Valuables are Not
Safe in Your House

When a tramp appears at your back

times sizing up the house and its
inmates, planning a robbery.
He will not stop at theft. Often
he murders.
Can you afford to run the risk of
tempting him?
Money around the house is a de-
cided temptation, a stimulus to crime

LYNCHBURG. Va. September 2-E,x-
cepting bottom land crops the drouth in
this section has practically ruined the
corn crop. and the yield in many places
will be practically nothing. Much tobacco
has burned in the field, but early rains
would be Of benefit to late planting. and
might make half q crop. Pastures have
been ruined, and some sections near
Lynchburg report the water supply in
small streams is diminishing rapidly.
Generally. in the counties contiguous
to Lynchburg the rain has been very
slight for six weeks. though a few small
sections have been seasonable. AS a
whole the farmers. having lost their
wheat crop. will have meager re-
turns from corn. with little prospect for
half a tobacco crop. All are anxious over
the situation.

Another
Reason Why
You Should Own a.
High View
Home

M ONEY invested in a
w home is protection
against the day of ad-
versity. And money in
vested in a High View
home will make returns far
in excess of the expenditure.
To the satisfaction of
ownership is attached that
of the knowledge that in this
section home values are and
will be on the increase. This
is due largely to the fact that
High View" homes were
designed primarily for those
who longed to own their
home, but who could not af-
ford a great outlay of money.
Wherever you find the resi-
dents owing the homes in
which they live. there you
will see quiet neighbor-
hood, one that is always sub
stantial.
Just consider the small
sum necessary to put you in
possession of a High View
home-S2oo cash and only
S2o.o2 a month. Complete
sum, $1,000.
