Ing associations always are ready to
finance a BODYBUILDING project, and
will allow the owner to pay the cost in
installmeIfs. While 1t may appear to
be a considerable of an undertaking to
Obligate ones self to pay a certain
fixed amount each month for a period
Of years, nevertheless that Is exactly
what he has to do If he rents. And at
the end the renter has nothing to show
for his expenditures.
Every person who rents a home
owes 1t to himself and his family to at
least investigate the possibility of Sc
curing a home of his own. The home
owner is better and more prosperous
member of the community in which
he lives, and secures, in the satisfac-
ton of being a property owner. greater
consideration both from business assO-
ciates and from those he comes in con-
tact with in social way. Right now
stop and think of those you know who
own their homes. Then compare their
standing with those who rent.
The colonial home shown in the H.
lustration is merely a suggested de-
sign for prospective home builders. AS
good as ii is. both in exterior and in
terror design, 1t may not coincide with
the ideas of every home builder. 1t is
an easy matter to get wide selection
of home designs to choose from. The
local architect, Contractor and building
material dealer all have a great vari-
ETY. of BODYBUILDING plans THAI are
available for prospective builders.
No matter what sort of home you
want there usually is one that will
meet your ideas of exterior appearance
and interior arrangement that can be
built for the amount of money you can
afford to pay for home.

Garden stevenson's Memorial.

On VaIlima at Apia. Samoa, once
the property of Robert Louis Steven
son and more recently the site of the
government house, garden is being
laid out that will be a memorial to
the novelist. Rows of SagO palms
have been planted along the driveways
and the island agricultural department
has undertaken to obtain the plants
and flowers most liked by Stevenson
which can he grown in Samoa. There
was formerly no garden on the prop
erty and the one now established will
be a gracious tribute TO a man as
fond as he was of nature and outdoor
life. Stevenson's admirers will also be
glad to know that, according TO re-

Dutch colonial houses are having a
steadily increasing popularity with
home builders. They have the beauty
of the colonial exterior, coupled with
the quaint roof treatment of the homes
of Holland. an architectural style that
was transplanted into this country in
colonial times. And coupled with these
advantages, the Dutch colonial makes
possible great economy in the use of
the interior.
