as one of the most important In
the campaign is self-evident. To
be an owner of a home or to be
striving in that direction is more in
dicative Of thriftness than almost
any other attribute. The thrifty per-
son or the home owner is the ideal
citizen.
So many are the advantages of be-
ing a home owner that 1t Is al
most impossible to enumerate all of
them. From first to last. 1t Is the
