which he thought was too much
money. The lot itself is worth more
than that today
This is one instance in a great many
similar ones that have come to my
notice. 1t is not always that a neigh
borhood improves SO rapidly and sub
stantially, but generally speaking,
all property in American towns ad-
vances in value
There is another very great advan-
tage in owning a home, and that is
the comfortable feeling you have of
being landed proprietor and the
fact that you are not obliged to have
your rent money ready promptly
when the month comes round You
can plant tree or a shrub or some
flower bulbs without the permission of
the landlord, you can make altera-
tons in the house when it suits your
convenience, and if the house or neigh
borhood Is not to your liking, you can
rent it and borrow the money to build
another, and the rent from the old one
will help pay for the new.
& A little house like the one illus
trated here may be made attractive
by making nice lawn and plant
ing few trees and flowers. The
lawn is most essential and at the same
time the most difficult undertaking
on the average town lot. The ground
often is not very good, it is mixed
with cellar earth and rubbish that is
not well calculated for a good seed
bed for grass. 1t is easy to put the
ground in proper shape, however. IL
the job is started from the bottom.
The ground must be plowed deep. and
thoroughly worked to get the obiec-
tionable grass roots out of it. The
condition of the soil will determine
whether to seed the first year or the
second year. If there Is no humus In
the soil it will pay to cover it thick
with coarse manure and pillow it under.
This again leads to complications in
the moisture problem. but if you have
hose attachment you can easily keen
the ground moist. The top two OK
