THE OPEN DOOR.
What the Y. NJ. G. A. Means to Young
Men I'm a Strange Town or City.


one never feels so lonesome as when
he Is in large city without acquaint-
ances and friends. The South and
the West are proverbially hospitable.
But as we go into the more densely
settled portions of our country, open
handed hospitality to the stranger be-
comes rarer.
The more closely our fellowmen
crowd our elbows, the less social do
we become.
The young man away from home
probably FOR the first time in the town
or city with no friends, is not only
lonesome and home-sick but very sus-
sceptible TO temptation to go wrong.
The door Of evil swings open easily TO
MS touch. though the doors to the
good are largely closed. The Young
Mems Christian Association is an ever
open door Of good influence for the
young man. stranger or not though he
may be. With its attractive social lob
by-its innocent games and it's warm
atmosphere of good fellowship, it is
ever strong factor for good in any
community.
The religious work Of the Associa-
ton is non-scctarian-viril and sane
and appeals to the natural religious
ness of men.
Last year 1900 men served in COM
mittecs i'm charge of this phase Of the
work. while $4,000 attended Bible
classes.
The Association leaders have been
almost entirely responsible for the
great recent mission ana church
movements Of men.
Sumter should have a Young Mems
Christian Association to help her boys
and mon realize their highest ideals
cf manhood.

six and seven rooms. modernly equipped

In comfortable circumstances would be
proud TO live in,
Some OF the purchasers OF lots In
Highland Park have already decided TO
build homes much more pretentious
than these. They wish homes rather
out Of the ordinary, and can afford them.
The structures being erected by the
building company are we'll above the
minimum building restrictions OF the
tract in cost. But those restrictions
from $1,000 TO $4,000, according to loca-
tion-are sufficiently high TO assure the
purchaser that he will have no cheap"

Park.
The building company is using only In
side lots. The choice corner lots and
are left available to the public. Many
have already been taken. There are
some left OF these more choice locations
But 1t Is largely matter of taste and

are right,
You don t have to be rich to invest
in Highland Park real estate.
The opportunity viii not always be
afforded at present prices. Kimball &
Richards say that conditions will not
warrant their keeping the lots on sale
at such a low figure much longer

stroy land. nor thieves steal it,
When the land is in a rapidly growing
city, the purchaser. unless he is un.
wise, is always reasonably certain OF
getting moro for the property than he
paid for It, How much more, depends
on his ability TO select and pure chasc
land In that part Of the city which is
growing most rapidly.
So far as regards residence property
IN Salt Lake City, the answer is easy.
1t IS towards the southeast and the
bench lands. that the city is growing
most rapidly. The building inspector g
records show it, That 52-mle contract

East street is being paved from South
Temple to the city limits. Other pub.

going on there. Tho home builder and
