STAMP SHARKS FOILED BY NEW POSTAL RULING Postmasters Ordered Not to Cash Brokered Savings Certificates. Speculators dealing in War Savings Stamps are hit by the following orders just issued by Secretary of the Treas ury Carter Glass and by the Office of the Postmaster General. The following is quoted from a no tice issued by the Secretary of the Treasury: "My attention has been directed to numerous offers made by unscrupulous persons through advertisements and in other ways to buy war-savings certifi cate stamps and, as a result of such of fense, I am informed that owners of such securities have suffered material losses which could have been avoided by redemption of the war-savings cer tificate stamps at post offices, as pro vided by law. "In order that the interests of owners of war -savings certificate stamps of either series may be safeguarded, I hereby notify all per sons to refrain from offers to buy war savings stamps or accent the samp in trade." Following is the order of A. M. Doek. ery, Third Assistant Postmaster ("inn. eral : "In pursuance of the foregoing, post masters are directed not to pay war savings certificates on which the names or tne owners have not been entered or have been erased or changed, since, ; under the regulations, they are not: transferable and are payable only to the original owners, except in case of death or disability-. "Postmasters are further Instructed not to pay any war-savings certificates presented bv Dersona nr firmo b, i be buying, or publicly offering to buy, war-savings stamps or certificates from the owners, unless positive evidence is submitted that the certificates were originally issued to the persons or nrmB presenting them for payment. "When consulted bv savings stamps in regard to offers to purcnase such stamps at less than cur rent value postmasters should invite their attention to the fact that war savings certificates may be cashed at money-order post offices after 10 davs' written notice, and that this is a privi lege accorded by law. At the same time it should be pointed out that the need of the Government for the pro ceeds of the war-savings stamp Issue is great, and the holders should be urged to retain their stamjw until ma turity as a patriotic act unless their necessities are urgent." DRAGGING IS OF IMPORTANCE Road Improvement May Well Be Con. Idered Reconstruction Measure Increases Farm Values. Roads should not be neglected nt this time In our endeavor to Increase food production. Read Improvement miifht well be deemed a reconstruction meas ure, la many communities they aro much better than In others hernnxA thn farmers are back of the good road movement They realize that a good road saves labor, time, horse flesh and automobile repairs and In addition In creases the aelllng value of the farm. Every progressive farmer should have a road drag and not be afraid to use It A well-dragged road Is a well crowned road, and a well-drained road. The dragging should follow each rain. If properly used It will bring a thin lay er of earth toward the center of the road at each dragging. The travel will roll and solidify It between rains. On roada where too much crown baa been formed the angle of the drag can be reversed. A few draggings will re duce the blgh crown to a more level and much aafer road for fait automo bile traffic.

Rut It is doubtful if the pride of' owner- snip is as strong in the husband ns in the wife and the other members of the household. The latter spend a much greater part of their time in the home than dues the man, whose days are devoted to business. Conse quently it is the wife and daughters who have the greatest interest in the planning of a home. There will be much building of smnll homes this year. The govern ment has removed the restrictions that were imposed on building as a w ar measure ' nnfl plans that were temporarily abandoned can now be brought to fruition. In both country and city building activity will be greatly In evidence as soon as spring comes. In the meantime those who con template building will have the pleas ure of spending the winter evenings planning the home. That is one of the greatest joys of building plan ning just how the home will be after it is finished. Undoubtedly the type of home that has the greatest appe.nl to the sub urban iyid smnll city dweller la the bungalow. The convenience of the bungalow arrangement, the elimina tion of the back-breaking work of running up and down stairs, und the cosiness of having' all of .the rooms opening one Into the other brought into iaimedlate popularity the bun galow. Great Advance Shown. Elnce the beginning of this popu larity, however, there has been a great advance In bungalow designing. One of the best of these lutter de signs is shown In the Illustration ac companying this article. This white bungalow Is a new type in home archi tecture and Is designed fcr those whose lots are larger than ure ordi narily found In the city. It might be culled the Dutch colonial type, and, in Its bulanced simplicity and grace of roof line, will be to the middle Wesi whut the two-story Dutch colo niul houxe Is to the East. The bungalow Is 39 feet wide and 31 feet deep, while the sun porch, sleeping porch and kitchen porch, which are ranged along the back, ex tend eight feet further. The floor plan was designed with the Idea of saving the steps of the housekeeper. The living room is typ ical of a bungalow and has that spa ciousness which' mukus this type of borne so populur. It U 22 H feet long and 2 feet wide. One of lta attrac tions la a large open fireplace, with bookcaaea on either aide. Opening off the livlDg room toward the rear of the house la the dining room, which In large ulso, Its dimension being 11 by 17 feet Ilullt Into the wall between the two windows Is the buffet. Sun Perch Attractive Feature. Connected by a double door la the sun porch to the rear, which (n sum mer makes an attractive breakfast room, and adds to the sense of spa ciousness of the dining room. Toward the other side of the house is the kitchen, which also is of good size and is designed to accommodate the most modern kitchen equipment, so placed as to bring the greatest effi ciency. To the rear of the kitchen is a porch, leading to the back yard. The bedrooms are aiong oue side o? the house, one adjoining the living room, the other to the back of the house. Between the two bedrooms Is fhe bathroom, which opens off a hall that connects the bedrooms. Double doors lead from the rear bedroom to the sleeping porch. Thus it will be seen that although this would be termed a five-room house, it really Is