AIMUI. I, I1KI0. CROOK COtJNTT JOURNAL r C JfHsj J . PJ) bUj I jit if ' w ill 'I My Home J PEELIDENT MILLER AND Ho't pretty proud,, that friend of yours, mi ha shown you all throuRh hit now home and about the ground, Isn't lie? He lakes you through every room and shows you each corner and nook and crmmy. Ask If that cozy don of his lan't a dandy, and If tho wife's sowing room Isn't pretty fine. Shows you the kiddles' playroom and tells you It's "the best thing In the world to keep the youngsters off the streets." Ho explains that the entire house was built exactly as be and his wife had planned It that the designing and decorating were done according to their own tastes and the rooms laid out to meet their own wants and requirements. He takes you about the grounds and shows you the fenced-in yard where tho little ones can play to their hearts' content. Ha tolls you to sniff the roses In his wife's little flower garden and proudly exhibits a few feet of garden plot where he has planted some of their favorite vegetables. He's pretty happy, Isn't he? And his voice Just rings with the pride of ownership as ha smiles on It all and says "My Home!" And then you realise as never before wbot the poet meant when he wrote tho words, "Homo, Sweet Home." And as you turn to go buck to your rented bouse you're a lit tle envious of your friend, aren't you, and Just a bit oeliauied of your own Inactivity? There Is no reason In all the world why you can't bare a home of your own a home built as you've always dreamed a boms should be a home you've planned and designed and decorated which Is exactly In accordance with the wishes and needs of your family. Do you know that It does not cost any more to build than to rent? Practically the same amount of money you pay out each month for rent or even less will build you a home and entirely pay for It. Where Is the sense In paying for the privilege of living In a home when you could just as easily own that home? Build nowH Nothing can be gained by waiting. Authori ties concede that building costs today are somewhat above normal but they bIbo state that costs cannot be lowered until some future time as yet unforseeu. As against this, rents are higher today than ever before, so you are actually losing money every day you delay. For any Information you may desire on any subject pertain ing to locations, plans, materials, finishings, furnlshments, equip ments, costs, information concerning architects, contractors, etc. call at the Building Information Office. Not a thing to sell but a great deal to give away. - . - Tum-A tat f 11 m Lumber Co Designers and Materialers of Homes and Farm Buildings OliEGCN HEWS NOTES OF GENERAL INTEREST Principal Events of Hib Week Eriefly Sketched for Infc mation of Our Readers.
