Warren, Wonder City Of tue SOuthWest--- What Has Been

companies to build a lot of houses in Warren of a class that could be rent ed for a reasonable sum. and a lot of houses of a better class that could be rented for a sum that a man with a fair salary could afford to pay and still give his family a nice and com fortable home.
 If there is a single house for rent in Warren at this time this news paper man does not know it. and he spent all of one day this past week trying to find one for a friead and his family.
 This writer holds no brief for the companies or for the Warren property owner who wants the companies to do it all Neither has he sympathy or compassion for the owner who would try to secure a rental thaS realizes him 25 per cent upon his in vestment in a piece of property that pays neither city or special tax He writes and argues and pleads for the average citizen who wants to build a house for his family. and who wants to live in Warren in comfort and some happiness and who has pride in that town and faith in its future. Building a town is a fifty-fifty matter. after all. just like most of the great problems of life and living and winning a way and friends in the world. Responsi- bility and sacrifice and effOrt walk hand in hand with success and achievement, and always will
 But there is one thing just as sure as the sunrise gleam upon the noun tains, and that is that if all the War ren residents will talk and work and give and do for their town, it will repay them tenfold in real values and home and happiness.

Under what is known as the information at source" provision of the act of 1917 employers are required To file with the commissioner of internal revenue a true report of the wage of $500 or more paid to each employee during the year 1917.
