FIND YOUR HOME HER..

The greatest desire of the human
heart is to own home, and yet how
few of the millions of our land own
the roof that shelters them, and the
fault is not theirs. How can the la.
borer, the mechanic, the man who
works for a small salary, or the small
tradesman ever hope to own that
which they most desire, unless they
move to a more favored locality where
the opportunities are greater and the
competition in their respective lines
is less? Away from the influences of
strikes and labor disturbances to II
land where peace and plenty reign
supreme and where each man is a
king among kings. To country OF
sunshine, fruits and flowers, where
nature smiles upon the Industrious
and where wealth crowns the efforts
of all those who labor.
All over the eastern and central por-
ton OF our land thousands are looking
with discontinued faces at the unsat-
isfactory and unsettled conditions Of
affairs and the respondent prospects
for the future. In older communities
of the east all trades are over crowded
and existing avenues are filled; all re-
sources fully developed, and to the
head OF a growing family the prospect
OF pleasant home and a prosperous
future for his children give rise to
many gloomy reflections. He has seen
the chosen home of his early manhood
develop from wilderness through all
the stages of modern progress; he has
helped to organize society, build
churches, schools and factories; he
has seen one door after another open
and new ideas take the place of the
old order; and as the man OF fifty
years OF age allows his m emory to turn

thoughts will come the other: Is
there yet place, country, where
the development of new empire will
give to coming generation a field for
successful effort, where it is not too
late to lay for his children the founda-
ton OF plenty and comfort; place
where he can make for himself a
home i'll which to pass his declining
years IN peace and plenty, surrounded

Not single wordr said Young

Young Morris then read over the notice

counsel to resist the motion. ON April
