HOW OWNERSHIP OF HOME
HELPS THE MAN.

That the ownership OF ones home
helps a man considerably In the many
walks of life Is clearly demonstrated by
the fact that man gets more indus
trious and thrifty. for the natural An
clination Is to have a nice home. at
tractive grounds. and enjoy improve

Of which are characteristic In the gem

ably tho best way to study all phases
OF purchasing. l have known OF per-
sons that have followed my auction
sales for years before they have finally
purchased. Others purchased at their
first attendance. In most cases mans
wife accompanies him on the day Of
sale and most OF the bidding Is argu-
mented by the anxiety of the woman to
acquire the lot or plot being offered.
My best advice to those seeking n
home of their own Ia to study their
probable purchase carefully. and also
to get some responsible real estate man
as q guide. It will help a man In every
way to know that he Is the owner OF
his own home.

COLONEL IS CAUST|C
Says Taft Failed to Meet Live
Issues in Speech.
REMARKS AMUSE, HE ADDS
Calls 1t Negative. Conservative
Document and Says It Failed to
Catch Spirit of Times.

OYSTER BAY. y. Y. August o-Presi-
dent Taft failed, said Col. Roosevelt to-
day. to meet the live issues in his speech
accepting the republican presidential
nomination. The President confined him
self largely to conservative utterances
upon general questions, Col. Roosevelt
contended. and seemed to be afraid t.
commit himself upon the questions of the
hour, such as to the collection Of tolls
on the Panama canal.
The colonel said he was amused by
many of the Presidents remarks. such
as his statement that constituli liona
amendments are not work, and that ref
erendumS do not pay rent. He believed
that the speech was negative, conserva-
tive document. which failed TO catch the
spirit of the times.
