In one corner Of the kitchen. which
Is II by IL feet, there is breakfast
nook, with partitions half way TO the
ceiling. Under the window is the din
ing table. while ON either side are
built-in seats. This is coxy place
for the members of the family to have
breakfast and luncheon, and even din
ner If desired. Another popular ar
rangement in the kitchen is the sink
underneath the window. The entry
leading to the rear porch is of sutii-
cient size to accommodate the ice
box, so that it can be iced without
going into any of the rooms.
Ranged along the opposite side of
the house are two bedrooms, each II
by IL feet, with the bathroom be-
tween. A small hall connects the two
rooms. Entrance may be gained
either from the outside through the
front bedroom or through the hall from
the living room. 1t win be noted by a
study of the floor plan that great
deal OF closet space is provided.
The basement extends under the
whole house and provides room for
the heating plant and fuel. and space
for storage of vegetables and other
articles. Easements OF modern homes
usually are divided with full parti-
tons, which makes for cleanliness and
prevents the heating plant from warm
| ing the storage rooms.
This design Is equally suited for
country or city. except in the larger
cities where restrictions as to fire
proof construction are in force. BY its
arrangement 1t has the efficiency of q
five-room house, without the cost of the
extra room.
There are many good reasons why
everyone who can should build home

This bungalow is 80 by SO feet Q

Built Of standard frame construction
this bungalow is not expensive to

terror features also are the terrace on
either side of the entrance and the
small side porch.
The four rooms consist of combi-
nation living and dining room, kitchen
and two bedrooms. Off the kitchen
also there is breakfast nook, to be
used by the family when alone.
The living room Is of extraordinarily

MOTOR TRUCKS TO AID ROADS

More than $45,OoO,0C0 worth Of mo.
tor trucks are about to be distributed
by the secretary Of agriculture
through the bureau of public roads to
the state highway departments. These
trucks have been declared surplus by
the war department and are being dis
tributed to the states under the pro-
visions of section Of the post office
appropriation bill. They must be used
by the states ON roads constructed in
whole or In part by federal aid, for
which $200000,000 in addition to the
former appropriation was given to the
states under the same bill. All that
the states must do to acquire the use
OF these 10000 trucks, which range In
capacity from two to five tons, Is to

nishes the house to suit his ideas that
1t will be sold and his work and out
lay will be lost.
1t does not require great amount
Of ready money to build home; but
1t does require considerable amount
of character to assume the burden of
paying for a home. However, as the
years go by that monthly sum that
heretofore has been spent for rent will
be paying for home, and accumulat-
ing an asset that is as good as a bank
account.
In building home, care should be
exercised in selecting the lot with an
eye to its future value and In picking
the design for the house. A costly
house should not be built on an mex
pensiye lot; neither should a high
priced lot be secured as site for an
inexpensive home. In the event that
the owner wants to sell, he will find
that In either of the cases mentioned
he will be a loser. A good proportion
of costs is about one-sixth-a $4,000

ROADS AS DIVIDEND PAYERS
Where Good Roads Enable Farmer to
Save One Hour Per Week He
Makes Big Gain In Year.

If farmer saves an hour week
by being enabled to use good roads
as opposed to bad roads, it would
mean So hours year; estimating the
use Of man and team as being worth
SO day, this means saving Of $31.20
a year.
Suppose his farm is assessed at
$4,000, and the additional tax levy
due to the issue of road bonds by the
county runs to 81 per thousand, which
would mean $40 a year additional
taxes as against saving of S31.20 on
time alone. This means that he Is
investing $40 and drawing dividends Of
$31.20, an interest rate Of 312 per
cent.
