the war when all the ships now used
as military transports return to the

herself shy of dimes for the movies.

John, jr., and Jennie at home. So
things went for another two years
and one day a man came along and
asked if they wanted TO sell the place.
The shrubs and trees we're growing
nicely, and the place looked very
homelike. But when the man offered

gave an ultimatum-he would sell for

the family ever possessed that hadn't
been dug out by the roots, few dol

Mrs. Boyman. however, had another
place in her mind. 1t was better
house. had nice bathroom and furn-
ace and water in the sink, and could
be bought for $4,000. Then came the
building society again. John paid
81 600 down on the new place, signed
a mortgage with the building society
which required him TO pay SIS a
month-and the Boyman family be-
gan to live.
A Man of Business
Last week John called on President
DeLandwith a business proposition.
There was a house out his way that
he wanted to buy. He said he could
rent it for $25 month, and he would
buy it if the building society would
go into the deal. A committee has
reported in favor of the loan-and
John is in the way of becoming q
landlord. And he is quite different
man from the careless young fellow
who did his first business with the as

thing, he admits that he voted for
prohibition last fall He has been
offered $4,000 for the place he lives
in, but declines to sell. He wants
John, jr., and Jennie to grow up with
home of their own.
