Mr. William A Hadford will answer qnesllOns and give advice l-’HKIC Ol' OOHT an all Hiihjc la pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of thb paper (in account of his wide experience as Kdllor, Author ind Manufacturer, he la, wlthoijt doubt, the highest authorlt> on all these mhjects.

Musi people in discussing bungalows art; inclined to associate them with the lurgcr cities, towns or suburbs. lint they overlook a lies! bet. There Is no renMin why the bungalow should not be adaptable for a farm home. In fact, there are many reasons In its favor, the iiuilii one being tlmt all of the rooms are on one lloor. There is no fatiguing climbing up and down stairs for the farmer’s wile and daughters who tube euro of the housework. More over, hull! ns infill homes generally are, low, rumbling ami comfortable, tin* bungalow design tits in very well. It offers unlimited opportunity for exte rior decoration In the way of (towers and vines, and there Is no reason why pructlcully the four sides cannot be Hurrotmdod by a great roomy porch. Slleh Is the ease ill the house shown In the accompanying illustration, Here we hate a low, rumbling dwelling house sel upon a broad plot of lawn. Around front and side extends a wide open porch approximately ptti feet in length. Il makes a wonderful resting place for tlu* men and family after a hard titty’s work in the held or about the house ami a real playground for the children. Two small porches on the opposite side of the house have been made Into steeping porches, giv ing plenty of healthy sleeping space to the house. Entrance to the house Is gained by it short stairway to the porch, which at tills point Is extended slightly beyond tin' main building line. The building Is frame in const ruction, that is, shingle sided, and rests on n concrete fomidul lon. opening tin* front door, the visitor finds himself In the dining room, a large room ts by 1- feet, large enough for a number of eaters, which are al ways found on a farm, especially dur ing the busy harvest days. At the right, so called ueeordeon doors open tin* way •o the living room, of practically equal r s t Ij’P W 0 i-t' !f'- —rr - ■H v 'I ® L Li K ¥ 'gl iIMS yt 1 ! ! is i l-T I | &= I Mi ’ Ulp & i 4 ■ --X* 1 TjA si/e with the dining room and having the advantage of an unusually large hay window with three broild windows facing tin' roadway. This room also opoes out on to the large porch through French doors of artistic de sign. K very where the Idea of generous si e and comfort is apparent. The liv ing room is H h> IT feet. On the opposite side of tin* dining room Is a d<«»r leading to the kitchen, which, by the way, is not like many of the obi sty le farm kitchens. It is smaller by far but just as complete, hi fact a much more efficient workshop Mild a factor In lightening the duties of the farmer’s wife. Grouped about thi- room in reachable fashion are cup boards. sink work table and range. It if, is but u few stops to the dining room where the meals are served. Still another door opens out of tile dining room into u short hall in the hack of the house, opening on one side to n linen closet und to two bedrooms and the broom. The bathroom ordi narily would not call for any comment, tis it Is the usual thing in city houses, hut this farm home is just as modern as any city home. Here we have a modern bathroom with fixtures, run ning water and showers. The w ater " supply Is made available by a water supply system. Next to the bathroom on Ihe right side is a bedroom, 11 feet <i inches by Id feet 0 inches, and across the hull from this room is another bed room of the same size. Both of these bedrooms open out on to sleeping porches. The latter are excellent sleeping quarters for the young and growing children, who re quire plenty of fresh air at nil times. finning hack to the kitchen, we find it opening Into a handy washroom, equipped with u complete set of laun dry machinery, ironing hoard. lockers or the workmen’s clothes, tubs, etc. This room, which is 10 by 10 feet, is one of the important parts of a farm house. There is always much washing to he done. Labor-saving equipment of tin* type installed In this home cer tainly will relieve the women of tin* household of untold drudgery. More over Ibis room nerves as a cleaning-up place for the men returning from their work in tlu* Helds. Instead of tracking through the kitchen where the wife l> trying to prepare n meal, they cun step into the washroom and clean up be fore eating and without messing up j any other part of the house. Conven j lently adjacent is iT lollel equipped j with a chemical closet. The stairs to I the attic above anil to the cellar be- i low start In Ibis section of the house, j Considered as n whole this is a very ! delightful roomy house that will bring Infinite pleasure and comfort to any farmer and his family. It Is not pre tentious by any means but attractive. It demonstrates beyond till shadow of doubt that the bungalow can be used on the farm with very satisfactory re j suits. SHELL SHIPS TO SAVE THEM British Coastguard Stations Will Soon Be Equipped With Guns Firing Peculiar Ammunition. Most people are aware that oil ha a remarkable effect on the waves of a stormy sea. Many a ship has been kept afloat in a tempest by tier crew pouring overboard part of the oil that formed her cargo. The reason why oil has ills wonder ful eft’ect Is that it floats upon water, uuil that It spreads Itself Into a very thin film over an enormous area. A pint of oil will cover more than an acre of water. This floating film acts as a kind of Insulation, preventing the w ind from acting fully upon tin* water. The waves decrease in size, and soon a comparative calm results. An Idea has been developed recently which may result in the saving of numbers of hard-pressed ships. Coast guard stations arc to be provided with guns which tire shells filled with oil. If distress signals are seen by the watchers, tin* gun will he taken to the nearest possible point to tin* ship. Shells will then he tired, aimed to strike the water ahead and astern of her. As ouch falls it will burst, allow ing Its contents to spread over the face of the son. In this way the ship may he enabled to hold opt until the i lifeboat can reach her. —London Tit Bits. Fine Feat of Engineering. A remarkable interesting engineer ing operation was performed in Brook lyn. A large theater building, having walls s*o feet lu height was lifted from Its foundations, turned squarely around and moved ffiHt feet to a new site. To turn It, the exact center of the floor was ascertained, and with this as a huh a series of small steel rollers was laid on a prepared plat form, and then the building, resting on steel beams, was allowed to settle down on the rollers. With Jack-screws on two diagonally opposite corners pushing in opposite directions, the structure was then turned us if on a pivot. The moving of brick buildings is common, but this is said to be the largest and heaviest structure that has ever boon put bodily on new foundations. Buying Material.

