Exteriorly there is nothing about
this handsome colonial bungalow to in
dicate that it is des. gned for 'two-ten-
ant occupancy. Yet il has five rooms
ON each side, reached from the one
entrance vestibule, and merits atten-
ton as Offering u means whereby res
ldence section restrictions, such as
against hat-buildings, etc, may be got
around and yet help the locality along
at the same time. For there is no
denying the fact that it Is a very at
tractive place, indeed.
The wide colonial doorway, with
side lights, makes un ample vestibule
possible. From this vestibule open OFF
he two doors leading into each five
room apartment, consisting Of living
room, dining room, kitchen, two bed
rooms and bath. Tie kitchen has u
rear entrance, and. worth noting, Is
how the bedrooms are so placed as to
assure maximum privacy to the occu-
pants.

visible In the chimney portion. With
a house like this 1t Is not wise to 60
into the field of colored stucco too ex-
tensively; this place depends for its
appeal upon simplicity. Therefore the
stucco is best left white, or tinted q
gray or light cream, not blue or warm
red or pink, such as Is the vogue with
residences Of the Spanish type in the
warmer sections N the country.

Il very decided preferences in the
matter of coat styles for midwinter

A Strange Circumstance.

The recent fire at Bowie in which
several acres of land were burned
over, brought out a peculiar thing
Though this was designated as a for
est fire, through the valiant efforts
of citizens and forest rangers. the
fire did not go into the National
forest. The expense incurred amount
ed to between s40O and $500. which
will be pro-rated between Delta and
Gunnison counties according to the
areas involved Nearly all of the fire
was on private property. but it was
necessary to fight it to keep 1t out of
the National forest But in spite Of
this fact, the National Government
bears no share Of the expense OF
fighting it. Had the fire gone into
the forest of course they would have.
This is in accordance with a decision
handed down some years ago by the
Federal Government, but is the first
time this peculiar circumstance has
ever been experienced in this county.

ASKS PRESIDENT TO
RETURN SUGAR REPORT

New York, Sept. 1.-THE National
Board of Farm Organizations, which
includes such large associations as the
National Farmers Union, American
Society of Equity, National Co-Opera-
tive Milk Producers Federation,
Farmers Equity Union, Farmers Ma
tional Congress, and number of 9TH
ers representing agricultural interests
of every part of the country, has ad-
dressed a communication to President
Coolidge requesting that he return to
the Tariff Commission the report on
sugar recently submitted by that body
with Instructions to the commission
to ascertain relative industrial costs
in the United States and abroad.
The interest of the National Board
in the sugar report, as explained in
the letter which its secretary. Charles
w. Holman, had addressed to the
President, is due in part to the fact
that individual farmers belonging to
the various associations represented
in the Board are engaged in sugar
beet growing, and in part to the fact
that the precedents set by the Tariff
Commission in the sugar case will
affect its action in other investiga-
tions relating to farm products.
Among the cases of this sort now
pending before the commission are
cited those relating to casein, linseed
OIL other vegetable oils and butter.
In his letter to the President Mr..
Holman says in part:
I'VE have reason to believe that in
all of these cases, including that of
sugar, the effect of any change in
existing rates will be felt more di-
rectly by the producers of the agri-
cultural commodities than by the
manufacturers who transform these
commodities from the raw into a more
refined state. We therefore contend
that no findings of fact by the COM
can be conclusive unless the
base its Investigations
upon a comparison of the
costs of producing these commodities
in the raw state in this country and
in the countries of principal competi-
ton. This view has already been de-
MED us by the Tariff Commission in
consideration the costs of pro
ducing casein, a derivative of milk
We believe that this attitude OF the
commission is unfair to the farm pro
ducers.
Because of the keen interest which
the public has in sugar the principles
adopted by you in this particular case
will have a far-reaching influence up
on the public mind. If, therefore, the
majority report of the commission
should omit a proper consideration of
agricultural costs, we hope that you
will return the report of the commits
sion with instructions to continue in
vestigations."
