From the right point Of view, the
idea that one cannot afford to buy a
home is a trifle ridiculous. Everyone
must own one some day, II one wants
to get ahead In the world, and free
holders are more respected and looked
up to than rent-payers. Their rent
money becomes a valuable asset in
stead of a tax. Own your own home
and lay the foundation for prosperity.

cause such a person had no oppor-

them of the fact that an Indictment

said, was sometimes a cruel thing"
and "besmirches the reputation Of q
