Stressing the ease with which
homes may be built or bought under
government insured “mortgage financing, it was said’ that the. program
was launched to combat the current
house’ shortagie Tfoblem which is
menacing development of many rapidly growing communities in the district.
Under the Federal Housing Administration system of insured mortgage financing, it was pointed out
that homes may be acquired on the
monthly rent-like terms.
gs 2 many instances clear title to
a lot is sufficient to start the thrifty
investor on his way to home ownership,’’ West declared. ‘‘He may start
by establishing an equity as small
as 20 per cent, after which the government will insure a mortgage for
the remaining 80 per cent, at five
per cent simple interest, and allow

Little Homes
Only a gate but it often spoke
To those who passed on the shady street;
Telling a story of thrift and pride—
This little gateway so trim and neat.
A pathway, led to the oaken door—
A pathway bordered by radiant flowers;
And many paused for a moment there,
Forgetting the stress of insistent hours.
Only a house under verdant trees,
With nothing of granduer to awe or command,
. But it sheltered gentle, home loving hearts
Attuned to the dearest joys of earth;
Fashioned and fitted to our desires,
Who can determine their ultimate worth?
From a humble home, unknown to fame,
Through the opened door and ‘the little gate,
With a gift to the world for which men wait.
Precious indeed are the little homes,
Guard and tend them with loving care;
Dream of them fondly through hours of toil:
in your evening prayer.

Roistering, bullyragging, lumberjacketed he men of the woods have
been the subject of many woods stories. The antithesis
of this we discovered in a peaceful
clearing back of
the Hoge mine
about 6 miles from
Nevada City. Here
in a peaceful sunbathed clearing of
big pyoportions,
we found an up to
date ;sawmill with
all of -the noises
like the zing and
the ring of the big blade as it reduced the giant timber monsters to sawdust and siding. There was no roistering, no fighting, just a gang of
men doing their job of making lum4
ber piles look tidy and piling the
sawdust thigher and ‘higher. When
the dinner bell sounded all activity
ceased in a repressed duck for the
mess hall, but it takes more description than I can command to describe
the Arbogast lumber mill at Blue
Tent. This sawmill in the woods, is

no sewing circle these woodsmen are
attending. Even with labor saving
devices such as one sees there. The
big circular saw is the most demanding inanimate thing, huge logs are
its fodder and as these are reduced
to the least common denominators
of boards and heavier timbers they
must be taken away immediately,
the whole procedure is most interesting and the thing which makes it interesting is that it so suddenly
looms before you as you are traveling along an obscure mountain road,
The big commodious ranchhouse surrounded by ,beautiful flowers, shrubbery and spacious lawn, adds a domestic touch to the picture.
