The “basement buyer” who makes his purchases on a price appeal only and the “upstairs buyer” who is less influenced by price than he is by quality.Home builders, too, seem to classify in much the same manner. There are many who reckon, first costs as a determining factor in the kind of homethey wish to build. And there is an-,other large market whifch is more concerned with quality and who are convinced that quglity-construction is the best answer to the price question. •Those who'Svish to build a home of better than average durability and of pronoun;ed pleasing appearance will be immediately interested in the design shown* here. Its style is that known as the Dutch Colonial, one of the best known and most favored types of architecture in current practice. The element of economy in the square or rectangular shaped house is well known. It costs less to build a house of that general layout than of more fancifully conceived floor plans.4Stucco, or concrete, is the main w’all material. The advantages which the builder enjoys with the use of this material are, chiefly “long, life, freedom from excessive and frequently recurring repair bills, proof against moisture and proof against frost.” These features are individually important and collectively constitute an impressive case for this type of construction.

However, before the day was over every member of the party figured that Charles Adams was No. 33.They had a tine time on the banks of the Wabash. Perhaps the most amusing thing occurred at noon w'hen they were preparing to eat. The flies and chickens w*ere of a familiar nature, and it became necessary to appoint a guard to keep the hungry flock from making a mess of things.Mr. Adams is an accommodating fellow7 and immediately assumed the duties of chief. With a club in each hand he stood on guard. Charley’s legs were spread as far apart as he could get them, and a foot '(a big foot, too) w7as on each side of the spread. While his mouth wras watering and his eyes looking everywhere at once, he failed to see an old rooster help himself to a delicious piece of pie. When Charley did see, one big foot went right after that old emblem of the Democratic party and it went a little too far, for Charley immediately became overbalanced and sat down in- a huge dish of bean salad. The others went home hungry.
