VOW could it be possible i have been asked, for
~ servant who had come up from stable boy to
ape the manners and the atmosphere of nobility
% that he could successfully deceive not only American
men and of social position but members Of British
and French titled nobility
The parvenu nouveau richie who comes up suddenly
from the tenement or the servants hail. betrsys himself
In both Of two ways In spite Of himself he will
make lapses in grammar-snd nothing definitely and
irrevocaby stamps the psrvenu double negative or
any Of the dozen grammatical which mark
the conversation of the servant The other betrayal
comes from the unframed penmanship and dicton Of
written letter.
Sometimes, it is true, have known a servant who
could write surprisingly graceful letter. But this is
exceptional that is almost certainty that the farmers
boy the laborer the stable boy will betray him
self before he has completed the first sentence Of letter
If one escape grammatical lapses and write such
letter cultivated person would be expected to write,
then the rest is easy.

to acquire little st of tricks All household servants

Build Your Own Home

addition. This covers an immense area between
Oregon avenue and the river clear out to Ship
pngton. Hundreds of little homes are being
built out there.
Of course there is First addition, and the or.
iginal townsite, the latter covering that area
from klamath avenue to High street. and from
the river to Tenth street. While there are in
Vulnerable good sites for homes in these addi-
tions, the latter is the business section
Taking the city as a WHOLE there is opportunity
to secure building site Of any description: Hill
side, hilltops, riverside, lakeside, and sites that
lie lower but still with fine drainage and oppor-
tunity to develop them into fine residence proper
ties with very little work and expense.
Make it comfortable at first, and add conven-
fences as fast your bank account will permit.
Lots of people make the mistake of thinking
they cannot get along with modest dwelling,
but they can, and SO can you. The fundamental
idea is to get a start, and once you get started,
you won't stop, because this experience of build
ing your own home, and nursing it along to the
fulfilment of your ambitions, to know that it is
yours, is just the grandest feleing" in the whole
world. It's whole heap better than owning
lot of rent receipts. You can't raise any money on
versity comes, and you need money, you can al
ways get it if you have home and other proper
ty to back you up. You can always sell this pro-
perty, too And, one thing more, don't let the
fellow who tells you that interest and taxes
amount to more than rent get under your skin.
That fellow is a croaker, he's wrong, and it's
been proved that he is wrong too many times for
any normal person to take any stock in his tales.
Own your own home, and beat the rent man. This
is one way in which you can beat the rent man
legitimately.

mighty fine places in which to build homes. A
person likes to build home where the natural
resources, the climate, and the growing social
advantages warrant it. No place on Gods green
earth is perfect, but you will find, in broad
sense, that this region is near perfect any
normal person should expect to find it. There
are numbers of fine building homemaking Sec
tions all around you. Take this city for Instance:
There's the Hillside addition. This addition,
roughly described, begins on the left side Of
Crescent avenue, extends across the railroad
tracks to the Algoma road, and then along the
east side of the Hot Springs addition. There are
innumerable splendid building sites there; hill
sides, gentle slopes, and level land. And not too
far from the industrial districts, either.
How about the Mills addition? Most of this
addition lies on rolling land, great deal of it
slopes gently toward the lake, it's close to the
tail part of town, and still not close enough to be
bothered by the hustle and hustle of one of the
busiest little cities in creation This part of town
is building remarkably fast, and you can't
find better indication of it's desirability, unless
you get right down there and see it for yourself.
We have the first and second Hot Springs
additions including Pacific Terrace, where some
of the coziest little homes you saw are being
built. Say, Pacific Terrace is a pretty place.
These additions coming along in great
shape. Hundreds of fine little homes every
where you look.
Nichols addition, north of the Central school
to the cemetery; Ewauna Heights, and River
side addition, the older part of town, on the 9TH
er side of the river. Then there is Buena Vista

If you can't begin to build right now, buy
lot or two and you'll have them paid for per-
haps by the time you ready to build. That's
one sure way to get a start. Own your own
building ste and the building of your home
will come easy. Lots, and good ones, too, can
be bought here very easy terms. 1t is to the
interest of the property owners to sell them in
this way 1t aids development by keeping up the
building interest, and they know you'll build
some time.
Now, of course it is all right to talk about
building modest little homes at first, but if you
happen to be one of the more fortunate ones who
can build in accordance with their highest build
ing ambitions now, for goodness sake, build just
that way. klamath Falls has grown wonderful
ly. It's rather "spread out, but that gives it the
appearance of being, might say, generally
desirable It's pretty hard to select site Sec
ton from among many good ones and that's
why this city is spread out. It's good all over,
that's what it is.
Street improvements are being made all over
these improvements as you wish. Or you can
60 out little bit farther and get your improve
ments later. But, the big idea is that you need
home, you want home, and you can build one
here to your satisfaction. And, when making
plans to build, don't overlook the fact that there
are establishments here who can sell you any
thing in the building line, from lumber to putty,
ard plumbing, electrical conveniences, and
sh;rns Ike that. And, then, when your home is
built. ana you want a wife to put in it, you
geE the pick OF creation, right in klamath Falls.
They don't make them any better-any place.
Ask any Of our real estate men about the
town. Ask the Chamber cf Commerce. You'll
get all the information you want and need.
