GOOD BILL at TKe Royal TONIGHT MELVIX ntid O'NEILL Presenting THE RACE TRACK TOUTS introducing Harmony, Singing and Coon Shouting. ELKS' CONVENTION. t Superb Entertainment for 10 Cents A month ago our homo was n rented Iioiibo on n down-town stroot. I nm employed on a modest salary. My family )s largo, five chlldron, my wlfo nnd myself, nnd whon each month's bills woro paid thoro romnlned llttlo or nothing for a suvlngs fuud. I realized that nny mlsfortuuo Hint might ovcrtnko us, slckuoss or enforced Idleness, would placo us In a bad predicament. I know thnt rent enmo duo ovoiy month and had to bo paid promptly. Also I folt thnt my other living expenses ought to bo mot from each month's earnings; merchants do some times mnko exceptions, hut ordinarily It Is not consldoiod good business to extend credit to routers. I studied my co,so carofully and dotormlned on quick and ef fectlvo action. I dccldod at ono stroko to stop paylug rent and to bocomo u property-ownor. Itont was nn unnecessary Item In my list of oxponses, nnd as a property-ownor I would bo en titled to consideration for credit when I neoded credit. My schomo briefly wns to ouy a lot on tho Installment plan, got lumbor with tho llttlo cnsl. I had, and build a house sultnblo for my family. First I Investigated lot vnlues In Marshfield. I found n groat dlfforonco In prices of building lots. Full-slzod lotB, GO foot wldo. 1 could buy from $:i00 In 1500 each. As nil of these, lots I priced wero Inside a radius of ono mile from tho centor of Mnrshflold nnd any ono of them wns adapted to my uso. of course I decided to buy whoro tho prices woro lowest. In First Addition to Mnrshflold 1 located a lino level lot commanding a view of the city. Thoro woro a fow trees on It and In every way I considered It attractive for n building slto. It faced on a CO foot streot which Is bolng grndod without expenso to mo. I hunted up tho ownors of this addition, tho Reynolds De velopment Company, and learnod I could securo the particular lot 1 wlshqd by paying ?25 down and paying $10 monthly (less thnn my ront amounted to). H wns oasy for us to strlko a bar gain. Thon I bought my lumber, a bill of about ?1D0. I had the good fortuuo to pick up n snap-buy In tho shnpo of a barn for $10, which I toro down nnd obtnlned from It heavy timbers for my house, bosldos lumbor for all nocessnry out-houses. My omployor conBontod to my taking several days' leave from work and I proceedod with tho building. In olgbt days I had tho houso framed and undor roof. Most of tho -work I did my solf, employing n helper for only two dnys. As a result of my labor, wo bavo a houso about 10 feet by 30 feet, two stories high, containing four rooms. It Is built woll of flrst-clas3 ma terial, and It Is so located on our lot thnn I can later add an "L" to the front of It. I fenced In tho lot In a temporary mnunor wltn supllnga from tho homo-lot. Tho ground nt tho roar of the house I havo commenced to oloar, and hero I havo planted our garden. I transplanted tho strawberry plants from tho rontod plnco we previously occupied nnd not a plant wilted. Evidently the soil is ns rich as It looks. N Now to bnlanco accounts, our former condition against our present state of nffnlrs; wo aro living In more comfort than wo did on tho down-town street, tho children are safer, happier and healthier. My wlfo and I aro enjoying tho change too, for are wo not saving rent and getting a homo? In a few years wo will havo the homo paid for, and they nro years wo look Into with plousuro. with tho anticipation of accomplishment. Thoy are years full of days whon we can be improving nud benutlfylng our pwn homo. As soon as I can see my wy clear I Intend to get tho ad joining lot, for I hellove real estate values on Coos Day are sure to Increase You havo my story, not particularly thrilling but highly In teresting to families who yrant to get away from tho rent habit.
