How Lone Woman Earning $40 Week, And Started
With Only S. Built and Paid for Beautiful Home

DIES MONIES. Ia. Sept 11.-Eight
years ago Mrs Nettie Klingebiel, OF
Des Moines, started out with lot OF
courage and one bill.
She owns her own home today and
q tract of land valued at $4,000.
Mrs. Klingebiel 10 a widow and
eight years ago was working in an
once at $40 per week. II took all she
could earn for three meals a day and
her little room. The future looked
hopeless. She wanted q nice comfy"
little home with shiny pots and pans,
q reading lamp, work basket, china
closet and white muslin curtains.
One day when the future looked un-
usually dull she made resolve. She
took i've dollars from her weeks sal
airy to q real estate man, bought a
fifty-foot lot, and made weekly pay
ments Of So until the lot was paid for.
She bought $40 worth of lumber In
the same way.
To avoid paying rent. she then had
q little shed built and lived In II until
the lot was paid for. Then she Dor
rowed $500 and put up q two-room cot
tage Soon after there was a boom
in another suburban section. She
traded her property for better lot
and borrowed $500 to build a four
room cottage.

She did much OF the work about the
little place herself After once hours
Mrs klingebiel slapped paint on her
house, or cemented the cellar floor
and the suns early rays found her
setting out trees and vines.
She toiled In the ONCE and saved
every cent. Then she managed to
get q few chickens and COW. She
made her own butter and sold It. also
chickens and milk. This money she
put away into her improvement fund
with which she made an addition to
the house, built barn. coal shed and
fences. While she was paying for her
home she never earned over $40 a
week.
Again there come q boom In another
suburban district. Mrs. Klingebiel
looked at her neat little home, and
plunged again. This trade brought her
beautiful property valued at $4,000.
She built another cory little home and
VOWS she VIII never leave II.
Anyone who wants to know what

Is Commission Government Law
Dtfectjve7

Flint, Jan. 19.-Steps will be TAX
en- by the city council to test the
constitutionality of the law under
which the city charter commission
ers were elected. III this end, City
Attorney Mcbride has been instruct
ed to take the question up with the
attorney general to arrange to have
it placed before the supreme court.
The action of the council followed
the petition of 500 persons, who
asked that the law be tested.
1t is stated that the clause in the
law, which demands that a person
must be a resident of the city for
three years before becoming a can
didate is not demanded by the state
constitution and that it's presence in
the law invalidates the act. The
charter commissioners were elected
in November and they have practi-
cally completed their work on the
new city charter. The movement to
have the law tested was started by
Socialists, who have been opposed to
the commission form of government.
The decision of the supreme
court will affect the charter COM
missions of all the cities which have
held an election under the new law.

and give him good support in passing
measures advocated by him in his mes
sage and demanded by the platform
adopted at the last Republican state

Governor Osborn issued a statement
after TIE senate had confirmed the
Warner apDcintees. In this statement
he places the responsibility OF a

by the voters in the last election,
squarely up to the senate. The gov.

"This is not time to become i'll

to be able to accomplish the impos-
sible. 1t was my hope that all of the
senators would feel their direct and

people of Michigan. irrespective of
party, desire a clean. efficient and
economical administration of state af.
fairs, and the controlling party has
pledged this. The senate has tied nv

people, confident that they will under
stand the motive and actions of those
who have reared unnecessary OBJ
stacles in my pathway. To those SEN
ators who have been true to their dele
gated responsibilities am most CRATE
full, and l am sure the public will re-
member them in keen appreciation.
