While one can build wonderful air
castles out of nothing, it requires
ready cash or cashable securities be-
become a reality.
Just how much money is needed
and how large house one can build
and maintain on the family income is
explained in the following, prepared
by the Minneapolis Trust Company:
Suppose you want to build home
costing $500 First you should de-
eide whether you can afford TO build
IT. Then you must decide upon
suitable site-one well located. with
a value consistent with the cost OF
the house. The site should be worth
from $1,000 to $500. or about one
fourth the value OF the improvement
This will make a total cost of about
$4,000. Building and housing author
tiles have concluded that you should
not buy or build home costing more
than twice your annual income
Therefore. YOU can afford to build
this house if your income is $4,000 or
more per year.
Your next problem is how to finance
II. IF you must pay for it in install
ments or by deferred payments. II
should not take you longer than fif-
y
an initial capital sufficient to make
this possible. Here are the items you
should have cash for:
Purchase of lot. $1,000: survey of
lot, 500: water meter, SIS: building
permit. $3.50; plans and specifications.
$27.50; first payment to contractor
(say. 10 per cent of contracD, $3.50:
commission on first mortgage of
81 600 (31a per cent fve-year loan),
$40; recording of first mortgage. IS:
recording OF second mortgage and regis
tration tax $40: examination of title,
s'5: fling of deed, 81: total. s2,420.7O.
There also will be a certain COM
mission to pay the second mort
gage. Such commissions vary to a
great extent as there is no fixed rate
for them. They are always larger
than on frs: mortgages as the secur-
ity is less.
When your house is completed you
can borrow 90 per cent of the value
of the property, O. $4,000. by means

701.21e barrels OF portland cement
were shipped in this country last
year. In producing this material the
cement mills used enormous quanti-

For example. well over $4,000 miles
of wire were used in making wire

TWO OCCUPATIONS FOB MAN
One t. Work With and the Other for
His Diversion. is Opinion of
Philosopher.

A philosopher sad every man should
have two oecupaI ons, one to work
with, the other to play with, writes
"Girard' in the Phi .adelphia Inquirer.
Or. John II. JopAJn's other occupa-
ton IL fishing When this eminent sur
geon was slashing around the other
day with a new trout rod it reminded
J. StOdgell Stokes of story to prove
that the biggest fish Is not always
hooked By the most expensive tackle.
Stokes and other HaYerford collie
CLANS thought 1t would be nice when
the late President Sharpless was about
to retire to give him the finest bass
rod, reel and line that could be bought.
The old scholar was duly grateful and
accompanied by Mr.. Stokes elected to
christen his gift in Jersey water
where bass are almost as plentiful as
the mosquitoes on shore.
A barefoot native lad watching
open-eyed at the unfolding of the
beautiful rod, whispered to Mr..
Stokes:
Inc Dutcher won't sell much meat
tomorrow"
Nothing, however, that DIR. Sharp
less could do would coax a fish to take
the hook. Then the lad, waiting In
silence for an hour, grayely cut a
switch from tree, rugged up a line,
took a rusty hook from his pocket,
dug an angleworm and without com
ment proceeded to fish.
You have already guessed the
sequel. The boy soon had a string Of
bass, while the scholar and his friend,
man of high business qualities,
caught not one.

HAVE HIGH NUTRITIvE VALUE
According to Bureau Of Fisheries, Sea.
Mussels Are Not Appreciated as
They Should Be.

officials of the bureau Of fisheries
declare that sea-mussels are, In a high
degree, both palatable and nutritious.
The bureau goes farther and says that
in view Of the abundance Of the mus
sells and the ease with which they can
be obtained, the neglect of them for
table use is wasteful. 1t points out
that sea-mussels are found along the
coasts Of nearly all the northern half
of the northern hemisphere, and that
there are beds on the New England
coast so extensive that the mussels
could be collected daily by the ton.
1t adds that many persons consider
the flavor of the musse superior to
that Of the oyster; that, moreover
mussels are In season when the oys-
ter is out Of season, and that they
are more easily cultivated than the
oyster. 1t admits that fresh mussels
are most difficult to market. for they
spoil If kept more than "a hours, but
asserts that If canned or picked they
retain their natural flavor for months.
The bureau recommends that such
cheap and nutritious food be placed

OLE COURSE.

OF COURSE, there is a lot of
politics connected with all these
exposes. One Democratic Senator
pointed out, for instance, that if
the Government didn't move fast in
indicting the Republican officials
or ex-officials who might be involved
in the Veterans Bureau scandal,
hundreds Of thousands Of ex-soldiers
in the country would be expected
to turn against the party and to take

THIS IS THE OPEN season for
scandal in high places. Hardly
anyone is escaping. Secretary Of
the Treasury Mellon and Internal
Revenue Commissioner Blair are
charged with thwarting the efforts
of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
to keep the country as dry as the
Yolstead Act contemplates. Charles
r. Forbes, former Director of the
United States Veterans Bureau, is
accused Of planning to feather his
nest by getting a share of the money
spent on building hospitals for
disabled ex-soldiers. A Senate
committee is investigating the leas-
ing Of large naval oil reserves in
Wyoming to private interests, and
the activities of former Secretary Of
the Interior Works, Secretary of the
Navy DENLY and Assistant Secretary
of the Navy Roosevelt are being
scrutinized in this connection.
THE FORBES SCANDAL is caus-
ing the most excitement in Washing
ton, involving as it does a man who
was close friend of the late Presi-
dent Harding and who is ready, he
says. to produce letters of com
mendation from Harding to prove
that he is innocent of amy wrong
doing. While a Senate Committee
continues to probe charges of alleg-
ed graft and corruption in the ex-
penditure of funds set aside for
incapacitated world war veterans,
the Department of Justice is stand
ing by to start criminal proceedings
whenever the time is deemed propi-
tious.

mound builders, near Albany, Ore, has
pronounced the place one of the won

that section.
Professor Horner said the carvings
on mortars, the stone pipe and other
objects were examples Of the highest
type of stone workings found in graves
of mound builders. He said the dis

builders, who antedate the Indians,
had the same religion as the sun wor-
