BUILDING HOMES


The Dispatch promised to have
nothing more to say about building
houses in Cordele, but new side of
that question has come to mind and
that side affects another class of peo-
pie different from those we appealed
TO in other efforts to secure more
houses in Cordele. 1t need not be de-
MED that the housing problem is real
and pressing. All that, too, despite
the fact that we are in section
where building material generally
cost less than in other sections They
are very extremely high compared
with what we paid in normal times but
should we assume that they are 20
ing to be very much lower? By wait
ing do we not lose more than we will
gain should prices drop? This must
be considered
Now we make an appeal to another
class, the home owner. Let us see if
we can instill interest in that direc-
ton.
Somewhere in the heart of every
man is the desire to be Independent
dent. independence is the measure
of ones standing in the community.
The first step along the road to in
dependence is to own ones home.
The man who owns his own home is
the respected, the trusted man in
every community.
One of the largest employers of
labor in the country ordered a can
vass of his factories to determine
what percentage of his employees
owned their own homes At the same
time he urged all employees in the
establishment to become home own
ers or home buyers.
Sound logic prompted this action.
The responsible man is the valuable
employee. The Home owner has
deeper sense of civic pride He is es-
tablished he is responsible; he is in
terested in everything that tends to-
ward the peace and security and up
building of the community.
The example set by one manufAc-
turer will be followed by others. II
will daily become more. requisite to al
mans securing responsible employ
ment that he Owns His Own Home.
There is little excuse for man not
owning his own home. The great
Liberty Loans have instilled into the
American people lessons of thrift
that will endure through the coming
day of peace. Eveyr man can and
should own his own home.
There is no appeal from the man
who seeks a position that is treated
so lightly, by private ana pubic en-
ployer alike, as the appeal which
comes from the man who has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose.
The Independent Man always Owns
His Own Home

ONE WORD FOR eURLesoN

Burleson will never be popular
so long as the present zone rate
on second-class mail prevails. The
metropolitan newspapers and the
national magazines have decided,
it seems, to run him out of the ca
binet. 1t appears that there is a
nationwide campaign of publicity
now being carried out designed
to get Mr.. Burleson's goat The
big newspapers like to brag about
their 100000 and 100000 daily
circulations. but they are show
ing their unwillingness to pay a
reasonable transportation rate
On such papers as go beyond their
confines, -Commerce Observer.
If there is one thing the aver
age newspaper, daily or weekly
ought to sustain the postmaster
general in. it is his efforts to
maintain zone postage rates. The ,
big newspapers want to national
ize themselves at the expense of :
the postal department. Not over
ten per cent of the newspapers of
the country are affected material
ly by the zone postal rate system

cent to have the system in opera

changes that were made necessary

could do, No human being under the

newspaper owes in postage under the

sum quite generally discussed as likely
to be adopted, having been agreed upon

the treaty was drawn as the amount
Germany probably could pay.
While Premier Clemenceau and this
other French leaders insist that there
must be no changes in principle in the
treaty. the proposed alteration with re-
gard to reparation is believed to be re-
garded by them as a change in detail
to which they are willing to agree SO
that the treaty may be made more
workable and the raising Of the great
loans necessary to the restoration OF the
war worn countries be facilitated.
