To the majority of people, four
walls. a roof and sanitary plumb
ing SMELL all that they have looked
for in a home. But there are vary
ing degrees of physical comfort
within four walls.
The compact fOur-room house mere
shown. which provides all the re-
uuisites Of a home within the limits
OF twenty-six feet by thtrty-four
feet. represents the last word in In
expensive construction.
Kitchen small.
The kitchen is small. the stove
and the sink are well lighted. The
refrigerator is near the kitchen
door. There is also a ulace with
shelves and drawers for china,
linen and silver as well as kitchen
utensils, cleaning closet for
brooms, dust cloths, ETC. and stair
to the cellar.
In combination with the sink and
drainboErds are the washtubs.
The uving-room is planned to be
used also for a dining room.
The bedrooms and bath are con-
nected by a tiny hall off the living
room. \ stair leads up from this
little hall to the storage space in
the attic.
Porch RoOmy.
The porch is rOomy. though small.
The only luxury that has been in
duIged in is a small closet in the
living room which balances the
chimney projection at the opposite
corner Of the room and furnishes
a recess for a seat. This closet
may be used for coats or books.

ARBOR DAY TO
Be OBSERVED
HARDING ISSUES A
PROCLAMATION TO OBJ
SERVE THAT DAY
no the Peonle of Iowa.

TO the People or Iowa:
The air is again filled with the
fragrance of young life. The spring
time season is here. Beauty in new
ness meets the eye everywhere.
The stately and aged giants of
the forest have reused themselves
from the slumber of winter and
with bud and blossom announce
again their perpetual life and use
fulness. They teach lesson of ac-
tivity and utility.
Trees are both unitarian and or
namental. They were the protector
of the pioneer, and are the necessity
of present and future generations.
He, who plants and nurtures tree,
has left an estate for the children of
tomorrow; and on the other hand, he
who destroys tree without putting
another in it's place, has robbed the
children of tomorrow of gift nat
ure intended for them.
AS a people and state, we have
been wasteful and destructive of
natures gift in tree and forest until
today there is not enough left to
properly and adequately house our
people and supply their needs. Can
we afford longer to continue our
present inaction toward the problem
Of replenishing the trees and forests
of our state? The problem is so
vital not alone to ourselves, but to
the future of our country, that we
should act. Every citizen and ev-
cry organization within the state
should have some part in planting
trees this springtime, and especial
ly is this true of the boys and girls
in the schools.
Permit this one suggestion, that
each community plant tree or trees
as a memorial to the soldiers who
gave their lives in the late war. Let
this planting be done with appropri-
ate exercise. and il possible with ex-
service men present. Let record
be made of the event and someone be
appointed to nurture and care for
the tree, or trees, thus planted.
By doing this, lessons of patriot
ism will be taught; the memory of
sacrifice made. will have a living
monument, and our debt toNthe fu-
ture will be acknowledged and in
part paid.
Therefore, I, w. L. Harding, Gov
ernor of the State of Iowa. do pro-
claim Friday, April 80, 1920. Arbor
Day, to be observed throughout the
state by all the people by the plant
ing of trees.
In testimony whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused to
be affixed the Great Seal OF the State
of Iowa.
Done at Des Moines. this eighth
day of April, 1920.

GUTHRIE CENTER MAN
GIVEN ENDORSEMENT
SPLENDID RECORD AS DISTRICT
JUDGE MERITS ELEVATION
To SUPREME BENCH

Center, for thirty years on the bench
in the fifth judicial district, is can
didate for judge of the supreme
court on the Republican ticket. In
his own district and elsewhere he has
the endorsement of the leading men

sponsibility<re unquestioned and we
take this opportunity to lend our en-
dorsement to his candidacy and re-
commend him to the Republican

careful consideration.
He is by no means a stranger 10
the people of Audubon. Many of
the business men have heard of his
splendid record and take delight in
saying good word in his behalf.
The people of Guthrie county are
more or less associated with the peo-
pie Of Audubon county in business
and political matters and it would
seem altogether fitting that Judge
Apologize should have the united
and unqualified support of the peo-
pie of this county in his candidacy.
That Judge Apologize is highly re-
garded where he is best known is at
tested by the fact that lon Thursday
Of last week a meeting of the mem
bers of the bar association of the
fifth district was held in the city Of
Perry. This meeting was attended
by large majority of the lawyers Of
the six counties comprising the dis
trict. After a banquet had been

