THIS SUMMER opens up and
AS wo visit our friends it IB nut an
uncommon sight to sou lying on
thu lablo or In thu cloak thu
pencil pinna for u now home. This
) H not only true In ( own anil with the
newly married people but It IB nlso
trno of the people in the country.
Not only Is thu man who IIHB been liv
ing ; on rented farms until ho now pos
sesses a farm of his own planning for
a now homo , but the farmer who has
been compelled to strive hard and
BIIVO carefully until now ho haa the
farm paid for , is doing likewise.
Building n new homo Is not as sim
ple an buying a new horse. If the new
horse does not prove a good bargain
it can generally bo sold for as much
no was paid and the purchaser bo
ahead his experience. If the new
homo Is built and is not properly ar
ranged it cannot be sold at anywhere
near the original cost , neither can It
bo torn town and be remodelled with-
When the early settlers located their
homes in Kebiaska they assumed that
there would never be any fuel but
what they gathered along the creeks ,
or any water obtainable except on low
ground. They did not know the pos
sibilities of water fiom wells and they
did not know that trees would grow
and make windbreaks , EO they built
their tiny homes down by the creek
out of the way of winter winds , where
water was euro and fuel handy. Hut
who IB them now who does not have u
feeling of sympathy for the farmer's
wife who lives the summer through
down behind the hill with no view
except across the yards to a clay bank
with this name bank cutting off all
the cooling summer breezes. Not only
Is the housewife In such a home shut
off fiom looking out over the country
or seeing the neighbors pass , but she
Is also shut off from looking out over

out nearly as much expense as to
build anew. Planning a new homo is
not a task of a mlmito and neither
should It be left entirely to the car
penter. It IB quite true that the car
penter has soon many houses and has
good ideas but h too often plans a
house which Is easily constructed in
stead of one which is well and con
veniently arranged.
The new home should bo planned
for the convenience of the immediate
occupants , of course , but it should also
bo permanently planned. That is , It
should bo planned for the future. So ,
in planning the homo there are some
general rules which are common to
nil families , and in addition the homo
should bo arranged to take advantage
of all that nature has to offer In the
way of comfort and convenience.
The smell of a hog yard no doubt
seems good to the man who has It
filled with $8 hogs , but when he goes
into the IIOUFO to cat , he wishes the
wind would blow the other way. The
wind blows in certain directions a ,
largo part of the year , so place the
K
house in a direction fiom the yards
and barns such that the least num
ber of winds of the year blow across
the yard and then to the house. In
nil parts of Nebraska the winter
winds arc from the northwest , so do
not place the house under any circum
stances southeast of the yards. The
Biimmer breezes in the eastern part of
Nebraska are from the southeast and
in the central and western part they
nre from the south , EO avoid placing
the house north and northwest of the
yards. This leaves the following
directions from the yards to set the
house : Southwest and west , north
east and cast.
The house should bo on the most
elghtly place on the farm. It should
also bo on the best drained place.
through the corn rows.
The men can visit with the neigh
bors across the fence and often the
work of the farmer takes him to the
neighbors , but the mother and wife
has no other chance of enjoying n
moment's rest from her labors but
that which is afforded by her gazing
from the windows and watching the
men passing through the fields or the
neighbors passing to town.
It Is nnhcalthful , even in this coun
try of ours which is known for Its
healthful climate , to live down in the
hollows and along the creeks. All
waste from the hills washes down to
the bottoms to decay , the air Is damp
and the ground more or less shaded
so that the rays of the sun cannot
liavo their full effect on the germs
which nre floating around.
Some will object that the wlnda
ulow so cold In the winter up on the
hills. Quito true , they do , but we
can bnild artificial windbreaks to
ward them off in a degree , and wo can
build our houses warm , and besides
it does not take much more fuel to
keep the house warm on a hill than
in a hollow. We must remember that
we have means of warming our houses
but wo do not have means other than
those afforded by nature to keep them
cool.
cool.Let
Let there be as much natural drainage -
ago about the house as possible , and
when this Is not sufficient , provide It
artificially by grading.
Some desire the house situated close
to the highway. This is not essential ,
providing n good view can be had of
the highway and yet have the house
back some distance. Often a more
extended view can be had by having
the house farther away. An inviting
and well kept drive , leading from the
highway to the house , always gives a
good first impression of the place.

A MODEL SILO.
For many years the Nebraska Ex
periment station at Lincoln has used
eilage for feeding both their dairy and
their beef herds of cattle. At the
present time they are feeding sixty
head of steers experimentally , using
ellage in comparison with other feeds ,
Four silos arc In use upon the farm
at Lincoln , and another silo will prob
ably he erected next year , since the
capacity of the four silos Is not suf
ficient to furnish silage for summer I
feeding.
A silo has also been purchased for
the Experiment station at North
Platte , Neb. , where silage will bo used
In feeding beef cattle and In maintain
ing a breeding herd. It Is expected
that exporlnn-nts will bo undertaken
there to determine the difference In
economy of leef production with and
without silage for the man who is lo
cated in the central and western portion
tion of the state.

