PEOPLE WHO WANT HOMES
sHoULp "eUlLp Now"


Newport News should be Interested
in the campaign which is being waged
by the American Lumbermen, which
paper has for several months been en-
deavoring to show that every man
should own his home and that the
time to build is'"NOW." Probably
there IL no city OF its size in the Unit
ed states where so few citizens own
their homes rs in Newport News. Go
along any street upon which well
known people, business men, profes-
sional men or highly paid craftsmen
live and you will find that great
majority of these men rent the houses
in which they live. And further in
quiry will reveal the fact that large
number of the homes are owned by
people living In distant parts of the
country; people who are Interested
in Newport News only for wnat they
get out Of It.
Possibly this condition is largely
responsible for the lack Of civic pride
OF which Newport News is so often
properly accused. When n man Is
actually settled in community he
REGARDS the place rs his home ana
every man worth while Is willing L"
do something for his home. or
course there are many people who
look upon Newport News as their
home and make loyal. useful citizens.
but who are not in position TO own
real estate. There are others who
have no large incomes and who have
built and paid for their homes by dint
Of saving and working with that end
in view for years. On the other hand
there are only two many able TO buy
homes who go on from year to year
paying rent and. probably. thinking
and speaking Of some city hundreds OF
niles distant as home"
Granting that II is advisable for n
man to own his home, the American
Lumberman's slogan build now
seems to be worthy OF serious consid-
GRAFTON. After making a careful and
thorough canvass through corrcspon-
dents located In all parts ot the coun-
try. the Inmberman is able to present
facts and figures in support of its con-
tention that nov is the time OF all
times for the man or woman who
would own q home 20 invest.
In the FIRST place. the cost OF luM-
Der and all other building material is
much cheaper than IL has been in a
long time. Then. when the panic
began las, spring. building operations
throughout the country practically
ceased. as a resui, almost an entire

This brings the prices down and
