In 1927, he had sufficiently recovered

Without a doubt the most satlsfac.
tory method Of securing a home is
to build 1t. BY building the owner
gets a home of the right size for his
family; its exterior appearance and
interior arrangement will conform to
his ideas of how a home should be
laid out, and he will be able to keep
his requirements within the range Of
his financial ability.
This is the year Of home building
and every man Of family who has
been paying the high rents now de-
handed Is either building a home Of
his own or considering building one.
While It is considerable of an under
taking to assume the financial obllga-
lions necessary in most cases. when
the home is finished. the owner Is

INCREASE IN VALUE
OF FARM PLOW LANDS
Something Occurred That May
BE Called Phenomenon.
Least Rates of Advance Are Found In
New England and Middle Atlantic
States-Upward Movement
N Corn Belt

When farm pillow lands increase In
value per acre by one-flfth in one year
and by one-half in four years, some
thing has occurred that may be called
a phenomenon" These increases in
value are indicated by the results Of
Investigations by the bureau of crop
estimates. In March, 1916. pillow lands
In the United States had the average
value of $3.50; In the same month in
1917 the average was $62.17; In 1918
1t was $6s3s; in 1919. $74.31; and at
the same time of the year In 1920,
$90.01, building values In all years not
being included In the average.
The average value of 1920 is "a per
cent above that of 1916. As per cent
above 1917, 80 per cent above 1913.
and q per cent above 1919. Hence IL
appears that by far the greatest rate
of yearly increase was from 1919 to
1920. To the extent that plow-land
values are related to crop prices. this
lag in the advance Of land values be-
hind the advance In crop prices Is ac-
cordlng to rule.
Values approximately doubled In the
South In four years, and that is q part
Of the country where pillow lands have
low values. They are overtaking the
higher values Of other states. The
least rates of advance in values are
found In the New England and Middle
Atlantic states. In the corn belt.
where values are highest, the upward
movement is strong.

During the last few years one idea
about home building has been radical
ly changed. That idea is regarding
the size of the house. There was a
time not so many years ago when
practically every one ewho built
house had in 1t a number Of spare"
rooms. There was a parlor on the
first floor that was seldom used I'M
less there was company. A spare
bedroom, or two, usually was incor-
porated into the plan for the second
floor. Now there are practically no
"spare" rooms, while in the cities
many homes and nearly all apart
ments are constructed so that one or
two rooms do double duty-are used
daytimes as living room or din
J ing room and by the use Of cQpcealed,
beds become bedrooms at night.
A home that contains sufficient
room for medium-sized family is the
sixroom square bungalow, shown IN
the accompanying illustration. This
house contains three good-slzed bed
rooms on the second floor, so that
a family of four adults easily can be
accommodated, and by doubling up"
there is room for guest or two TO
stay over night. At the same time
this home is small, being only 81 feet
square. AT the present cost of build
ing more room or larger house than
the needs of the family require Is
sheer waste of money, and considera-

ment excavation is under the whole
of the house proper and is finished
with q cement floor. The basement
should be divided into rooms; one for
the heating plant, one for fuel storage
and one for food storage, leaving
room for the storage of lawn and gar

ing design is excellent and will pro-

lily that will not cost an excessive

Whenever those who have in mind
the erection of a home see a home
building design that appeals to them,
one of their first thoughts is what
will 1t COST" Building costs are diff
cult to estimate with any degree of
accuracy, because so many factors en-
ter into them. There is the question
of shortage or abundance of the skill
ed labor required TO build home !;
there is the great variance Of freight
rates on the materials, and the loca-
tion of the building site in relation
to the source of material supply and
labor. For those reasons 1t never
Is safe to say what home of GER
tain design will cost. But it is an
easy matter to secure estimates of
cost. The local architect, the con-
tractors who will be asked to bid on
the building and the material dealers
all can give pretty good estimate OF

walls is paneled by the use Of q
square lattice work. but 1t is not good
policy to plant vines to cover the trel-
lis. because vines discolor lhe stucco.
However, the lattice work takes away
the plainness of the wall. The colo
NAL porch, at the side, with settees
on either side is a good exterior fea-
ture. while the brick floors to the
porches add another attractive touch.
How the six rooms are arranged and
the size Of each one are shown by the

r thy time has come said
a loud and clear voice;
the lions await thee
az am ready said the Athenian. He
had bent his limbs so as to give him
self the flrmest posture at the expect
ed rush of the lion, with his small and
shining weapons raised on high, in the
faint hope that one well-dlrected
thrust might penetrate through the eye
to the brain of his grim foe.
"But to the unutterable astonish-
ment of all, the beast seemed not even
aware of the presence Of the Grim
inal. At the first moment of its re-
lease 10 halted abruptly in the arena,
raised itself half on end, shutting the
upward air with impatient signs; then
suddenly 1t sprang forward, but not
on the Athenian. AT half-speed 1t
circled round and round the space,
turning its vast head from side to side
with an anxious and perturbed gaze,
as If seeking only some avenue of es-
cape; once or twice it endeavored to
leap up the parapet that divided 1t
from the audience, and, on falling, ut
tered rather a baffied howl than its
deep-toned and kingly roar. 1t evinced
no sign either OF wrath or hunger. its
tail dropped along the sand, instead of
flashing its gaunt sides; and its eye,
though 1t wandered at times to Glau-
Gus, rolled again listlessly from him.
At length, as If tired of attempting to
escape, it crept with a moan into its
cage and once more laid itself down
to rest
"The first surprise of the assembly
at the apathy of the lion soon grew
into resentment at its cowardice; AID
the populace already merged their
pity for the fate of Glaucus into angry
compassion for their own dlsappoint-
ment. The manager called to the
keeper:
asHow Is thisf Take a goad, and
prick him forth, and then close the
door Of the den.'
"As the keeper, with some fear,
but more establishment, was preparing
TO obey. a loud cry was heard at one
