' As far as known there Is only one thing In the world on n't be run down that' a rumor. Olrls nre delicate vessels, which re qtilro a small fortune every season' to "keep them in sails. Ves, the world advances. Literary critics no longer describe the new nov els as "gripping." Walking would be n cheap and hene i flclnl exercise but for the Increasing price of shoes. Soon (here will he enough French brides In this country to keep them from getting lonesome. Recklessly driven automobiles con tinue to prove their right to be classi fied as deadly weapons. What tho very young man doesn't know he thinks he knows, and it nn ewvrs the same purpose. True to his low-down nature, the army worm kept In hiding until he could tackle $2.20 wheat. The "parlor holshevlsts" arc Just another class of persons who should bo doing something useful. American girls can get husbands without waiting for n war to bring foreign soldiers to their homes. Luxury taxes nre collected on things whose quality prevents them from be ing strictly classified as luxuries. If you would establish record as a prophet, you might begin "predicting" raises In the prices of various things. It Is said that contentment Is bet ter than riches but most people nre willing to take chances with the riches. Uncle Sam Is willing to lend Eu ropti money to put It on Its feet, which Is better Uinn having Europe on hie hands. Not having been all shot to pieces, America continues to ha more attrac tive to tourists this summer than Is Europe. The Omslt government Is ns easy to pronounce ns any Russian name, and It's much easier to remember the spelling. A small part of the energy that goes Into evading the liquor laws would settle many labor problems If other wise directed. It ecorcely would pay a man to give up a regular Jib to serve In any thing so transitory as a Portuguese cublnet appointment. All that Bolshevism In Russia lacks of being a success Is something for the people to cat, something to wear, und something to do. Nntnrnllsts have produced a pure white rat with black eyes, and It l spoken of, for some reason or other) as an achievement. No description of an airship flight offers any suggestion of competition with the old steamboat as s menus of summer excursion travel. Maybe the army worm Isn't Hie army worm, any more than the cicada Is grasshopper, but It Is largely B academic question to the muu whose crop Is eaten up. T"ow with the North pole and the South pole mapped and the airs above the Atlantic charted by an airplane in flight, it looks as If Mars had uetUr be sprucing up tuf visitors. OWN YOUR OWN HOME V XIIAT Joy it would bo to Imve a home all your own, built as a home v should be built, arranged as you've always wanted your house, every thing ordered as you want it, when you want it your own yard, and a cot tage garden! Theresa nothing like owning a home to make a man realize that he's a sub stantial citizen, or to give people the confidence in him ho deserves. Vou can't measure the value of owning our own home on a dollar and conta t.asis alone and yet with rents still on the increase and the price of build ing stabilized, probably for years to come, home building and home owning never was a better investment. Just add to that the eatisfaction and contentment for your wife, a better placo for the babies to grow up, a more '.'livable" environment . A mtc investment? Your hotl& and lot are flis safe as a bond, There is an. unprecedented market now fr improved property yon can "cash in aft once if you wthli.

Repair Now FRLE PLAN BOOKS showing Homes with latest TO you hesitate because you think - prices are too high and you'll wait for them to drop? You're mak ing a mistake, for prices must stay at a higfi level fon years. Consider the facts. There's, a. tremen dous market in Europe and here at home for everything we can make the fundamental law of supply and de mand must work. We have an unpre cedented amount of gold in the coun try, and when there is more money in circulation and no great increase in production, we simply pass more gold around for our goods. We have high prices in figures but not in reality, for if wages are higher and goods are higher, the balance remains the same. So long as the gold stays here, prices will hold up. In short, business men say unreservedly that if prices do go down at all, it will be very, very slow ly. In the meantime, rents are higher and you pay relatively more to live as great proportion as though you built your rome at present figures. urge you to build because you will not only help yourself, but you will help relieve the housing situ ation in our city. If this city is to prosper, we must have places to live. The home that you Build will add per manent value, add to the wealth and prosperity of the entire city, give, us opportunity to expand. And if we can make you realize that it is to your advantage to build now, you will help start the wheels of in dustry. You will put men to work producing the $7,500 you spend will call for materials and supplies. The overnment asks you to build now to give returning soldiers work in factor ies and trades. In short, you'll not only help yourself but you'll help this community, the nation, and society as a whole. We would be glad to talk this matter over individually with you ask the advice of business men immediately and have them confirm what we say.
