MAN WIG n HOME IS THE
MAN WI rs IN THE END

There are ma ys of making
money but there one wav Ia
have money for the day" and
that Is by saving "a lars each
month and laying it az. il will
be available when needefy. an emer-
gency. The other day while talking
with Mr.. f.. ". Bowen, senior mem
Der Of the firm Of Bowen-Boyer Agen-
cy dealers in real estate, Mr.. Bowen
told a News reporter a story that may
be Of interest or value to many cit
liens "a well as the readers of the
News.
Mr. Bowen said there were two men
who came to town about the same time,
neither had any money to begin with.
They had lived on farms until they
had spent most everything they had
and came here to get work that they
might support their families and send
their children 20 school. They secured
work on the railroad and for time
it took nearly all they made to get
a start again.
One day Smith 1--WE will call one
Smith and the other Jones) decided he
had paid out enough rent and if he
could buy home on the installment
plan he would cut out the paying of
rent, so he began looking around for
something that would do for home.
lie had saved few dollars each
month and if he continued saving he
would be able to add TO the building
and some day would have a nice home
of his own.
Jones was different. He did not
want to buy a home until he had cash
enough to pay for same as he abhorred
n debt. He said taxes and interest,
and insurance would soon eat up the
money paid out for rent, and then the
house might burn or the wind blow
1t away, so he continued paying rent
and waiting for the ready cash with
which to buy IA home.
Jones made good money after he
had worked a year or two so he rent
ed better house and necessarily paid
more rent. He paid his bills each
month and $50 month now seemed
easier than so did when ne first came
to town.
Mr. Rowen said it mad been six years
since these men came 20 town and
during that time Jones had paid out
$500 in rent alone. for which he had
nothing but the receipts to show. Mr..
Smith paid $l2O out for rent the first
year. Then he bought IA home for
which he bargained to pay $1,000. He
paid eight per cent interest and each
year he paid 5000 off the principal.
He had paid out Sl2O for rent the first
year; the interest during the five years
to S2i0; taxes $50; while
his insurance amounted to S2S. Now,
at the end of five years, he has paid
out Sl47S-Sl5s more than Jones
but he owns home that is worth more
than $1,000 as properly has increased
in value during the past five years.
The point Mr.. Bowen wishes to i'm
press on the Renters mirdS is that il
pays to buy a home ana when you pay
for it the property will be yours in
stead of doing like Jones-paying for
It in rent and then not owning it in
The end. He has number of places
listed in the News for sale. Some
Of these can be bought with small
payment down and then the balance
will be like paying rent, only you will

A number of our citizens have suC-
gested that Tucumcari be allowed to
raise pig and the worthless dogs be
killed. Unless a dog is worth paying
taxes on he should be killed to save
food, A pig is worth considerable for
food and could hardly be called mem
ace to the neighbors unless he was
not fenced properly. There is some
food for thought and if the council
raises the ban on pigs in town there
will not be any serious protest, al
though the raising of pigs inside the
city limits should be regulated.

REAL WINTER WEATHER

During the past week Tucumcari

winter weather. The thermometor

Thompson-T Topping

Word has been received of the
marriage of Assistant County

Wis, on July 10. Miss Top
ping was formerly a teacher in the
Glendive schools; she was very
proficient teacher and Lowell by
all her pupils. Mr.. Thompson
has been a resident of Dawson
county for some time and practic-
ed law at Circle for a number of
years up until a short time ago
when he was appointed to the Of
flee of assistant county attorney
of Dawson county. The bridal
couple will spend their honey
moon on trip to the eastern cities
before returning to Glendive.
The Monitor extends congratula-
tons and wish the happy couple a
long and blissful welded life
Glendive Monitor.
Circle people have been expect
ing to hear something like this
about 0. j., for sometime, but
nevertheless it came as a surprise.
1t is a well known fact that Mr..
Thompson has made a number of
so-called business trips to the east,
winding up in Wisconsin every
time, and at last he "won her
heart and hand.
Mr.. Thompson who is now as
sistant county attorney, was for
merly a resident of this place and
is indeed very highly respected
and popular young man.
His many friends in this section
join with the Banner in extending
to Mr.. Thompson and his bride,
their heartiest congratulations.

A Call to Duty

From the battle fields in France
there comes an unspoken call that
should find an answer in every
Americans heart. The recent
great events in Europe, the sue
cesses of American arms on the
fields of France should spur
every American to greater effort.
Our people at home should not
rest on the laurels of our soldiers
in France. Every death on the
field of honor in the line of duty
and for our country's cause
should be call to us for every
sacrifice and every exertion to aid
the cause for which our soldiers
are fighting, for which our SOL
dlers have died.
Increase production, decrease
consumption, save, and lend to
the Government. Every cent
lent to the United States is used
to support, strengthen, and aid
our soldiers in France.

SAVE
GARDEN FOOD

The Food Administration In Mon.
tana urges that Montana people, who
have gardens this summer, take every
precaution against the waste of any
food from these gardens. German
women have kept their nation in the
war for the past three years by sys-
tematic gardening and by saving every
ounce of food produced in these gar
dens.
Two things should be kept In mind |;
first, that the products of gardens
should be used this summer to take
the place, as far as possible, Of other
foods that may be shipped abroad /;
second, that all garden produce not
used this summer should be preserved
for winter use by canning or other
preserving method.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture and the United States
Food Administration have co-operated
In urging the preserving for winter use
of surplus garden produce. Instruc-
lions for the preserving of garden
foods may be obtained from the De-
partment of Agriculture, and recipes
for the use of such preserved foods
may be obtained from the Food Adj
ministration.
1t behooves American people to hold
food more sacred than ever in the
coming year. The next year may see
the crisis of the war. America must be
prepared with food for her own millions
and for the millions of the allied ma
lions.
Remember, the millions of men in
the trenches are not producing food. /
Those at home must double their en-
ergies to make up the shortage. There
is at present a world scarcity OF
wheat and sugar. Our obedience to
regulatory measures on wheat and
flour is the only means Of providing
against worse than shortage.

America loves peace. Always
has loved peace. Always will
love peace. Loves it with an
honest, fervent love that knows
only honor as a limit. Loves if
like you love your wife and child
rem and will defend and fight for
it as you would fight for them.
Oh, yes! we love peace. Love it
SO strong that we will shed our
blood, in order to attain it.
Vast numbers of our boys are
now on the battle lines and many,
many more will follow them.
Maybe your brother, your son, or
your sweetheart is one of them.
They go proudly, gayly, full of
youth and vigor. Many will
never return. Many will return
with leg or hand or both off.
Some will be blind and some even
demented. They will be living
monuments to remind us that
there is something that America
loves more than her beloved
peace and that is her honor.
Will you be able to look these
crippled boys in the eye and
know in your heart that you. did
your utmost to help defend that
honor? Are you casting aside
pleasures that you may loan the
Government more money? Are
you denying yourself some of the
little comforts that your money
thus saved may be loaned. to the
Government to buy the necessary
food for the boys who fight? Are
you actually sacrificing just a little,
gaming the money to your Gov
from savings that these
boys may have the best guns and
an unlimited supply of ammuni-
ion? Remember these things
will bring back the sons, the
brothers and the sweethearts,
