The Winning Essay
(By Mrs. Mary Nagle)

from the mans point of view: Any man that is
buying a home for his family is more interested in
keeping up that home than he is in clubs, lodges
and other social pleasures There is always some
thing to be fixed, or changed for the wife's COM
fort. The lawn has to be at least as well kept as
his neighbors, and garden must be planted and
cared for. These duties consume much time that
might be spent selfishly
For this reason think buying home binds
families together; and creates common purpose
and desire.
Then comes the feeling of the chdren's herit-
age A roof over their heads, should anything
happen to father or mother. The respect child
feels for its parents who have provided this pleas
ant place in which to live.
And them best of ALL the blessed shelter for
old age, when home, "be it ever so humble" is
the dearest spot on earth. 1t becomes haven of
rest from the cares of life where the evening of
life is the sweetest time of all

Another reason want to own my home is be-
