Mortgage money is cheaper today
than ever before In the history OF
the United States. Even the Co.
operative banks, which n We
charged six per cent ever since
their organization years ago, are
now loaning money at four per
cent. Moreover, the terms are
very much easier than ever be-
fore. During the years preceding
the last depression home mort
cages were written for from three
= five years as maximum. Now
the borrower can be accommodate
ed by mortgages written for 20
years, or perhaps even longer.
Cost of Building
Although it is much easier tC
borrow money today than during
prewar days, the cost of home
building now averages about so
per cent higher. However, the
carrying charges at four per cent
On a house costing $500 are no
greater, in total, than were the
carrying charges at six per cent
on house costing $4,000 in pre-
war days. Hence, this is : good
time to plan new home. Surely
the land should be purchased at
once.
The very fact that money rates
are very low and building costs are
high makes mortgages less at

There is great story abroad to the
effect that everybody has more money
now than ever before.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is
hunk of bunk.
There are some very sound figures
on this business of who has how much.
The cold, frizzling fact is that about
half the people have no cash reserves
Of any kind.
And the top 10 percent have about
80 percent of all the personal cash
reserves now floating around.

money than ever-or shall we play

dollars have to be paid out for the

There are perhaps many reasons

the job Of going through with the

down ancient barriers and protect

But, boys and girls, there's another
old saying about not having your cake,
all nice and pretty, while at the same
time mauling it with your molars.
Well, to get back to the starting

LAZY DAYS

These are the days of which we dream,
Lazy days beside stream
A box of lunch, romantic book,
A fresh-cut pole, aline and hook;
Sitting on bank beneath a tree,
Alone for day, or two or three;
Nothing to do but dig some bait,
Light up a pipe and lazily wait;
Doing awhile if we see fit
With no apology for it;
Not even single thought of work,
No one to care bit if we shirk;
Won't matter much what kind OF fish
Inhabit the stream, for all we wish
Is to get away from the toll and strife
And live for awhile lazy life.
