In the matter of a home,
you work for the landlord
or for yourself. AS a rent
err. you work exclusively
for the landlord. AS a
home-buyer, you work
chiefly for yourself. Your

equity steadily until you

Totem poles, erected before Indian
dwellings, are frequently a history Of
the family itself, capped by the tradi-
tional beast or bird. For instance, q
bear may top a pole, and from there
down the pole may show grOtesque cary

is noted. Whatever the animal on the
top, il is q visible sign OF Indian mythOl-
Ogy, and all who are entitled to this
insignia are considered blood-relations.
An Indian might come from the ends OF
the earth, and If he could show that he
was entitled to a crow on his totem,
he would be received with open arms
by all Of the clan having this escutcheOn.

Later came q food that destroyed nearly
everything, and when the waters sub

on the land and formed new relations.
They still retained their heraldric sym
