Daily News. The goat has been given
a clean bill of health of late years.
Coats milk is richer than that of the
COW and equally pleasant to taste, and
the goat is not susceptible to tubertu
lcsis. Also the goat has been recog-
nized as a most desirable and useful
member of the animal family. Clean
illness and good treatment render her
former unpleasantness negligible, and
nanny. being naturally endowed with
a good disposition, makes fine pet.
Goats have risen In value since these
facts have been acknowledged by the
scientific child-lover and student. A
good goat of pure breed. say horn
less Tonnenburg or Saanen. Is worth
$500 and upward. There are not
enough such goats in tho United States
to supply the recent and growing de-
mand by a long way. But the humble.
useful and relatively valuable nanny.

be purchased here and there for less

For years American home builders
have been erecting square frame
houses containing six or seven rooms.
Not only is this type of house popular
with home builders. but with invest
ment builders and real estate men.
In arrangement of rooms. all of this
type are 'very much alike However,
by different treatments of the exterior
they are made TO look very dissimilar
and rows of them in real estate sub
divisions present an attractive ap-
pearance.
The value of this type of house to
the home builder is that ii not only
makes a comfortable and convenient
home, but, should occasion arise, it Is
readily saleable, for the simpte reason
1t will suit the needs and purses OF
the greatest number Of buyers.

We're gentle and we're quiet. We're

They say" Mother Sheep contin-
ued, that when folks cannot sleep
they make believe they are seeing
sheep, and that they are counting them

sheep follow each other and if one
were going through a gate the others
would be going through, too.

room is pleasant and conveniently lo-
Gated.
Scarcity of homes everywhere has
brought forcibly to the attention of
thousands of families the advantage
of building a home. Building costs
have advanced less than almost any
other of the necessities. And, as more
than 80 per cent IF the cost of build
ing a home Is labor cost, there Is
not probability that 1t will decline I'M
til wages are lowered, a contingency
wage earnerS do not welcome. But
when 1t is considered that rents now
adays are based on the present cost
of building and not on what the actual
cost of the building was when 1t was
erected, it is just as logical to build
now as ii was before the war.
Owning such a home as Is pictured,
or q house of some other good design
is a most excellent investment, even
though building costs have advanced
with every other cost. BY obligating
himself to pay for home. a head of a
family Is saving Systematically and in
few years will have an asset that is
worth while. Real estate always is
accepted as security for a loan, and,
just now can be sold easily. By the
payment of a part of the cost down
and the balance in monthly payments
the owners equity in the property
steadily increases. But building a
home provides a great incentive TO
save. ind the home is rapidly paid for.
But aside from the standpoint of
saving and accommodating money. the
investment in a home brings large div
idendH in contentment and satisfac-
ton. A home owner always Is a good
citizen and a substantial member of
the community in which he lives. He
and his family have social opportuni-
ties that do not come to the man who
rents. Also he is looked on as a more
desirable employee or partner in bust
ness than the man who rents.
Con sidered from every angle home
building is well worth the many small
sacrifices required of the average fam
! fly to secure a home of their own.
The quicker the start Is made the bet
ter.
