In spite OF filth and evil odors, the

feet in circumference.
In the Hippodrcne, where gladiators

The colonial balance is preserved in
the interior. On either side Of the re-
ception hall, which Is of good width,
are the living room and dining room.
The former Is large room, 13 by 90
feet. The placing of the fireplace In
the center Of the front wall is unusual,
but attractive. 1t Is a broad fireplace
and on either side are cases for books.
Double French doors on both sides Of
the fireplace lead to the porch. 1t

the quaint roof treatment of the homes
Of Holland, an architectural style that
was transplanted into this country in
colonial times. And coupled with these
advantages, the Dutch colonial makes
possible great economy in the use of
the interior.

Hog raisers everywhere are rapidly
recognizing the modern, weather-tight
hoghouse as most profitable invest
ment. Where the sows are properly
housed they respond with two filters
of pigs a year instead Of one; the pigs
are marketable at the time when
prices are highest, and greater per-
centage Of each litter Is brought to
maturity.
The advantage Of having the sows
farrow in the late winter are well
known to every hog raiser. But to
have the pigs come along while the
weather is yet cold is Improbable I'M
less the mother and young pigs have
a house that will keep them WARM, dry
and healthy. Modern hoghsuses are
designed and built to give the sow and
her pigs just such a home.
Herewith is illustrated such hog
house. 1t is a frame building set on
a concrete foundation and has a ce-
ment floor. This building is "a feet
wide and AZ feet long and has pens
for ten sows and their pigs.
The peculiar shape Of the roof
makes possible warm sunny interior.
The house is set so that 1t extends
east and west and faces the south.
This position gives the windows the
benefits of the late winter sun, light
entering the lower windows falling. on
one row of pens and on the other from
the windows in the roof. The multi
plicity of windows also permits good
ventilation, which is another necessity

ders with manufacturers several
months In advance. This hoghouse
can be built in the late fall or early
winter, SO long as the concrete floor ID
laid before frost comes. The balance
q the building is Of lumber and can
be erected at any time.
Nothing raised.on the farm is more
profitable than hogs. These animals
bring high prices, the demand con-
stantly is growing and with propt/
housing and care maximum number
Of young pigs can be brought to ma
turity. Health is me prime essential
that makes for profitable hog raising
and to be healthy, hogs must be kept
In clean and sanitary quarters.
A hoghouse with cement floor Is
easy to clean. Where water under
pressure is available the cement floors
can be washed and the litter that Is
not gathered up by the fork carried
out. Sunshine helps a great deal in
preventing diseases, the suns rays be-
ing a germ killer. The double row Of
windows admits sunshine to every
part of the hoghouse illustrated.
Modern farm buildings Of all kinds
are helping to solve the labor-shortage
problem that confronts farmers every
where. Modern buildings, equipped
with modern, labor-saving devices for
doing the work necessary to give the
live stock proper attention make ''.e
work easier and quicker. thus SAVING
a great deal of labor.
Hog raisers will find it is good in
vestment to build modern hoghouse

POINT FOR HOME BUILDERS
Value Of House 10 Greatly ENHANCED
by the Presence Of Trees and
Shrubbery.

If at all possible. say specialists OF
the United States department of agri'
culture, the house should be located
near good trees, the shade Of which
may be used and enjoyed by the
family every day during the summer.
1t takes so long TO grow good trees
that those already available should be
cherished and utilized to the fullest
extent.
Another thing that should be care
fully considered is outlook. The house
should be located so that the windows
of the rooms most used look out upon
attractive views. The living-room and
the kitchen are entitled to first consid-
GRAFTON in this matter. The near
view should be over an unbroken
lawn, and there should be some OBJ
ject Of interest beyond. If there is
In the general landscape mountain,
water view. woodland, meadow,
an extended farm view, or even a
handsome tree, use 1t as an inspiring
picture, framed by the window for
the family through the years. 1t may
mean the difference between a soSdid
life and an inspired life for the chill
dren who are brought up under its
influence. At any rate, 1t will mean
active pleasure or quiet consolation
to the wife amid the daily cares Of
the household. If all these natural
objects are lacking, possibly some fea-
ture may be created on the place,
such as an attractive group Of shrubs
so placed and arranged as to have
something of interest every month
In the year.

Battling In the Arena.

