Buff.lo News.
The Wholesale Merchants' Asso
ciation of the Chamber of Com
merce and .Manufacturers' Club
today announced the details of its j
big trade excursion which will i
start from Buffalo Tuesday, April i
26th, for a four-day boost
ing mission. A train of eight or
more Pullman cars, a party of 100
representative business men to '2- r >
cities and towns of Western New-
York and Pennsylvania. A com
bined capital of nearly $100,000,-
000 will be represented on the ex
cursion.
The route as shown by the ac
companing cut will take the trade
boosters to Dunkirk, Westfield, 1
Ripley. North East, Erie, Water
ford,Union City, Corry, Cam- j
bridge Springs, Meadville, Cocli
ranton, Franklin, Oil City, Titus
ville, Warren, Sheffield, Kane,
Johnsonburg, Ridgway, St. Marys.
Emporium, Port Allegany, Eldred,
Portville and Olean.
The object of the Association is to
cultivate the wholesale trade and
territory naturally contributory to
Buffalo and thus make the city as
important a jobbing center as Chi
cago is in the Middle West, or St.
Louis in the South-west. This
first excursion is intended to give
the executive heads of the large
wholesale houses an opportunity
to meet personally their customers
throughout this part of the coun
try.
The preparations are elaborate.
One hundred and seventy-five thou
sand dollars will not cover
of train equipment. It will be
composed of dining car, compart
ment cars, sleepers and observa
tion coach, each in charge of an
appointed officer who will enforce
strict rules on the excursionists.
The train will be equipped with
office facilities for use of officers
and members, and a small" press
will issue daily reports of occurren
ces in towns last visited as well as
describing the main points of in
terest about places yet to be seen.
Several years have elapsed since
Buffalo has sent out a trade ex
cursion. The last one was signal
ly effective and proved that an ex
pedition like the one now in hand
can accomplish wonders for the
commercial interests.
The most remarkable feature of
the excursion is the men compos
ing it. All the firms participat
ing will have one or more princi
pals on board. The proprietory
heads are going.
The publicity committee of the
association has prepared much ad
vertising for distribution on the
trip and booklets of facts about the
advantages Buffalo possesses as a
jobbing center will be sent to busi
ness men of the various towns to
be visited. Appointments will be
made with them in advance.
IHe officers of the association
say this is only the beginning of a
plan to stimulate the entire com
mercial interests of the city and
they expect that it will have a far
reaching and pronounced effect.
Mr. R. Kuehne, our energetic
Fourth street merchant, has been
in correspondence with the Buffalo
Association and has caused to be
' prepared important data relative
to Emporium and vicinity, hoping
thereby to interest some of the
live Buffalo capitalist in our nu
merous natural advantages. We
would suggest that our Board of
Trade wake up, shake off the dust
and get in touch with live business
«nen, when Buffalo capitalists
make us a visit.
Craftsman Homes
Simplicity as Seen In the Pioneer House and the
Twentieth Century Bungalow.
"The bungalow of today is a building that meets the highly civi
lized needs of the modern family, and yet how simple it ts compared
to any previous form of country architecture." ,
By GUSTAV STICKLEY.
A YOUNG mun came with his bride to consult a friend of mine in the
matter of building a house. "Miss Schmidt wants a house like this,"
said the young man, displaying a picture of an elaborate frame house
covered with fancy shingles, bulging with towers and balconies, the
type of architecture that had a brief but extensive vogue twenty years ago.
Then, turning to his bride, he said: "Mr. Jones says that people of refine
ment do not build houses like this any more."
"Perhaps they don't now," answered the girl, looking proudly at the pic
ture in her fiance's hand, "but the Muellers have one, and 1 have always
wanted a house like this."
The house that she wanted was of that period of self conscious effort to
produce something artistic in the line of house building. This stage is present
in the development of any art and inevitably follows a period where beauty
lias been produced unconsciously and therefore unappreciated. It inevitably
is followed by a third period of beauty consciously produced, the products of
which show the spirit of the first period, finding a more complete expression
because of the power that has been gained over the means of expression during
the self conscious struggle for beauty.
For example, of the Craftsman houses I am now building the one which I
think will attract the most attention is a bungalow built of logs. It has the
rugged structural features of the pioneer house, but, of course, with modern
conveniences added. Who twenty years ago would have thought of building
a log house except for a child's plaything or for a rough camp?
It is chiefly because we are slowly being educated to an appreciation of the
beauty which we had unconsciously produced and which for that reason we did
not consider beauty. Necessity made flic pioneer embody in his house many
of the fundamental principles of good architecture.
But as time passed and the necessities ceased to be so impressive men
came to look at their houses as symbols of a man's prosperity and power
rather than as protections, and they set about beautifying them. They tried
to make artistic structures that reflected credit chiefly on the owner's purse
and the architect's knowledge of foreign building. Fortunately this type of
house soon demonstrated its drawbacks.
While we were struggling under the general conditions that allowed such
a form of architecture even for awhile the cry for the simple life arose. This
made vis think, and we were aided in reaching our conclusions by the develop
