1t would have been a good thing if
that soldier would not have had those
worries, but since it couldn't be
helped, why couldn't the folks surprise
him by having home all their own to
welcome him into. His face would ex-
press his feelings and his folks would
be more than repaid. -eE'+
The large number of families who
own their homes in town or city the
greater that town or city will become
and the more trade the merchants will
have. Because families who own their
homes naturally keep their grounds in
good condition, thus identifying the
city. This will attract tourists who
will stop over and of course do a GER
tain amount of trading. In this way
the owner of home is helping the
city.
The last noints but pot the least, in
favor of every family owning a home
is that the price OF lumber is going
down. Now that the war is over, at
least for time, the lumber companies
can supply the peopel with more and
better lumber as well as other neces-
stiles for building home, at lower
price,
so. get your plans ready for that
home-be 1t cottage,
large or small garage Or in fact any
kind of a structure, and start to build
at once. The pleasure and comforts
you will derive from your own home
will more than pay you and your fam
lily in after years-and then don't for
get that the Stewart Lumber company
is ready to supply you with all your
building material at money-saving
prices.

PALMER URGES
MORE DRASTIC
ANTI-RED Law
Radical Organizations Find
Propaganda Among Negroes
Fertile Field, Justice Depart
ment Head Declares.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The growth of
radicalism throughout the country was
attributed to the inadequacy of fed
eral laws against preaching violent
overthrow of the government, Attorney
Generl Palmer declared tonight, re-
plying to the senate's recent inquiry
as to what action had been taken by
the department of justice to curb ef-
forts to establish a dictatorship OF
the proletariat.
Palmer urged the passage of a new
law to take the place of the espionage
act when it ceases to be effective.
Activities of the foreign language
press have been a problem which they
We're unable to meet successfully.
Palmer also said that practically
all radical organizations Of the coun-
try regard the negro race a fertile
field for their doctrine. He warned
that a propaganda had been success
full in many respects and the govern
ment should guard against trouble in
that direction. Some publications
printed especially for negroes. he said,
had been particularly insolent and
their attitude was traceable directly
to the leaders of radical groups and
not infrequently to citizens of this
country who turned against the gov
ernment.

Advance of About Thirty Per
Cent With More Liberal AL
lOwances for Families Prom
ised by Committees.
FIRST INCREASE
SINCE ROOSEVELT
Cost of Living Has Doubled
Since Nations First Line of
Defence Received Increase
Many Would Leave Service.
(BY GEORGE II. MANNINe.)

Washington, D. c., Nov. 15.-
Brought face to face with the rapid
decay of the eonntry's first line of de-
fense. congress is going to increase
the pay of the officers and enlisted
men of the American navy as quickly
as possible. Substantial increases all
along the line are imperatively neces-
sary to prevent wholesale desertions
and designations that. if continued but
a short while longer, will leave the
navy with plenty of magnificent war
ships of all kinds but with only Of
ficers and men enough to operate but
a few of them.
The pay of the line officers is to be
increased about 80 per cent and more
liberal allowances are to be given for
the support of their families; the war
rant officers are to be given material
ly increased wages. and the pay of the
petty officers is to be increased to an
even higher percentage than that Of
the two higher grades.
The pay of the enlisted men will
likely not be Increased above the pres
ent minimum rate of s32.50 a month.
but liberal increases will be made in
to the higher grades after four months
of service.
Congress fully recognizes the very
serious situation facing the navy.
whose ranks are being rapidly depict
ed through officers and men leaving
the service in great numbers to ac-
cept greatly increased remuneration
from private employers.
Secretary Daniels, Rear Admiral T.
J. Cowie of the navy pay corps and
other navy officials have appeared be-
fore the house naval committee in the
past two weeks and unanimously urg-
ed in the strongest terms that con-
gress give liberal pay increases.
Admiral Sowie solemnly warned the
naval committee that the morale of
the navy is going to crack and that
it will be impossible to retain enough
officers and men to man half the ships
unless generous increases are granted.
He urged that the pay of officers be
increased about 80 per cent and that
of the enlisted men about so per cent.
These are the percentages of increase
provided in the Stiness bill upon
which the committee is working
The pay of the officers of the navy
has not been increased since 1908, al
though it is generally agreed that liv-
ing costs have doubled since then. The
minimum pay of the enlisted men has
been increased from SIS to $3.50 per
month in the past years, but this is
said not to be sufficient to meet pres
ent day conditions.
The officers and their families are
in serious plight. Secretary Dam

tions of navy officers. He has de-
clined to accept them. however, anticf-
