owning his home, he spends money
in identifying and improving the
inside by buying furniture and
equipment Some of the larger de-

closely with the Federal Housing

rest of the house by installing all
modern improvements.
THE sleepers on the trains are
always taken and, in order to get
lower berth, one must make re-
servation a couple days in advance.
There are very few signs in the
smaller cities of unemployment.
However, there is always a typical
person who cannot find job. This
Is due to the fact that if he found
a job he would not want it. That
fellow would rather join the relief
than do a days honest work Many
men in the Pacific Northwest are
very much freer in their praises of
the President. This is due to the
fact that they think his pump
printing has brought about the
much needed release of money"

Charles Waynor, who made the
flight to Seattle and return to Jul

south.

feeling between working men and
capital Although labor's pay has
been increased per hour, the pay en-
velop is much smaller as the hours
per week are fewer.
There is a better feeling among
all people, considering that the
worst is now over and that Roose-
welt will be the candidate next cleo
ton, whether he wants to or not;
and if he does not want to, they will
draft him This, of course, has the
effect of making him bring about
an era of better times. Most of the
department stores have taken on
extra help, and, in going through
the bigger stores l found people buy
ing larger and better merchandise.
OF course, credit is extended on a
larger scale today, but this is open
only to the person who has taken
advantage in the past of paying
his bills promptly, this likewise with
the different banks and borrowing
agencies. If past records show that
one has paid promptly, the lending
agencies will extend every effort
to make a deal.

plane factories and some of the very
large factories are already swamped
with orders which they cannot fill
for several months to come. There
is a great benefit derived from the
governments agencies pouring in
this vast amount of money. The
people realize that they now may
own their own homes by a mere
Investment of ten percent of the
cost of the building and property,
or, in other words, the working man
has come to his senses that, instead
of having a lot of rent receipts, he
can invest that money in his own
