FAAKESHIFT BUILDING
EXPENSIVE IN THE END
American Builder Says Trend Is
Toward More Durable and Sani-
tary Construction.

Among the things we have learned
from past building experiences is
that makeshift construction is very
costly in the end. no matter how low
priced it may seem in the beginning,
says the American Builder. We are
turning steadily toward more durable.
safer and more sanitary construction.
American homes as built in the past.
while they are convenient and beauti-
ful have three Deficiencies: They are
not fire resisting. not durable and not
sanitary.
Builders Of modern homes. whether
OF moderate. cost or of the most pre-
tentious kind. demand these qualities.
Architects and builders have found
that III the concrete house in its vari-
GUS forms these qualities can be Sc
cured at the least cost
Most home builders have clear and
definite ideals which they strive to
Incorporate in their plans for their
new home. Such homes are usually
planned with the view to permanent
occupancy by the individuals whose
ideals they express. They insist on 4
building which will secure for them
the comforts and conNenienceS typi-
! fled in the word "home" 1t must fur
nish the safeguards that come from
a type Of construction which is proof
against fire and decay. From the IN
vestment standpoint it's construction
must be such as to suffer least from
depreciation, hence requiring the least
maintenance.
Concrete houses lend themselves
readily to quantity construction.
Building operations may be stand
ardized and the forms used many
times Because of the great demand
and the pressing need for more homes
in every section of the country, ana
hecausa of the adapt3bility. speed
and economy of concrete house con-
struction in quantities. concrete is the
logical material to use in relieving
th. Drceo,~. serious housing shortage.

10 N. D.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May Is. - A

The fugitive was located and taken
into custody in the heart Of the Ozark
mountains. His capture ended a chase
which had been in progress more than
six months.
Sheriff Hartung, Of Stark county;
N. D., has gone 20 Arkansas and will
bring the prisoner back. When the
North Dakota authorities are through
with him, the officers of northwestern
South Dakota may put in q claim for
his custody.
Recently former "pal' of Hardy
gave some information concerning the
whereabouts of Hardy which was ov-
erheard by one of Sheriff Hartungs
amateur sleuths, who lost no time in
informing the sheriff of what he had
heard.
The matter then was taken up with
the Arkansas authorities and the sher-
iff of Calhoun county, that state, did
a little detective work on his own ac-
count, finally locating his man in the
heart of the Ozark mountains. The
81 900 reward for his capture was con-
tributed by stockmen who had suffered
losses at Hardy's hands.
There are 81 different cases of grand
larceny pending against Hardy in
Ncrth Dakota counties alone, these
growing out of alleged "rustling" of
cattle.
