I WAS leaning up against the man
telpiece in a loung suit which
had made out of old ice bags, and
Beryl, my wife, was seated at my
feet on a low Louis Quinze tab
ouret which she had made out of a
FInnan Haddie fishboX, when the idea
of bungalow came to both of us at
the same time.
1T would be just lovely if we could
do itr' exclaimed Beryl, coiling herself
around my knee.
Why not?" I replied. lifting her up
little by the ear. with your eX-
quisite taste
And with your knowledge of ma
terial," added Bery1, giving me tiny
pinch on the leg. "Oh, | am sure we
could do it, One reads SO much in all
the magazines about people making
Summer bungalows and furnishing
them for next to nothing. Oh, do let
US try, Dogyard,'
We talked over our project all
night, and the next morning we sal
lied forth TO try to find site for our
new home. As Beryl Cwho was brim-
ming over with fun as the result of
talking all night put 1t, The first
thing is to get the ground"
Here fortune favored us. We had
hardly got to the edge of the town
when Beryl suddenly exclaimed, "Oh
look DoCyard, look, there's exactly
the Site 1t was a piece of waste
land on the edge of a gully, with a
brickyard on one side of it and a
gravel pit on the other. 1t had no
trees on it, and it was covered with
ragged heaps of tin cans, old news
papers and stones, and a litter of
broken lumber.
Beryl's quick eye saw the possibiI-
tiles of the situation at once. "Oh,
Dogyard" she exclaimed, isn't it just
sweet, We can clear away all this
litter and plant catalpa tree to hide
the brickyard and a hedge of copper
nicus or nuX vomica to hide the gravel
pit, and some bright flowers to hide
the hedge. l wish l had brought some
catalpa seed. They grow so quickly"
WED better at least wait / said,
"tiIl we have bought the ground
And here a sudden piece of good
fortune awaited us. 1t 50 happened
that the owner of the lot was on the
snot at the time-he was seated on a
stone whiting d stick while we were
talking, and presented himself to us.
After a short discussion he agreed to
sell US the ground for one dollar in
cash and fifty cents on three-year
mortgage. The deed of sale was writ
ten out on the spot and stamped with
n 2-cent stamp, and the owner of the
lot took his departure with every eX-
preston of good will. And the magic
sense of being owners of our own
ground rendered us both jubilant.
That evening Beryl, seated on her
little stool at my feet, took, a pencil
and paper and set down triumphantly
a, statement of the cost of our bunSa-
low up to date. | introduce it here as

THESE SHOPS REVERSE
CASH-AND- CARRY PLAN

The We-Fone-U Stores have recent
ly made their appearance in the South,
the first being established at Tampa,
Florida. They represent a chain of
meat and grocery stores which have
approached the problem of reducing
overhead costs from an entirely diff
ferent angle than the cash-and-carry
stores. Instead OF reducing the serv-
ice to the customers, they have eff
fected economies in the operation OF
their establishment. but without the
elimination Of sales and delivery
service.
AS store location is not so i'm
portant to telephone shoppers, so long
as the orders are filled on schedule
time and satisfactorily, these stores,
instead of being in the high rent dis
trict, may be located on a side street
at a nominal rent.

Walter L. Main Show Coming
To Oakland,

Arrangements were made today for
the appearance of the Walter L. Main
shows in Oakland, on Monday, May
18th.
The announcement OF the coming of
this famous tented organiza ion, now
in its 10Th year, is attracting ; great
deal Of interest among the lovers of
the dear old white tops"
During the almost half century
the Walter L. Main Shows has been
on the road, said L. C. Gillette, the
general contracting agent, at has
grown and prospered until today the
equipment and paraphernalia has set
a standard by which many other or
CARNATIONS are patterned. Walter L.
Main, early in his career as a show
man, adopted platform of honesty
and square dealing with the public
This together with a policy of decency
and cleanliness has enabled him to
reach the zenith in his field"
A specialtr ofdouble lengthrail-
road cars will bring the big show
here. The paraphernalia and equip
ment represent an expenditure of
more than three quarters of a mil
lion dollars. There are upwards of
500 men and women and 200 horses
with the show; almost ten acres of
tents; herd of elephants, cara
van of eamels from the great desert.
The menagerie will be fully up to
the high standard Of eXcellency main
tanned by Walter L. Main in other
years. The performance this season
will see scores of added European
features and novelties. The cham
pion riders, acrobats, aerialists, GYM
nasts and equilibrists of Continental
Europe and America will be seen, so
it was stated by Mr.. Gillette.
There will be two performances at
2 and 8 p. m, the doors opening an
hour earlier to permit a visit to the
geological collection or to enjoy a
concert by the military band. An i'm
mense street parade will be seen on
the downtown streets at noon on show
day.

new discovery which, experts agree,
