REASONS FOR OWNING HOME
Advantages Arc Many, Quite Apart
From the Economic One Declares
an Eastern Writer.

There are many upsetting circum-
stances in the world against which
house ownership is a sort of insurance.
If | had not owned my home last fall,
and had by any chance been thrown
out by the old landlord, il would have
been very serious job to find what
wanted in the present market. have
known men ana women to put in weeks
in the search. Houses are often sold
over ones head. Estates have to he
settled. All kinds of things happen.
Perhaps your small boy disturbs the
landlord who in turn makes it dis
agreeable for you. Such possibilities
are put TO rest by actual ownership.
II one has serious illness in the
family, what an assurance II Is to
know that you cannot be disturbed !:
that this is your castle
For such reasons as these, quite
apart from the economic ones. believe
every man of settled habits should
own his own house. and that this is
as good time as any to proceed to
that happy eaIization.-Robert Lin
coin O'Brien in Boston Herald.

Senator Jones asked the witness
whether his charges of unwisdom
