THE GOOD LOSER

- Is siu n an Indian never cracks a smile at things
hch anuse "paletaces" but when misfortune befaIs, he laughs.
III Indians way toward the lighter side NAV not be the
Detter but In refusing to be cast down by misfortune he sets
a commendable example.
III may not be necessary to laugh about it. It NAV be no
laughing matter, but to meet reverses standing up and with face
TO them Is the wiser way. Losing money is the excuse for
some to go out and kill themselves. Defeat in al undertaking
on which one has set ones heart is not pleasant but there is
something worse than losing money or meeting defeat. To lose
courage to face conditions is worse. Some spoken of as
GOOD losers. That does not mean that they enjoy losing. No
the characters genuineness.
The Indian may not be a perfect model in all ways but if
ne LOG 10 stop to mourn overwhat he cannot help he
practices a philosophy that is correct under the circumstances
hs useless to cry over split milk, is an old maxim. Far better
10 hustle around and find some other milk and that is what
IN lholVldual OF resource, the good loser and possessor of
courage does. Few if any great undertakings came to fruition
without the promoters meeting with repeated failures while or
the way to success. Had they stopped to bewafl their ill luck,
success never would have been gained.
1t takes strength of character, courage, to persist when re-
suits are altogether adverse. What is in a person may not be
revealed until misfortune befals. When reverses come one
may Judge quickly whether courage or weakness is dominant

and the announcement of his entry into the business appeared
IN last weeks issue of the Enterprise.
We need no introduction to Ted Huntington. As a HIGH
school boy he received his first experience in newspaper work
IN the office of the Herald, and we know him to be a fine
young man. Since leaving this little print shop he has worked
at the trade at various places, and has left a clean record for
service behind him. 1t is without hesitation that he is bid well

Codys prospects for a prosperous year never were brighter
than now in the Spring of 1926. At the present time an $S5, 900
road contract Is under way in the canon, and bids are also called
for the completion OF a second road job, the Cody-Corbett road,
which will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000. Dresback, Riggs
lncy Ford dealers, expect to erect a big garage building this
Spring, and prospects are good for the start on the federal
building this year. With the farmer and stockman receiving
substantial prices for their products, a era of prosperity should
be at hand for this community.

to replace this shortage.
Building costs have increased to teh
point where, as compared with prices
obtaining before the war; the cost OF
pre-war type of dwelling runs lust
about double. Many persons have been
waiting for the csot of building mate
rials to drop. 1t is not at all likely
that building prices will drop. They
may even advance. 1t therefore bee
hoove. the prospective builder tc build
now. To delay longer may mean fur
ther increases in cost:
"The Spanish type of architecture
which we h2Jc used in the dwellings,
now being completed is the type which
has rroved m ,se popular in the south
west and along the Pacific coast
whare thousands of new homes are
always under construction, and we
feel that this type will lie decided
relief to the landscape, breaking Up

We have completely furnished the

"Our prime hope is that the opening
Of this "home beautiful today will
create the dormant desire of many
citizens to build new homes or i'm
prove their own. 1t is our hope that
in pfeparing this fine example of de-
sign, construction and adornment we
will have rendered real service to
the community.
After a sufficient period has
elapsed to give every resident of the
community and the many visitors who
are to come an opportunity to inspect
the "home beautiful and make note
of the many new ideas embodied in it.,
the "home beautiful will be offered
for sale, at a price but slightly above
its actual cost. Considering the many
gratifying expressions Of approval
which have come to us, we do not fee!
that any difficulty will be experienced

steadily increased during the past few,
years to compensate with the increas-
ed cost of living, it is not the eXpec-
tation Of business men and builders
that building costs are going to drop
Rather it is their general advice tol
build now in order to escape further
increases which may come in the fu-
ture.
: There may be some in Douglas who
have followed the building and the
furnishing of the Douglas 'home beau
tifuT' who think that the outlay rep
resetned in the new dwelling is not
Justified, and that it will represent
a cost far in excess of the price the
average home owner can afford. NO
the contrary, the Douglas home beau
tifuT' is only typical Of the thousands
of new homes being built on the Pa
cific coast by persons of moderate
means. The cost of the "home beau
tiful." as compared with the cost OF
many of the older homes in Douglas
is only proportionate to the general
rise in the cost of living and building
throughout the country. The. building
costs in this attractive new home were
carefully held in check and it's cost
may be safely accepted by prospective
home builders as being representative
Of the amount of money it is now nee
essary to put into modern, well
equipped new home
Had the "home beautiful been built,
allowing the contractor his usua!
profit, it's cost could not have been
kept below $4,000, and in offering
the home including shades, draperies
and linoleum at $4,000, members of the
Fred Hubbell syndicate, after inspect
ing many similar ones on the Paclfl"
coast, feel that they are offering q
real bargain.
Albert w. Stacy manager OIL the
Bassett lumber company, after inspect
ing the "home beautiful" stated that
the price quoted by the Fred HubbeIl
syndicate was more than reasonable.
He said that the same type Of home
being built extensively throughout the
middle west at the present time, is
selling for $4,000 and more.
There was a time, not so many years

