Three young men were arrested by
Sheriff John Nolan last Thursday up
on a charge Of stealing nine hogs from
the farm of A. Halstead south of Brook
ings. 1t is alleged these young men
drove to the Halstead farm in the dead
of the night, secured the nine fat
porkers, and kept them until morning
at the home Of one of the young men.
They marketed the hogs in Aurora the
next day. John Kish, n of the men
arrested, has a bad record in this coun-
ty. Last summer, he endeavored to
swindle a local garage with bogus
checks, and was finally found by Sher-
if Nolan in a deserted shack near Lake
Campbell. He has a suspended e n
tence of six months hanging over him
at the present time. Ned Pogue, an
other of the trio captured, also has 4
police record, having been fined re-
Gently for assault and battery. No
motive has been given for the steal
ing of the hogs that could excuse the
crime. Offenders of this kind are
not likely to meet with much mercy
at the hands of the court.

The Modern Apartment House

vuYHEN building Q modern
w apartment house which
" will bring q fancy rent
there are rules which must be
observed II the place Il to be
strictly up to the minute. A few
Of them follow:
II there Is q particularly fine
view Of q picturesque river or
park have this scene visible only
from the kitchen. II you must
put two rooms on that side Of
tbs house let them be the kitchen
and maids room. II you must
use three rooms there include the
bathroom.
Have the living room back a.
far in the interior Of the build
ing as possible. The library
should be in dark recess.
Always have the front door
open directly onto the kitchen.
This Is one rule that nobody but
. boob architect ever violates.
The stranger entering the house
must see the kitchen first and
know what the family Is going
to have for dinner. Then the
visitor may make up his mind
whether to remain for dinner or
60 somewhere else.
The dining-room windows must
invariably open on q court With
this arrangement every family In
the building can smell what every
other family has for dinner. One
dose Of corned beef and cabbage
thus answers for thirty or forty
families, and one cooking Of
csulifower does for the whole
neighborhood. Dining-room chat
ter waited back and forth keeps
everybody posted on neighbor-
hood gossip.

arms are invented than you can
tell about In a twenty-four-page
newspaper, and when one guy
wants to shoot another he has to
do It with q dagger. There is q
time during the reign Of the
Louies in France when q guy is
about as safe on the street after
six o'clock at night as he Is In a
dynamite factory with . ciga-
retts going. Killings are 20 COM
mon In those days that they
never get into the newspapers,
and the reason they do not get
into the newspapers is that there
are no newspapers.
"But there seems to be moro
shooting the past few years than
ever BEFORE" says Elias @. Hig-
ginbotham. IT don't sec what
Is getting into people nowadays,
anyhow. One word leads to an
other and then the clang Of the
ambulance gong il heard in the
Silly night"
'There are two reasons why
there seems to be more shoot
ing" says Quincy. zone Is that
there are more people to do the
shooting and moro to be shot at,
and the other reason is that when
there is a shooting nowadays you
see more about II in the papers.

West, when there Il q shooting

There Is an added advantage In
that milk wagons, Ice wagons and
tradesmen's trucks occupy all the
parking space to the exclusion
of hmousines.
The bedrooms should be placed
on courts wherever possible.
Thus the family jars are broad
casted through the neighborhood
with neatness and dispatch, and
whole families can lie awake
nights and hear the neighbors
quarrel. Then the air Of courts
Is always better than in the open.
Bedrooms on airshafts are per
haps most desirable of all.
Elevators should be 50 con-
structed that they never stop
exactly flush with the floor Of the
hall. They must stop either six
inches above or six inches below
the floor In order to give the
elevator man an opportunity to
recite his favorite slogan: watch
Yer Step" Without an oppor-
tunity to make this show Of
authority life would be dull for
these men and they would seek
other jobs.
It Is absolutely necessary to
have large double doorway be-
tween the living-room and the
dining-room. Nobody has ever
been able to explain why this
largo opening Is necessary, but
an architect who would put .
single doorway between these
two rooms with q door attached
would be considered revolution
ary and be run out Of the pro-
fession.

must have a dummy fireplace