VERNON, GEORGIA. c- ■■■ ' —--C Stories of Great Scouts By ELMO SCOTT WATSON - —--Q ((g). 1921. Western Newspaper Union.) BEN CLARK. WHOM THE INDI ANS CALLED “Ml-E NO-TO-WAH.” When General Custer’s Fighting | Seventh charged down upon Chief | Black Kettle’s Cheyennes on the ; Washita to the tune of "Garryowen” that cold November morning in 1868, at Ids side rode a man whom the In dians recognized, and they shouted to each other "Look out for Bed Neck! He's a dead shot!” Clark played an Important part in Custer’s campaigns that year, but Ills most valuable services were performed as a scout for Gen. Nelson Miles In the war with the Cheyennes, Arapa hoe’s, Comanches and Kiovvas in 1874. Ills greatest feat was his part in the rescue of the Germaine sisters, two little white girls who had been cap tured wlu ti their parents were mur dered by raiding Cheyennes in their i, Kansas home. Two of tin* girls, Adelaide and Julia Germaine, were recaptured from the Cheyennes when Lieut. Frank Bald win struck the camp of Chief Gray Beard so suddenly lhat the Indians had no chance to kill their prisoners, us they usually did. The girls in formed General Miles Unit two of their sisters, Catherine and Sophia Germaine, still were held by another tin ml of the Cheyennes. Ben Cll.rk immediately set out to discover where they were. After u Jung search lie found that they were in the camp of Chief Stone Calf. Gen eral Miles secured a photograph of Julia and Adelaide ami on the back of it lit* wrote a message to the other sisters telling them that every effort was being made to rescue them. He gave this message to a friendly In dian who visited Stone Calf’s camp and. unobserved by the Indians, slipped it into the hand of one of the girls. The general next sent a message to Stone Calf, demanding his surren der and telling him that no mercy would be shown his warriors unless | the Germaine girls were brought to the nearest army post alive and un ! harmed. In a short time Stone Calf ! came in to the Cheyenne agency, sur ! rendered his white captives and all i four sisters were reunited. Ben ; (.’lark’s scouting had not been in vain. When the Cheyennes were finally subdued, Clark settled down at Fort Beno, Oklu., with them. He became their interpreter in all their dealings with Hie white men, and the Chey ennes came to honor “Bed Neck” as ! much as they had feared him when lie was lighting against them. Later he was custodian of old Fort Beno, anil when he died a few years ago, j after more than 50 years in the gov ernment service, his passing was mourned by white and red men alike. DR. W. fl. CARVER, “EVIL SPIRIT OF THE PLAINS” One daj back in the sixties a trap per was following a narrow trull through the woods near Cedar Moun tain, in Wyoming. Suddenly from a clump of bushes nearby a shot rang out, followed in quick succession by three more. The trapper dropped quickly to the ground and rolled be hind a log, unhurt. Then he waited for the next move of the Indians who had niubushed him. In a few minutes a war bonnet ap peared above a log a short distance away. The trapper was not deceived, for this was an old Indian trick. However, the trapper had a better trick than this up his sleeve. His rifle was not a single shot, for after a winter of successful trapping he hud sold his furs in St. Louis and had bought a repeating rifle, one of the first to be curried in the Rocky moun tains. He had this weapon now, and he Immediately fired, as the Indians were hoping he would do. As he lired four Indians sprang from the bush und with wild yells of tri umph rushed for the trapper. With out removing his gun from liis shoul der, the white man pumped bullets ut oncoming warriors as fast as he could work the lever. Three of the Indians dropped In their tracks, and the fourth, with a bowl of dismay, turned and fled at top speed, followed by several bullets, which the trapper sent after him to encourage the fleeing redskin. When the surviving warrior arrived in his village he told a marvelous tale of ail encounter with a white man who had a "medicine gun” which never stopped shooting and killing. In this way l'r. W. F. Carver, the trapper who had been ambushed, won the name of "The Evil Spirit of the Plnlns," for the Indians learned to tear him and his medicine gun as they did no other trapper who Invaded their hunting grounds. When tlie trapping days ended, l'r. Carver became a scout and guide for the United States army, and during the Sioux war of 1870-77 lie made the acquaintance of “Buffalo Bill" Cody. The two scouts became fast friends. When Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show was organized Carver joiued it as a sharpshooter. He could handle a rifle or pistol almost as skillfully'as Cody himself, and for many years the two scouts appeared iu the arena together.

