Pertinent Question.

The following article appeared in
the Elma Chronicle, as communities
ton from r. J. Mooney. It is so pert
inent to the situation, not only in
Elma but in every community in Ma
son county, that it will bear repeti-
ton:
1t has been my lot recently to travel
much, and to meet with very many OF
the people seeking homes in other
places. They seem to have caught
what is popularity termed "the fever. "
Now, as friend to all persons who
are thinking of moving from this place,
or any other place where reader OF
this paper may live, let me advise you
to ask yourself these questions and
calmly think them over before actual
ly making up your mind in the mat
ter, and be sure you are able to give
satisfactory answers to them:
1st-Where are you going to?
2nd-Has it been proven to you be-
yond peradventure that you will be
better off there, if you make the same
kind of an effort here that you are de-
termined to make in the new place
ard to practice the same kind of econ
omy here that you promise yourself to
practice in the place which seems to
attract you?
3rd-Have you counted the COS; of
breaking up your home, of paying
travelling expenses and the expenses
incident on going to new places to live?
4th-Remember the class known as
land boomers are not all dead yet.
They are alive and armed with all the
newer and more seductive arts which
experience has given them.
1t is out Of reason that one-half of
the men are going now to the various
places which are attracting so much
newspaper notoriety can find employ
ment. Remember the I'D adage,
"Distance lends enchantment," is just
as true now as when first uttered.
There never was time in the history
of the country when you could secure
home cheaper than at present and
right here in Elma. Remember that
the cost of moving your family 200
miles will almost purchase YOU home.
Then, my friend, find a home, plant
garden, provide yourself with a dozen
hens, pig, a COW, and then settle
down to life to the tune of the good
old motto, "Root hog or die" Every
real home make makes it easier for
every other home maker.
