ip LAGSTONE terracing, iron grille bal-
r conies and a quaint wrought iron
lantern give distinction to this little old-
world one-story house. Rough plaster walls
and a colorful tile roof make an attractive
exterior that will find a welcome In any
neighborhood.
But a carefully designed floor plan Is
its greatest appeal. One enters from the
covered loggia directly into the large story
and a half living-room, with its triple-
arched windows reaching from the floor al-
most to the ceiling. The dining room al-
cove to conveniently located and. well
lighted. The kitchen has been deftly
planned to give the housewife the greatest comfort and step-saving.
Everything about the house has been planned to give the utmost to
stability and real home comfort. The walls and ceilings are Insulated through-
out with celotex to cut down the coal bills in winter and keep the house cool
fa the summer. Who could wish for a more beautiful little home.

the Kansas City Star’s capitol correspondent says:
“Uncle Joe lived beyond his days and generation a
iuU tfcore of years, but he lived to the end a “he-man”
.who shot square, took his politics, his religion and his
liquor straight, and who faced the world and the here-

Opinion on any reform was sought. It ran:
I’m thankfu that the eun and moon
Are both hung up bo high
That no pretentious hand can stretch
And pull them from the sky.
If they were not, I have no doubt,
But some reforming ass
Would recommend to take them down,
And light the world with gas.
