THE "RAIN BELT. "
They used to tell us that weste
Nebraska anywhere west of Madis
county washout of the rain belt ; n
that the Rosebud in Dakota nev
could get into It.
The rain guago would show tl
year that that region "out of the ra
belt" has bad a heap sight more rr
than that territory in the rain belt ,
than a good many eastern nnd in
die western states that used to bon
about their own superiority.
And crops in the country "out
the rain belt" nre going to be gee
too.
AGAIN THE GARDEN SPOT.
While other portions of Amor !

South Dakota once more to becon
the garden spot of the world.
Corn IB king in this great , rich lie
and the corn crop this year promts
to be the very best that ever wi
known. Weather has been Ideal f <
corn throughout the season , hot ni
abundant moisture to soak down at
feed the thirsty roots.
It's a rare delight to travel ov
this territory today and to look at tl
rich green fields of cornstalks , Bhoul
or high and strongly built , waving
forecast of prosperity to the forme
and to the business Interests nt lari
of this great northwest.
There's been enough moisture
the right times to insure a bountlf
harvest of small grain , but the gre
backbone of this region Is corn , ai
the cornfields today are a beautlf
sight to Bee. They point to big bu
ness in the fall.
TO MOVE REAL ESTATE.
Have you some real estate that yi
want to flell ? It is easy enough.
Many people who have for sn
houses or business properties wor

vertlsement costing but a few di
lars , nnd In the end sacrifice hundre
because they did not take the pal ;
through advertising to llml some mi
who really wanted the property.
There are n lot of people son !
where who want just the kind of
thing you own , and want It badly ,
is worth paying the newspaper w <
if It can find not merely the mi
who would buy If you sacrifice , b
the man who is looking for just th

price , if he finds just what he wani
Hundreds of people read the re
estate advertising every day , mere
for the pleasure of imagining th
they own the properties advertise
A well written notice , giving the o
act detail of your farm , location ,
business , will set hundreds of peoji
to wishing they had it. Is that n
more hopeful than to/ trust only
the questionable energy of your re
estate agent , and then pay him u b
commission on the sale , wlujp ]
makes it at a sacrifice ?
THE FLYING MACHINE.
Ton years ago the automobile wi
no further advanced than the fiyli
machine is today. Ten years hen
the flying machine will be moro _ coi
mon than the automobile is now ; I
cause of its immensely smaller fir
cost and cost of maintenance. Na1
gatlon of the air has been accomplis
ed at last.
The transformation has come abe
with surprising suddenness. For sc
oral centuries men have been expe
menting with balloons , without ma
ing much progress. Then came tl
aeroplanes , with their great possibi
ties of dirigibility. Finally , the d
velopment of the gasoline englne'ga'

light , and the whole problem was the
solved. The flying machine today

In every part of this country fllgh
are being made almost every day 1
ambitious pioneers of the air. :

death. Now the aviator can learn h
trade almost as easily as the chav
four or the motorman. He is in i
more danger , ho can make his m
chine do anything that ho wants , ni
about the only field remaining to 1
conquered is the problem of easy bt

It appears to be a certainty th

of the automobile is today.
BOYD'S CANDIDACY.
The announcement of the cnndlda <
of Judge Boyd for the republic ! )
nomination for congress in the Thli

should mean the return of tlio Thii

He went down to defeat in the Brya
wave that swept over Nebraska tv ,
years ago a wave that swept ov (
all party lines.
And since then Mr. Lntta has den
onstratcd that he is a failure as a re ]
resentative of the people of the Thlr
district. A banker with a big chec
book , he will probably make n strei
uous fight to retain his scat. But th
people of this district are going t
want to know a few things , and whe
Mr. Latta gets to explaining , his chec
book may not help. For example , bet
democrats nnd republicans are gel
to be Interested in knowing why
was that Mr. Latta allowed his o\
private Interests as a banker to ovi

been given , on the postal bank bl

Judge Uoyd's record IB a good o

lleve that he will win both the 1101
nation and election.

