PARIS LACKS PEP, STILL

date for so long that it is now ex-
periencing difficulty trying to- get in
to it's old poppy ways since the ban
was lifted slightly as to $3.50 cafe
closing.
1t is now permitted to keep the
cafes open until 1890 o'clock. and
music, taboo during the war, is also
in full blast.
But Paris had hard work trying to
| get used to the new arrangements
after more than four years of $50
closing Paris got the extra hour
for dining and winning the latter part
Of March The cafes were Informed,
however, that they could not use any
more electricity for lighting than
had been allowed previously, and
that if the daylight saving law
would accomplish the economy we'll

ing out little later at night. But
it took some time for 1t to get read
justed. At $50 the usual crowds of
diners were vanishing. Gradually
they edged up to 10 O'Clock, but 1t
was rare for very many cafes to be
crowded past that hour.
Paris barred music and dancing
during the war as unseemly. Dane

some of the small cafes are gradually

Great Men Are Bold.

Were one to anaiyze the careers OF
200 or 300 of our leading men OF
finance and industry it would probably
develop that not half Of them contin-
ned in the line of business in which
they started, but struck boldly out In
the direction where they saw the big
gest opportunities and where their in
clination lay.
J, One Of the earliest and most notable
instances of this was Commodore Van
tlerbilt, who was so old before he
turned to railroading that his family
land his advisers iriportuned him to let
we'll enough alone and not to enter an
entirely new field at his time of life.
This readiness Of brainy giants to
take up new things and to throw their
whole selves into them Is really one
of the principal reasons why the
United States has led the world in SO
many lines Of endeavor. Wealthy Eu'
ropeans, as q rule. avoid the new
avoid untried paths: they are inclined
to worship precedent.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1919-04-22

the cessation of hostilities may be EN-
ployed. At the same time. buying q
home means providing against the fu-
ture, which Is worth while, 10 mat
ter what sacrifices have to be made.
But leaving out the considerat ions
Of patriotism and being provident,
there areadvantages in owning home
that more than balance any slight pri-
walton that Is required to secure it.
The home owner is the best man in
his community. He Is stable and Is
regarded as real part of the life Of
his home town. He is the substantial
man Of the neighborhood in which
he lives, not merely floater, who has
no ties to bind him to the social and
business life that is around him.
Buying home might be compared
with going in swimming for the first
time in the season. The initial plunge
Is dreaded; but after it has been made,
how invigorating and satisfying is the
water. Making up the mind to buy a
home Is the hardest part Of becoming

Plans May Be Altered.
The plans for this bungalow are
susceptible to almost any change that
the home builder desires. While no
provision is made for a fireplace, one
can easily be added. Also it may be
that the lot is so located that differ
ent exposure is wanted. In this case,
the plans may be reversed and the
living and dining rooms and kitchen
placed where the bedrooms are.
Consultation with the local builder
and lumber dealer will quickly reveal
the cost Of this bungalow. Also valu-
able advice as to the kinds Of materials
md equipment to be used in this bun
galow can be secured from them.
AS was said at the beginning, owning
home is the best investment man
who Is at the head Of a family can
make. And the person who decides to
make that Investment will find the
banks, the real estate men and the

the owner Of one. When the initial
payment is made and the owner has
taken possession, he is repaid for his
action so many times that he cannot
understand why he had not taken the
plunge before.
A home is within the easy reach Of
every man who has any sort of
standing In his community. Banks
would rather loan money to the home
builder of their town than to almost
any other individual.
No Waste in Modern Homes.
Modern homes are designed so that
there Is no waste space in them. Ev-
cry nook is utilized and floor plans
are made with the idea in mind that 1t
Is not the number Of rooms, but the
cenveniences and comfort the rooms
will afford that Is of the most impor-
lance.
The modern bungalow is an exempli-
fication of this idea. "A small house