much larger. The graceful lines of this house, with the opportunity afforded for window boxes and flower beds and shrubs surrounding it, make it par ticularly attractive from the outside. This advance in bungalow design embodies the Ideas of a number of ar chitects, who have devoted much study to designing small homes. This type of home is engaging the atten tion of the leading members of the architectural profession more and more, as those who build homes now adays have learned that a little money spent for advice from experi enced and capable architects Is worth while. Compact Arrangement. The dosiign and floor plan aro recom mended for study to those who Intend to build. The more they are studied the more it will lie found that here is nn excellent design for the family that will build a home of moderate size. It is compact in arrangement, has all of what Is generally termed "the modern conveniences" and leaves Uttle to be desired In appearance. Just one word about the desirabll ltyof building this year. The cessa tion of the war has released many thousands of men skilled In the build ing trades. It also has released quan tities of materials that have been used In war work. Both materials nnd labor now -are available In abun dance, and when the things that ure needed are plentiful It Is a good time to go ahead with any plan that entulls the expenditure of money. SLANG TERM OF OLD ORIGIN Appellation "Deadhead" First Came Into Use When Dead City of Pompeii Was Flourishing, Did you ever stop and think why, If you are so fortunute as to acquire a free ticket to something you should be called a deadhead? The reason for this bit of slang dates wuy back to the diiys of the ancients. In the na tional museum In Naples there Is a ense of old theuter tickets that the Tompellaus didn't get a chance to use before their theater season was brought to such an abrupt close by the eruption of Vesuvius. They ore made In vurlous shapes, each shape showing which part of that particular ticket will admit you. You could get Into the peanut gallery only when you presented the little pigeons, and to this day that gallery Is called the pig eon loft In Ituly. Then there were little skulls modeled of ivory, and these were used only by those who were to be admitted free. Hence, "deadhead." Weird Sun Legend of Stonehenge. In times of peace 'there was always an excursion to Htonehenge on June 20 to m-ti the aun rise on the follow ing rooming, for on the 21st old Sol's first rays are supposed to strike the great altur-stone, on "Krlar's Heel." Tills, tradition tells us, used to be the signal for the sacrifice of tiumuo victims In the days that are long gone by, and It In easy, when there, to Im agine the early Druids, In their white robes, ook-crowned and wearing the mystic symbols round their necks, gathering to make their offerings to Hel, a they called the aun, and to the serpent the Heltlne fires, glowing, over the greut plain the while.

MEYER. 6 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiii? Mabel carefully placed the dishes iu the big, bright dishpan. Is further Introduction necessary? Surely the discerning will understand that Ma bel wus mistress of the house, not maid. Her gaze wandered often from her task to the view framed by the long window John had put In above the sink for this very purpose. And the view the garden kitchen garden, of course, but so attractively arranged in neat plots and so gayly bordered by nodding flowers that the eye could not help but reap joy and gratification with every casual glance the low hedya and the fruitful, John-tilled fields be yond. In Mabel's opinion, the whole view was there for only one purpose to form a fitting background for the broad-shouldered figure of John. Shirt sleeved, with arms comfortably crossed and supporting his favorite briar in one hand, he leaned against Hie gran ite gatepost and thnnght tilings ont- As If she could read through, that thick mnp of hair into his head, she knew his thoughts. She also knew they had been the same for weeks. She watched him gravely, her hands hanging idly In the cooling water. He could never solve ills problem alone. Mabel "wiped her hands rteliherntely, still gazing fixedly from the window. She felt that the moment for her to act had come. Leaving the dishes un washed in the. pan, she sped through the door, down the path and halted, panting nt John's side. She felt his gaze resting on her; but she could not lift her eyes. Staring hard at the pipe in his hand, she sought vainly for speech. The tumultuous thoughts that hud flooded her mind so recently had ebbed ns completely as If they hnd never been. At length: "John, your pipe's gone out again." "Bless me," ejaculated John, In an amused tone. "Is that what you ran all the way from the house to tell me?" Angry with herself that she shonld be so cowardly, torn by emotions she could not express, Mabel hid a tear wet face against her husband's sun burnt arm. "Out with It, girlie," he said en couragingly. Mubel raised her head and smiled Into his eyes. Then she plunged Into the very heart of her subject. "You can enlist, Johu." Her husband's face expressed min gled emotions. He slowly shook his head. "You know as well as I do that my duty is here on the farm since I can find no one to take ever the manage ment. I can't lenve and allow my crops to waste In the fields. What Is the use of rehashing these arguments? I've gone over them a thousand times every day." "I have a secret," commenced Ma bel abruptly. "Last year when I vis ited Delia, we both took the summer course In farming. Naturally, John " her eyes twinkled "I don't know ;ulte ns much as you ; hut I have been all ears and eyes ever since I returned. Iluven't you noticed how many ques tions I've asked?" John did not reply. He stood look ing over her head far off toward the eastern horlion. Mubel felt a catch In her throat, bnt went bravely on. "I know all about fnrm accounting, and testing seed and and every thing," she concluded comprehensively. "Itrslly. John, dear, I studied awfully hard, and I've been at It ever since. I shall never again want to leave the farm to live In a city. Why, every time 1 turn round outdoors now I lesra something new. I think If farmers wives would all hire women to do their housework, and only had to think of menls to est them, they could be so contented, and would feel so prnfe slonal and grow so healthy working with their huabsnils out In find's frifh ii I r. I have grown to love outdoor In such a wonderful seeing wny that Miliiftlim-s I rnn't stnnil the tboiiKlit of a roof over my hesd."