JUNIOR TOPIC Paul Before King Agrippa. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —An Appeal to Caesar. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Paul’s Courageous Testimony Before a King. I. Paul Before Festus (25:1-12). As soon as Festus; the new gov ernor, goes to Jerusalem, lie is be sieged with accusers against Paul, and they desire that lie be brought to Jerusalem for trial, intending to lie in wait and Kill him on the way. Festus refused their request, but agreed to give them an opportunity to accuse Paul if they would go down to Caesarea. They go, but are unable to prove anything against him. Fes tus, willing to please the Jews, pro poses t<> send him to Jerusalem for trial. For this Paul issues a rebuke to Festus by asserting that tie very well knew that lie was innocent. See ing that it was impossible to get jus tice before Festus, Paul makes use of Ids right as a ltoman citizen, and appeals to Caesar. Paul well knew that to go to Jerusalem meant death, and since Festus was too much of a time-server to release him when he knew that lie was innocent, lie makes use of tlie radical step of appealing to Koine as the last resort. Festus seems to have been taken by surprise. His failure to release an innocent man had placed him in an awkward position, for lie could give no explan ation as to why an innocent man should go to Home for trial. For a man to appear before Caesar would cast reflection upon Festus. He now consulted his council ns to what to do, lint since the Roman law gave every mini the right of appeal to tiie emperor, there was nothing left for him to do hut to grant his request. 11. Paul Before Agrippa (25:13- 20:27). 1. The occasion (25:13-27). This was the visit of Agrippa and Bernice to Festus. Upon their arrival they expressed a desire to hear Paul, whereupon Festus told them of his perplexity; so it was arranged that Paul tie brought before them for ex amination. 2. The defense (25:1-27). (1) The introduction (vv. 1-3). In this he ex pressed his delight that he now could speak and tell his case to one who was able to follow his line of argu ment, for Agrippa was an expert in questions concerning tiie Jews; but most of nil lie was now happy in that lie could witness to him of the Shvlor and perhaps lead him into the light of God. (2) In his manner of life (vv. 4-12). This N he showed had been in strictest accord with tiie most rigid sect of the Jews. He possessed the same hope—that of a coming De liverer —and reminded them of the fact that formerly he was most bit terly opposed to Christ, as his zeal would prove. These facts make the change from a persecutor to an ar dent advocate all the more remark able. (3) llis supernatural conver sion (vv. 13-15). Jesus Christ ap peared to him on the way to Damas cus and revealed himself to him. (4) Jesus Christ commissioned him for his work (vv. 10-18). He was sent unto, the Gentiles (a) to open their eyes, so awfully blinded; (b) to perform tiie blessed work of turning them from darkness to light; (c) to turn them from tiie power of Satan unto God; (d) that they might receive forgive ness of sins; (e) and that they might obtain an Inheritance among the saints. (5) His consecration (vv. 19- 23). As soon as he received his com mission he obeyed. The very vigorous prosecution of his work brought him into conflict with the Jews, for which they sought to kill him. (0) The in terruption by* Festus (v. 24). Seeing how thoroughly in earnest Paul was, lie attempted to account for it by calling him a crank, attributing it to the ravings of an unbalanced mind. (7) Paul’s appeal to Agrippa (vv. 25- 27). Still maintaining his courtesy, lie appealed to his knowledge of the work of Jesus and of the prophets, for they have an Intimate connection. 111. Agrippa Almost Persuaded (26:25-32). Whether this answer is a contemptu ous sneer or not. it is evident that his soul was unwilling to yield. Paul took Agrippa seriously. Paul's heart longed thut Agrippa and all concerned would accept Christ and be saved. “God is Love." We never know through what divine mysteries of compensation the great Father of the universe may be carrying out His sublime plans; but those three words. “God is Love,” ought to contain, to every doubting heart, the solution of all things. —Selected.
