ployees Of the service to organize, have
told the committee Of the wrongs
which they assert are done the EN-.
ployees. In q general way, the griev-
ance Of the employees is that men are
frequently dismissed for purely polit,

The biggest thing in any mans life
is his home. Il is the inspiration
and the center OF all his ambition, OF
all his hopes for success. Without a
home, a man Is a ship at sea without
a rudder A home gives a man a rea-
son for living. Every man Graves H.,
every man needs it.
And IN these days Il Is possible for
anyone who Is paying rent right along
10 save for himself the landlords
profit, and own his own home. There
are many landlords who are not only
making q living but growing wealthy,
Icy borrowing money, building houses
with It, and renting them TO people
who, if they renlizei 70, could, with ht.
tie effort, just as well build or bUy
homes for themselves. One hundred
dollars saved mp and paid down will
be accepted as first payment for
modorate-cost home IN almost any
town or city in the United States, and
viii start you on the road TO owner
ship. The rest always comes easier.
for there is now a constant incen-
tive TO added effort and thrift.
OF course, there should be reason in
this, as in other things. One should
not buy too expensive a place, any
more than he should attempt to show

pensive clothing. The more expen-
