 Every country of Europe is sing ing it's own vernacular. which means they are building up their own ma tional music and literature. They take good or bad translations. but insist on their own language.
 But we must go still farther. How can we build up good citizenship with a condition existing such as three score foreign language newspapers in Chicago in which no word of Eng fish appears? We cannot carry facts or art to the citizen who does not know our language.
 These newspapers, and all like them, by governmental decree, should be bilingual. Our children will have no careers in this artistic field if we do not demand opera in English of all companies incorporated in the United States.

 The rapid increase of vice, gam bling and other objectionable fea- lures in outdoor shows within the last few years caused the showmen to receive a bad name throughout the country. said Johnson. Showmen, he added, saw that something must be done to save their business from complete annihilation by public dis approval and therefore the show mems legislative committee was or ganized.

A feature of the work of Mir. Snider in connection with the cement end of the temple was the building of the foundation for the big auditorium upon which now rests over 4,000 opera chairs. Plans called for an au- ditorium so constructed as to enable every person seated to obtain a full view of the stage and all that is enacted there. To accomplish this the foundation for the chairs had to be so arranged as to elevate one row

that did it, assisted somewhat by the

confirmed the reports reaching here

guns of the league this year and can
terrorize any old pitcher unless he
has everything. Each one of them
garnered at least one hit for his aver
age. They started hitting the ball
in the first inning and never stopped
even for a turn in the field
Such praise as this should make
the people OF Payette proud of their
team.

decisive factor as to whether or not

BUILDING COSTS NOT
HIGH. RELATIVELY

When our grandfathers and grand
mothers were married, the first thing
they thought of was getting real
home. Now, young married people
live in 3-room apartment with a
garage as an added attraction. There
is too little of the own-your-own-
home movement, says Gus A. Lemon,
San Francisco business man. The
home building movement is one that
should be fostered.
While it costs more to own home
today than it did in the DAYS of our
grandparents, the income of the
prospective home builder is proper
tionately greater than was that OF
their ancestors. One trouble today
is that there is too much of tend
ency to buy home beyond ones
means. The organization or individ-
ual which makes it possible for
man Or woman to buy home at
fair price and on reasonable terms is
benefitting the community.
Draw a distinction between the
high cost of building and the high
cost of buying every new tangled con-
traption that is dangled before the
prospective home builder. Build your
home first and add come of the non
essentials later if you feel you have
to.

is 1T FAIR TO JONES?

Bill Jones spent 100000 building
up an industry which employs 100
men. On this property he pays a
school, road, county, state and cor
poration tax, and, as it is inside the
city limits a city tax covering po-
lice and fire protection and all other
city activities. In addition to this
he pays the government income tax
on any profit he makes.
Sam Smith, his neighbor, who has
children that go to the public school
with Bills whose property has the
same police and fire protection,
same paved road as Bills, and who
has all the advantage of city, coun-
ty and state improvement that Bill
does, has 100000 invested in tax
exempt bonds and escapes all taxa
ton which Bill has to pay to MAIN
tain the improvements which Sam
enjoys.
Will Bill spend another 100000
to enlarge his industry?

Ability to hit the ball combined

over several times during the week.

left than would have been possible

left than would have been possible

Don't blame the present building
! costs entirely on to-lum Der and labor
Remember that in nine cases out of
tn your ideas of what you want have
expanded with your income and you
would not be satisfied today with the
1913 bungalow.
Taxes at 500, insurance at $50,
repairs and upkeep at 500 and 7 per
cent interest on a $4,000 house
amounts to $3.50 year.
If you pay $50 month rent for
nine years you have $500 worth of
rent receipts worth nothing. If you
put $50 a month into a home for
five years, even if it was necessary
to cut out a few theater parties or
clothes to make up interest etc., until
the property was paid for, you would
have an asset worth probably more
than $500 at the end of nine years
and your family would have roof
ar its head which could not be
taken away from them for failure to
pay months rent.
Don't kid yourself, you can own
home as well today as you could ten
years ago if you want to. 1t is not
the cost of building that will pre-
vent you, it is the cost of satisfying
your inflated demands for luxuries
and modern extravagances that pre-
vents most people from building.
