Why the McCormick
Mower is Dependable
A BREAKDOWN during the rush time
- ’** of the haying season often means
considerable loss to you. It may delay
your cutting so that your hay becomes
over-ripe and loses part of its nourishment,
or it may prolong the haying season until
wet weather destroys a part of its feeding
value.
There’s mighty little danger of break
downs when you buy a McCormick
mower. It has no unnecessary parts to
wear out and give trouble. It has less
parts than any other mower. Fpr years
and years the McCormick has been cele
brated for its simplicity and durability.
It has given satisfaction to thousands of
hay growers. What it has done for others
it will do for you. Come in and let’s talk t it
over. f

‘‘Why pay rent when rent will pay
for a home?” This is a favorite slogan
of the real estate and building pro
moter, and has been used so much
that the average renter is apt to be
skeptical of its truth. Skeptical or
not, it is true in the average case, as
anyone with a logical mind will read
ily see.
The owner of investment property,
or property that is rented charges
for the use of a house or an apart
ment what he can get for them. It
is true that rent should be fixed so
that the owner will get a reasonable
return on his investment—enough to
pay the taxes, the repairs, a sinking
fund to replace the building when it
falls into decay, and a reasonable in
terest on hlj money. But the law of
supply and demand operates in this
case Just as it does in most others.
And just now the demand is such that
the owners of rentable property are
making up for lean years. They are
charging what they can get and that
is a plenty.
Profitable to Build.
There never was a time when it
was more profitable to build a home.
The return en the investment is great
er now than it lias been in many
years, leaving out of consideration the
comfort and happiness that comes
from living in a home, of one’s own.
The' present day rent will pay for a
home and leave something of the rent
besides.
Building a home, however, is a step
that should be given careful consid
eration. In buying a site the same
care should be exercised as in buying
anything else that requires a consid-
I H I fe
erable investment. The location with
reference to schools, the street, the
character of the residents of the.
neighborhood and above all the prob
ability of that locality improving in
popularity, and consequently in value,
and whether or not the improvements,
such as water and pavements, have
been made, all should be taken into
consideration.
Selection of Design.
The site chosen, then comes the
selection of the design for the home.
It is not good policy to build a’slo,6oo
home on a S3OO site; neither should
a $4,000 house be built on a $4,000
site. The house should be something
like in value the others in the neigh
borhood, for the reason that there
may come a time when it will be nec
essary to sell it.
Illustrated herewith is a modern
wood bungalow of six rooms, a size
that will provide for the needs of the
average family and will be readily
salable should that be necessary.
The dimensions of the bungalow are
29 feet 6 Inches, by 43 feet, which
allows plenty of lawn and garden
space on a 50-foot lot. The exterior
of this bungalow is exceptionally at
tractive, the wide porch across the
front, the long sweep of the roof and
the dormer window in the attic all
make it one of which any owner can
be proud.
The house Is of standard wood con
struction, set off by a porch with
brick pillars and cement steps. This
is economical construction and pro
vides a good weather-ti.ht house.
Room Arrangement.
AU of the rooms in this bungalow
are. of course, on the first floor, but
the roof slope permits a large attic
space, which helps to keep the house
warm in winter and cool in summer.
The floor plan shows the room ar
rangement. Across the front of the
house are the living room and library
adjoining. Back of the left end of
the living room are the dining room
and kitchen, while on the other side
are two bedrooms with the bath be
tween.
The living room is of good size, 20
feet by 11 feet 6 inches, while the col
onnade between it and the library, 8
feet by 11 feet 6 inches, make the two
practically one room. The fireplace
with .4eats on either side and Windows
above at one end of the living
room, while in the library are built
in book cases on eitner side of the
window.
The same colonnade effect is used
between the livipg and dining rooms.
The dining room is 14 by 11 feet 6
inches, and has considerable addition
al room in the large bay window at

the end. Between the dining room
and the kitchen is the pantry, with
shelves and table and a chute for the
clothes to be dropped to the base
ment, where the laundry tubs and
other fixtures are located. The kitch
en is 10 feet 6 inches, by 11 feet 6
inches and off it is an entryway lead
ing to the back porch.
Both bedrooms and the bath open
off a small hall that is reached
through the dining room. Each bed
room is 13 by 11 feet 6 inches and
has two large windows, permitting
plenty of light and ventilation.
A narrow stairway leading out of
the living room connects the fisst floor
with the attic, which is large enough
for a small bqdroom. or a playroom
for the children and storage of trunks,
etc.
Estimating the Cost.
This bungalow was designed by an
experienced architect and has given
the owner excellent satisfaction. A
consultation with the local builder,
material man and architect will bring
an estimate of its cost, which is de
termined largely by the location of
the city or town with reference to
the supply of materials and the la
bor situation.
Reverting to the economy of build
ing a home or renting one, the
thought naturally arises as to how to
finance the building operations.
The lot owner has no difficulty in
securing the money to erect a house
of a cost that is commensurate with
the lot. This is done in several ways,
the best being to borrow from the
bank on a first mortgage and paying
the balance to the contractor in
monthly payments, securing him with
a second mortgage. In this way the
monthly rent payment will in the
course of a number of years secure
the home for the owner.
Building a home now is an invest
ment that no man who uses ordinarily
good judgment in the selection of a
lot and a design for the house will
ever regret.
Velocity of > Stars.
From the spectroscopic measure
ments made at Mount Wilson observa
tory, to determine the radial velocity
of stars (i. e., the speed with which
they are approaching or receding from
our solar system), it appears that the
star A. G. Berlin 1366 has a radial ve
locity of 339 kilometers per second,
the highest constant velocity so far
observed for any star. Next to this
comes Lelande 1966, with a velocity of
325 kilometers per second, in the op
posite direction.