ism to jam from overlooking. This
is accomplished by mountaing the
agitator on a flexible rubber ped
estal. The wringer, driven electrl-
cally, is mounted on swivel gears
so that it may be swung about from
tub to tub, a great convenience in
bluing and rinsing. By means of a
patented safety feature, the rollers
automatically spread apart in case
ones finger or any other object
should get caught in with the
clothes.
The gas range for the kitchen of
the "home a u ii u " was also
furnished by the Arizona Edison
company. This is a beautiful black
and white enameled Reliable"
range, provided with four mhin
burners, a broiler and baking oven.
A special feature of the range is
trolls the oven temperature. This
valve control is accurately cali
brated in temperature degrees and
makes it possible to instantly attain
the property adjustment for any
baking desired. An automatic burn
er lighter is also provided.
Has Radiola
The idea of making the installation
in the "home beautiful" complete,
to the letter, has even been carried
out to the extent of installing one
of the finest radio sets procurable.
The set is the Radiola "Super VIII"
one of the most elaborate instru-
ments manufactured by the Radio
corporation and without peer IN
the market. This is a six tube
uper-heterodyne, with loud speaker
and receiving loop all contained in
beautiful mahogany upright cabi-
net. No ground or antenna connec-
tions are, necessary, the instrument
being entirely self-contained. The
directional receiving loop is an exact
duplicate, on a smaller scale, of the
goniometer, used in direction finding
at sea. Sixteen instruments of the
same model as the one to be i'll

After viewing these many appii-
ances with which modern science
has simplified the work and increas-

offices of realty brokers regarding

1t is rare indeed when any Of these
agencies are able to offer to poten-
tial new resident a dwelling that Is
habitable without considering the
matter Of attractiveness.
If Douglas is to enjoy the growth
and prosperity which the resources
Industries, scenic attractions and eli
mate more than warrant, it is i'm
perative THAT many new homes be
built in the immediate future.
Not only should many new homes
be built to accommodate newcomers
but the many residents who have been
intending for years to build new
homes for themselves should procras-
tinate no further.
The city Of Douglas is one of th~
very few scientifically laid out, Well
planned cities Of the west. Teh city
did not grow in haphazard fashion
from handful of shacks. When it
was decided to build a city here, every
street wa splanned and laid out at the
very beginning. The result is city
of wide, symmetrical streets, with
ample room for expansion.
With the advantages of city plan
ming, all the city Of Douglas now
needs in order to offer real induce
ments to prospective settlers is a great
number of attractive new homes.
The purpose Of the "home beautiful
has been to stimulate the interest In
building which has been dormant these
past six years, and in order to give
the residents of Douglas an oppor-
tunity to see the latest ideas in home
building and the latest improvements
in home appointments, members of the
Fred Hubbell syndicate have extended
themselves in the effort to make the
Douglas "home beautifuP'the most at
tractive and the best built home of
it's size in this section of the country.
The spirit of these men in thus de-
voting their time and money to cause
which will indutiably be of material
benefit to the community and to the
individuals who are dependent upon
the prosperity of the community for
their livelihood is to be greatly COM
mended.

scribe standard for everyone. But
persons who have given much atten-
ton to the problem of helping fami-
lies save are agreed that this is a
practical plan for an average family
month:
Savings-including investments, pay
ments on real estate, life insurance,
etc.-$2G.
Food = including all meals eaten
away from home, as well as groceries
$50.
Clothes-$25.
Operating Expense Is Large
Fuel, light water, phone, ice, bar
Der, laundry, carfare, personal prop
erty taxes, etc.-$24.
Furniture requirements, tools, sill
yerware, Kitchen utensils and similar
equipment-$3.
Recreation, vacation, medical and
dental attention, books, magazines
lodge dues, automobile - everything
that legitimately comes under the
head of general welfare-$13.
Contributions to all institutions and
causes-$2O.
Rent or payments on mortgages
property taxes, insurance, upkeep and
repairs-$45.
Now, on this basis of saving $40 a
month, how long will it take to accu-
mulate the first payment on home!
Figuring compound interest at only 4
per cent, $40 a month will grow to
S247.24 in one year, $504.38 in two
IN
3O4.64 in five years.
The bureau of building and housing
of the United States department OF
commerce concludes from its extern
sive surveys that a family is warrant
ed in undertaking to build home
that costs approximately four times as
much as it's annual income. The fam
ily with an income of $2,400 a year
would be justified, therefore, in con-
sidering a home valued at not more
than $4,000. Toward such an under
taking as this, $1,3O4.64 IS a good start.
Saving Establishes Credit
But what is more important is that
accumulation of this sort would con-
vince Mr.. Banker of the family's ear
nestness Strict adherence to budget
system of this sort for five years
would establish the fanilys credit SO
that all the valuable services of the
bank would be available to help in the
realization Of the own-our- nome
idea
And it may be added that five years
of consistent accumulation on such d
plan as this would be almost certain
to result in a larger family income.
There's such a thing a establishing
credit with ones employer, too.
