Don't YOU'D
Merely Wisher

How often you meet him
the "Wisher!" He wishes
for this, he wishes for that,
or hewishes for some other
thing; and he usually gets
nothing! Because wishing
will get no one anywhere.
So it is that the "Wisher" is
always and forevermore a
"Wisher!" You know him
and his class" Oh, | wish |
had a decent place to live"
or "1wish | had a home" or
Il wish | could get a farm"
Well, the only way he'll ever
get it is by going after it.
And we say to YOU now
that if you want a house.
lot, farm, or ANYTHING,
don't be a "Wisher," but 60
and getit--go after it! Profit
by the experience of the
"Wisher" who never gets
anywhere or accompishes
anything. If YOU want
home go get it.
And, listen, the easiest, safest
and best way to proceed is to
turn RIGHT NOW to the Real
Estate columns of THE BEE
and scan the offerings, There
you will find many opportunities
awaiting you.

A Curious Wedding Present.

Among the Brass river tribes or
West Africa when 4 young couple get
married 1t II the custom for the Oldest
member Of the brides family to pre-
sent the bride with n plot OF ground
six feet long. This Is for the grave OF
her family and herself when they die.
The tirst member of the new family
who dies n buried about twenty feet
below ground and the next one almost
sixteen feet. and this goes Oh until all
the family die and are buried. The
grave holds them all. and this. they
think. prevents them from being sep
arated. This grewsome wedding pres
ent is the u mos valued by the
