SCHOOL FUND CANNOT
 BE USED ID BUILD SAYS CO. ATTY. LANEY

That the general school fund cannot be used for building purposes is the opinion of L. NJ. Laney, county attor- ney, who has informed the trustees Of the various districts that the statutes expressly provide that this fund be used for the maintenance of the schools and that building can be had only by voting bonds by the school electors.
 It was the belief of the trustees of certain of the rural districts that the expense of building could be covered from the general fund. A. L. Jones. county school superintendent de clared that was an erroneous belief and asked an opinion of the county
 attorney, who held it illegal to use the fund for purposes other than those set forth in the statutes. 1 Superintendent Jones states yester- day that a large per cent of the dis 1 tricts had voted bonds for buildings. ] a number of which will be completed ] with the opening or school in tl4e autumn.

opinion, based upon an investigation from ocean to ocean, that the entire democratic party membership, almost
 without a dissenting voice, is in favor
 of the league of nations, and that the majority of the members of the repub- lican party, the forward-looking DOT tion of that party, are also in favor of the league, and that they prefer to follow the advice of the real leaders of their party and to think for them
 selves rather than listen to the voices of the reactionaries who are making such a clamor.
 q sincerely hope the league of ma tions matter may be kept out of poll tic, and not be made a matter of
 party or a partisan issue. I believe the people as a whole are so thor 1 oughly in favor of it that they will
 not stand for making it a party issue

Having decided upon a location for
the new home, or before making the
final decision, you should select or
commission an architect to look after
the entire building transaction. This
should be done with the same consider
alton that lawyer is retained, for
you arc placing several thousand dol
lars in property depending largely
upon the architects judgment and
ability to handle the kind of PROPOSE
ton you have in hand The profession
Of architecture as it is to-day is so
varied and broad in its scope that one
man cannot know all the details about
all kinds of buildings and types of
construction, unless he is genius, and
there are but few. This is a day of
specialization, and many architects
specialize upon various classes of
work, such as public buildings,
churches, schools, Office buildings, the
aires, factories and dwellings,. The
work of those who specialize in a par
tcular branch of work will be found of
a higher quality in that particular line
everything. Large architectural Offices
handle many kinds of work, having a
specialist in various types Of work. A
large organization, however, cannot
handle the small house proposition
economically, and the majority do not
care for this class of work. In adj
diton to the design, plan and equip
ment, comes the architects ability to
get the most out of a proposition for
the money invested, which requires
intimate knowledge Of the class of
work in hand. With the present high
cost Of material and labor nothing can
be wasted. Rooms should be of size
that permit the use Of full length of
stock sizes of lumber, so that all Of the
material is in the house, and not 20
per cent of it in the scrap heap.
House Should Fit Location
The location will often determine the
type of house to be built. and certainly
has q great deal to do with the plan
Therefore, it is we'll not to make up
ones mind too positively as to type

Dutch Colonial Best in Small Houses
One Of the most appropriate types

the roof lines down to the first story.
This gives appearance of breadth to
the house, much to be desired. There
is honey, comfortable feeling about

The house illustrated, which was
ago, is an example of this type, the
principal characteristic being the gam
brel of Dutch roof and the front porch
with it's slender square wood columns
and sweeping roof. "a To meet modern
living conditions, however, the porch
has been made wider than was custom
airy in the old houses, and to make
the second story more habitable there
is a long dormer with windows
