OWNING YOUR HOME
IN BRIhKLEY
Scarcity of Homes in BrinkIey
Seriously Handicap Our
Citizenship. Build Your
Own Home.

The Brinkley man who sits
down and figures out cold
bloodedly whether it is cheaper
to own a home or to pay rent,
doesn't understand what a
home is. With many people it
may be necessary for them to
rent. Circumstances may be
such that it is impossible for
them to own a home, although
this is more seldom the case
than one imagines. But where
one could own a home if he de-
sired, and where he refuses to
do so because he believes he
can save a few dollars by rent
ing-well, such a person really
doesn't know how to live.
There's a lot of satisfaction in
possession and a lot of Joy in
feeling that the premises on
which you live are your own.
There is something about own
ing a home which cannot be
written down on paper-a salts
faction that pays a dividend
every hour of the day.
Real estate is still the cheap
est thing we have in this Coun-
try and it has not kept pace
with other things in advancing
price. There is hardly a piece
of property in Brinkley, or in
Monroe County, for that mat
ter, that will not be worth
more in five years than it is at
this time. One can hardly make
a mistake in buying property.
no matter where it is located.
The security of the investment
considered, and the certainty of
advancing prices of real estate.
ought to be sufficient to induce
hundreds who have never
thought of owning a home to
make strenuous efforts to get
hold of a piece of property
sometime in the near future.
Of course we need an organ
ization of our Brinkley folk
into Home Building Town
Let's have it.

That reservation enuneiates the right OF the United
stntey to withdraw from the league any time a
current resolution to that effect adopted by the two
houses OF and that the question whether
this government has discharged Its full international
obligations under tho league shall be determined by
the United States alone
This reservation leaves the matter Of membership In
the league solely In the hands of the peoples repressn
tatves In the prsident eyon having nothing
whatever. to do with concurrent resolution. Tho at
tempt OF administration forces to amend the reservation
