Home Owner Best Citizen.

M uctl mas been sald and written
about the advantages Of owning a
home. Bat there are certain
phases of home ownership that
sometimes are overlooked
They have to do chiefly with
tthe relation that exists between
the home owner and the commun-
ity in which he lives; with the
greater possibilities for good
citizenship afforded the home
owner.
The first requisite Of the family
Is an abiding place, But that
place is not necessarily a home.
The word can not he applied to
quarters temporarily occupied,
whether it be a house or a hotel
A home must have n measure of
permanency.
Take the average. American
family, with the average income:
That income is not sufficient to
cover all the luxuries that tempt
the average man or woman. But
how greatly the purchasabIe lux
uries and convoniences are reduced
if rent day takes third or a
fourth Of the monthly mcconnell
By the expenditure of that
monthly toll to the landlord.
1t may be said that the money
paid for rent goes into circulation
and benefits the community as
greatly as does the money spent
for other things, bnt the reason
ingis false. The average family that
owns it's home will save. 1t will
become independent of salary,
wages or other precarions income
and thus will establish per
manent buying power that the
renting family seldom has.
From the standpoint of the
community there can be no CUES
tion that the homeowner, by the
very permanency of his residence
aud the enhanced credit end
standing he enjoys therefrom,
makes a far more desirable citizen
than the transient renter.
Go to any merchant and ask
him to extend your credit. As,
|sume that you Hre n person of
moderate resources. Tell the
merchant you own your home and
see how quickly you get what you
ask. Bnt try another merchant
and tell him you do not own your
home. You will note, quickly
enough, the caution with which
he proceeds.
Every man ought to have some
ambition. The man who "makes
good always has his share. And
that ambition ought to bend
toward good citizenship, which
means, among other things the
accumu Iation Of enough property
to afford reasonable financial stab
iIity. The ownership of a home
lis the first step in The process.
Philadelphia is and long has
been KNOWN as the foremost home
city in America
Chief among the considerations
that present themselves to the av
erage family is the influence of
the home on children. Living in
n small town or big city, the effect
is the same. The spirit Of pride
in the home and famiIy-is one of
the strongest elements in character
building-is fostered and en-
hanoed only when there is a real
home, permanent home, and one
that children can regard as "our
home"
Home ownership has its markell
on the public affairs of
the community. The man who
owns no property is apt to show
an interest in public stfairs pro-
portionate to his investment. He
cares little whether taxes are high
or low, whether public funds are
guarded zealousIy or wasted;
whether honest, capable men hold
office or whether the peoples bus.
mess is administered by thieves.

New Telephone Company.

Farmers Telephone 20. Wniie moi
IsoaIIy disincorporated as yet, Ii
S more in charge of the local tel.
snheues. The new organization
gss effected last Friday, with of,
ecars and directors as follows
President, 8. NJ. G. Reynolds
s,cs.presi lent, J. A. Fenton; sec.
,atarg. /. $. Rice; treasurer.
" W. Groves; general manager
I L. Waggoner These with
clsm Hedges and Henry Taylor
compose the board Of directors.
This is the elimination of eff.
forts made for several weeks to ad-
inst the telephone proposition,
and means that the local people
by increasing the stock from
10000 to $4,000 will put some
nav blood and more money in the
business, thus securing the local
control. Beftre the Long Dis
lance Independent Co. at Boise
owned a little more than half the
voting stock, but by reorganiz-
alton and selling more stock, they
overcome this and keep the con
troll here.
The Long Distance company
secured their stock originally by
furnishing supplies and granting
the use of the toll line to Boise.
The local company claim a four
year franchise, OF up to the end of
the year 1915, that they have use
Of the toll line to Boise. During
that time the business can be run
ata profit, and even if they do
have to sacrifice the business then
to the Bell company, they think
il is better than to sell at a frac-
ton of the value of the stock, as
the Boise Independent has done.
1t will be recalled that in the
late sell out to the Bell the Mer-
idian company refused to go in
with the Boise people.
II looks to the Times as though
twas an effort of little stock
holders to keep from being
squeezed cut of their rights, and
they should certainly be encour-
aged in their effort. 1t seems that
in this reorganization, the local
people scored one point at least.
All the old stockholders secured
stock of similar value in the new.
Homer Tolleth. who has been the
faithful manager of the Farmers
Independent company for ten
years, and who has seen the bus
mess grow from sixteen to 800
phones, has retired from active
connection with the company, and
John Waggoner takes his posi-
ton.
Speaking of the new company
the Boise Statesman of last Satur-
day says:
The Meridian Independent
telephone company which was in.
corporated yesterday has pur-
chased the business and equipment
OF the Meridian Farmers Inde-
pendent telephone company.
It was stated yesterday that at a
recent meeting OF shareholders of
'ne Farmers company it was de-
eldsd to sell or exchange the stock
IN That organization for stock in
some other telephone company
operating in or near Meridian.

Supulpa okla, March 2S,-Carl
Morris the Oklahoma white hope"
climbed step nearer the champion
ship here this afternoon by knocking
out Mike Schreck of Cincinnati In the
sixth round Of scheduled fifteen
round bout A hard right hook to
Schreck's jaw after the sixth round
had gone one minute and two seconds
ended the battle. The Cincinnati man
fell heavily to the canvass and was
counted out by Referee Edward W.
Cochrane.
There was never moment after the
first round was a minute old that the
result was in doubt Morris completely
outclassed his opponent The exen-
gineer rushed Schreck about the ring
at will and landed almost as he
pleased. He showed in this fight that
he could battle with both hands
Heretofore his work with the left has
been slow.
Sohreck made a poor showing, he
landed less ,han "A half dozen clean
blows on Morris. None of them car
ried force enough to cause the Ok
lahoma "hope" any great worry
A Hight rain was falling when the
gates Of the arena were opened at
Q o'clock and the crowd began filing
in. It did not appear however that
the rain would interfere with the fight
Hundreds Of sporting celebrities gath
cred from all parts Of the country
were In attendance. More than 5000
reserved seats had been engaged when
the ticket officers at the arena opened.
The general admission tickets were not
placed on sale until today. From all
appearances It seemed the total at
tendance numbered $1,000.
There was practically no betting Mt
the rlngsdc. Morris money was Of
fercd In abundance. hut no hackers
for Schreck could be found. The pre-
vailing odds were to on Morris to
win, A few small bets were placed at
2 to / on Schreck's ability TO last five
rounds.
On account Of t't rain # was decid-
ed O. dispense with the prelminaries
and stage the main battle as soon as
possible. While the crowd was filing
into the arena small section of seats
on the west.side OF the ring fell throw
ing a few people to the grown.
II was a noisy audience that await
ed the beginning OF the fight. Humid
rods Of cowboys, dressed IN the garb
Of the plains, occupied the ring side
seats. There being no ban placed on
noise they gave way to their enthus-
iasm Several Indians were in the
audience. Morris is himself a part
Cherokee and he has many friends
among the red men. Few Of the In
dams had ever attended a prize fight,
and their local pride made them anx.
ious-for the battle to begin.
Hundreds OF railroad employees who
knew Morris when he was an engineer
and had no aspirations for the crown
of Jack Johnson mingled with the
throng They brought with them
boil from the engine that Morris was
-running when he made his last trip.

near the press box and rung when

minutes. Time was called at 1850
