quite dull here. A great many
men are layed off and some are go

ped paying interest as the times
are very dull in that country, so
got busy and exchanged them for

tenants moving out and three says

again and exchanged the bungalow
for a house in Los Angeles. We
got a dandy bungalow modern and
up to date and worth $4,000 and

that | will have to pay. The one
traded for was worth $500 so
took back a mortgage against it
for $500 at 79o and he pays me
$25 a month. He did not have but
$4,000 equity in the $4,000 house and
he got out of work and he stood
to lose it. He moved right away
to Sunset Beach furnished one side
of the house and rented it for $25
month, the amount he pays me
and is going to work at Huntington
Beach about four miles away so
it made a good trade all around, of
course, it PIT me in the hole quite
a bit but the Lord is good and will
help me out. 1t was around about
way and would seem as though I
could not exchange them as long
as they were past due. l am go
ing to sell the house for $500 =
$500 down and $50 month.
Swallowed Rings
Three valuable diamond rings
belonging to Mrs. Ben Watson re
main in her possession today sole
ly because of Ter presence of mind.
The Watsons were held up on Long
Beach, Blvd. and Watson lost SIS
and the Bandits couldn't find Mrs.
Watsons rings because she swal-
lowed them. 1t seems as though
living expenses would be higher as