the Importance
CONSIDERING to the rout of t
home , It Bceuis strange that
should very often be the lor
attractive room from every point
view in the house. We find it tuck
off In some dark corner with little
no ventilation , its wall nnd floor cc
urlng dark and dingy nnd ita c-qul
inont so meager it would be linpossll
to find any pleasure In working wl
them.
Tin1 kitchen Is the workroom of t
home. Its arrangement , pleasant
otherwise , very often gives the kc
note of conditions In the home. A
Idt-a ofa real kitchen Is this :
bhould be as bright and cheery as ai
room In the house. I would much pi
for a gloomy parlor than a dark , u
pleasant kitchen. If possible 1 shou
have a north and east exposure. Tl :
would insure sunlight in the mornli
and a cool breeze on hot Rummer afu
noons. Then 1 should be careful
have n good view from the kltchi
window , something beautiful to lex

mon Is. With such dally views It Is i
wonder If the women , who must spot
three-fourths of their time In tl
kitchen , have very little love for nous
work.
There should be nt least two wl
UOWH and. If possible , an outside rtoi
opposite ones window in order to ha' '
good ventilation nt all times. Tl
kitchen should not bu unneeessari
large , but its size will depend on tl
number of persons In the family ai
the amount of work that Is to be doi
PLAN OF MODEL KITCHEN
ln It. Too much space between tl
different pieces of furniture necess
tales too many unnecessary steps ,
suitable moderate sized kitchen
about 12 by M feet.
The kitchen should be convenient I
the dining room , either opening dlrcc
ly Into It or. still better , having tl
pantry between the rooms. In the hi
ter case there should be a cupboar
with sliding doors opening into bet
kitchen and pantry for conveniem
in sc'tting the table nnd removin
dishes to the kitchen. The cut give
n plan of a convenient kitchen , shov
ing position of windows and door
also the larger pieces of furniture.
In this plan note the position of tl :
refrigerator , which can be reache
from the outside so that Ice may t
put Into it without coming Into tl :
kitchen. There Is also a window I
the cool room to which a window cuj
board can be attached. This rooi
with Its cupboard will take the plac
of the refrigerator In winter nnd ma
be used as n baking room in he
weather.
The sink , with draining board , is li
cated on the side next the pantr ;
Sliding doors are arranged at the bac
so that dishes washed In the sink ma
be placed on the pantry shelves will
out going into the pantry itself. Ai
other convenient feature in the ni
rnngement of this kitchen Is the pos
tlon of windows between range an
work table , giving good light and vei
Illation. If possible avoid having
door leading upstairs opening In th
kitchen , because In such cases it Is n
most impossible to keep the odors o
cooking from penetrating to the uj
atatrs rooms.
Wall and Floor Covering.
The kitchen to bo sanitary In ever
particular should be finished In som
way that will permit of frequent wasl
ing. The best wall covering is the slu
plest and most easily cared for mate
rial that can be purchased. There i
nothing better for this purpose tha
sanltas , n material similar to ollclotl
The first cost is n little more tha :
paint or tinting , but when carefull ;
applied It Is more lasting. Sanltns 1
put on with paste in horizontal strip
nroutul the room. The edge of eac
piece must be pasted down sccurelj
nud care should be taken to avoli
wrinkles. If a tnblcspoonful of me
lasses Is added to each quart of past
it will stick moro firmly.
The painted wall Js suitable fo
kitchen and pantry provided a fla
finish is glve-n ami a color used In prel
erenco to whltn. A glossy surface , par
tlcularly a white one , is bard on th
eyes nnd becomes very mouotonouc
Wall paper Is not a desirable coverlni

