Sunday afternoon the North Gros- yenordale club, formerly lover the Top" team, travelled Co Putnam to play the supposed to be good Silk Sox of that town. The game started off fast with both teams scoring five runs each in three first innings. Then Grosven- ordale club let loose with their bats and scored five runs, collecting two home runs, triple and two doubles in the fifth inning. From then on the game was a one-sided affair with North Grosvenordale having things their own way. Although the North Grosvenordale boys didn't like their treatment while in the Putnam dress ing room, they are rejoicing over their i2-7 victory and are still confident they can beat their old rivals.
 There were large number of root CTS from this town who accompanied the team, and all returned home happy with the showing of the team. Cool CT" Nelson, formerly with the Put nam club, was behind the bat for the Grosvenordales, and played a good game, allowing no one to steal bases and collecting three hits out of five. Years are not yet telling on old "Cool- CT" Walt" Cody, F. H. $. luminary, also collected three out of five. In T.

Home Ownership is
Of Capital
To Many Non-Savers

Discount, II you Ike. the senti-
mental reasons for making q pay
ment on q rose covered bungalow,
there remain many practical con-
siderations that make home owner
ship advisable for the average fam
lily OF small means. says Herbert u.
Nelson, executive secretary Of the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards In the associations weekly
article for the public.
MI. Nelson admits that some Of
the joys OF home ownership describ-
ed In the nanny songs can be at
tanned In rented quarters but he
says that the one big reason why
people should own their domiciles
Is because II makes them save
money they would never accumulate
otherwise.
Home ownership was given "capi-
tai" to hundreds OF thousands OF
people who would 90 through life
with not as much as q pup tent
10 their names, says the association
secretary.
And he points out that fair fl
nancing plans make it possible for
people OF very small income to be-
come their own landlords. He avs:
IF hard times fall on the renter
he can pack up the children and
move to cheaper quarters. He often
does this rather than change his
other living standards. But unless
the family working to save for a
home Is practically wiped out finan-
cially, the payments 60 on. That
family will cut own n some other
way. They will not lose their home.
And on the capital built up; in
homes, thousands OF families have
borrowed money TO make additional
investments and to go into bust
ness that have rought them pros
p~erity-and often great wealth.
The second practical reason why
home ownership is advisable for the
family OF small income is. that with
very little additional expenditure
per month, the average family al
have a much better home by own
ing than renting.
Every home owner works on his
property but the renter seldom does
anything to improve his quarters.
He knows he may be packing his
bags on the first and he argues that
II would be foolish to spend money
on q place that Is not his own.
"The home owners table does not
contain the items for vacancy al
lowances and landlords profit that
are figured In the renters rent BILL"
he says. The total OF these items.
in many cases, allows sufficient
funds with which to purchase a
home. For example, on a property
worth $500. (house and iot) the
landlords profit would be comput-
ed at probably not less than eight
per cent Of this amount; certainly
he should receive this much return
on his money fc- the time and trou-
BILE entailed in icing O landlord.
Eight per cent Of $500 is $500 a
year. This Is an amount the renter
pays for occupying his rented quar-
tiers in addition to all the other
charges for keeping UP the house
listed above. Tie landlord Of such
a home. probably will add also an
other 500 in making up his rent
| figure to protect hiI..self In case this
| property stands vacant a month or
SO during the year. This makes
500 the renter pays aside from the
carrying charges for the house. That

or land contract.

la Plante
Leads In Talkie

There has been much discussion
as to whether the public's favor
lite screen stars would be pushed
aside. due to inferior voices and
acting technique, as a result Of the
ascendancy Of talking pictures.
Some Of them undoubtedly are
slipping into the background. 9th
ers, however. are proving their COM
plete adaptability TO the new screen
art.
Laura La Plante, U~niversal's
popular blonde comedienne. has
proven to be an excellent talking
picture star. In fact. she is shin
ing with more brilliance than she
did on the silent screen. Not only
has she mastered diction and the
delivery Of dialogue, but she has
bloSsomed forth as a singer Of con-
siderable appeal and as an accom-
plished actress Of serious roles.
Her portrayal Of Magnolia IN
