lere's no place like home.

There's no place like home.
That is an old song but a greater truth
There is a great difference between a home
owner and a renter.
The difference is as great as between the
land owner and tenant farmer.
The home owner pays taxes and insurance
but he pays no rent
The improvements he makes and the in
creases in value Of property are all his.
Banks and commercial clubs can do no better
service than to enable people to own their homes.
Build and own home are as vital ais get a
wife and raise family.
Families and home are the basis of our civ
stitutions.

TO Be EXPECTED

When American cities elect rank socialists

able publicity and the humiliation Of TIE kind
that that is deservedly dealt cut to Milwaukee
by Mayor Hoan Of that city, whose actions dur
ing the war were notorious and who has Just
made fool of himself by issuing a statement
insulting the beloved king and queen OF little
Belgium, who are making tour OF this country
to express their appreciation Of the aid America
gave to their stricken land
The Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce asked
the Belgian rulers to visit Milwaukee while on
their visit to the United States. Here is what this
"red,'' whose proper setting would be in Buasia5

please do not ask me to invite any
king, kaiser, or ear. The people Of Mil
waukee in choosing a mayor do not re-

"Did they not know that socialists
refused to hobnob with royalty before
my election?
'Whe mean no disrespect to the

courtesy to you, yet these are days that

equaled by the North Central and

COVER CROPS SOIL BUILDERS
Three south Carolina Farmers Coop.
Grating With County Agent
One Good Rotation.

To build up thin soil is problem
which demands the attention of the
county agent in Lexington county,
South Carolina. Three farmers in one
community are cooperating with him
by growing cover crops, and are con-
Quoting demonstrations extending over
several years. One Of these men, who
has been working on the subject for
five years, has followed this rotation
on one piece Of land:
Corn and velvet beans or cowpeas,
followed by small grain, followed by
cowpeas after grain has been harvest
ed. then crimson clover, or hairy vetch
and rye, followed by cotton or grain.
This rotation has been kept up until
the land, which was very thin, is now
producing one and one-half bales OF
cotton an acre.
