There is every indication that the 1927 Better Homes campaign will be the most extensive ever held. This national educational movement, in which Secretary Hoover is so keenly interested has been growing since its inception in 1923, at a rate which proves its importance as a social and civic torce. In 11)25 there were 1SC7 local com mittees carrying on campaigns of education in the ways of improving housing conditions and home life 1 more than twice the number for the' year previous. In 1!)2G the figure mounted to 29G.r. Already, in March 1927 there are 2900 committees es-' tablished in cities, towns and rural communities throughout the country.'

Doctors are unable to say if bis disease is a result of infection from the horse. Two cows died with in a few miles of the Ward farm last month, and an examination of their heads by the state laboratory dis closed death was due to rabie3. Lee Washington, af farm hand, who worked for Ward when the horse he owned died of rabie3 two years ago, came to Red Oak today from the farm of Frank Wolf, where he Is now working, and submitted to treatment for rabies. All dogs were ordered leashed or muzzled by city officials here two weeks ago. Journal Want Ads bring results.

Dysart, a well known resident of southern Cass county in the vicinity of Union, oc curred yesterday at the hospital in Omaha, where he has been for some time past. The deceased was some fifty years of age and has been a resident of the vicinity of Union for a long period of years. The body was taken to Union this morning and the funeral services held there today from the Union Bap tist church, conducted by Rev. W. A. Taylor and interment was in the West Union cemetery.

I The Better Homes movement is not confined to the forty-eight states. There are four committees in the Hawaiian Islands, one of them repre sentative of Uie whole island of Ktuai. There are also organizations! in Alaska and Porto Rico. In Hawaii innd Porto Rico, whore there are large native populations, the committees crry on most valuable work in edu i eating the people to modern living I conditions showing how health and ' happint s can be eenserved by com j fortable. clean, well-designed houses, I furnished and equipped with regard i for American standards, i One of the most interesting projects ,'bcinf- conducted locally is in St. Paul. ' where a house has been built during the winter. This project is important :in view of the recommendations of Mr. Hoover's Committtee on Seasonal Oprratirn in the Construction Indus j trios, which was part of the Presi j dent's Conference on Unempleyment 1 of 1021. That committee reported, i briefly, that custom, not climate, i mainly responsible for seasonal idle i ness in the construction industries. ! and that such idleness results in j serious loss to producers and distri butors, ami particularly to employees ' and the public. Ii; this St. Paul undertaking it has been actually shown that a house' can be built during severe winter weather, not at greater, but at less cost than during the rush season of builtVing. This is a valuable object lesson, and has already attracted widespread attention. Although the house at St. Paul may T?e the only "Winter Demonstration House" built this year, many other ; comrmues are huilding or securing ; houses to demonstrate during Better j Homes Week, and a considerable num ! her of these will be constructed much j earlier in the season than is usual In 1 the industry at present. The number j of communities demonstrating houses nas increased steadily in the past four annual campaigns. It is confidently expected that there will be demonstra tion houses in at least 400 communit ! ies th is year. j O'io rf the most encouraging factors jof the Better Homes movement as an ! educational force has been the estab lishment in various cities of perman ent home information and training centers. Three such centers have been established and are used by Girl Scouts in Waltham. Mass., Philadel phia, and Washington. This year a similiar house will be built for the Girl Scouts of Hoboken, New Jersey, j The committee for Montgomery j county and Clarksville, Tenn., which , won a prize in last year's Better 1 Homes Campaign, is planning an even ! more extensive program for 1927, i which will include the demonstration of several houses. t At Stockton. California, the Better ! Homes chairman is the instructor of carpentry classes in the local high school. Following a practice which is becoming more and more wide spread, these classes will build a house, as they have done in previous years, and will demonstrate it dur ing Better Homes Week. The demonstration of houses will not constitute the whole of the na tional programs, however. In past campaigns local committees have al ways arranged educational programs of meetings, contests, and demonstra tions. Preliminary reports from local Better Homes chairmen indicate that these programs will be more extensive) and carefully planned than ever be fore. In many places of a rural char acter, tours will be conducted to homes of outstanding beauty or con venience or to the prize winners in contests for home improvement con-i ducted by home bureaus and county t home demonstration agents. 1 The Better Homes movement has p w won a secure place among educational tattn Loans and civic forces of the country. Its 1n.n-nHr0 increasing importance has been ac- 'HStwcHlce corded widespread appreciation, and j more and more, cities and towns have found that participation in the Better Homes campaign is a civic a.'set of) real value.