A Word From Wernervllle.
Warnerville , Neb. , Sept. 19. Edl-
tor News : Having learned from my
pupils and others , of the comments
made by some concerning the exhibit
of the Wnrnervlllo school at the re
cent county fair nt Madison , I wish to
make n public statement to correct
false criticisms made and circulated
on the fair grounds nnd perhaps in
other places.
The maps there shown nnd the
physiology Mid other drawings were
not traced. Wo have allowed no trac
ing nnd the pupils themselves scorn
to use such a method. They know
they can do things. They take pleas
ure In mastering whatever they are
set to perform.
The public should know that the
work exhibited is the result of three
years' work by the same class of
pupllH under the direction of the same
teacher. It has been honestly done
nnd the pupils feel justly proud of
their proficiency nnd justly Indignant
that they hnvo been misunderstood.
The work Is good , but it is not re
markable. It Is what every rural
school should be doing nnd what
every rural school can be doing under
the direction of a teacher who stays
long enough In the same place to ac
complish it. It is what can be done
In every district where the teacher Is
not discouraged and hampered by the
opposition of parents nnd school
boards who obect to anything that
looks like changing the old order of
things In practice when they were In
school llftcen to twenty-live years
ago.
ago.The pupils of the Wnrnervllle
school Invite the public , nnd all doubt
ers especially , to visit them nnd see
them at work. They will cheerfully
draw maps of Wnrnervllle marked
thereon , skulls nnd a set of cross
bones for the ones who oppose prog
ress , nnd palm branches for the hope
ful company who , with them , have
faces looking to the years to come ,
where usefulness and perhaps glory
wait on nil who honestly improve the
golden present. Respectfully ,
- Mrs. C. H. Brake , Teacher.

Will Take Up McBride Fight.
Omaha , Sept. 20. As a result of
agitation on the part of the bankers
of Nebraska a general attack may be
made by the state government upon
the money order business transacted
by the various express companies. At
any rate the attorney general will be
asked to investigate the charge that
express companies nre doing a bank
ing business outside the pale of the
law and to take legal action In the
event that his investigation warrants
it.
The executive council of the Ne
braska Bankers' association has ap
proved taking up the fight agalnsl
the express company money ordei
business nnd the association is expect
ed , in its resolutions , to put the mat
ter squarely up to the attorney gen
oral.
Interest In Kelsey Speech.
Members of the association crowded
into the convention hall and gave
most interested attention yesterday
when Charles II. Kelsey , an attorney
of Norfolk , outlined what ho conceives
to be the status of the express com
panies in carrying on this form ol
business. Mr. Kelsey is attorney for
Willis McBride , president of the First
National bank of Elgin , who Is credit
ed with "taking the bull by the horns"
and crytalizing the objection to the
express company money order busi
ness Into an active fight.
Mr. McBride purchased $2,000 worth
of money orders from the American
Express company in Omaha. When
ho presented them for payment at
Elgin ho was able to collect only $300.
Before the additional $1,700 was ship
ped into Elgin ho began suit on three
protested orders. The express com
pany enjoined further suits and the
case Is now pending in this condition.
Summed up Mr. Kelsey's conclusions
are these :
"Tho business of issuing such orders
Is banking and can bo conducted on
ly by such-persons and under such
rules ns are provided In the Nebraska
laws of 1909. "
CAN'T PAY THE INTEREST.
Great Western Cereal Company Up
Against it Morton President.
Chicago , Sept. 20. A long drawn
out fight in the courts probably will
follow the action of the Great West
ern Cereal company in falling to
pay the semi-annual interest duo Sep
tember 1 OP Its first mortgage C per
cent bonds of which there are $ G84-
500 outstanding. The company today
advised the Chicago bank which IB
trustee for the bond Issue that Its
mills nre closed and that it has no
funds to pay the bond Interest
amounting to $20,535.
The-company recently obtained $ ! ,
000,000 by the sale of two mills and
certain trademarks and used $290-
000 to pay the corporation's obliga
tions , but an Injunction issued by
Judge Horan at Muscatlne , In. , re
strains the Chicago bank from payIng -
Ing over the money to the company.
By the trust deed the company has
sixty days to pay Interest on the
bonds duo September 1 before fore
closure proceedings may ho begun ,
It Is said the money held by the Chicago -
cage bank Is sufficient to pay prac
tically all the company debts but cer
tain stockholders deny the right ol
the bondholders to such a distribu
tion. Joy Morton , former president
of the company declined to discuss its
affairs today.

"The Aviator" On the Stage.
The aeroplane interest in the lit
erature of the day will do much to
make the public familiar , not only
with aviation terms nnd technical
questions , but with actual progress
In the science. It will tend to dimin
ish the common fear of flying. Every
mention of the machines for navi
gating the air In story or play , even
jokingly , is a step forward In the
public eye. For speaking constantly
for or against some certain object
makes every one curious to under-
j stand just what it is. Were it possl-
ble , wo would mention several short
I stories , here which contain aeronautic -
: tic interest , but these are too numer-
J ous. Only one play has been written
i however , where aviation Interest Is
| sustained throughout. There are sev
eral short sketches now on the vaudc-
! ville stage , but "The Aviator" as It
was produced last fall in New York ,
wns the first real play to apear. The
story and play will certainly tend to
aeroplane advancement , although
I much of the comedy Is derived from
the possibilities of accident to the
hero who finds it Imperative that ho
must fly a monoplane when he has
had absolutely no experience. That
be should finally KO up and make
good with a seventy mile flight Is of
course Impractical In real life , but
more than allowable In a play. This
excellent comedy with a real Blerlot
XI monoplane will be at the Audi
torium next Tuesday evening , Sep
tember 20.
