so far as many of them are concerned but it is
certain that a lot of people now eking out an
existence in two rooms could, with little sac
rifice and little intelligence become home
owners. Located in their own homes the cost
of living would not be much greater than the
half living on the present plan.
The cost of building is high but the cost of
living without an established home is higher.
The person who would be satisfied with a, two
room house-much better than is offered many
times for light housekeeping find that
the investment required would be very small.
A few frugal people, with a love for home
have found it possible to build homes in this
way. It's comparatively easy to build the adj
dition to the home after the first step is taken.
With slowly but surely developing trans
portatiOn facilities there are many building
lots in and about Kenosha which may be Sc
cured at reasonable prices The investment in
this property is assured by the continual
growth of Kenosha and it is certain that if peo-
pie really show willingness to build homes
that it is easy to find financial aid It is large
ly matter of making up your mind that you
are through with Eight housekeeping" and
prepared to take up an obligation of home own
ership. A little thrift coupled with willing
ness to sacrifice just little in comfort will
give the assurance of home ownership.
Talk it over in your flight housekeeping
apartment tonight and see if you can not find
the way to the start. After the start is made
the rest will be easy.

Ito any one.
1t probably will never be. People who leave
themselves dependent on other people for the

Ethey get and people who seek to reap big pro-
hts from the uRfortunates seeking place to
dodge for the night will probably find that they
L will have to accept considerable amount of
pcriticism in collecting their profits.
Light housekeeping is little better than
Irving in tent or sleeping on bench in the
kpark but it is not the ideal way of living. Peo-

Fit may be that they are exacting heavy profits

THE PRESIDENT IS DEAD.

The death of President Warren T. Harding
comes as a stunning blow to the natlon. Mis-
taking the approach of death for the return or
health. !" he passed into the greater life when
nation of people who had been watching every
return from his bedside was of the opinion that
he was being brought back to health and
strength.
No president of the nation has been more
sincerely admired by friend and zoe anKe. NO
president has been more sincerely beloved by
the people who came into closest contact with
him and for this reason his death comes as
sorrow supreme.
History will accord to Warren G. Harding
high place among the men who have been great
in the history of the world. His life has Deen
one of the most notable contributions which
! this great nation has given to world achieve
ment. and when the history of the period OF
reconstruction after the World War is written,
it is certain that the name of Warren q. Hard
ing will have high place on the roster OF the
men who contributed much toward making
the world world of peace and toward Wlplng
out of the stains of war.
His gentle nature, coupled with irmness
for his convictions of the right, made him
truly great He stamped his individuality
upon the nation during the years he served in
Washington as it's head executive. Many men
differed with him in opinions of government
and world policy, but none failed to accord to
the president the fullest respect for his poll
cies,
He was an old-fashioned sort, believing in
old-fashioned honesty and he practiced this
old-fashioned honesty in his business life in
his life in the home and in his office as chief
executive of the worlds greatest nation.
Harding knew how to compromise, but he
never sought compromise with the wrong
His courage in opposing legislation, which he
believed to be unfair to the people and which
he believed would bring burden upon the peo-
pie, was one of the marked features of his ca
reer as president He stood out against the
Establishments of politicians and against the
cries of shouting populace in order to do the
| thing which he believed was right.
Few presidents have offered to the nation
such genial, cordial personality and one so free
! from the artificial atmosphere Of the public
office holder.
The nation today mourns great man, Won
/ derful president and loyal American who
! gave the last ounce of devotion in the service
! of his country.
! Had he been more thoughtful of himself and
less thoughtful of his country and the welfare
of his people, possibly his life would have been
longer.
! Today the nation turns to offer it's sympathy
! to lonely woman who yesterday was the
! FIRST lady of the land' and who today weeps at
the bier of her husband. She shared with him
the greatness of a great service to a nation
and the people are not forgetful of her in her
deepest sorrow.

@FyWAS Just silly little song
That rippled happily along,
song where "strue" and "eyes OF blue"
We're obviously rhymed with You;
song in which ''the skies above"
We're made to chime with "dove" and love
And herein with ingenious art,
The singer sang his simple heart.
aNWAS just a silly little song,
But here and there amid the threng
Youth looked at youth with warming eyes,
And found new beauty in the skies,
And sensed in music and in words
The joyousness of mating birds
And old men, tenderly begulled,
Remembered, sighed-and gently smiled.

Of pure enchantment, for it beat

And found life brighter and more fair.

A business man in Italy said to R.
L. Winchell, president of Remington
Typewriter company: "You have shut
out our wines by prohibition, you have
shut out our oranges, our lemons, our
almonds, our grapes and our laces by
high duties so that we have left little
that we can export to you, and then
finally you have passed immigration
laws so that even our labor cannot go
to your country for employment. Why
should we want to buy American prod
ucts if we can avoid it ?"
