BAGGED THE LIMIT
Armed with Knives and Forks Folks
Do Well at Legion Dinner

Altho hunters report mighty poor
duck shooting since opening day,
about twenty couples bagged the linn
it with knives and forks at Legion
hall Tuesday evening when a COM
mittee of. Legionaires served their
first game dinner with members of
the Auxiliary and a few friends as
guests. The feast was planned, the
table laid and the serving done by the
the boys who did X. p. duty in a
most satisfactory manner. Following
the dinner cards and dancing provid-
ed entertainment.
This is the first of series of So
cial affairs which the local post will
give during the fall and winter
months.

the ground floor, there is compare
lively little need of running up and
down stairs. even when there are
young children in the family. A
third story, an upstairs sitting room and
no ground floor lavatory do add ap-
preciably to the amount of stair
climbing.
Stair climbing is reduced by having
the laundry on the same floor as the
kitchen instead of in the basement
or cellar. Though it is the scene of
greatest activity only one or two
days a week, it is often used at other
times. and often in connection with
kitchen work. On the score that the
number of steps is thereby reduced.
laundry tubs may be placed in the
kitchen, but against this must be
placed the annoyance or worse that
comes from having the kitchen full
of steam and all cluttered with
clothes in process of washing during
the time when meals must be pre-
pared. Because of this many women
prefer a separate laundry in an ell
or extension opening off the kitchen.
From the latitude Of Philadelphia
south this extension may be of light
construction without the danger of
pipes freezing, except in the coldest
weather. and IT is a simple matter
to install a cutoff so that these pipes
may be emptied when not in use.

LIGHT AND VENTILATION
BIG BUILDING FACTORS

Every room must have adequate
window areas, giving upon wide out
door spaces. An interior room or
one poorly lighted from a narrow
court, or receiving its only light from
a wide porch, may not impress the
visitor. who sees it only when the
house is new and the room artificially
lighted, but it does in time impress
the family who inhabit it. Row
houses are best when they are only
two rooms deep from front to rear.
If, however, an extension is built
upon the rear of a row house. the
court on one side of this extension,
ed, should be at least sin feet wide
for a two-story building and seven
feet for a three-story dwelling.
If there is a front porch on row,
it should not extend clear across the
front, darkening every window of
the front ground floor room, but
should extend only part way, leaving
one window free. This also adds TO
the value of the porch by giving 1t
greater privacy, but, of course. II
necessitates a house at least eighteen
feet wide if the porch is to be large
enough to use as an outdoor sitting
room for the whole family in warm
weather.
So far as practicable, each room
should have at least two windows
and corner rooms should have win
dows in two walls.
The rooms should be planned to
open into each other, so that the
breeze is permitted to sweep through.

HOME-FINDINC FOR NATION
is REALTORS BIG PROBLEM
Questions of Vast Importance Come
Before Real Estate Mems Convention
at Cleveland i'm June.

Home finding for the nations fami-
lies and for the nations industrial and
commercial development will be the
keyword of the four-day conference of
5000 representatives from every branch
of real estate activity in the United
States and Canada, who will meet in
the sixteenth annual convention of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards at Cleveland, June 2730, for
what is expected to be the largest, most
detailed and most important convention
ever planned for the discussion Of real
estate affairs.
How the nations investment money
supply may best be released to meet the
heavily accumulated national demand
for homes, apartments and manufactur-
ing and commercial building, how wise
public policies may direct and encourage
this development, and how realtors, by
pooling their experiences in successful
business methods, may best carry out
their function as the agency OF this
nation wide home-finding both for the
centering of the Individual family life
and for the efficient location of indus
tries and commercial enterprises will be
the subject which men nationally promi-
nent in the financing and development
of real estate will discuss.

Ga, president of the Georgia Peanut
Growers Association, and L. B. Jack
son. director of the Georgia state bu-
reau OF markets, who filed with Pres
ident Harding and Chairman Marvin,
OF the United States tariff commits
sion, a protest on behalf OF lO0.OOO
peanut farmers Of the south against
any further tariff agitation.
II the tariff commission dOCkets
the application for reducing the vege-
table oil duties for hearing they will
stop a hundred thousand plows in the
peanut fields of the south within the
next thirty days." the protest declar-
ed I'VE accepted the Fordney- Nc
Cumber measure as covenant be
tween the government and the farm
ers guaranteeing us four cents per
pound on peanuts, and we have start
ed in good faith to plant over a mil
lion acres of peanuts this season.
The fling of the application to re-
open the vegetable oil schedule has
frightened many farmers, ana II II Is
docketed for a hearing it will stop
the planting of peanuts for this sea
son, for every farmer knows that he
can not raise peanuts without a pro-
tective tariff and if our protection is
in doubt then we must abandon the
crop"
I'VE want the application for re-
opening the vegetable oil schedules
now on file dismissed and public an
nouncement made OF it so the farm
er can proceed with safety. We are
planting approximately 100000 acres
of peanuts in Alabama; 225, GOO in
Georgia; 100000 in Texas; 10000 in
Virginia; 125,000 in North Carolina;
125,000 in Florida, and $4,000 in South
Carolina; and if they will let the tariff
alone we can double the acreage; but
any disturbance in the tariff will wipe
the industry out OF existence
Chairman Marvin said he would
give the peanut growers further and
more complete hearing before a final
decision was reached by the commits
sion on whether the case would be
docketed.
