second. Included with the rooms are
the conveniences found in the modern
home, such as toilet and washroOm
on the first floor, a bathroom on the
second floor and plenty of closet room.
The entrance door opens off the
porch and into vestibule, adjoining
which is a coat closet. 10 the left is
the living room that is larger than the
average-14 feet inches by 10 feet.
This is light, well-ventilated room,
and has an open fireplace in the out
side wall at the end. Back Of the liv-
ing room is large dining room, IA by
Is feet, with an attractive bay win
dow which will be just the place for q
window box. To the right of the din
ing room is the kitchen, also a corner
room, which insures good ventilation:
Between the kitchen and vestibule Is a
hall, off which is the toilet and wash
room mentioned. Adjoining the kitchen
is good-sized pantry.
An open stairway out of the corner
of the living room leads to the second
floor, which contains four good-sized
bedrooms, all of which are on corners.
Between two of the bedrooms Is the
bathroom.
The basement extends under the
whole of the house, with the exception
of the porch. Here is plenty Of room
for the heating plant and fuel; the
laundry equipment and storerooms for
fruits and vegetables.
In both exterior appearance and in
terror arrangement this is the type of
house that insnres comfort for the &C.
cupants and exceptional value for the
money required to build it. Also, 1t Is
the sort of house that will appeal to
the average family, which makes 1t
readily salable.

many sources. Some feature In each
of the homes of friends may appeal to
the prospective builder. Plans Of other
homes that the architects have de-
signed, or that the contractor has
erected may be just what is wanted II
some minor changes are made.
1t is as a suggestion to prospective
home builders that the house shown In
the accompanying illustration Is pre-
scented. At first glance this house will
appear to be an elaborate structure.
But it is not. 1t is really square
house, % feet wide and 30 feet deep.
But the pleasing appearance Is secured
by the gable in the roof at the front
and by the porch. Before studying the
exterior appearance take look at the
floor plans that also are shown. Inc
heavy lines denote the foundation. 1t
will readily be seen that the founda-
ton walls are straight-there are no
angles that increase the cost of the
building considerably.
The hoase is of standard frame con-
structiOn, set on a concrete foundation.
Up to the second floor the exterior
wallis are covered with stucco. Above,
ordinary clapboard siding is used. The
stucco may be applied over either
wood or metal lath, or the patented
stucco bases that all material dealers
handle. The contrast between the
succeed walls and the clapboards
above the second floor gives this house
a most attractive appearance. Also
the succeed porch walls and pillars
and the turn of the steps are good fea-
lures of this design.
The house contains seven rooms

quires no more time or labor to care
for the one than for the other.
At the last census-1920-less than
3 per cent of the dairy cows in the
United States were pure-breds. The
average milk production per COW was
under 1000 pounds. 1t is a mighty
poor pure-bred, and one that breeders
do not consider worth keeping, that
does not give more than twice that
amount.
The second requirement for success
with dairy herds Is the right sort Of
housing. Dairy animals to produce at
their maximum must have warm, we'll
ventilated quarters during the five or
six months they are not on pasture.
They must have continuous supply
of fresh water. Those are the re-
1uirements for maximum milk flow.
Shown in the illustration is the type
Of barn that dairymen build to house
their herds. This dairy barn Is small
designed to house 20 cows-but 1t
has the requirements that 60 to make
dairying profitable. 1t is we'll con-
structed, weathertight frame building,
set on a concrete foundation. The
stable floor is Of concrete, also, max
ing it easy to keep clean and sanitary.
Above the dairy stable is NOW room
for supply of hay large enough to
carry the animals through the winter,
while by adding silo at one end
the dairyman will have storage
capacity for all the feed the cows will
require during the months they are in
doors.
The barn is of what is known as
"plank frame construction" method Of
building that eliminates posts in the
NOW floor, the roof being seff-support-
ing. The barn is SO feet wide, size
that barn architects have found to be
the most economical to build and suf-
f1cient for two rows Of stalls, feed

ter alleys along the sides.

BERLIN, January 17-From the day
Of his birth until the day he Is buried
and even after he is buried. the aver
age German of today is pursued by
the ogre of taxation unleashed by the
great war. That which is craved by
normal human beings the world over
domestic happiness-is gradually
disappearing out of the life OF the
German. The tax collector Is ubiqui-
tous. Every bit of bread a German
eats and every step he takes is taxed.
The only thing that has not been
taxed is fresh air.
Now another heavy weight has been
added to the burden the average cru
zen has to carry. 1t is announced that
beginning February is, 4 loaf OF
bread will cost IA marks. The loaf
which now costs 8 marks before the
war was 2S pfennigs: in other words,

points to the depreciation of German
money.

This 75 per cent increase in the
price OF bread, will, according to the
socialist newspapers. soon have tell

Higher wages will increase the cost
Of production in Germany and there
by decrease the difference between
the cost of production in Germany and

mately it will result in cutting down
Germany's exports, which have been
abpormally heavy because OF the
small value of German money.

having on family life in Germany Is

Busy Week For
Co. Commissioners

The Ramsey county board of COM
missioners spent five very busy days
at the court house last week check
ing up the past years business and
examining the records of the county
officers. Every officer was given a
"clean bill" by the county dads.
The new chairman elected for the
year is Peter Martinson of Hampden.
The man who held the gavel last
year was I. Sorlie of Churchs Ferry.
1t is generally agreed to pass this
doubtful honor around among the
boys.
The chairman is the official punch
ing bag for the public. He inhales
the most tobacco smoke, sits with his
coat tails closest to the spittoon and
is supposed to take everything that
comes his way, including Irish con-
fetti, with pleasant smile.
