Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-09-11
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

A couple of years ago state agri-
cultural secretary sent out question
naire to several hundred wives of
farmers Of his state, and among the
questions was this:
eff you could have only one Of the
modern improvements in your home,
which one would you selects"
Two-thirds of the answers received
declared for "some system of running
water"
This illustrates the demand in rural
districts for homes planned to contain
the same cOnvenienceS that are in
stalled il practically all city and town
houses. And the architects, who spe-
cialize in farm buildings, are taking
their cue and are planning just such
homes. The bath room, which a few
years ago was built into a compare
lively small percentage Of farm homes,
now is in every design. Also, the
plans call for wiring for electric lights
and the many home conveniences that
electricity makes possible.
Herewith is illustrated a modern
farm home that is economical to build
but has embodied in it the features
that the present-day builder wants and
demands. The house is slightly rect.
angular in shape, the dimensions be-
ing 80 by "a feet. The front porch

20 by feet, the attic window and the
hip roof break the straight-line eff
feet and make the house attractive,
while at the same time, there are no
irregularities that are costly.
The arrangement of the seven
rooms is shown by the floor plans that
accompany the perspective. The front
entrance is through a good-siZed hall,
out of which runs the stairway to the
second floor. The living room is 16
by II feet 9 inches, and has five win
dows, which insure that it will
be a bright and cheerful place for the
family to gather. The dining room is
slightly smaller, Is by II feet 9 inches,
and is connected with the living room
by double doors. The kitchen is prac-
tically square, being II feet by II
feet inches. Off the kitchen is a
good sized pantry and wash room.
The arrangement of the latter will
appeal to the farm hOusekeeper. 1t
will be noticed that it can be reached
from the kitchen, the back porch and
the dining room. This obviates the ne

MUCH OIL FOUND IN INDIA

"The natives of India dig for Oil
which they strike at from SO to $50

able to obtain oil by this method for
their use. The oil Of India has large
paraffin base and will be marketed in
England, and also used in the great
industrial plants of the Indian en-

cries in.Burma and the other Indian
oil regions, and they will be the prin-

II have been in India before. in
vestigating the oil fields, and in my
opinion, it is destined to be one of the
great fields Of the world, as the oil is
there in large quantities and is Of an
excellent grade. being superior to the
California oil and on par with the
Texas product"

On the second floor are three bed

UMATILlA MAY HAVE
FIRST COUNTY Y MAN
Pendleton Has Raised. All
But $500 Of $2250
Allotment.

Umatilla county bids fair to be the
first county in Oregon to have a coun-
lty Y. NJ. c. A. secretary. according to
John II. Rudd, interstate secretary
for county work of the Y. NJ. c. A.,
here from Portland. Pendleton has
raised all but $500 of its $2250 quota
and several of the county towns have
raised the entire amount allotted TO
them.
With w. p. Walter. district secre-
tary, Mr.. Rudd has spent yesterday
and today soliciting CERTAIN local pre-
cincts untouched by their committee
heads. In every instance they have
been rewarded with subscriptions and
checks, not pledges, given. Both men
feel encouraged at the showing they
have been able to make and predict
that with a little personal solicitation
the prescribed amount will be raised
and secretary installed in the county
in time to take up work in the fall.
Weston has sent in a check for its
full amount and Freewater also has
raised its quota. Hermiston, in the
west end has met its quota and is
waiting for the other county towns to
do the same and allow the system to
be instituted. Other towns had to
give up the soliciting work when hay
ing began and little progress is expect
ed until after the harvest.

Poverty is almost unknown in the big
cities, Mr.. Baum declares.
The middle west and east is exper-
iencing the greatest prosperity in his
tory and every person who will work
is employed at good pay. he said. The
factories have more orders than they
hope to fill for months. they cannot
get help enough to operate to full ca
pacity as they would, and are paying
higher wages than have ever been,
known. The industrial prosperity and

ance are both tending to lift up those

| PORTLAND. Ore. July S.-The
body of Esther Chapman, the year
old daughter by adoption of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. ii. Chapman of 1O22h Haw-
thorne avenue, was found in the west
end OF Oswego Lake by party of
grapplers headed by Hugh Brady,
and her father. at 1870 o'clock this
morning. The body was recovered
near where she was last seen at 4
o'clock Friday afternoon.
Lodged in little hole In the shallow
sands slightly beyond the stone pier at
the end of the lake. the little body
was found in water barely beyond the
child's depth.
City Grappler Hugh Brady. com
plying with requests of Lake Grove
residents and the parents. went to the
scene of the strange disappearance this
morning and had been working for
less than two hours when the body
was brought to the surface.
Theories Are Dissipated.
Finding of the body dissipates all
the various theories that had been ad-
vanced to account for the girls dis
appearance. Searching parties both
in this section of the lake and in the
woods, had seemingly
secured the country and the lake bot
tom SO thoroughly that it was believed
the child could be any |
