A REAL ARCHITECTURAL ACHIEVEMENT

You've seen rows and rows of
square houses of the old box type
and may have wondered why peo-
pie did not follow more attractive
designs in building. The square
house has. however. some very
practical advantages.
In the house-plan shown here
the architect has preserved all of
the advantages of the square type
of dwelling. but he has produced
design which has an original and
distinguished appearance. This house
is one which will attract favorable
attention anywhere.
There is a full-length veranda,
from which entrance Is made to a
large reception room.
The second floor has three large
bedrooms and one small one which
measures 9 by 2 feet. The smaller
bedroom is just the thing for the
little boy or girl who wants sep
arate bedroom. Just like grown
folks"
The size Of this dwelling is %
feet by 33 feet. 1t is a real archi-
tectural achievement

peCtive home purchaser can form
his opinions OF what the company
Is doing 20 provide him with the
best possible home at the best pos
sible terms.
Different Types
The houses are OF several differ
cnt types both in Interior arrange
ment and exterior design. No two
OF the same type will be placed to-
gcther or near enough so that the
arrangement will give a monotinous
impression.
According 10 w. d. TeepIe, city
building commissioner who has
made "A personal inspection OF the
houses the buildings are superior 10
any that could be constructed by
an individual at similar cost.
They are erected on a foundation OF
reinforced concrete which forms a
basement running the full length
and width OF the building giving as
much room IN the basement as in
the first floor.
The various designs call for four
and three room floor plans. In the
case OF the three room plan the
slons but with larger rooms with
u
All Space Utilized.
There is hardly an inch OF unutil-
/ lied space in the interior arrange
ment. Each house Is provided with
/ roomy closets and a bathroom with
all fixtures included in the pur-
chase price.
The living room OF each type Is a
roomy compartment which with tho
arrangements provided for in the
| plans can be made 10 serve as a bed
/ room by night At the end Of the
room thanked on each side by ar
tistic built-in bookcases is an ina
door bed which can be folded lNck
into the wall during the day. The
door which closes over the bed gives
the appearance OF French doors
opening into an adjoining room.
The kitchen is as convenient as
scientific arrangement can make IT.
A wall cabinet built into one Of the
inner walls contains a sink in the
center thanked by a cabinet Of draw
ers and cupboard on one side and
stove on the other These are built
into the house and included in the
selling price.
Dining Above.
A unique feature of the building
which does away with the necessity
for a dining room thereby saving
space for other purposes is the ar
tisticly designed dining alcove oc-
cupying the space between the kit
chen and living room. The little
compartment contains a built-in ia
bic and benches of superior finish
and is capable OF seating II persons
With the built-in beds. bookcases.
dining furniture. kitchen stove and
cabinet and bath room fixtures
there is little left for the purchaser
TO furnish except the living room
and bed room. The idea of the COM
pany is 10 assist the young couple
just going TO house keeping in every
way possible by providing the most
important parts Of the furnishings
in the original cost Of the house.
Although no exact figures can be
reached until the houses have been
completed II is estimated that the
houses will range in price from $4,-
600 10 $500. They will be sold on
the cooperative plan now being
worked out by the company by
which the employe can own his

POST MOORE. AMERICAN
LEGION

All the ex-seryice men in this
county or community who wish to be-
come charter members of Post Moore,
American Legion, No L, for Trego
county had better come in. as soon as
possible and sign up the application
for the charter. 1t has been held open
for the last several weeks and about
one hundred of the boys have placed
their names on the application which
is being held for others 1t will not
likely be held open much longer as it
is desired to get the charter for the
local Post and get it in working or
der. The regular meetings are held
on the second and fourth Thursday
evenings of each month which
viii make a meeting at the
court room in Wa-Keeney this even
ing and the next meeting in two
weeks. The World has no hesitency
in boosting all it can for the Amerl-
can Legion and in urging those quar-
flied to become members of the or
ganization- In time there will likely
be organizations at Collyer and OgaI-
lah but at present the disposition Is
to concentrate on a strong organiza-
ton at Wa-Keeney for the purpose OF
obtaining some sort of a memorial
building to the memory of the boys
whose lives have been sacrificed and
| to those who offered their lives on the
| altar of their country. Such an under
| taking is laudab1e and it is to be hop
| ed that the citizens of the county vii
| heartily cooperate with the servics
men in accomplishing this purpose
| While this is being worked out w.
| would urge all ex-service men to be
| come members of the American
Legion and to sign up at once if the.
| wish to become charter members O

