Owning HOME IS
MANS FIRST DUTY
Waiting to Be Driven to Thrift
Shows the Spirit of a
Servant.
HOME OWNING MARK
OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Americans Undervalue Real Home,
Therefore Live and Die
Homeless Renters.

| So far as steady employment has to
do with the buying of home-and II
goes far-the American workingman
has now the chance of his life to get
that home. 1t is true that the cost OF
living is high. but one can live well. II
one is wise, for less than the present
average cost Of living. 1t is true that
the cost of building is high. but not
higher than it was twenty years ago
when measured by workmen's wages
There are unfortunate men who be-
cause of illness or misjudgment have
been brought to the edge Of their pow
ers to make current income meet cur
rent expenses, but such men in this
country are the exceptions. The man
with steady work and a reasonable
wage can get the fund together neces-
sary to start home. The average
Garner today has no business to spend
as fast as he earns. This means the
average, not the exceptionally unfortu-
nate man.
Can Get a Home.
If this average man will convince
himself that the getting of a home IS
the biggest and best material thing in
this world he can get that home he
will plan his earnings and expenses so
as to provide for a home building fund
1t costs nothing to start savings bank
account Everything placed in that &C
count draws interest from the day 1t Is
deposited. And it is safe. Nor IS IL
idle. The worker therefore does not
lack this help at least in getting TO-
htfi
All men without a home pay rent, pay
ii regularly and usually pay 1T prompt
ly. Insured men pay life insurance
premiums regularly and usually prompt
ly Men pay taxes regularly and prompt
ly. But comparatively few men pay
regularly and promptly into a savings
bank or a home building fund.
Must Force Thrift.
This is not remarkable. but it is de-
plorabIe 1t means that most men elect
to be forced to thrift. rather than to
force themselves to it. 1t means that
such men have the spirit of servants
and not that of self -employed men. We
do not have initiative because we do
not take it. Waiting to be told TO De
thrifty is one of the manifestations Of
a dependent spirit, spirit that makes
a nation poor-poor in pocket, poor IN
patriotism, poor in intellect. poor in &C
compIishment. 1t favors the accumula-
ton of wealth in a few large hands-a
condition of things that will destroy a
republic faster than any other known
cause.
1t is up to the people of this land to
quit thinking that present enjoyment
or present trouble is the main cause for
care. and that the future will care for
itself No man who thinks lightly of
the duty of owning home Is fully
fit citizen. He is a Stacker. He is
shouldering a part of his manifest task
onto his neighbor.
