Why Own Your Home?

Home ownership gives a stability
Ithat cannot be realized by the renter.
1t inspires the owner to vigor in his
daily work. He wants his garden to
be more attractive, his porches to be
pleasanter, because they are his and
he alone is responsible for them.
And more than that, he has a civic
spirit that makes him a better citi-
zen. AS he pays his taxes he realizes
his partnership in the community.
And when he mows his lawr, it must
often occur to him that he does it not
alone for himself, but for all on his
street. His example is copied by his
neighbor, and by his neighbor's
neighbor, and all benefit.
AS rents have advanced during the
last two or three years, home owners
frequently have had reason to con-
graduate themselves that they are
largely independent Of rising costs.
There was once a time when the gen.
eralization was often heard that at
is cheaper to rent than to own"
This never was true save in strictly
financial sense, and then only locally
and temporarily. But now It is true
In no way. Never has the home own
er more truly come into his kingdom.
Home ownership, adds to a familys
celf-esteem. 1t affords constant rea-
sen for saving, inspires with earnest
community spirit, and adds joy TO
life. Home ownership is practical
thrift-Pittsburg Sun.

covenant, be ratified without delay,

straw" vote of the students and fac

all parts OF the country oYerwhelm-

The demand of the Nationwide

CARNATIONS served upon the Senate
is FOR ratification by compromise, up
on re best possible basis obtainable;
and the returns from the Straw"
votes OF the personnel of the Ameri-

preponderantly expressive of the.
same desire, the number of votes
against ratification being negligible.
This represents the voice and the
will of the people of America.
1t is high time that the Senate
were awakening to the fact that the
American masses are Interested in
this thing, and that their welfare is
1T stake, And the sooner it gets down
to business and ratifies the treaty

A. L. Norris, vice president of the
Norris Candy Company, and wife, of
Atlanta, Ga, were visitors to Punta
Gorda this week. Unfortunately, Mr..
Norris was compelled to make his
visit brief on account of business
that requires his attention. We
would have been glad if he could
have stayed longer, for the longer one
stays in Punta Gorda the better they
like the place. 1t has an undefinable
charm for those who care not for the
froth of some Of our more pretentious
resorts, and we are glad that Mr..
Norris found it so delightful that he
will come again next year. Punta
Gorda will welcome him and his
Atlanta friends as winter visitors or
permanent residents.

ENGLISH EDITOR COMPLIMENTS
cox AND HARDING

Robert Donald, chairman of the
Empire Press Union and former ed
itor of the Daily Chronicle, OF Lou
don, England, commenting upon the
American nominations, said: That
the highest political Office in the
world should be occupied by a news
paperman is compliment to the
profession in every country. Both
Cox and Harding are fine types of
American citizenship, who have
risen to the top of a profession in
which actual hard work and merit
alone count. The press is the most
powerful force in modern life, and
the men who make it should be
able to win the highest honors their
country can give. The next Presi-
dent, whether his name be Cox OF
Harding, will be held in great es-
TEEN by Journalists as a man who
won the highest honor for their
craft"

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON APP
PRAISES PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES

Political Washington is really the
most non-political city in the United
States, and the near-up view of pub
lie men reveals their personal char
acteriSticS and tastes to residents of
the Capital in a manner very SINH
lar to that by which residents of a
large or small city discover the per-
fections or imperfections of Mayors,
Aldermen and Supervisors. The
mere fact that a man is member
of one party or another gets him no.
where in Washington-but he may
be Democrat, Republican, or have
a common garden variety of politi-
cal ideas, and if he has the goods
on him" he will be given full credit
for his abilities. In truth, Washing
ton is alert to discover the common
place, the unusual, the constructive,
the conservative, the radical, and
all other qualities that distinguish
craftsmanship. Under this human
microscopic lens there is revealed
the true human qualities of the
leaders in National thought. Of the
nominees at the Chicago and San
Francisco conventions, all except
Governor Coolidge have been anal
yzed by the Capital City. And in
a spirit of absolute fairness, diyest-
ed Of bias or prejudice, it may be
said that Senator Harding, Cover
nor Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt
represent the highest type of man
hood known to public service. Gov
error Coolidge has not figured in
the Washington situation, and judg-
ment concerning him must be based
upon his record in New England.
But in Washington the three men
are known to everybody, and the
National Capital takes off its hat in
recognition of the splendid selection
Of candidates that have been chosen
as the standard bearers of the great
political parties.

PERENNIAL YOUTH

DR.. Eugene Fisk. President of the
Life Extension Institute of New
York has enumerated the theory that
it is within the bonds of science to
prolong human life to matter Of
1900 years. DR.. Fisk's interesting
speculation WAS delivered at the an
nual melting of the New York Med
ical Society. held on March %.
While admitting the prospect of
such d prolongation of life was
rather a terrible one, DR.. Fisk was
assured that the postponement of
middle and old age, and the doub-
ling and even trebling of the Ordi-
nary span of life: was not fantas-
tic idea. His opinion was based on
the successful achievements of sci
ence in stretching the life of the Or
binary fruit fly to 900 times its
usual length, and after citing ex-
amples of longevity exhibited by the
turtle and by various trees, he argu-
ed that youth is a physical state
and not a function of time" Old
age, said the doctor, was prema-
ture By eliminating the conditions
conductive to physical collapse it
would be possible to find a means
of performing for human beings
what is already performed for the
fruit fly. The probability OF sci
ence succeeding in prolonging life
10 1900 years was not very great.
as before that state of affairs came
to pass changed conditions may
abolish all life on the EARTH

Value of Youthful THINKING,

We are learning that the tabled
foundation OF youth lies in ourselves !;
is in our own mentality. Perpetual re-.
juvenation and renewal are possible
through right thinking. We look as
Old as We think and feel, because
thought and feeling maintain or change
our appearance i'm exact accordance
with their persistence or their vari-
atoms. 1t is impossible to appear
youthful and remain young unless we
feel young. Youthful thinking should
be life habit.-Orison SWEET Marden

"Sehopenhauer's Bible"

The "Oupnek-hat" is a Latin trans.
lation Of the "Upanishads," made by

sion OF the Sanscrit original, which
was published at Strassburg, in two
volumes quarto, 1SO1-1S02, under the
title "Oupnek'hat, i'd est, JSecretum Le-
gendum." 1t consists Of a group Of
treatises, eXpOunding general SyS-
TEN of mystical pantheism, which
arose as development of the more

is believed that this Influenced SchOp-
enhauer not little in his writings.
