HAPPY THANKSGIVING. DAY

viii soon be here. The season is one of
great JOY. Most of us think of our misfor-
tunes rather than Of cur blessings. But
VIXEN we begin to count our blessings we
find they oulnumber our m:sfcr.unes. We
should be gratell Il for health AMI for the
Blessings Of friendship, for tine creature
comforts of life and for the great blessings
Of a land Of freedom. Every individual with
pluck and energy can, with reasonable
health and care, gather enough of the
'creature comforts to satisfy his needs.
Thrift is virtune, not vice. The honest
toiIer who has put by a neat sum for the
care Of his family may gather his loved ones
about him on Thanksgiving day an re: ::o;ce
that he has heen wise enough to save. We
offer every reasonable safeguard for your
savings. Oren an account with us, and see
how your savings will grow.

The City Beautiful.

We cant have too many pretty
towns or too many pretty homes In
town and country. Progress along
this line IL being made annually and
with increasing interest among pro-
gressive town builders and home own
ers. There is no use for s%habbiness.
%Shabbiness connotes Incidence and in-
difference. A house or a town which
Indicates careless occupants. citizens
concerned only for primitive necessi-
ties, is moi one to attract the sort of
people that energetic people want to
know. Poverty is no excuse for shah
biness. The humblest dwelling does
not need TO be shabby. Shabbiress Is
carelessness. not fiimslness. Many a
himsy little cottage or cabin exhibits
a quality that Is far superior to shah
biness. II Is the careless. untenanted,
dilapidated, apathetic look to n mans
home. a mans town. or n mans cloth

Oaks are considered by the United

II is probable that oaks have not been
more widely planted because Of the
prevalent belief that they are slow

Hometown
NOT A NATION OF RENTERS
People of Country Have by No Means
Lost Ambition to Own Their
Own Homes.

Is home owning a lost ambition?
Are we becoming a nation of cliff
dwellers and renters? Not if we put
faith in the figures compiled by the
lately established bureau of housing
of the Department of Commerce.
OF the 6S cities of more than 100000
population but 20 show a loss in per-
centage of homes owned between 1910
and 1920 (the figures are from the
census bureau) and the losses are
more than Offset by the gains of the
other As. OF the 20 where losses were
recorded, four-Detroit, Cleveland. st.
Louis and Los Angeels-are in the
first ten cities of population.
Although in New York more homes
are owned than in any other city the
percentage is the lowest, but 12.7, yet
even here the percentage has grown
from III in 1910 and 12.1 in 1900.
Manhattan presents the most striking
situation. With more than n half a
million homes. less than 1000 were
owned, little more than = per cent.
If home owning be a form of civic
virtue, then Des Moines may gather
her chaste skirts about her as painted

of home ownership of 51.2, a growth
