively a product of Maine ana
confined largely to that state. 1t Is
expensive and is always located on
q side hill or knoll in order that adj
vantage may be taken of ground level
entrance. The Easements are usually
from s to IL feet deep, and most OF
them have a capacity of several thou
sand barrels. Generally the only pro-
vision for ventilation is by trapdoors
in the floor through which the filling
of the bins is completed. Occasional
ly a ventilator is found in the roof.
These houses, although practical in
Maine, will never supersede the dugout
pit or storage cellar now used in the
middle and far western states. Each
Of these types Of storages has distinc-
tive features which peculiarly adapt it
to its own environment, but do not
necessarily preclude use in other To-
calities.
The artificia1ly refrigerated potato
storage house is confined practically
to the storage of northern-grown seed
potatoes held in cold storage for sec
ond-crop planting in the South. There
is little demand for such a house IN
northern sections, but it is thought
that community cold-storage plants OF
this type could be proftably used by
the southern truck growers, as they
could purchase their supplies OF seed
in the fall and have them delivered be-
fore the arrival of cold weather. The
seed potatoes could be stored through
out the winter in the house and be
available in excellent condition Wnen
desired the following season.

so arranged that the work OF caring
for them will not be arduous. The
living porch or sun parlor Is 16 by IL
feet 6 inches, and is equipped with
broad easement windows, SO that 1t Is
all that the name, sun parlor, implies.
Double doors open into the porch out
OF living room that extends across
the whole front OF the house. The liv-
ing room is 20 feet long and ID feet 8
inches wide, and has large fireplace
lat the end opposite from the porch.
Opening Off the living room at right
angles Is the dining room, also large. II
is 13 by 20 feet. In the L, which Is
formed by thesliving and dining rooms,
are the kitchen, adjoining the dining
room and the wide, open stairway out
OF the living room. The kitchen Is 8
feet 9 inches by II feet inches, large
enough to accommodate the needs or
the family, but not so large as to
make the work performed in 1t tire
some task, Two doors lead out of
the kitchen, one to the porch ut the
side and the other adjacent to the
rear door of the garage, which is OF
the same architectural design as the
house. Upstairs there are three large
bedrooms, the bath room. and good
sized sleeping porch, equipped with
a space-saving bed, which also makes
the room available as sewing room
or upstairs living porch.

tic exterior appearance, and at the
same time the extra expense that is re-
quired for broken wall lines to get a
pleasing exterior effect is eliminated.
The house may be of either frame,
brick or hollow building-tile construc-
ton, and covered with stucco. The
living porch and the terrace walls are
of face brick, which add greatly to the
beauty of this home.
1t is in the interior arrangement
that the women members OF the family
of the prospective builder win be most
Interested. The floor plans that &C

how well the architect has utilized the

architect Is without peer. In the
American home will be found efficiency
accompanied by comfort and conve-
nience without the sacrifice Of either.
There are no homes in the world so
comfortable and so convenient as the
American homes. Couple these adj
vantages with exterior beauty, and the
owner has home that comes as near
being ideal as possible.
Selecting a design for a home is
rare fun. Every normal person has an
idea of what his home should be. He
has seen feature of a home that he
wants, and another feature Of another
home that he will put into his own
when he builds. He unconsciously

Thousands of farmers who faced the
harvesting of large hay crop last year
with fewer hands than usual to help do
the work owe their success in handling
and saving their crop to hay stackers.
The hay stacker is to stacking what the
horse fork is to putting hay in the barn,
a saver of man and labor. 1t lifts the
stead of man power. When hay is load
ed on the wagon by hand and unloaded
by stacker one-half of the hand labor
is eliminated. If push rakes or hay
leaders are used in connection with the
stacker the laborious task of pitching
by hand is entirely avoided.
Useful in East and South.
In the East and South, where much
of the hay grown is stored under cover,
a stacker could be used to advantage
when it becomes necessary to stack,
especially where labor is scarce. A boy
who can drive q team can take the
place of a man In the haying opera
ton. Two men AMI boy using load
er and stacker will handle about 70 per
cent more hay for each man during a
day than three-man crew loading and
unloading by hand.
Hay stackers are classed in two gen.
eral types, one having teeth ON which
the hay is gathered and brought to the
stack on push racks; the other con-
sisting of stackers that do not receive
hay directly from push racks, but han
die it by means of horse forks or
sings. Both types are comparatively
inexpensive and can usually be made
at home with material that is available
or which can be readily assembled on

Help Yourself.

Do not exaggerate your faults. The
girl who tells herself that she SIS the
most selfish person in the world" or
that she has "the worst disposition Of
any girl in the school," is likely to suf-
fer a reaction in the form of discour-
agement. AS you help others by be-
lieving in them, SO help yourself by
giving yourself full credit for what
is good in you, and not making too
much Of your faults.-Girls' Compan.
