FACTORY-BUILT BUNGALOWS
ARE IN ACTIVE DEMAND HERE

1t is stated that the ability Of
ranchers and people of moderate means
to buy factofy-built bungalows cost
ing considerably less than other
dwellings, has resulted in an unusual
demand for this type of building, es-
,peciallXF here in Imperial Valley. The
making Of factory-buit houses of
any considerable size is said to have
originated in Southern California and
the Industry has, become an import
aant one. : s1.stat1 = $500 3
Among recent purchasers in the

ley, house of five rooms and screened

Speaking of home-building activi-
ties in the Valley, J. E. Wilson of the
Pacific Portable Construction Com
pany said:
Business conditions are improving
everywhere in the Valley. A few
'mohths ago our Los Angeles factory
was enlarged, but owing to the ex-
traordinary call it has been necessary
to. install additional facilities and
hire more men. This demand for
factory-built homes and also lumber
and building material of all kinds is
indicative of the beginning of an era
of prosperity which has been looked
forward to by all of U.S.

Gen. Dodge that he would visit him a.

Last night had a frightful dream:
| thought we had d war.
And all the land was bracing up
To Hoods Of fire and gore.
Musing on this went to stroll
Along the sandy shore.
And there l found q soldier lone.
His brow was knit with care;
And ever and anon he grabbed
And fumbled at his hair:
Yea. oftentimes he swore and stamped
And ofttimes stamped and swore.
He was a well set-up galoot
AS any Jack or Jim
His kit was clean mis- eye was keen,
He's young and strong and slim.
He'd made husky regiment
Had there been more of him.

And threw a scowl my way.

Though. honest, I'm some peach,
There's thirty thousand men to guard
From Maine to Key West beach

About five miles per each.

And fill the Philippines.

And fallin' on their ear.
And singin patriotic songs,
And sendin' out for beer.

Must hump ourselves to keep
