Desire to GUN Home
Can Be Traced Back
To Early Centuries

1t IL a word with a world of mean
ing, term which represents some
thing of the highest order. In the
old days of this country men risked
their lives and endured great hard
ships In establishing homes.
. 1t was in Reputation Of the rental
system OF Europe as much as a de
sire for freedom Of religious wor'
ship that men crossed the seas In
tiny ships and faced the savages OF
the New World. II was for a home
life that the foreigners pushed into
the wilds Of America and fought the
red man for the right to build
houses and have farms, a privilege
countries because of feudal laws
'hich demanded homage and tribute
to the feudal lords. The savages. on
the other hand. fought the advance
Of the white man into his country
because he encroached on his land
and his tepee. So II will be found
all through history, man fighting for
his home regardless of the odds.
Americas Freedom Won by Owners
It has been said that home owners
or. rather, those imbued with the de
sire. won Americas freedom. They
had come across the sea to be free OF
the Old Worlds customs, Time dis
closed the fact that though great
span of water separated them from
the old countries. political connec.
tons were bringing to the new land
the customs from which they had fled
These hardly pioneers saw the com
ing of the day when the parent gov.
eminent would grant their lands to
scions Of court families for sc, vice
rendered to their sovereign. Then
would follow the old country land
renting system and religious freedom
would be interfered with. History
tells with what bitterness they fought
the kings soldiers. There is abun.
dance of evidence that the home owner
since has shown himself to be tho
stanchest defender of the nation.
Cardinal features of home owner,
ship are known to most folks. Civic
pride. thrift, social advantages
economical reasons and agreeable sur.
roundings are some of them. Any
one of these is sufficient reason for
the purchase of q home.
The axiom, "A man without a home
of his own is like a man without a
country" is well worth repeating.

There are innumerable reasons why
the natural desire to own home
should be encouraged until realized.
Nothing seems to have more univei sal
backing than the own your own home
idea. which, after all, Is wish based
on racial traditions reaching back CEN
turtles and centuries. The renting
system, which now Is deeply rooted in
every corner Of this country, was
brought about by such colossal de-
velopments as that of New York.
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and
other large cities. 1t stands for con-
gestion Of population, high rentals and
fee values, and intensive structural
Developments.
Abnormalities in every direction is
the consequence. Renting IL the mod
ern ghost OF the land systems Of coun-
tries Of the Old World, where great
domains. the gifts of appreciative gov
ernments. are held in perpetuity and
10 the disadvantage of the peasantry,
who would like to realize that natural
desire. the ownership Of a little
brown cot"
Even Stone Age Mon Loved Home.
In sections of the Old World where
great estates are not general there
exists the highest degree of happiness,
social peace. industry aud national
pride. These qualities will be found in
greater evidence in the family group
which owns the roof over its head
than in the family that lives in a
rented house.
Go back in history to prehistoric
days and Il will be found that the
Inhabitants OF the earth considered
their crude abodes with q regard and
generation equal to that displayed by
folks Of this advanced period of
civilization. Natural instinct ac-
counts for this similarity and not
education. Folks Of those early
days were not subject to mental
training; they followed their inclina-
ton and held steadfastly to their
cave homes In the hills or noun
tain sides. Animals. too. show
strongly the home instinct and will
trek to their lairs at the end of
the day. even though forced to
travel long distances. s
Word With World Of Meaning.
Home Is one Of the most used
words in our language. Hardly a
day passes that we do not speak or
write the word at least once. Words
meaning home in other languages,
no doubt, are used equally as often.

GAME TOMORROW
TO BE HUMMER
SheIburne Falls Has Heavy Hitters as
Well as Twirling Artists-Bene-
fit for RittenhOuse.

The Brattleboro Athletics have booked
for t0morrow's game a team from Smell
burne Falls that has won p ont of g.
game schedule and from the dope at hand
should be more likely to give locals fight
for the big end of the score than any
other team that has visited here this sea
son.
The Shelburne Falls team is not made
up of entirely local players. for with lib
eral financial backing they are able to
hire outside talent OF merit They have
some heavy hitters as well as twirllng ar
lists that are capable of making the best
of them step some. but with the marked
improvement of the Athletics with the
stick as shown last week the twirling de-
partment of the visitors will have to be a
bit better than the average to keep the
athletics from crossing the rubber
BrattlebOro will be well represented on
the mound in none other than Bill
Blake. who held the West SwanZey aggre-
CATION so we'll in hand last week and at
the same time did not exert himself to
any great extent Bin has been lOOSenlng
UP a bit this week and will be in better
condition to serve up the speed ball which
he had no occasion to use on the New
Hampshire boys. and with the Athletics
playing the brand of ball they showed last
week Shelburne Fails will be up against
the toughest proposition they have tackled
this year.
Although it was mentioned yesterday
that this was to be. a benefit game for
James Rittenhouse, the fact is again
called to the fans attention as the man
agement is particularly DESTROYS of max
ing this real benefit and hopes that the
sports will be As generous as possible as
the entire proceeds. after actual expenses
have been deducted, will be given to Mr.
RittenhOuse.
The management finds it a difficult
proposition to book teams at anything
like a small guarantee and at the same
time get a team here that has strength
enough to make it interesting for the locals
as well as the fans. Shelburne Falls is
considered a coed team and is therefore
able to command a sizeablc guarantee
Therefore the Athletics solicit the fans
generous patronage and support. \ team
could have been brought here under {
smaller guarantee, but this game wa,
booked before the benefit was arranged
The game starts at 3 p. m, and il
might be well to be on hand in good season
for the indications are that it will com
mand the largest crowd of the season.

by the early citizens of those places.

yard of the barnyard of southern and

A reporter trying to find anything out
of the ordinary on the dairy markets the
past few weeks would have hard work,
as trade has gone slower and slower, each
week finding less wholesale business and
an air of pessimism growing more gen
eral. This slow trade was to be expected
in August, however, and the dropping
prices during this period are usually a
forecast of a much better market during
the winter months.
Butter prices have been irregular, gain
ing strength for a day only to decline be-
low the previous levels within a short
time. Weather conditions appear to be
supporting prices at the close, the spread
of hot dry weather through the west look

more plentiful but still wanted at 41-43c