BEATRICE ARNOLD GETS PRIZE

Beatrice Arnold is very proud Of
the fact that she has won the prize
heifer and calf which was being offer
ed by the Cash Produce Co, of Wa
Keeney, in a contest which closed the
evening of December 31st. She is
justified in feeling proud because she
won valuable prize. The contest was
started several months ago and the
decision was to be made in the favor
OF the person who received the larg-
est number of votes based on the
amount of cream and other produce
sold to the Company. In the entire
contest over five thousand tickets or
votes were used but they were pretty
well scattered and the decision was
made on total of 421 votes. She is
decidedly in the lead over any other
candidate, the closest competitors be-
! ing Edward Zeman with 23S, M. +
Walden with $50 and Mrs O. L. Berry
| with 195. The contest has been con
| Quoted in very satisfactory manner
| and the Cash Produce Co, has made
many good friends and steady custo-
\ mers by conducting it.

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bert
Moore in this county will be sorry to
learn of the death of their little son
as result of having been run over
by an automobile on November 18th
last. Just how the accident occurred
we have not learned. Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore formerly lived in this county
on the J. r. Wilson farm southeast of
Wa-Keeney and have a number of
friends who extend sympathy in their
time of sorrow. Willis Wayne Moore
was born in Douglas county, Kansas,
April 10, 1908 and died at the home
of his parents at Kanapolis, Kansas,
on January 1st, 1920, aged IL years,
eight months and thirteen days. He
was the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore and his death is mourned by
his parents, two brothers and one sis
ter, besides other relatives. The body
was buried at Quenemo, Kansas.
Wayne was a sweet, sunny disposit-
ioned little fellow, always having a
kind word and pleasant smile for
everyone and he will be greatly miss
ed in the home.

TO COLLIER CORRESPONDENT

Your Collyer correspondent IS eth
er very ignorant of the true condi-
tions or very selfish and dishonest in
the representations.
Only ten thousand dollars are lev
led in Trego county county
bridge fund out of which all bridges
must be repaired and new ones built
Two floods have occurred within the
last two years that have destroyed
that much property each time, all
other bridges or those improperly
built with no foundation to keep them
from undermining as is the case with
the one south of Coliyer.
/ There are several places where
| they have been without any kind of
a crossing and where the travel is
necessary as the one referred to by
your correspondent for not a few
weeks only, but for two years to say
nothing of the new bridges that were
| intended to be built when the levy
| was made.
Now your correspondent makes out
that the commissioners who fix the
order of the repair construction
| were putting all the money in one
place and makes great complaint be
| cause there was a little mud
! Collyer township has had in the
past two years more than 40 per cent
of the entire levy spent within her
borders and Franklin 20 per cent,
25 per cent went to Ogallah, leaving
the rest to be distributed as near as
could be where most needed.
Now good temporary crossing
was made that would serve the peo-
pie until the men could get around to
it and men have not been plentiful SO
| that many days were put in when it
was improbable to work for the rea-
son of the rush.
Had those good people who suffer
shoveled a few cubic yards of snow
Il before it melted they would not have
been IN the fix thes found them
selves besides they would have re
ceived pay for the necessary work Sc
whose fault is it that they wallowee
in the mud
I shoveled more snow by myself
{ and for no pay at all than they wouIe
have to do and have done so years be
| fore when I lived on a route ava,
| from town.
Our funds were exhausted long be
fore October 1st and there was N
way to carry on work with out none,
although it is fair to the Collyer banl
to say that it did and is the only on
to carry the warrants is why NOR
was done in Collyer than elsewhere
. One thing more. The men were a
work at the very bridge at the yer
same time and on days when the
= ought not to work, even when you
correspondent was writing the articI
in question.
