ATM ELY TIP X C 0 L U M A B I A T R U s T C 0 M P A, N Y THIS IS WORTH READING,' SO TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND READ EVERY WORD OF IT You read the newspapers therefore you already know of the coming of Swift & Co. to the Peninsula of Portland. You probably do not realize what 1t really means We will tell you. It means, the building of a city, of from 15,000 to 25,000 people on and around their townsite, known c as Kenton. Fifteen to twenty-five thousand people means big prices for real estate in that locality. SWINTON is lo cated right in the heart of it. You should be able to figure from the .bove what lots will be worth in SWINTON in a couple of years from now. If you are wise you will buy just as many lots in SWINTON as you can carry. There are several rea sons for not delaying, the best of which is that -in a couple more weeks there will be no lots left to buy. Then you will be sore at yourself because you didn't take this tip. , ' The first plat of SWINTON contained a little over 600 lots, and was put on the market about eight . weeks ago. It was sold out in six weeks. About two weeks ago we opened a second tract of SWINTON containing 400 lots, and less than half of them now remain unsold. See how they are going? The reason is that some of the best investors in Portland have visited SWINTON and readily see what a gold en opportunity it is, nd in many cases have bought, whole blocks. The prices in SWINTON are lower than any other property in that locality, tak ing everything into consideration. We have cleaned all the brush off the lots, the streets are being graded, Bull Run water is being piped to each lot, and all being paid for by this company. You have none of it to pay for. Last, but not least. SWttK Is the Only Restricted Tract in That Whole Locality " - . " . ' It having a $1500"T)uiIding restriction, therefore will contain the cream of the popu lation of this new town being created by Swift. There wiU be no shacks in SWIN TON, which means a big increase in values. . , SPECIAL DISCOUNT .J For a short time we are offering a 10 per cent discount off the purchase price of lots In .SWINTON, owing to the fact that we have not been able to improve it as fast as we are selling it. An extra 5 per cent discount will be given if you wish to pay cash. Terms 10 per cent down and 2 per cent a month if you rather, which gives you a chance to speculate with our money. Do you ever expect to get a bet ter opportunity to make easy money?

AHTI-FLIRTS STIR GLASGOW ST0DE1ITS Boys and Girls Up in Arms .Over "Moral Vigilance" , : of New Censor. :' (Hearst Nw bjr IxmrMt teased Wire.) London, Deo. 5. The students of Glasgow university both boys and girls Mtre tip In arms against an antl fllrting campaign . waged against them by "prudes on the' prowl." The solemn senate of the university has been pained tot- observe that when students of opposite sexes meet their discourse is . not always, confined to mathematical problems, scientific the ories, or the aphorisms of Plato. A censor of morals has. therefore, been appointed the sternest, most mature and most forbidding of lady lecturers. So effective was her "moral" vigi lance that for days - none of the boys dare 940 speak to a girl student on the university grounds. At all the universities In the United Kingdom women are now admitted to practically all the lectures which are at tended by the men. but there has never been any need of a specially appointed censor to keep Watch and ward over their dally Intercourse with each other. At Oxford and Cambridge the lady undergraduates from Somerville. Lady Margaret, Glrton, Newnham. or the other ladies' colleges are almost invari ably accompanied by a chaperon, who keeps a watchful eye on her pupils dur ing the lectures. But at the non-residential universities the women have hitherto been regarded as quite able to take care of "themselves. "There have been occasional harmless flirtations. I admit." said a woman stu dent at University college, London, "but on the whole the men and women look upon each other merely as good pals. If they are friendly at all. "Under present circumstances. I know of no case in which any girl has had to be taken to task for flirting, say, with the men students, and I do know of many firm friendships, and at least two marriages, which have resulted from our coeducation system."

Main 6681 and A-1J18. . , - jga THESE ARE THE FACTS ABOUT BASE LINE ACRES INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT A SUBURBAN HOME WITHIN THIRTY FIVE MINUTES FROM THE RETAIL DISTRICT THE PLACE FOR YOU TO LIVE BASE LINE ACRES is just-cast of Mount Tabor, on the Base Line road, nine miles from the courthouse. This is the finest good road in the state. BASE LINE ACRES is crossed, east and west, by the Mount Hood Railway, which will be running its cars through to the city within six months. Thi will bring the property within 35 minutes of the retail district. This road is already constructed almost to the east line of BASE LINE ACRES, and the work is progressing rapidly By the time the line is in. operation, it will be utterly impossible to; tmy BASE LINE ACRES at any where near the present low prices. Churches, schools, stores and all necessary improvements are present. Many a man has sought long and anxiously for a small tract of land where he could build a home, cultivate a garden and fruit trees, keep a cow and horse and still partake of the advantages of city life. It is fortunate that this company was able to select so delightful a piece of land, with such splen did soil, for platting into suburban home property. BASE LINE ACRES is not a high priced piece of acreage, similar to many others that have been put on the market as a job lot proposition. It was " carefully selected with the suburban idea in mind. It is just such a location as any business man would willingly recommend to any close friend. It is a place eminently suitable for fine homes. In spite of all its many excellent features, BASE .LINE ACRES is for sale at ridiculously low prices. In fact, the prices are so low ranging from $225 to $350 per acre that a couple or three acres may i be purchased for a great deal less than a couple or three lots- 50x100 feet within the city limits. Unusually easy . terms will be arranged and a very small first payment accepted. It is a very conservative statement to make when we say that BASE LINE ACRES will be selling for double present prices within six months. We know that the present prices will not last longer than three months more. We suggest that you satisfy yourself of the truthfulness of our statements and call at the of fice. We will take you out to the property in our automobile, show it to you and know that you will be impressed with it. Have you read our unique little folder, "THE MAN OF TOMORROW"? Call at the office any day and we will be glad to give you one. All we ask you to remember is that BASE LINE ACRES is a great deal more inter esting than you think. E. B.