houKokce-pcr , but they represent too
much energy nnd labor to be Included
in modern methods. Floors should be >
covere-d with BOIIIC tnnte'rlnl canlly
cleaned , and tables. Kinks , shelves , etc. ,
should be painted or covered with zinc ,
tile or oilcloth. The zinc table nnd the
tile Rink arc n lasting pleasure and
lessen work to mich un extent that
they HOOD more than pay for the Initial
cost.
Kitchen Furniture.
This Hboiild lie * wimple , durable and
adequate for the > ne'e-els of the houw-
keeper. The kind nnd number of
ple-ceB will largely depend on the char
acter of the heime. But In every kitch
en there- should be a good range , at
least one work table and n convenient
tdnk supplied with running water and
modern plumbing. The-se three artlcli-8
should be near neighbors bucaiiHc they
arc so frequently used nt the same
time.
Whatever the- fuel coal , wood , gat )
or gasoline- should be burned In a
good range- , erne that IH perfect In nil
its parts and equipped with a gooel
baking oven. No part of the hoiiRofur-
nlBhlng Is more Important than thei
kitchen stove and no piece of farm mn-
chlnery , however necessary , should bo
bought by sacrificing the new stove.
Since the preparation of food for the )
table IH an absolute necessity in every
home , the- stove , whatever Its style- ,
should be as good as any part of the
equipment of the entire establishment.
The work table should be high
enough that the worker need not ntnnel
in an uncomfortable position while
Ironing or baking. Kitchen tables nro
made thirty Inches high , which Is not
enough for a woman five feet six Inch
es In height , and to bend over It , as
she always must , results In an unnec
essary weariness or backache. Either
the low table should bo set upon sup
ports or a higher one should bo order
ed. The high stool Is a simple piece
of furniture which should' ' be in every
kitchen. It can be slipped under the
work table when not in use and IB n
convenient seat while preparing vegetables -
tables , ironing and doing tlio number
less other tasks which can be per.
formed sitting just as well as stand-

A clock is necessary In the kitchen ,
also n pair of strong scissors , a pin x iX
cushion with pins nnd some coarse noodles
dles and thread , both white and black.
These are constantly needed , nnd it
makes unnecessary steps to be obliged
to go to the living room for them. It
Is hardly possible to have too many
drawers , shelves and cupboards , and
yet these ought not to be used to en
courage cllsorderllncss. There Is some
times a temptation to hideaway things
In cupboards or drawers that would
better be destroyed at once than have
them add to the task of straightening
up later on.
The modern kitchen may have other
useful pieces of furniture in addition
to the above. If there Is money enough
to provide them. Among these may
be mentioned a water or electric motor
or oven a small one horsepower gaso
line engine , any one of which will run
the washing machine mangle , churn ,
cream separator and can be attached
to the sewing machine. This llttlo
contrivance IH not so expensive that It
need be excluded from even moderate
homes , considering the amount of
work It will accomplish and the
strength It will save. When a woman
Is obliged to do all her housework It
ought certainly to be counted as one of
the necessities. The kitchen cabinet
with separate compartments for nil
kinds of groceries jind supplies Is
sometimes preferred to the pantry. It
Is entirely a matter of personal pref
erence which should be chosen , for
both arc most convenient. Reason
able care must , however , be taken not
to leave groceries lying about loosely
In the cabinet , for these will attract
Insects ns well as mice. But the
housekeeper endowed with oven the >
most ordinary degree of order may
easily avoid such a misfortune.
The electric or gasoline Iron is n
handy little appliance for making
kitchen work lighter and Is incxpen-
elve when usefulness nnd labor sav
ing qualities nre balanced with dollars
lars and cents. In the country , of
course , the gasoline Iron Is generally
the only one possible , but these have
now been brought to a degree of per-
'ectlou that makes them satisfactory.
The Use of the Kitchen.
Ono last Important point to remem
ber in furnishing n kitchen Is that its
real purpose Is a workroom , not a liv
ing or dining room. A workroom
should have Its tools conveniently ar-
anged within easy reach of the work
man. All utensils and evidences of
rcltchen work should not be kept in
Hhcr parts of the house or stoweel
uvay in obscure places in order that
: ho room may bo presentable- when
strangers come. The modern kitchen ,
s not Intended to till the place of n
cceptlon room , and only in exception-
il cuscs should it bo used ns a dlnlug-
oom.