ton of the state at large the candi-
dacy of the Hon. j. II. Apologize of

flee of Judge of the Supreme Court.
1--WE have known him so long and
so favorably that 1t is with pleasure
and without reservation we recon-
mend him for this high honor.
HE is a man of exact and broad
scholarship; of high judicial ability
and of wide experience at the bar
and on the bench.

poise, for the high order of his abil-
ity, for his great and untiring indus
try and energy. for his splendid cour-
age and for high character and repu-
tation.

He protested vehemently to Ref
cree Smith and then to Zbyszko and
demanded that the Pole go for the
second fall.
The match was scheduled as a
finish bout, in fact it was insited up
on by ZbyszkoS manager, Jack Cur
ley, and Meladay demanded that the
contract be carried out or the Pole
would forfeit his share Of the gate
receipts.
This argument struck the Pole in
tender spot and he agreed to go
on. He made a motion as though
to appeal to the crowd, asking it If
storm of "yesses" and bowling bis
head in acquiescence, he stepped in
to the ring.
Caddock wasted little time with
the Pole. After butting heads for
about half second, Earl threw
Zbyszko to the mat with an armhold
and went on top. Working for a
half nelson he caused the Pole to
slip to one side and then there was a
flash as Caddock switched to a head
scissors and wrist lock and the Poles
shoulders went down in one min
ute and SO seconds.
That Caddock would win was
practically certain few minutes be-
fore the first fall came. Earl hurl-
ed the Pole through the ropes on the
south side of the ring and the Pole
fell on his right shoulder on the
edge of the boards. Quick work by
the men in the first row at seats
saved him from falling to the cement
fcor. The fall injured Zbyszko's
right shoulder and from then on he
protected it,
Caddock fought hard to get hold
en- that arm and every time he touch
ed Il the Pole grimaced., Not be-
ing able to get such hold. Caddonk
picked the Pole. up again and threw
him through tue ropes on the east
side Of the ring. This angeri the
Fole and he started to rough the
Iowan and rashed him to The ropes
several times in trying to heave him
in which the Pole tried TO heave Earl
to the mat.
Caddock would grasp the ropes
each time to save himself. 1t was
the followup of one these rushes
in which the Pole tried to heave
Earl backward over his head and
resulted in his own downfall.
1t was a fast match throughout.
The Pole mixed freely with the
Iowan and both fought hard. Cad
dock showed superiority to a mark
ed degree in his ability to shift from
hold to hold and in countering the
attacks of the Pole. The great
strength and bulk of the Pole, how
ever, made the big majority of the
holds ineffective.
Caddoek was given but one
chance at a head scissors, his fav-
orite hold, before he secured the
first fall. Time after time Earl
tried to get the Pole into position by
using a hammerlock, but was never
able to make it.
Zbyszko used very small num-
Der of holds. He tried for ham
herlock nearly every. time and on
one occasion had Caddock'ss shoulders
almost touching. It was Just after
the one hour and 80 minute mark
had been passed. The Pole secur-
ed the hammerlock on Earl's right
arm and it seemed as though fall
was certain. For minutes and
Is seconds Caddock stood the excru-
ciating pain.
His arm was bent far behind him
and his eyes were getting CLASSY.
Suddenly he shifted his position a
little. This threw the Pole off his

balance and he was forced to change
hands on the imprisoned arm. This
gave Caddock his chance to escape
and with another sudden twist he
broke the hold and climbed to his
feet.
Caddock had another narrow es-
cape early In the match. After
about 16 minutes of wrestling the
Pole secured body scissors and bar
arm and the Iowan escaped only by
ma gnifieent bridge. It was a
brilliant piece of work.
During the first fall Caddock was
behind twelve times for total Of
SO minutes and 81 seconds while
Zbyszko was behind eleven times for
81 minutes and % seconds. Cad
dock was behind all Of the second
bout.
