J 3 to J 1 RED A1EN WILL ORGANIZE A tribe ( lotlyc ) of Red Men s being organized in the city by the national representative , Col. J. G. Albright. The Kcd Men s the oldest fraternal order in America and lias a total mcm- jcrship confined to American citizens of over six mndrod thousand. T he Red Men were the original liberty boys and minute men who as serted their great strength as a raternal and patriotic organixa- ion on Hie occasion of the Bos ton Tea L'.trty on the JOtli day of December , 1773 , when they threw 342 chests of tea into the waves of Boston Harbor. The listory of the Red Men is con- tcmporanious with America and its members can justl } * claim to be liniel dccendauts of the real fathers of our country in princi ple , patriotism , and a fraternity and good fellowship that is noble and true in every day life , whether in sickness or in health , distress or death , education of the orphan and protection and aid of the widow. Mr. Albright has been imminently successful in the establishment of his order and expects to organize in Hroken Bow with one hundred charter members of the most de sirable material.

One hundred and thirty-three ycaifi ago today our forefathers rose up against the British and declared themselves free and in dependent people and that is why we celebrated this day and right we should. Let's get right down and celebrate it right as an honor to our forefathers , who freed our country. A much needed rain visited the Valley today , moistening up things generally. The oats crop is heading and will do to harvest in about 'two weeks. W. F. Ilolcomb is building a fine house on his farm. We often hear the remark that "it would be impossible to keep , house without the Rui'uiu.iCAN. " Why ? Because it brings fresh and good news. Our mail carriers did not get a - holiday this 4th of July , as the 1th came on Sunday , Mr. Kenyon was in Dry Valley visiting with his brother over Sunday. - The third plowing of corn is the topic among the farmer ? these times , Cast your ballot in favor of J.

M27-tf ' Home Course In Modern Agriculture XVIL The Farm Home By C. V. GREGORY , Agricultural "Di-Oiston , lottta Stale College , , Conyrltltt 1000 by Amerlcnn I'rcsi Aaioclntloti IIH farmer Is more Important tluui his fnrm , and the must lmi > orliint crop ho raises Is not corn nor hogs , but boys niul girls. The success of a fttruicr la not measured so much by tlm money lie makes ns It Is by the happiness lie brings to himself uml to his family. One of the surest ways of accomplish ing this ( Mid Is by making the home surroundings attractive. There la no place on earth where It Is easier to Iiuvo an attractive home than on tlm farm. Yet In spite of this too many farm homes are located in the mlddlo of a weed patch that jjocs by the name of garden or nro hfiTiYcnTolilful such n thlck JuiiKlo'ot trees that It hi impossible to sou lu or out. out.Tho The flrst thing to consider Is the Ijonso Itself , U should bo situated on the highest part of the hill on which tlio farm buildings stand. A house need not be expensive to be homelike mid convenient. Indeed , the most ex pensive houses are often thu least homelike. < * The starting point Is the cellar. AVlth but HUle additional uxpenso this can be made the full slzo of the house. In this case the foundation walls should extend to tlio bottom ot rio. xxxut rAiiM iioMis iunr. AND msso > I4ATB rilOM LACK Ol' TIIK1CS , UIIUDUS AND IiAWN. the cellar. ' The first course should beef of hollow brick , laid end to end , and connecting with u tile drain on the IUUU.IL nine. ju HUM miy Avatcr will be kept out of tho" cellar. A cement lloor Is a great advantage and la Inexpensive , slnco the cement need not bo tnoro Hum t\yo of thrco Inclie.s ( Iflck. ' The cellar should be divided into about four rooms. Hollow brick make good partition walla and at the same Jlme help support the lloor. One of Ulo rooms may bo used for vegetables , ono for fruit , milk and butler , ono for a laundry and the fourth ce mented on the Insldo and used as n cistern. If the furnace Is used an other room will bo necessary , or the cistern can bo located outside. For an ordinary sl/ed family r\ \ hun dred barrel cistern Is about thu right size. A partition of ft double layer of Illter brick , with gravel and charcoa\ \ packed bolu'oon , should extend across it. The water Is drawn out from the opposite side of the ( liter from that to which the plpo from the roof omptlen. In this way the- water obtained Is pure enough for cooking or drinking. A plentiful supply of soft water Is a luxury that can be obtained no cheaply that no one can afford to do without It. AVood Is still the cheapest and most satisfactory building material. In building the house the two extremes of sl/.e should be avoided. If the house Is too small Itvlll bo crowded , while If too largo U costs moro and Is harder to Keep clean. In arranging the rooms , convenience and ease c. ' hooping in order are the chief considerations. The large and solemn "spare room , " which was opened only on state occasions , has largely given way to the bright , cheer ful living room with Us bookcases and work and reading tables , which in used every day and evening In the year. This room , together with the dining room , kitchen and bedroom , with a wash nnd bath room If possi ble , will comprise the first story. A wash room , with a sink