Own otar llwii it WHAT joy it would be to have a home all your own, built as a home should be built, arranged aa 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! There'B 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 be deserves. You can't measure the value of owning your own home on a dollar and cents basis 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 satisfaction and contentment for your wife, a better place for the babies to grow up, a more "livable" environment. A safe investment? Your house and lot are as safe as a bond. There is an unprecedented market now for improved property you can "cash in" at once if you wish. Five years hence, even though building prices slowly set tle to a lower level, the tremendous building activity that must come In the meantime will give your investment a substantial increase In value. Prices will hold steady for years! You'll surely build some day and you'll never find a more opportune time than now. DO you hesitate because you think prices are too high and you'll wait for them to drop? You're making a mistake, for prices must stay at a high level for years. Consider the facts. There's a tremen dous market in Europe and here a) home for everything we can make the fundamental law of supply and demand must work. We have an un precedented amount of gold in the country, and where there is more money in circulation and no great in crease in production, we simply pas? 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 slowly. In the meantime, rents are higher and you pay rela tively more to live as great propor tion as though you built your home at present figures. WE urge you to build because you will not only help yourself, but you will help relieve the housing sit uation in our city. If this city is to rosper, 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 ipportunlty to expand. 4nd if we can make you realize that It is to your advantage to build now, vou will help start the wheels of in dustry. You will put men to work )roducing the $7,600 you spend will "all for materials and supplies. The lovernment asks you to build now to give returning soldiers work in fac tories and trades. In short, you'll not only help yourself but you'll help 'his community, the nation, and so ciety 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.

Ground limestone may be supplied by the county courts of Oregon to farmers at cost. Procedure is ex plained in chapter 118, session laws 1919 as follows: On petition of 50 or more farm owners of the county the court must order at least one car lot 30 tons from the state plant at Gold Hill. The lime will be stored in a suitable place and sold to farmers for cash sufficient to cover all costs. These costs are $2.50 per ton in car lots at the plant, freight charges of $2.00 per ton to Salem other points In proportion and handling and storage unless pro vision is made to have the car unload ed by the farmers into their own wagons. If stored the cost to the farmer will be about $5.00 per ton to Salem and other points a like distance from Gold Hill. The advantages of this plan are that farmers can get lime In less than the minimum car lot from the plant, and having it stored can reduce the cost of hauling home by taking back a load of lime with them whenever they haul a load of farm produce to market. The law mentions the fact that the plant must be kept running full ca pacity in order to produce ground limestone at lowest cost. This plan of distribution will thus help keep cost down and also supply lime in quantities suited to the farmers' needs. All orders should be addressed to Dr. A. B. Cordley, secretary of the State Lime Board, Corvallls. Outing time is here, with its in-, latent call to hikers, campers, and ishermen. The mountain trails ln lte recreatlonists to the myste'rlous forest depths where the hand of man has not yet interfered with Nature's: domestic economy. Verdant and val-1 uable, the National Forests of 0r9- gon and Washington charm alike the j practical person and the aesthetic. With the outing time, comes also the fire season with its insidious men ace to everything that makes the Forest valuable and attractive.' Pleasure seekers by thousands will islt the Forests of the North Paci'.lo District this year for recreation and health. They will bring back to the ; daily routine of office and mart some of the strength of the hills. They will for the most part be careful in their use of fire In the woods and will leave their favorite camp grounds and the regions about green and at tractive as they found them. A few tourists through ignorance, carelessness, or maliciousness will cause fires that may destroy 'the beauty and value of the forests which they have enjoyed. This class of vis itors is not popular either with other tourists or with the Forest officers whose duty is to protect the forests from damage. A special effort will be made to apprehend all of these careless users of the forest, show them the error of their way, and make the lesson emphatic by a good stiff penalty. When you leave the crowded city for the free lite of a tramp, And go out In the mountains to fifish or hunt or camp, Be careful with your campfire, your cigarette and pipe A forest fire starts easy when every thing Is ripe. Your Uncle Sam has watchmen who are stationed all about And a fire guard will get you, it you don't watch out. Twelfth Federal Reserve Or ganizations Are Consolidated R. J. REYNOLDS T03ACCO COMPANY, Wiaston-Salora, N. C Walter Kilcup, local sheepman, left Heppner Tuesday for Thompson Falls, Montana, where he goes to look after his sheep on summer range. Re ports have reached Heppner that much of the Thompson Falls country Is menaced at the present time by forest fires and several local sheep men are alarmed, as a result, as they have several thousand sheep In that particular section. Big Gasoline Consumption. Some idea of tho enormous amount of gasoline consumed in the operation of motor vehicles and other activities in Oregon may be obtained from the report of Sam Kozer, deputy secretary of state, which shows that if all this product, together with tho distillate, used between February 26 and June 30, 1919, amounting to 13,315.188 gallons, was placed In one container It would require a tank 200 feet in diameter and 67 feet high. The tank would cover an ordinary city block In Portland. If placed in regu lar 10,000-gallon capacity railroad San Francisco, July 28. All the war financing organizations of the Twelfth Federal Reserve district have just been consolidated by Governor John U. Calkins of the San Francisco Federal Reserve bank Into the War Loan organization of the Twelfth Federal Reserve district with Robei E. Smith, president of the Title and Trust Company of Portland, as di rector and C. A. Farnsworth, Twelfth District Liberty Loan Publicity Man ager as associate director. The War Loan organization will direct the closing up of the business of the Liberty Loan organizations and also look after the sales of cer tificates of indebtedness and War Savings certificates and stamps. Par ticular attention will be given to the sale of the new Treasury Savings Cer tificates just issued by the U. S. Treasury Department. They are In denominations of $100 and $1000 and the interest is compounded quarterly as with the War Savings stamps. Director Smith made a spectacular distribution of the Treasury Savings Certificates throughout the Twelfth District. On receipt of the first mil lion dollars worth of the new secur ities in San Francisco by Governor Calkins he turned them over to Smith for dispatch to the directors in the several states and territories in the district. Hurrying from the Federal Re serve Bank by auto and ferry to the aeroplane .field back of Berkeley Smith hopped into the passenger's seat in a big De Haviland bomber from Mather Field, Sacramento, with Lieutenant E. E. Neubig as pilot. A record-breaking flight was made to Portland. From there Smith raced down the Willamette and Columbia rivers to Kalama in the motor boat Vogler Boy and then proceeded by auto to Seattle in time to hand a bun dle of the Treasury Savings Certifi cates to the captain of a fast mail steamer about to sail for Alaska. Di rector Smith believes In putting speed into the distribution and sale of gov ernment securities in the Twelfth district. Prairie City Visitor Here.