ment, of the interurban trolley and the automobile, which took us into sur
roundings where at least a simpler life was possible. Here, our appetite ready
for country pleasures, we found no architecture that satisfied our ideal.
We had to think for ourselves, and, with no precedent to blind us, we
asked ourselves for the first time just what kind of a house would really sat
isfy us. We intended to get the most of the country that we could. A part of
our reason forgoing there was to have life easier and more natural, and we
tried to build a house that should help to make it so, that should bring the out
doors within our walls. Wo have done this, and the moment that we began
to build for our real needs, to work out the influence that our surroundings
exercised upon us. we returned to the fundamental principles in home building
and again produced simple and artistic houses, but with tiiis difference, that
these structures have the simplicity of knowledge, while those of the previous
days had the simplicity of inexperience. We have added the convt iences nec
essary to modern life without destroying the harmonious character of the
house. Thi' bungalow of today, for example, is a building that meets the
highly civilized needs of the modern family, and yet how simple it is compared
to any previous form of country architecture.
To illustrate this let us examine the drawing and plans for the bungalow
offered ns the fourth in the series of Craftsman house plans which I am con
tributing each week to this paper to be at the entire service of the reader.
In this house we have an unpretentious but durable and attractive little huild
mi
FIRST FLOOR FLAN
ing which is fitted for any situation where a detached house can be built. It
is low and broad in general shape and for that reason might stand in a level
field or, as suggested In the picture, upon a hillside.
The foundation and chimney are of spilt stone or of cement. The house is
corered with hand split shingles, the roof with a rough slate finished with a
ridge of tile. All of these materials have a rugged texture which imparts a
look of durability and strength to the house. The windows are arranged in
groups to admit the greatest amount of light and air and are casements, with
the exception of one or two double windows that give variety and grace to
the groups. The twin porches are floored with cement so that they are easily
kept clean by use of the hose and make a pleasant variation from the usual
long porch. The further advantages of the arrangement may be seen in the
floor plans.
A long living room runs through the center of the house, the rear wall
containing two French doors leading out upon a pergola porch, and the front
wall between the twro little porches is almost entirely windows with a low
seat and boobcases built In belnw. B"rom each porch a French door lead* Into
the room, so that this end of it is practically a continuation of the porches, but
sheltered slightly from the air. Thus one can be 1B the bouse and yet easllj
talk" to the people on etther potch. The kitchen opens directly upon one <>r
these, which will make It cool and airy In summer. Behind this Is the
laundry. On the other side of the living hall are t«ro bedrooms and a bath
One end of the living room is used as the dining room: but. If desired, the
kitchen might occupy the position of the laundry and what is now the liltcluMi
be used as a dining room. On the second story a big sleeping balcony occu
pies the center of the space, protected by two dormer roofs on either side of
the ridge. An attic opens from each side of the balcony, which may be left
rough and fitted with bunk* and hammocks as a sort of barracks or finished
more conventionally. The bouse throughout lacks no neeessary convenient
and yet is as simple aDd open an the taou*«> of the early pioneer.
CAMERON COINTY J'KHSS, THI RSDAY, APRIL 14 KJIO.
Central Literary Society.
A very Bticces-sful literary society
came to a close, last Friday eve
ning, April 8, 1910. This society
was held in the school house at
Sinnamahoning, Pa., every two
weeks, on Friday evenings. It
has been in existence since before
Christmas. Some excellent pro
grains were rendered, consisting
of songs, hymns, solos, orchestra
music, orations, recitations, dia
logues, public addresses and debat
ing. A paper termed "Central
Gazette," was published in addi
tion to the debates and read at
every meeting. Large audiences
assembled to hear the talks and
music, thus encouraging those still
more, who had taken part. Every
body is well pleased with the work
that was accomplished and say
that it was not in vain, but that
much educational benefit has been
derived from it.
Some of the questions which
were discussed during the winter
are:
"Resolved, That United States
Senators should be elected by di
rect vote of the people."
"Resolved, That women should
have the right of Suffrage."
"Resolved, That Immigration
should cease."
"Resolved, That Country Life
is preferable to City life."
"Resolved, That Man has con
tributed more toward the advance
ment of Civilization than Woman."
A spelling match was held one
evening instead of the debate. Sev
eral school teachers started the so
ciety and the parents and many
others, beside the pupils, took an
active part. The co-operation of
all, helped bring about its success.
We extend thanks to all who par
ticipated in the movement.

my back and soreness of my kidneys. My
appetite was very poor and my general
condition was much run down. I have
beeu taking Foley's Kidney Pills but a
short time and now sleep as sound as a
roek. 1 eat and enjoy my meals, and
general condition is greatly improved. 1
can honestly recommend Foley's Kidney
Pills as I know they have cured me."

One Conductor Who Was Cured.

he writes about it.—Some time ago I was

tism. I used two bottles of Foley's Kid-

third bottle put me on my feet and I re
sumed work as conductor on the Lexing
