ATTEMPT MADE TO
BURN CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE CHURCH

An unidentified person Friday night

on North A street.
A member of the church who stop
ped in Saturday morning noticed a
big hole in the floor of the reading
room and smouldering Goals below
the hole.
She Immediately notified Fire Chief
Ed Miller who went to the church and
Investigated. According to the fire

Putthe''I'
In Think

To have a place that is
your own, not month by
month as you pay rent for
it, but that is yours to keep,
is a great joy and content
ment. Every dollar that
you have so invested is as
safe as in the stronghold of
the U. S. Treasury and
pays you far greater inter
est returns than you could
obtain from any banking in
stitution.
In these days of house
building with scarcely any
houses in sight, the price of
real estate has scared to a
top place. 1t is not uncom-
mon to hear a man say if he
wanted to sell he could make
several hundred dollars and.
even thousands upon his in
vestment. Some who have
sold and made much rs well
as those who have an OPP
portunity to sell and again
have only owned hteir plac-
es a short time, while others
have had the use of the rent
al of the property for years.
This clearly shows that
money invested in a home is
safe and that if you have
used ordinary judgment in
purchasing the property that
not only can you get back
what you have invested in
the place but that you can
get back much more than is
invested.
Even if you buy on a con-
tract and the time comes
when you want to sell or
must raise some money, the
equity which you have in
the place will bring you
more than the sum of money
you have paid.
The greatest argument for
owning a home is not the
disposal value of it, but its
protection that it offers both
you and your family. Old
age, sickness, death is upon
you tracks, As head of your
house it is your duty, it is
your interest to protect the
loved one now, in the future,
while you are with them, as
well as protect them after
you have departed from this
life. How much help it will
be to have home when you
are gone. A place that no
landlord can deprive you of.
Your good judgment tells
you that these statements
are true facts and that you
should be purchasing that
home which will be a protec-
ton to your household, it is
time for you to act.
Ask someone who has
property to sell on good
terms-for instance
