Don't Be a Sam MickIe
Real Estate Editor

In this last article OF the
present series on home owner
ship, we wish to leave with the
reader the thought that now is
an opportune time in which to
start. upon the purchase of a
home, because of the fact that
prices and terms are the most
favorable at the present time
than they have been for many
years, and it will not oe long
before higher prices will prevail
despite the fact that many peo-
pie are holding back and await
ing a still further reduction, as
mas always been the case dur
ing adverse times. Let us turn
back to the days of Benjamin
FRANKLIN and quote from him:
There are croakers in every
country, always boding its ruin.
Such a one lived in ohiladel-
phia; a person of note, an
elderly man with a wise look
and a very grave manner of
speaking; shis name was Samuel
Mickle.
This gentleman, a stranger
to me, stopped one day at my
door and asked if 1 was the
young man who had lately
opened new printing house.
Being answered in the af-
firmatiVe. he said he was sorry
for me, because it was an ex-
pensive undertaking, and the
expense would be lost. for
Philadelphia was a sinking
place, the people already half
bankruptS or near being so,
all appearances to the contrary,
such as new buildings and the
rise of rents. being to his GER
tain knowledge fallaciouS, for
they were, in fact, among the
things that would soon ruin us.
And he gave me such a detail
Of misfortuneS now existing,
or that were soon to exist, that
he left me half melancholy.
Had I known this before en-
gagged in business, probably I
never should have done it.
This man continued to live
IN this decaying place, and to
disclaim in the same strain.
refusing for many years to buy
q house there, because all was
going to destruction, and at
last I had the pleasure of see
ing him GIVE FIVE TIMES
AS MUCH FOR ONE as he
might have bought it for when
he first began his croaking."
And today, as in Franklin's
time, we have the same
"croakers," who keep telling us
that the country is fast going
to ruin, and they would not buy
anything at the present time.
They may not pay five times as
much for a home when they do
buy one, but they are bound to
pay much more than the asking
price today.
OWN YOUR HOME
Select it carefully, and you will
find that you can obtain it at
price and upon terms that will
net you handsome profit with
in a very few years if you care
to sell it.

EDDIE TOLAN GAINS JUST
REWARD.

Eddie Tolan rates the reams of
praise being bestowed upon him by
newspaper men covering the Olympic
games. The great little Negro sprin-
ter was regarded as pretty much of a
has-been when the athletes of Amer
lisa began preparing for the inter-
national meet. A veteran of a num-
Der of strenuous campaigns, it was
the belief of track and field exprts
that he had burned himself out, and
lacked the stamina to compete against
such up and coming sprinters as Met
calfe, Wykoff, Kisl and TOPPING.
Moreover, Eddie was beset with
financial worries and compelled to do
his training at odd hours because of
working at various jobs in ordr to
raise funds to carry on his education
at the University of Michigan. En-
lowed with spirit that could not be
conquered, Tolan smiled grimly at all
his problems and grittily stuck to his
determination to realize his ambition
of winning much coveted Olympic
championship. He had failed in 1928,
and regarding this as his last oppor-
tunity, the courageous and ambitious
little Negro overcame many obstacles
in his efforts to win this year. Being
without sufficient money to defray
transportation expenses Tolan per-
suaded a friend to drive him to the
final tryouts at Palo Alto where he
qualified for the United States team.
To achieve his ambition, Tolan knew
he had to beat fellow Negro, Ralph
Metcalfe, hailed by American coaches
as one of the greatest sprinters the
world has ever known. Eddie was
conceded slight chance of winning
from Metcalfe in the 100 meters, but
1t was the consensus of the experts,
including Lawson Robertson, head
coach, that the husky Marquette Ne
gro was sinch to romp off with the
200 meters. But, Tolan being a great
runner and an equally great compe-
titive athletes showed Metcalfe, and
his old rival, George Simpson of Ohio
State, the way home in both spirits,
along with exhibiting his fleet heels
to the fastest field of sprinters ever
assembled from IL ofreign countries.
We doff our hat in admiration to
Eddie Tolan, one of the Quickest ath-
letes this country has ever known"

Nature Surprises the Chileans
Ill winds have been known to blow

hear of volcano Spouting anything
but disaster, once it goes into action.
The recent eruption of five Andean
peaks in Chile was reported to have
laid waste hundreds of square miles
Of towns and countryside under a
blanket Of volcanic dust several inches
thick. Such catastrophe added to
the prevailing economic distress,
BODIED i'll for the inhabitants until it
was discovered that mother earth had
blessed them with a shower of gold
instead Of ashes.

the tax burden to the liquor trade or
eliminating expenditures for enforcing
the present law.
Second in importance of the new
wet arguments is that based on moral
considerations. Some wet advocates
say they do not care to rear their
children in the atmosphere which pro-
hibition has created. They lay the
social excuses and the general loose
ness which has developed since the
World War to the influences stimulat-
ed by the dry law. Chief among the
opponents of this theory in North Da-
kota, perhaps, will be w. D. Lynch,
Democratic candidate for congress.
He expounded this idea at some length
In his speech at New Rockford In
which he promised to give the people
an opportunity to repeal prohibition II
elected to office.
OF the two arguments, the former
probably will be more effective in get
ting votes but the latter is more sig
nificant. There was a time in this
country when no one dared to publicly
challenge the morals of the prohibit
ton question. That leading public
man now dares to do so shows that the
forces supporting the dry law have
slipped backward since the days when
street-corner orators pointed to near
by saloons as dens Of vice and in
iquity.
This may be due to the flood Of
natural and otherwise,
which has been directed against the
prohibition law or to a changed atti-
tude on the part Of the public.
Whatever the reason, it seems clear
that prohibition has it's back to the
wall and will face the severest test, in
the history of this state if the matter
is brought to a vote next fall.
