THE HOME YOU OWN.

In an eastern city a building show" held in a
auditorium has attracted large crowds of
people.
Naturally. Nothing interests people more than
building. Most people, young and middle
aged, hope to have ga home of their own some
day" If it is a purpose they get it. If it is a
mere hope and a dream they usually keep on hop
ing and dreaming and paying rent.
The probabilities are that the wives brought
husbands to that building show. Women like to
look at homes and home buildings. Most women
plan a home of their own. Nobody Graves a set
tied abiding place like a woman and a wife. And
she has a right to have it.
There is something radically wrong with the
man and woman who do not desire a home of
their own, and are satisfied with existence in
an apartment house. Usually such people do not
want children. Often they do not have them.
Children indicate a home. Women and children
and a home of their own belong together. It's
the old patriarchal or tribal instinct cropping out.
A place where the tribe meets, lives, grows and
returns to at night for rest and safety. That
was the beginning of the home, safety, compan-
ionship, mutual protection and mutual aid. That's
why the tribe fought to the death for the spot
it had selected for it's own. The family and the
home are inseparable. 1t is hard for one to exist
without the other, either as a home or a family.
1t is a mark of higher citizenship to "own your
own home" 1t is evidence of thrift and solidity,
manhood and womanhood.
Beyond all it is safety, safety in old age, safety
in sickness and misfortune, safety whether it is
a mansion on the hill or a cottage in some obscure
street for the family is the family and home is
home one place as the other. The only difference
is in the location of the houses.
Start out, young people, with the purpose of
owning your own home. Make it a main purpose.
Stick to it until you have it. Anybody with health
and purpose can do it. Not only that but can
have a lot of fun at it. And there's nothing on
earth like it, the sense of ownership, 'to breathe
the air on your own ground" to know that it
waits for you with the light shining out the
window however far away from it you may be,
that the trees and the flowers out of doors and
the little beds in the nursery are safe against
all the world, yours, the little home you own.

Laurette Taylor. This may sound
like shopworn advice, but ruts are
such deceptive things. A person

and in reality he's moving in a

1t is not enough to be successful.

desirable, essential, to pursue a
straight course, but one should
pause occasionally, look around,
deviate a bit, or that straight course
will become a rut.

danger to our children than in the larger
cities, where more temptations are thrown in the
pathways of the young.
That we live in the small cities of Montana or
in the rural districts of this great state, is some
thing for which we have cause for thanks.
When our children are allowed to romp at will
over green lawns or fields, breathe the fresh air
of the great outdoors, and have the wholesome
food that the country affords, how much better
off are they than were they cooped up between
city flats with no green in sight, and nowhere
to play but the sidewalk of the street. We don't
know, here in Montana, when we are well off.
Let's take stock of ourselves when we think
we're poor and mark our inventory up as COM
pared to the friend we may know in the big city
who is compelled to bring up his children mid
the crowds and hustle of a metropolis.

shock, a trifling ailment, are serious
matters. The sensitive person, like
the coward, dies a hundred deaths.
You must fight the habit of becom-
ing s~elf-centered from the moment
you recognize it. Religious faith, the
will, unselfkh interest in others
those are powerful allies. 1t helps
toward fortitude to recognize the fact
that suffering of one kind or another
is common to all. Recollect the di-
vine promise that no one shall be
tempted or tried beyond his power Of
endurance. Live one day at a time,
but that is the best possible way.

away from yourself and to live in a
larger world, new and alluring vistas
open before you. To be seIf-centered
is to be lonely and unhappy. To live
for others is to be free.-Youths'

THEODORE ROOsEvELTs AVERAGE"

There isn't much difference in men, not so
much difference in their abilities as we incline
to believe.
The fact is that a big man-so called-is rather
disappointing when we get up close to him. The
nearer we get the more like the rest of US he
seems.
That's because we are looking for him to be
equipped with an entirely different set of ma
chinery from that that God gives the average
man. We are disappointed when we find it isn't
so. Perhaps we are somewhat Inundated having
accepted as a certainty that the reason he is "big"
and we are not is because of his having been
built and equipped on entirely different specifi-
cations. When we realize our mistake we won
der why we didn't do it.
Theodore Roosevelt hit the nail on the head
in his fashion of going straight to the reasons and
causes of things. Someone stopped over on Teddy
by attempting to tell him that he was one of the
supermen we talk about. Roosevelt answered
him. He went on to say that there wasn't a thing
he did that some other man of his acquaintance
couldn't do better. "Tm just the average man"
said Roosevelt, 'but, by George, 1 work at it
harder than the average man."
That's the size of it with most of US, practically
all of us. We are all just average men but some
work harder at it. And we call those men "big."
We are right about it. When an average man
does more than the other average men, he stands
out. He raises himself above the average who
insist on average work for themselves. "Aver-
age" is only a word of comparison. 1t doesn't
mean any particular amount of accomplishment
but just an average amount between the man
who does little or nothing and he who works hard
at it." Average actually means "easy" not what
a man can do, but what a man does who is sat
isfed with being average or under. Average
means getting by" That's about all.
Men are born average" That means of course,
the usual complement of limbs and lungs and the
like and the average amount of intelligence as
struck between congenital idiots and "born gent
uses" Just as one field across the road is like
another field. One carries an average" crop of
wheat. The other by labor and tillage and ap-
piled intelligence brings so per cent better yield
Roosevelt was not actually born average
Physically he was under average; but he worked
harder at it.
When we come to analyze it that's the rea.
active principle of Theodore Roosevelt's useful
ness and of the usefulness of all men larger OF
lesser-"working hard at it." That's what has
raised the average as the generations lived anC
passed and the centuries have, to paraphrase Whit
tier rolled like grains of sand from the hand o.
the Creator.
It's all right to be an average man. That means
a fairly successful, fairly decent man as men go
but it's a big thing to work at it above the average

CAUSE FOR THANKS.

Arthur Train, well known novelist, has written
a tale depicting modern life as he sees it in the
larger cities of the country. His hildren's Chill
dren," is the title, and the text has brought forth
a storm of protest from some quarters where per-
sons do not agree with the author in his deduc-
tions.
Mr.. Train does not finch, however, and de-
clares that he has written truths. In defense of
his own work he says:
In these days of taxis and cabarets in the great
American city the home is too often merely a
place where a child's parents change their clothes
between bridge and going out to dinner. What
q chile learns there is too often merely the lesson
of domestic boredom or matrimonial infelicity.
The child is entitled to be taught, by severe dis
cipine if necessary, that this is a world of retri-
button and that if he sins he will suffer it.
But parents are too lax, indifferent or lazy
to put themselves to the trouble. Life has ceased
to be taken seriously by them. In the end the
children pay the penalty.
But he decay of home life is not the only trou-
bic. Anybody seriously claiming there is not a
distinct swing toward sexual laxity must be blind,
deaf or both. One sees it on all sides; it is even
reflected in the current vocabulary.
am not going to say that l am pessimistic with
regard to the social situation in America" he
continued, "but l think it will be well if we think
tho matter over very seriously. There are good
reasons why we should.
Although he will be criticized by some readers
of the big cities, Mr.. Train will find sympathetic
audiences in the west, where the home is still look
ed upon as being a place of s~anctity, and where
we try to rear our children with the thought that
true ideals of manhood and yomanhood are
founded on decency. We do not always succeed,
even in the country, but proportionateIy there is
