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.

County Courts May Retail Lime.
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.

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

war financing organizations of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve district have
just been consolidated by Governor
John U. Calkins of the San Francisco

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.
