Permanent Court
 of Nations Draft
 Now is Prepared

The Hague, May 22.-A draft for the permanent court of International Jus tice of the League of Nations, as it has been offered to the Secteriat of the league in the name of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland and Holland, has been made public by the Dutch government. It is the re- suit of the conference held in the Peace Palace atthe Haguein February.
 Absorbing to the plan the court would consist of 15 judges and six substitutes, who must all be recog- nized authorities on international jus tice. It's members would be chosen by the assembly of the league; the judges to be appointed for nine years, the substitutes for six.
 The members would be elected with out regard of their nationality but no more than' two judges of the same country could hold office in the court. They would be re-eligible but they would have to resign when 66 years to pension, which, like their salary would be fi9ed and paid by the League.
 The duties of the court would be to adjudicate differences between na- tions and it would be competent to act on all cases in which it's decision is asked.
 The Permanent Court of Tnterna- tional Justice is provided for in Ar ticle XIV of the covenant of the League of Nations. The Council of the League of Nations at session in London in February announced that committee of 12 distinguished inter- national jurists including Elihu Root of the United States had been invited to prepare plans for the constitution of the Court. MT. Root accepted the invitation as did Lord Phillimore of England, Baron Descamps of Belgium, Dr. Loder of Holland, and M. Vesnitch of Jugo- Slavia No plans as formu- lated by the committee for the or ganization of the Court have yet been announced.

1t often has been said, and statistics
seem TO bear 1t out, that farmers fam
HES are considerably larger than those
of city dwellers. For this reason. farm
ers need plenty of room-the one-room
condensed apartment would be out OF
place In the country. A large family
calls for a large home and plenty of
bedrooms-the surrounding farm gives
the children all the playground they
need. In the final analysis some one
has to raise large families to offset the
decreasing birth rate In the cities due
mainly to ~congested conditions, and the
farmer assumes the burden. He has
the compensating feature, however, Of
getting his children's help when they
have grown up. In the face of the ex-
listing shortage in farm help this fac
tor becomes tremendously important.
In order to keep his IONS on the farm
after they have grown to manhood one
Of the first things he should do is to
make home life and surroundings as
attractive as that of the cities.
For this reason he should build a
substantial, modern home. In this
home he should install as many of the
latest conveniences and comforts as his
means will permit. He should build
this home so that 1t will be attractive
both inside and out.
In the case of the farm home shown
here with floor plans, that result has
been foremost in the mind of the build
