DEMAND FOR HOMES SHOW
STRENGTH OF CITY REALTY
Property values in Roseburg are on the up-grade, accord
ing to H. O. Pargeter, secretary of the Umpqua Savings and
Loan association, who bases his statement upon the reports of
the company for the past year. For the past three and a half
years, he states, property values have been showing some de
crease, but the first of this year saw them at the low point, and
since January 1, there has been a strong upward tendency.
Valium (luring the Una six
months have become Htabill.ed.

homes. Few desirable houseH are
vacant in the city at present, and
several new residences are In
course of construction. The as
sociation was forced to fake over
several residences during (he past
three yours, due to dellmiuent pay
ments, but a recent sale of two of
thene buildings, relieved the or
ganization of Its holdings with
out loss. The sales were made
isily, and several Inquiries are
mill on file showing that there In
an Increasing Interest In the pur
chase of homes.
Payments Are Better
Mr. I'argeter also reports that
payments are far better this year
than lor several years punt. Wheth
er or not this Is an Indication of
heller labor conditions, increased
wealth in (he community and
easier money he Is unable to say;
but the records show that borrowers-
who Tor several past years
have been having difficulties in
keeping up their payments on
Ioiiiis, have fully made up their
delinquents and tire now paving

MILLIONAIRE SIGNS
DRASTIC LABOR BILL
MADISON, Wis., July l.-Cov.
Waller J. Kohler, himseir a mil
lionaire manufacturer, has signed
one of the monl drastic pieces of
legislation ever advanced by la
bor. The measure known as the
"yellow dog contract bill" voids
alt contracts In which employees
agree not to join labor unions.
It also voids contracts In which
farmers agree not to become mem
bers of cooperative marketing: as
sociations. Similar measures were present
ed by the American Federation of
Labor to each of the ts legisla
tures, and were defeated In every
slate but Wisconsin.

Comfort the
Now is the time of the .year to check over that
furnace is it heating every room of your home
properly?
Remember, the heater is only a part of the comfort sys
tem. Any good heater, properly installed, will give you
all the heat you want. Temperature, really, is not the ma
jor problem in seeking home comfort. It is a combination
of temperature, humidity and ventilation. From this point
of view, and in the light of the University of Illinois re
search, it is safe to say that the only real comfort system
known today is the warm air system installed according
to the standard code.
Have us to check over your furnace, and if it does not
come up to the standard code, we can make the necessary
changes at a small expense, so that it will give the amount
of comfort that you have a right to expect. ,
