Real Outlaw in the Movies

Oxnard, California, is to have some
thing new in the way of movie.
1t is a film play written and acted by
former bandit Al Jennings, now turn
ed evangelist, and shows all sorts of
thrilling scenes wherein banks are
robbed and safes looted, until relig-
ion enters and the bandit is turned
from the error of his ways, if not
his getaways.
The author maintains that most
wild west bandit plays are greatly
overdone, and that some of the favor
lite film heroes do things which no self
respecting robber would really be
guilty of, such as jumping over horses
and like artistic frills.
1t is said to be the true-to-life story
of a man who has tried all that out
lawry has to offer, including prison
term, and has proved to his own sat-
isfaction that the way to be happy is
to be just plain decent.
The mans story is romantic enough
and the picture should be interesting
and sufficiently strong in its moral
lesson to suit the most exacting CEN
sor. 1t might also shed new light
upon the criminal problem. Turn
the bold, bad man into movie heroes
and let them reform sin-tossed
world.-Waycross Journal Herald.

1t is the opinion of some that Re-

the ratification of the peace treaty
as the Germans will do in regard to
signing it-protest and bluster and
then capitulate.-Cuthbert Leader.

enough to avoid opposing it, and yet
they will be wise enough to sign it

are framed for every period of his
tory and will measure up to every ad-
vance that man makes.-Grady Coun-

The Independent Man
BY RONALD s. O'NEILL.

Somewhere in the heart of every man is the desire to
be INDEPENDENT Independence is the measure of one
standing in the community. -
The first step along the road to independence is to own
ones home. The who his own home is the re-
spected, the trusted man in every community a.. Il
Last week of the largest employers of labor in the
country ordered of his factories to determine
what percentage of his employees owned their own homes
At the time he announced that in the future no man
would be employed in his establishment who was not
home owner or home buyer. =, -. ~. -
Sound logic prompted this action The RESPONSIBLE
man is the most valuable employe. The HOME OWNER
has deeper sense Of civic pride He establishes he is
responsibe he interested in everything that tends to-
ward the peace and security and upbuding of the
munity The HQME-OWNER is less likely to ioin in
strikes, he has attained toward the position of INDIE
PENDENCE enjoyedby his employer and is at once
intelligent and conscientious worker ~
There is little excuse for man not owning his own
home The great Liberty loans have insted into the
American people lessons of thrift that will endure through
the coming days of peace As bought Liberty bonds
they can and will buy homes The example set hi ono
manufacturer will be followed by others It will da;1v
become more requisite to mans securing responsible
employment that he Own His Own Home
There is no appeal from the man who seeks noston
that is treated so lightly by private and public empover
alike as the appeal which from the man who has
everything to gain and nothing to lose
The INDEPENDENT MAN always Owns He o,un

increase in real estate valuations is at
least as great as the increase in real
estate values. Most of the revenues
Of each OF our cities arises from real
estate taxation.
The search for larger revenues dur
ing the period since 1913 has in many
cases driven tax assessors to increase
the valuation OF real estate. for this
valuation is the basis OF the tax.
Therefore, 1t is entirely possible that
this increase in real estate valuation is
more rapid than the increase in val
ues. In other words. the total value
of real estate in 1918 compared with
1913, IL we could ascertain IL, would
probably show an even smaller IN
crease compared with commodity
prices than the increase in real estate
valuation
should Help Building. 81
The fact that the cost of Land is
comparatively low this spring. In the
face OF an insistent demand for new
homes and apartments, should help
the building prospects for the coming
year. 81,
There is every reason to believe
that there will be a considerable in
crease in the value, and the prices
asked for real estate In the future.
But. fortunately, for the prospective
builder, the present cost OF lard ron-
siderably offsets the costs OF labor
and materials, and this fact wilt un-
doubtedly, cause many to begin build
ing at once instead of waiting for an
uncertain future when prices In gen :
eral might be lower.

POPULATION JUMPS
111,0OO O|N2YEARS

Washington's Increase in popuIa-
tion during the past two years has
been 111,0oo, according to a very care
full survey made by Harry *. Boss. Of
Boss e. Phelps, Inc. The normal in
crease in Washington during the past
twenty years bas been approximately
5000 a year.
Mr.. Boss believes that the construc-
tion of housing accommodations must
be begun at once to meet the tre-
mendous present demand. Comment
ing on the situation in Washington
today, Mr.. Boss said:
Our population in March. 1917. was
about $4,000; November /. 1918, about
500, 900; January Is, 1919, net loss
about 1000: present population, about
496, ,0000; therefore, we have today
about 121,00o more people in Wash
ington than we had in March, 1917.
For the past twenty years oar
average yearly increase has boen
about 5000, consequently we have to-
day in Washington (allowing 10000
as our normal increase for two years)
an increase of1l1 900. that would take
us about twenty years to gain at the
rate we had been going.
More Millions In sight.
"1n addition to our increase Of
III, 900 workers. and the money they
earn and spend, there will be addi-
tional millions Of dollars in circula-
tion in Washington as the result Of
the Governments increase in the pay
OF the Federal and municipal en-
ployes.
"a large number of these III, COO
are men who have been placed on the
permanent rolls and are now looking
around to find suitable accommoda-
tions In order to bring their families
here in the spring.
"An enormous amount OF construc-
tion work and improvements Of every
description by our Government, the
States, great and little corporations,
and individuals, totaling billions of
dollars. will soon be started from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
To he Greatest City.
"our great railroads, industries,
manufacturing plants. municipal i'm
proponents, highways, and farm lands
have been neglected TO a large extent
because OF our inability to get labor
and material. and. as we all know. this
work must go on, and go on soon.
And what Is to keep US from it when
we have the natural resources, the
gold, the man power, and the basi-
ness penii of the world (which we
lave proved during the last eighteen
nonths)? And with such wonderful
advantages, how can the United States
Of America, but become the greatest
nation in the world, and Washington,
its Capital. the show place of the
world? There is nothing more SUBJ
stantial than improved real estate in

You can compel your husband to

this. The landlord must serve notice
on the lessee, in this instance your
husband. This notice cannot be
served by leaving notice at your
apartment as this is not your hus-

should consult a lawyer in regard to
obtaining support money from your
