talk business briefly, mingled with some
diplomacy. The monetary stress may be of
only temporary nature. which Is COM
mon complaint. or it may be Of the more
occupy stylish quarters whose cost Is out of
reasonable proportion to family income
which is also a condition too frequently met
with by the renting agent.
Then there is the honest -looking me-
chanic or salaried clerk who conscien-
tiously considers the obligation to pay for
shelter next in Importance to his daily food
supply, and believes In living within his
means He will pay promptly. too. while 1t
it within his ability to earn or borrow the
money, but through sickness or loss of en-
ployment he may quickly find himself COM
PEELED to ask for the favor Of an extension
of time on. his rent payment. Different
agents treat with delinquents Of this class
In different ways. Some give no quarter,
but demand the advance rent. and failing
to get 1t. file suit in ejectment at once,
thereby casting a stain upon the record
of one whose only fault is a temporary mis-
fortune Other agents, perhaps the ma
jority, study the circumstances, the re-
operative ability Of the tenant. grant a
reasonable extension, and generally get their
money. Only a small proportion Of the
great annual loss to owners from delinquent
tenants can be ascribed to the compare
lively poor but honest class. They try to
live within their means. Their margin Of
safety is small. It Is true, but they constitute
the real backbone Of profitable real estate
investment, and agents should be consider
ate in dealing with them.
Then, there Is the professional rent beat,
the one who finds 1t cheaper to move his
few personal belongings after, the landlord
has allowed his rent to get behind than to
pay his honest debts. He Is the one who
makes the agent lose all faith in human
nature from a rental standpoint, and feel
like he will never accept another excuse,
nothing but spot cash thirty days in ad-
vance from anybody.

OLD AGE PROVISION
ADVANTAGES OF HOME OWNERS
OVER RENT PAYERS.

Buying property. either vacant or I'M
proved, Is an easy thing IL persons would
only make up their minds to do it.
1t is surprising the amount Of rent a man
will pay If he stops long enough to figure it
out. Figure up yours. When the buyer Of
a small home begins to know how little his
property actually costs him he will wonder
why he did not take advantage Of these
facts long ago.
Many young men who marry and settle
down and begin to pay rent will be far
better Off In ten years II they begin pur-
chasing property this year than If they
continue to pay rent Many OF them do
not stop long enough in their daily work to
think of possible rainy day and years of
cid age. but go OH Spending the fruit Of
their toll until the time comes when they
have to step down and make room for the
young men of the future. Then comes the
old, old question. They are not prepared
for emergency of this kind and they
wish that they lad bought when they were
young, and have home Of their own when
the time for acquiring it is passed
There are thousands Of examples of this
kind where no provision for a home Is
made when there Is ample time and oppor-
tunity to do so. and when the home in the
long run, would have cost no more than
paying rent. The sooner one begins the
better

early in life to buy, and when they finished

REALTY FOR CHILDREN.
How to Aid Them Practice Thrift and
Ecouomy

Get your children in the habit of saw
ing says a writer IF they learn to save
while young it will stay with them through
life, and when old age comes they will have
something ahead.
"A good way to teach them to save is to
have a definite object to save for. There
must be an incentive to save. Buy a cheap
piece of property for them and help them
to pay for it on the installment plan: Let
them understand that it is their own indi-
vdual property and they must strive to
and save every penny to meet their obliga-
ton and will also point with pride to their
property. Do not get them to think this
property belongs to them and then when it
Is about paid for sell it and pocket the
proceeds. That is not right or just to any
child.
when a child you may have had some
other animal. and was told that If you
took care of it you could have it for your
own. You worked early and late and took
great pride in it, When old enough your
parents sold it, using your money and Civ
ing you promises. 1t broke your childish
heart to part with your pet and then never
receive anything for 1t. When anything
else was offered you. you felt there was no
USE it would be taken from you.
Don't do this with your children. Give
them something for their own and let them
work for it, and let them also have the full
increase on it. Help them to plan to make
money and handle it judiciously. 1t teaches
the mind when young to look for bargains,
and when they are older this knowledge
will be of great benefit to them. Later in
life they will look back and thank you for
the help and just treatment"
