Make Big Deal.
The most important real estate
news during the past week was the
announcement that GOssen. Hill and
Mckenzie Co, a Detroit real estate
and investment firm. has purchased
track of land at the southwest
corner OF Miami st. and Ewing av.
and will begin shortly the erection
OF 100 modern residences on the
property. The total inv estment will
represent an expenditure of approx
imately 100000 il is understood.
This together with the announce
ment recently that +. NJ White. a
Detroit capitalist. would build 90
houses in the southern part of the
city. with the houses built by pri-
vate initiative provide for the needs
of those wishing 10 purchase prop
cry. There are also rumors that
other investment companies are
contemplating building a number of
houses here There is, however. no
possibility Of too many houses be-
ing erected and the need for the
organization and full subscription of
the stock Of the proposed holding
company is just as imperative as
ever. for it is estimated that at
least a 100 additional houses will
be needed to provide for South
Bends increase in population in the
next 10 or 16 months. The fact
must also be taken into cOnsidera-
ton that in all probability the in
vestment companies building houses
here will build them TO sell and
most people moving TO a new city
prefer 10 rent at first.

Great EndIish Estates.

A few illustrations of the size OF
some English estates are as follows:
The Duke of Northumberland owned a
few years since 1,4S1 acres; the
Duke of Devonshire, 132,99S; the Duke
of Bedford, 97,515. Those who know
nothing of the facts exclaim, "Why
don't the English people break up these
big estates and give the people
chance to get land?" If this were done
and thinkers, tailors and candlestick
makers got to farming and treating
their lands just as they liked down
would go its fertility, and away for
ever would go the well-ordered, fertile
estates that now make England fam
GUS. The English landlords as rule
take a real interest and pride in their
tenants and spend money freely IN
providing pedigreed horses, horned
cattle and sheep for the Improvement
of their fiocks, studs and herds.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

Gusie Felstrom worked all day sin
the box factory. It was monotonous,
wearisome work, and very small pay.
She saw on the avenue, when she
went home, other girls, no prettier than
she wearing becoming, beautiful
clothes. When she went in to buy a
pair of cheap cotton gloves she saw
women buying long kid ones, and a
kind of rebellion surged up in her heart
at the existing state of things. But
there was the WORKOUT, OverWorked
mother, and four children, all younger
than herself. The fathers small, inter-
mittent earnings barely kept a roof
over their heads.
Had Gussie not been girl who
thought, she might have drifted along,
perhaps in the footsteps of her moth
er, or worse, have become a girl OF
the streets on the downward road to
despair and death. She determined to
fit herself for something better, so
she went to night school, and then
learned typewriting.
She began working in an office at So
a week. This was not much better
than the box factory wages, and she
required better clothes, in order to
make decent appearance, so from
monetary point of view her condition
was not much improved. But she felt
she had taken step upward, and the
family regarded her advancement In
life with considerable pride. AS the
girl grew older and wanted more, and
her wages did not correspondingly in
crease. After she had been a typist
for two years she was earning only
So a week.
She was now nineteen, and her asso-
citation with other girls in Offices had
shown her homes cleaner, brighter, and
altogether more livable than her own.
She determined to have something bet
ter for herself. Two of the young
er children were now working, and she
resolved to seek a room away from the
home roof.
Both father and mother endeavored
to show her how ungrateful, unfeeling,
and utterly inhuman such course
would be to them; but-in spite of up
braidings and entreaties Gussie found
a room, and installed herself therein.
AS there had been an unpleasant scene
The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-08-16

at the parting, she cut loose entirely
from the family, not even letting them
know where she had gone. Her room,
though small, was neat and comfort
able, and in a good part of the city.
She got her breakfast over the gas In
her room. and her other meals at
cheap restaurant.
At home, when she came from the
office, she was expected to wash dishes
and help with the Homework. Now
after office hours she was free to
sew, keep her clothes in order, read
rest, or go where she pleased. If there
were hours when she missed the COM
partnership of mother and the Children
they were more than balanced by the
Joy of her new freedom. She had more
opportunities for going out with her
friends, and making new acquaint-
ances. On one of these occasions she
met man who told her he was about
to open an office, and he offered her a
position as typist with much better
salary than she was getting.
Frank Austin, the man in question,
was a good talker, well hammered, we'll
dressed, about thirtyfive years of age,
and to all appearances a gentleman.
Gussie accepted his offer, and found
her new quarters pleasant and attrac-
tive. On the glass door in gilt letters
were the words: "Pyro Mining and In
vestment Company, Frank B. Austin,
President"
Gussie was kept busy addressing
hundreds of letters and circulars all
over the country. Besides this she
wrote a great many letters at Austin's
dictation. She was working harder
than she had been, but she reasoned
she was getting better pay. 1t seemed
very wonderful to her to be writing
about millions, and enormous returns
for money invested, and one day she
ventured to say she wished she might
own a few of those shares, whereupon
