GERMAN ARMY
 TO BALK RIOTS
Barbed Wire Erected As National Election Day
 Approaches

BERLIN, Oct. 26.-Minor mobiliza- tion of regular troops at their home gar risons is under way as a precautionary measure against riots in connection with the approaching general election
 Simultaneously with the order that called all detached troops to their gar rison, construction of barbed wire en- tanglements were begun in various cen ters.
 The government has had no direct information relating to contemplated uprisings during or following the cleo tion, but it is believed possible that the heat of the campaign may so rouse po- litical extremists that in the event of de- feat, they might attempt sudden thrust against the government to gain by force what was withheld from them at the polls.
 Henceforth the army, like the green police, will be held in readiness to act in an emergency which might be the outcome of another ''putsch' dream on the part of disappointed electoral groups.

 Gov. Jonathan M. Davis, democratic candidate for reelection, and Ben S. Paulen, republican nominee, of accept ing klan support.
 The entire Kansas congressional dele gation was renominated, comprising Senator Arthur Capper, seven republican and one democratic congressman. The congressional campaign generally has been based on support of President Coolidge by the republicans or of the democratic national ticket by the demo- crats.
 In the seventh district Miss Nellie Cline, democrat, first Kansas woman ever nominated for congress, has chal- lenged Congressman J. N. ("Poly") Tincher. Miss Cline, a pioneer in wOm- ems politics in the Sunflower state, with an eminent record as a lawyer, was the first democratic woman to be elected to the state legislature.
 The independent La Follette-Wheel- CT electors were filed by petitions after the primary. The names of the pro- hibition party electors will not be on the ballot.
 The Socialist party filed ten un. pledged candidates for presidential cleo. tors in the primary, later requesting that the names of La Toilette and Wheeler be placed at the head of their ticket. This, however, would have pre-. vented their heading the list of inde. pendent electors presented by the au. thorized La Toilette state committee and the socialists decided to withdraw their electors from the field.
 Iowa
 Five parties are in the field for hte
 Five parties are in the field for the electoral votes of Iowa for president and vice president, the workers and socialist labor parties having filed nom nations in the latter part of the cam paign. Interest in the presidential con- test lies in the race between President Coolidge and Senator La Toilette and overshadows everything else in the campaign. The reelection of United States Senator Smith W. BrOokhart is generally expected. However, Daniel F. Streck, the democratic candidate, is causing some concern because Luther A. Brewer, an independent candidate withdrew in his favor.
 Independent candidates for represen. tatives in congress also are seeking election in the second, sixth and ninth districts. None of the minor parties kaye made nominations for state of. fees.

r1EAUTY of line and careful

r7EAUTY of line and careful
k attention to detail have
made this bungalow one Of
the most attractive of its type.
The broad French windows, open
ing on the inviting terrace, give
the front of this home an appear
ance of which the owner is bound
to be proud.
Careful architectural thought
has been devoted to the design
ing of the porch columns, the win
dow frames and other details of
the outside trim. The generous
number Of porches and the promi-
hence of the fireplace in Hhe Nv
ing room suggest that this is the
house referred to by those who
declare that the home they build
will have those features as the
first consideration.
The interior OF the home reveals
an abundance Of room which hard
ly would be expected from cur
sorry glance at the exterior. Beside
room, dining-room and kitchen,
there are a sleeping porch and a
sun porch, both of such size and
substantial construction as to be
virtually additional rooms.
The reception hall provides a
closet for wraps and also allows
one entering the front of the house
to reach the bedroom group with
out passing through the living
room or the dining-room. The liv-
ing-room suggests an intimate,
livable abode from the provision
made for the care Of books and
the wide opening on the sun porch.
The dining-room, with its cross
ventilation and abundance of light,
its built-in china closet and con-
venient means of communication
with the kitchen, should be a place
Of cheerful meals The kitchen is
efficiently arranged with its own
entrance porch.
All Of the three bedrooms open
on the sleeping porches and all are
provided with closets.
The approximate cost Of this
home Is $500, although no figure
can be given which will take into
account the materials used in its
construction. the distance of the
location Of the home from the
source Of these materials, the la
Dor market and the many other
factors which vary widely in DIFF
ferent sections.
