The period drawn on by the designer
of this home, with such attractive re-
suits, Is what Is known as the Dutch
colonial. The gambrel roof Is typical,
and the type In general such as to
commend itself to erection in any part
Of the country-north or south, east or
west.
There is pleasing harmony In the
use Of the variegated cedar or COM
position shingles in combination with
the wide siding. The shutters of the
upper windows add to the decorative
value, as does the quaint oval window
over the entrance-which is the bath
room window, by the way-and the
arched, gracefully paned curved attic
window. The latter serves, instead Of
a louver, TO maintain air circulation
In the attic, keeping the house ma
terially cooler in summer.
There are eight rooms and sleep

Of an extra or ninth room. The re-
cessed porch entrance leads into
stairway hall and door to the left
into the living room, 10 feet by % feet.
These are splendid proportions which
make the room an attractive prospect
for comfortable furnishings. There is
a built-in bookcase and reading-seat
arrangement In one wall which could
be made to serve In more capacious
way by leaving out the seat and build
ing all shelving instead. Through the
opposite wall long French doors open
onto a terrace, equipped with quaint
garden settle built against the house
wall, as will be seen at the left Of our
illustration. With Its inviting features
and three-sided lighting, this living
room could easily become the most in

LABOR DISPUTES

NEW YORK, July %. - I'm
reasonableness in relations between
capital and labor is especially
blameworthy when the employer
is at fault, for the task of man.
agement is to coordinate and fuse
the various elements that comprise
business enterprise.
Forward-looking business lead
ers recognize the futility of making
faces at workingmen.
Col. William CooIrer Proctor,
head of the Proctor and Gamble
Soap Company. Is one of those who
believes that democracy to de-
gree can be successfully applied to
the realm of industry.
His latest innovation. designed
to improve the morale Of his en-
ployes, will go into effect next
Wednesday. His firm will under
take to relieve their employees of
one of the greatest disturbers Of
their peace of mind-the fear of
unemployment. All workers, eligible
for the profit-sharing benefits,
will be assured employment for at
least forty-eight weeks year,
less only time lost through fire,
flood and other emergencies.
Workingmen, especially in Eng
land and sometimes in this coun-
try. are criticised for alleged efforts
to interfere with maximum produc-
ton. Bricklayers are required by
union rules to lay only a limited
number Of bricks, and in other crafts
similar restrictions reduce the
amount of work performed by an
individual. Economists say that
such practices are wrong, and in the
last analysis cut down the earning
power of the workers themselves.
Unquestionably, in a well-geared
economic system, the way to we'll
being is through large productivity.
A worker promised continuous en-
ployment, in the manner that Proc
ter and Gamble are proceeding, is in
q frame of mind which makes him
willing to produce up to the hilt.
He no longer fears that his efforts
will in the end work him or his
comrades out of a job.
OF course, not every business con-
Germ is strong enough in it's own
industry to follow this plan of vir
tually underwriting employment. Be-
fore it can be done on a large scale,
industry itself will have to be bet
ter established. Business leaders
this year, however, showed a better
capacity to control the business
cyc1e-to avoid the dangers of de-
preston through avoiding the ex-
cesses of prosperity.
Colonel Procter's newest move to
promote happiness among his work
ing forces is in line with his recent
plan to admit representatives of his
workers to the board of directors.
The workers, who had already ac-
quired stock. were entitled tech
nically to representation through
their stock ownership. Working
men, with representatives sitting
around the mahogany table where
the directors make major decisions,
become insiders in industry, and can
properly be expected to. reveal an
intelligent, reasonable attitude.

The gold rush of the early COS
was at its height at the time of his
arrival in California. King located
a claim at Grass valley at the foot
! of the Sierra Nevada mountains
where he struck pay dirt" 1t was
just at this time that the war was
declared between the north and
south, and King answered the call
for volunteers. 81 was placering
gold dust at the rate of $40 a day, -
he said, "but 1 just laid down my
shovel, locked by cabin door, and
came away. 1 have never seen ii
since"
He enlisted in Company "B" first
California volunteers, under General
Conner. They Immediately started
on the long trail across the continent
to join the northern army. "Our
journey led us across the Sierra
Nevada mountains, thence across
the DESERT" said King. 1--WE were
halted at Salt Lake City with the
news of an Indian uprising in what
is now Idaho, so, instead of joining
the northern regiment we were given
orders to subdue the Indians. The
change was not welcomed by many
in our company, $50 of them de-
serted to re-enlist elsewhere.
During the entire period Of the
Civil war we were stationed in
Idaho fighting Indians. Freight
wagons and stage coaches were con-
tinually attacked by them, and 1t
was hard fight to keep them down.
We endured plenty of hardships. 1t
was rough country in those days,
and comforts were few. But we en-
joyed it." And his eyes fairly
danced as he said with unmistak-
able conviction. II wouldn't have
missed it for anything"
King grew to love the rugged
country, and after being discharged
from the army, returned and took
up soldiers claim near what is
now the town of Shelley, near Idaho
Falls. He developed the farm and
prospered, living there until few
years ago, when he sold the home
stead and moved to Idaho Falls,
where he has since resided.
Altho his Lightweight years pro-
hibit any great activity, Mr.. King
still enjoys good health. His mind
is keen and he is able to appreciate
the part he took in the making Of
the worlds history. Mr.. Kings
claim of being possibly the sole sur
vivor of the Crimean war in this
country is based upon the fact Of his
extreme youth at that time, and
that he has reason to believe that
should any of the few boys who
were aboard the King Albert be now
living, they would undoubtedly be
in England. Mr.. King is an active
member of the Joe Hooker Post G..
A. R. Of Idaho Falls. He was twice
married and has raised a large
family all of whom are now living
in Idaho Falls.-Idaho Falls Post.

CATCH SHEEP IN RIGHT WAY
Much Suffering Could Be Prevented
by Little More Intelligent and
Careful Handling.

Much of the suffering withstood by
sheep might be avoided by a little
more careful and intelligent handling.
Many an ignorant f1ockowner, catches
sheep by the wool, at any place he
can get hold of handiest. They do not
realize that the skin is very lightly
attached to the flesh and that by hold
ing the sheep in this careless manner,
the skin is torn loose from the flesh
thus bruising the innocent sheep. 1t
is claimed by some authorities that it
takes the sheep two months to recov-
er from the bruise thus incurred. The
proper way to catch a sheep is by the
flank, and thus no injury is inflicted
on the sheep. Even a very large
strong sheep will soon give up and
stand still when caught in this way.
