Sod buildings, cemented in side and out, is the plan of M. Wirt Hiatt, editor and publisher of the Chambers St hi, to beat the building material profiteers, and to set the example Mr, Hiatt is going to build one to house his printing plant. The building, .contrary to the opinion of those who neTr have seen a proper, ly constructed one or who only re member the sod shanty of early days, with willow and dirt roof, will be a handsome structure looking like massive stone. The sod building was decided upon after Hiatt had been notified that the building his office occupied would be torn down by the owner. VI. Hiatt decided to build on lots he owned. The price of material, with the trucking freight- to the inland town and the remembrance of ranch -buildings built in southwestern Holt 40 years or more ago and still in service, determined hnu on sod. The building will be 40 by (0 fect and the walls, four feet thick, will of prairie sod. After the walls have settled the building will be cement ed inside and out and the veneer lined in imitation of masonry. The thick, noncondiu tive walls as sure that the cold wind-, of-winter never will penetrate Jto freeze and in the most severe weather a small stove Vill supply atjple heat. In the summer the employes in the build ing will enjoy an even temperature cooler than the breezes stirred up by an electric fan. The building will not be a temporary one, as buildings of a like construction and known to be 100 years olfl are still in use in California. State Auditor Will Issue Warrants for Road Work Lincoln.
