POINTS OUT SOME ADVANTAGES
OF ROW-HOUSE CONSTRUCTION
Gives Saared Persons Opportunity to Acquire Better
Homes in Better Neighborhoods, Says
Morris Cafritz.

Economies of row-house construc-
ton, which are passed on to the pur-
chaser, are numerous.
In the first place the operative
builder developing a subdivision or
large tract Of land, by purchasing that
land years before it is ready for sub
division, can save probably so per cent
on the actual value, the purchaser or
a home naturally benefiting by his
enormous saving.
In the second place, the large-scale
operations of row-house builders re-
suit in decided economies in overhead,
labor and material costs IN roW-house
construction. Large financial resources
and great purchasin power enable the
operative builder to buy better ma
teriaIs for his house for less money,
and the fact that one foreman can
supervise the construction OF 80 houses
as well as one house, and practlcaliy
no additional equipment Is needed,
makes the labor cost correspondlngiy
less per house than if one house were
being built.
Architecture Declared Better.
Aside from the economies mentioned
above in material and labor. the out.
standing fact is that the purchaser oil
a row house also gets better mouse
architecturally than II he endeaVored
TO build a single house.
The big construction companies now
adays have in their employe their own
architects and engineers, and whereas
the individual building his own nome
would have to pay for the services OF
such IA man to make his plans, IN
buying one of a number of homes. he
only paws a proportionate cost of serV-
ices Of such an expert. In addition TO
the decreased cost in this respect,
architects specializing in row houses
are able to produce n plan Of greater
beauty and attractiveness and more
desirable arrangement of rooms and
facilities to take into consideration all
the economies of space and TO enhance

LAMBOYANT courage, the
II kind that leads men to do big,
brave deeds in a big brave way
while an admiring crowd looks on, is
not too hard for many people to at
tain. But quite another thing is the
quiet course that leads enc, in face of
heavy odds and devastating circum-
stances, to go on and on about the
simple every day thing, even when
the spirit for the doing has been sap
ped. That sort of courage is the
kind one of Redwood County's farm
ers is showing right now-and show
ing it with simplicity of faith and
a directness of action that make
those who know his pause to marvel.
With loss by death in his family at
the same time that fire swept away
possessions whose value cannot be
measured in money, this man has
come back to his work on the farm
farm buildings he had erected by
years of toll; back to the rebuilding of
a dairy herd which was the growth of
fifteen years of hard and constant
care-swept away in single hours
fire. And this thing is being done
by him and his family as matter
of course, and with no least symptom
of self-pity or of gloominess-in
fact they very openly express their
thankfulness that so bad a situation
was no worse. Courage is more than
a word of two short syllables 1t is
the foundation upon which many
things are built and many purposes
are served. Just now it is being
spelt in this community by the let

as whole has SO much FOR Gov

what he has done during his long
service as one of Minnesota's real
statesmen, it believes in the program
he has outlined and is with him to the
finish to see that he has all the OPP
portunity he needs to rut that pro-
gram across. No thoughtful person
thinks the Governor has had a fair
chance to put across all the big things
he stands for-no one could put over
these things in single two-year
term. That is why Ted will come out
beautifully victorious in the June

NEIGHBORLINESS

~ ANY and long have been the
MI discussions as to what is
the loveliest thing in the
world. Who shall say! But sure
ly well in the ranks of love-
ly things is that wonderful quality
called neighborliness. God put into
the hearts of certain people the warm
sunshine of friendliness, the sense of
the service which reached its perfec-
ton in Christ, the pity which fills a
mothers heart, the strength and force
of manhood, the sympathy and good
fellowship of all worthwhile human
beings. When He had gathered these
qualities close and bound them with
the bands of prompt action, common
sense and cooperation He called the
product Neighbors, and He settled
fine bunch of them out on the farms
of Paxton township. When a fire
devasted the farmstead and rung the
heart strings of one of their number
these Paxton neighbors gathered
round. And the things they did! In
single day (of good many hours,
to be sure) this farmers entire crop
was planted without expense or work
on his part. The sorry remnants left
by the fire were removed before the
owner had even had an opportunity
to look upon them-forever put out OF
his sight so that there should not be
any unnecessary grief added to his al
ready heavy load. Thank God for
the qualities that go to make up
Neighbors-and thank God for the
kind they grow out there in Paxton!
