desire for growth and Improvement
without sacrificing Americas great
need for permanent homes.
For the lack of homes is one of
Americas fundamental weaknesses.
1t goes hand in hand with our lack of
family pride, and this breeds inevita-
bly, lack Of civic pride.
Community pride follows the love Of
home as surely as fine growth follows
rich planting. And community pride
dies where there is no community of
interests.
The great complaint against the
average suburban town is that it lacks
interest in itself. You can't get the
merchants and the townspeople to CO.
operate to any extent.
And the stores are poor and the sub
urban population is shifting and unre-
liable.
Doesn't this apply as well to the
towns given over to mail order buying?
Do you want your town, the towH in
which you have started your home, to
thrive and improve? Well, it won't
thrive and improve unless the trades
people in your town are getting and
giving a fair deal. Mail order buying
turns your town into a suburb Of
great city mail order house. 1t Is TAX
ing out of your town the life blood, the
circulation of which nourishes your
home as well as those of your neigh
bors. 1t doesn't pay. That is why I'm
glad The Delineator has excluded mail
order announcements from the adver-
Using columns. 1t has removed from
our readers homes powerful tempta-
ton to buy away from home

However, a number Of the agttators,
headed by J. F. Schuirmann, held a
small meeting later, on Ash street,
but no attempt was made to organize

peared as the leader Of the Peace
party. He was firmly informed by
the officials that the scheduled meet

clustered around little while the Of
nciaIs were reading the law TO him,
but he made no attempt to disooey
the order. He had arranged for
session at Ramey hall originally, but
the owners of the building cancelled
the contract when they learned the

then was rented. Schuirmann had
made all plans for the session and
confidently expected to hold 1t until
