The Better Homes in America"
campaign, which is to hold Demon
stration Week" all over the country
from Oct. to IA, is endorsed by the
great men of the nation. President
Harding regards the campaign as of
particular Importance, because it
places emphasis, not only upon home
ownership which he regards as alb
solutely elemental in the development
Of the best citizenship, but upon fur
nishing sanitation and equipment of
the home. The advisory council
which is backing this movement is
composed of such people as Calvin
Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Henry c.
Wallace, James John Davis. John
Barton Payne, Mrs. Thomas G. Win
ter, Mrs. Lena Lake Forrest and 9TH
crs, and the campaign is being car
ried on by representative women of
America. Calvin Coolidge says in
regard to home ownership: Under
present conditions any ambition of
America to become nation of home
owners would be by no means impos
sible Of fulfllment. The land is
available, the materials are at hand,
the necessary accumulation of credit
exists, the courage, the endurance and
the sacrifice Of the people are not
wanting. Let them begin. however
slender their means, the building and
perfecting of the national character
by the building and adjoining of
home which shall be worthy of the
habitation of an American family,
calm in the assurance that the gods
send thread for web begun"
Herbert Hoover says: There is no
incentive to thrift like the ownership
Of property. The man who owns his
home has a happy sense of security.
He will invest his hard earned saw
ings to improve the house he owns.
He will develop it and defend it. No
man ever worked for, or fought for

BETTER HOMES WEEK

"The Better Homes in America"
campaign this week will be an occa-
sion OF far-reaching and benef1cent
influence if it meets generally with
such reception as that which our cor
respondent reports from Hinckley,
Maine.
These who place great importance
on home ownership do SO wisely.
The experience of civilization bears
out that conclusion. During the
centuries the stimulus to English
patriotism afforded by the ingrained
belief that an Epglishman's home is
his castle and the support given that
conviction by the laws OF the land
may scarcely be overestimated. His
tory records few as great changes as
occurred in France when her people
became home owners.
In our own country what has often
been termed the spirit of adventure
prompting the pioneer. frequently
was based on nothing less than a re-
solve to secure the best home posi-
bic. Those who piloted the prairie
schocners across the Plains were in
most instances seeking the port OF a
home. They were not in quest of
land speculation, their vision did not
include the founding Of great es-
tates, rather modest, comfortable
home for the family.
Existing in tiny fiat, where chill
dren are frowned upon, is not living.
When. II ever. such a condition shall
come to prevail will be time to do
away with our fondest hopes for the
future Of our country. We may en-
courage the home seeking instinct
by making those already established
more attractive.

grounds, but on political. The
enemies Of Lloyd George and the
labor element which is disposed to
make any kind Of trade to avoid
more war, are rallying for his defeat.
This time they are reinforced by
many who have favored the retention
of the wartime premier in power.
They either are disillusioned respect
ing his ability to make the most of
the situation or are at last con-
WINGED that he has over-stayed his
time under the spotlight. Anyhow
the agitation against him is recog-

British management in the Near East

Forest Fire Warden Service
Statement of the Commissioner

State of Maine, Forest Service,
Augusta. October Z, 1922.
Editor, Kennebec Journal,
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Sir: The editorial IN this
mornings Journal entitled "Protec-
ton When It Is Needed" is so OBJ
viously based on transformation that
I am sure YOU will be glad to know
the real facts. The forest fire
warden service was not discontinued
during September because of lack OF
funds but because conditions at that
time were such as to make such ac-
ton safe. While the heavy deficit
carried over from the abnormal fire
season of 1921 has naturally led US to
scrutinize all expenditures this year
with even more than usual care, we
have not tried to economiZe at the
expense of safety.
The warden service was not dis
continued until the usual time, and
with the advent Of the recent unex-
pcctcdly warm and dry spell many of
the men were returned to duty. so
that practically all Of the chief
wardens were on the job when the
hunting season opened. 1t is, how
ever, a physical impossibility for the
force to keep track of all sh.se en-
tcring the woods, and the mere fact
that the wardens are on duty is not
enough to prevent or excuse careless
ness with fire on the part of hunters
and others entering the woods.
7 shall appreciate it if YOU will
give the same publicity to this cor
roction as to the editorial in ques-
ton.
Very truly yours,
S. T. DANA.

ON A FIRM FOUNDATION

The endorsement which the South
the tariff law is embarrassing in no
slight degree to the Democratic cam
paign managers. This not because
of fear that the South may so Re-
publican. Southern Democrats have
long been accustomed to lote for
tariff schedule which favored their
interests but to vote against the bill
as whole when they knew it might
become a law without their support.
But that endorsement by Southern
business men held up before north
ern audiences where the Democrats
are seeking to impress belief in the
utter iniquity of the law must be
somewhat annoying.
We all recall the charges of favor
itism shown the South in the
Underwood law, but here is the
Southern Tariff Association speaking
Of the new law, expressing its ap-
probation of the fair and generous
treatment" accorded the South there
in, and declaring that it is the saliva
ton of Southern industries generally.
We think this is the first tariff law of
which as much has been said. Evil
IDENTIFY the Republican Congress tried
to be fair in the imposition of duties,
at least as between localities This
being so it is reasonable to suppose
that this tariff has been laid on good
foundations.

Gordonier started the game for the

declared he had made his final offer.
The situation, therefore, stands like
this: If Grimes quits the club, as he
says he will do unless he gets the con-
tract he wants, the chances of the
Robins finishing anywhere will get an
awful jolt. If, on the other hand,
Grimes signs and is then laid low with
as badly Off. 1t would doubtless take
Grimes several months to recover from
an operation and by that time the race
would be too far. gone to benefit the
club unless Robbie's pitching staff per
forms a miracle.
The deadlock is not over the amount
the pitcher is to receive, but the way
the $4,000 salary is to be doled out.
Grimes demands that he be paid in full
without ifs or wherefors. Ebbets likes
to have his hired men on their toes all
the time; hence he has inserted a
couple Of clauses so as to be sure
Burleigh will not let down until the
last day of the race. As the Squire
puts it down in black and white, Grimes
is entitled to $500 flat, $500 extra
TOY winning twenty games and $1,000
more il Burleigh makes it twenty-five.
II needs no adding machine to make
that $4,000 according to the Ebbets
view.
Ebbets points to the fact that he
made good a $1,000 bonus~iast season,
although Grimes won only II games
out of a stipulated 25. Fine and dandy,
says Burleigh, but this is another year
and Ebbets may not be so generous
again. He gave the Robins chieftain
a couple of days to meet his terms,
after which he will go back to Miner.
Va, and play with the outlaws. From
the eighteenth hole at Ortega this
evening Ebbets wigwagged Burleigh to
leave right then.
The Robins had only morning
work out to-day and Grimes was there
in uniform. He warmed up with the
pitchers and looked sick at the finish.
Doc Hart, the Robins trainer, advised
him to consult specialist.