and a place for overshoes , coata and hats , Is a great help In keeping dirt out of thu kitchen. A buthroom is also n great convenience. A cupboard In the wall between tun Ultchon and dining room Is handy , as the dishes cnn be readied from either side. A spring door between the tvo rooms keeps out the tiles and at the same time opoiis easily. A bedroom on the ground lloor Is almost a ne cessity , especially In the case of sick , ness. The upstnlr.'i will of course bo largely devoted to bedrooms , although It Is often convenient to have ono small room fixed up for a library. The attic makes a good storeroom for seed torn. Probably the most satisfactory way to heat the house Is by a furnace. This is cheaper and cleaner than stovos. If the furnace room is made largo enough to hold a load of cobs and several tons of coal the work of tire building will bo greatly reduced. A register In tlio hall upstairs will be enough to take the chill off the sleeping rooms. It is a good plan to have a furnace plpo run to the kitchen , too , and use a gasoline or kerosene range for cooking. This is cheaper , handler and cleaner than c cook stove , and the kitchen can bo kept much cooler in the summer time. Most farm homos are very poorl ? lighted. A kerosene lamp Is dirty , smells bad and does not give ver.v much light. A gasoline lamp Is much better , llcst of all Is the acetylene gaH system. After this Is once Installed It can bo operated cheaply and will fur nish an abundant supply of light. The water system Is another thing In which farmhouses are behind those In the city. There Is scarcely a house In a town of any size but that Is provid ed wlt'i water and sewage systems. In the country these are the exception rather than ( ho rule , yet they can bo put In at a small cost. An air tight tank in the cellar Is sometimes used to supply the pressure for n farm water system , but is rather expensive. The water can also bo drawn from the elevated tank at the barn , If ono Is used there , the only dis advantage In this case being that cis tern water cannot bo used. On the whole , the most satisfactory plan is to have a small galvanized tank in Ilia attic. A little covering in the coldcut weather will kcop It from freezing , and a few minutes work with the cistern pump each day will keep It filled. Hy having a heater attached to the furnace or to the kitchen stove and making the proper connections hot ami cold water can bo supplied to the bath room , the wash i-ooiii and anywhere else that it in wanted. The laundry room downstairs Is the plnco where the convenience of such U system will bo appreciated moat. ID this room the washing machine , tubs , wringer and other utensils can be kept. An opening in the floor con nected with the tile drain will carry oft' the waste water , and hot and cold water from upstairs will be al\vay on tap. Such a room , together with Uw entire water system , can bo fit rod up for less than $100. Another convenience that can be in stalled at small cost is n sewerage sys tem , This can be connected with tlm bathtub and sink , ami with a small additional expense another luxury that door closet , can be added. Drain pipe well cemented at the joints should be used In constructing the sewer. The cheapest form of outlet U the "septic tank. " ' This Li a Small underground tank divided Into four compartments , so arranged that tvliun the llrst of these becomes full it will overllow Into the ne.cond. and KO on. The tank should bo covered and pro vided with a ventilator. The action , of bacteria in the septic tank will de stroy all the solid matter , so that the water which ( lows out the lower end Will ! > > clear and have no objectlon- itblo odor. With an occasional clean ing out such a tank will last forever. The house should be provided \vltl plenty of porches. These Increase tlu > expense somewhat , but also add mneU to the comfort and appearance of the house. Vines trained up over them tit keep out the sun and screens to keei * out the ( lies make them still moro comfortable. Nothing adds moro to the external appearance of the hou.se than a neat lawn of ample size. Do not majce It ; I'lO. XXXIV A COUNKU Ol' A Nr.ATIY AH- HANOKD LAWN. too large , however , or the work of mowing will be likely to bo neglected. A lawn Is not hard to make A llttlo work leveling and preparing a Him seed bed and a liberal application ol ! blue grass seed that will grow will almost certainly result in a good lawn. Do nut make the common mistake of planting trees too close to the house. They detract from the appearance and make the house close and stuffy. The opposite extreme should be avoided idso. A few trees about the edges of the lawn furnish grateful shade and provide a Hanking for the picture of which the house IB the central figure. The decorative value of shrubs Is of ten not appreciated as much as it should bo. A climbing rosebush over the porch or a few dwarf varieties in out of the way corners will add to the color and beauty of the yard. There are many other llowcrlng shrubs , such as snowballs , syrlnglas and lilacs , that can be used to till in empty spaces and corners. A row or two of hard maples or elma along the driveway , with a thick ever green windbreak'to the north , will fia > ish the supply of necessary trees un less there are corners or bnro spaces about the yarda that will bo better for a two or two.
