A. d.. Grinrod, a garbage
man in Shenandoah, Iowa, a
former clown in a circus, has
bought and paid for a small
home in four years and made
numerous improvements n
that time. His payments each
month averaged over fourteen
dollars. This is a case of where
it pays to be your own land
lord.
When George Bailey arrived
in Antwerp, N. Y, from Eng
land twenty-five years ago. he
was just a poor boy looking for
an opportunity. His first job
was in a saw mill. Proving to
be a good mixer, he soon join
ed the local lodge of Foresters.
BY studying to increase his
earning capacity, and by saw
ing part of his income regular
ly he began to accumulate pro.
perty, Now he occupies a high
and well-paid position as one
of the main officers of the l. O.
O. F., he is a director of the
local bank and newspaper, a
home owner, an automobile
owner and a substantial citizen
generally.
Fred is a Chicago boy who
started out as a barber shop
cashier at $500 a week, later
served as a mail-carrier for
several years, and is now worth
upwards of a million from hav-
ing invested his savings in
good realestate. From the
start Fred saved part of his
wages. After three years in
the barber shop he had 5000 in

the business for 81, 600, which
he put into the bank. He pass.
ed the civil service examina-
ton and became a mail-carrier
in the northwest section of
Chicago. He kept his eyes
open for good real estate buys
He made $1,000 profit on a
house he built on the first lot
he bought.
AS his capital increased he
began to deal in larger blocks
of vacant property. Almost
always his experience as a mail
carrier helped him to buy in
the right place. Presently the
increasing burdens of this busi-
ness made it necessary for him
to resign his government job.
In the last fifteen or twenty
years he has built and sold
more than 400 houses in the
same northwest corner of the
city. He is a director in one of
the local banks. He is worth
about $3.50, 600.
His recipe for success is an
old and simple one. Save part
of what you earn. Keep your
eyes and your ears open for the
opportunities which lie all
around you. Play the game
squarely.

That Electric Light Muddls-ons Way Out.


In the muddle over a long-due reduction OF
electric lighting rates. Omaha is hoist by its
own petard AS The Bee first pointed out, and
as is now again pointed out by our contempor-
ary the World Herald, all the city had done is
to buy law suit. while the patrons OF the light
ing company continue to pay for current at the
old rates. which even the company admits are
excessive
Looking backward We can see clearly Just
how this situation was stupidity brought about.
The Dahlman ordinance, which would have given
us substantial reduction, and which the cleo
trio lighting company publicly announced its
readiness to accept, was withdrawn because
OF the outcry OF few people who objected to
the straight meter-measurement scale. and the
so-called Butler ordinance was substituted with
the result that the company denounced IL as con-
fiscatory and appealed for protection 20 the
courts. which have hung the enforcement up In
definitely,
At the time these ordinances we're pending,
The Bee advised the council to take the reduc-
ton which the company offered. and then to
fight for a further cut n more concessions were
thought 20 be ohtainable II Is a failure to act
on this advice for which the electric consum-
ers are now paying 30 dearly. But the sugges-
ton also indicates way out, for II is not too
late for the council to retrace its steps and pro-
coed on the right track Let it now resurrect
and adopt the Dahlman ordinance. and secure
for Omaha the rate reductions which the COM
pany is willing TO concede without a contest,
After the new schedule is actually operative.

ordinance and buy the law suit again fit wants

least jeopardizing the cty's chance of winning
