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.

Owning a home Is the inherent de
sire of every head of a family. 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.

HER SACRIFICE
By PEARL B. MEYER.

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."
As al,e talked, John's luiiidM were