Slowly / regained my composure
and finally essayed again to attempt
to remove the keys from the dead
body of my former jailer. But as /
reached out into the darkness to To-
cate it found to my horror that 1t
was gone. Then the truth flashed on
me: the owners of those cleaning
eyes had dragged my prize away from
me to be devoured in their neighboring
lair; as they had been waiting for
days. for weeks, for months, through
all this awful eternity of my imprison-
ment to drag my dead carcass to their
feast.
For two days no food was brought
me but then a new messenger APP
peared and my Incarceration went on
as before, but not again did I allow
my reason to be submerged by the
horror Of my position
Shortly after this episode another
prisoner was brought in and chained
near me. By the dim torch light saw
that he was a red Marian and I could
scarcely await the departure Of his
guards to address him. As their re-
treating footsteps died away in the
distance, / called out softly the Mar
tan word of greeting, kaor.
"Who are you who speaks out of
the darkness?" he answered.
"Join Carter, a friend Of the red
men of Hellum."

And then ! told my story as have
written it here, emitting any reference
to my love for Dejah Thoris. He was
much excited by the news Of IIelium's
princess and seemed quite positive
that SHE and Sofa could easily have
reached a point Of safety from where
they left me. "Deiah ThOris and Sofa
entered the hills not five miles from
a great waterway and are now prob
ably unite safe" he assured me.

Bar Comas eyed the defiant and in

his expression one Of naughty. fear

out drawing a weapon and without
uttering word he hurled himself at
the throat of his defaIner,

ferocity which ensued was as fearful
thing as the most disordered imagi-
nation could picture. They tore at
each others eyes and ears with their
hands and with their cleaning tusks
repeatedly slashed and gored until
both were cut fairly to ribbons from
head to foot.
Bar Comas had much the better of
the battle as he was stronger, quicker
and more intelligent. It soon seemed
that the encounter was done saving
only the final death thrust, when Bar
Comas slipped in breaking away from

by custom, had not been moved from
where it fell, and placing his foot
upon the neck of his erstwhile ruler
he assumed the title of Jeddak OF

The injuries to Oak Kova had de-
layed the march so greatly that it was
decided to give up the expedition,
which was raid upon a small Thank
community in retaliation for the de-
struction of the incubator, until after

gether in one of the cages. In the
others were wild calots, thoats, mad
zitidars. green warriors and women of
other hordes, and many strange and
ferocious wild beasts of Barsoom.
which / had never before seen.
Shortly after we had been Gagged
the amphitheater began to fill and
within an hour every available part of
the seating space was occupied Oak
Kova. with his jeds and chieftains, sat
at the center of one side of the arena
upon a large raised platform.
At a signal from Oak Kova the
doors of two cages were thrown open
and dozen green Marian females
were driven TO the center of the arena.
Each was given a dagger and then, at
the far end, pack of twelve calots,
or wild dogs, were loosed upon them.
As these brutes, growing and foam-
ing, rushed upon the almost defense
less women turned my head that /
might not see the horrid sight. The
yells and laughter of the green horde
bore witness TO the excellent quality
of the sport and when / turned back
to the arena, as Kantos Kan told me
it was over, / saw three victorious
caiots, snarling and growing over the
bodies of their prey. The women had
given a good account of themselves.
Next mad zitidar was loosed
aiaong the remaining dogs, and so 1t
went throughout the long, hot, hor-
rIble day.
During the day was pitted against
first men and then beasts. but as ! was
armed with a longsword and always
outclassed my adversary in agility
and generally In strength as well, 1t
proved but child's play to me. Time
and time again won the applause of
the bloodthIrsty multitude. and toward
the end there were cries that ] be
taken from the arena and be made a
member of the hordes Of WarhoOn.
Finally there were but three Of rs
left. q great green warrior Of some far
northern horde. Kantos Kan, and N.Y.
self. The other two were TO battle
and then I to fight the conqueror for
the liberty which was accorded the
final winner.

ton Kantos Kan and l became weil
acquainted, and formed a warm PEI
sonal friendship. A few days only
elapsed. however, before we were
dragged forth from our dungeon for
the great games. We were conducted
early one morning TO an enormous
amphitheater. which instead of having
been built upon the surface of the
ground was excavated below the sur
face 1t had partially filed with debris
so that how large it had originally
been was difficult to say. In Its pres
ent condition it held e entire
twenty thousand Warhoons of the as
sembied hordes.
The arena was immense but ex-
tremely uneven and unkempt. Around
it the Warhoons had piled building
stone from some of the ruined edifices
