HOME |s BACKBONE OF CITIZEN SMITH.
Feeling Of Security Inspired By Ownership,
 He Says

That business for 1924 is going to be even better than 1923, which is considered the best for some years, is the opinion of Charles E. Smith of the Realty Sales company. He bases his opinion upon the fact that every man is more and more realizing the importance of owning his own home.
 Amy man owning his own home Is more apt to be a better citizen; he has something to lean his back against in the time of trouble; he has something to use as a nucleus around which to form an independ ence, to bring up a family; his credit is better and he is' thought much more of in the world. Few men do not realize this, and more than ever men are going to take advantage of this chance" MT. Smith said.
 "The mere 'hard-boiled' fact, aside from sentiment and duty toward one's s family, that a man who owns proper ty in this world Is better thought of and commands much larger consid- eration Is one of the things which will persuade many to build this year."
 Best Protection.

REALTY MEN HAVE PLANS FOR FEAST
Program Already Prepared For Annual Banquet
 January 10 .

Sam c. Starke, executive secretary of the Real Estate board. urges all tho members to enter in the spirit of the boards banquet on January lo and have one real time, forgetting for a while the dignity and prestige of the business of selling real estate.
 It is in this spirit that he issues the following announcement and in- vitation to the real estate men of the banquet:
 "The last regular meeting of the Birmingham Real Estate board pre- vious to the annual banquet on Jan- uary 10 was held at the Municipal Market dining room on Thursday of the last week.

 'The committees charged with ar- ranging the profram for the occasion have been at work, and a sort of re- hearsal of a part of the program Is to De put on udy or 50 III duNdnCe in order that everything may move with snap and vim. The time al lotted to business will be consumed with reports and reviews of the years work.

some other trouble will force an ex- penditure of more money than the average man has on hand, and the best way to protect ones family Is through owning home.
 Ones family looks to- the bread winner to protect them, and the fact that they may be thus guarded against fortituous happenings makes them more considerate of the head of the household. MT. Smith believes. It is a rare occurance for home7own- ing family to be broken up through trouble, he added, The mere fact that they have so much in common tends to make them stand more to- gether.
 This promise of .thoughtfulnees and consideration toward the house. owner is bound to create a stronger demand for homes in 1924, he said. for more men are realizing that there is a right and wrong way to be selfish. Giving the loved ones ephemeral pleasure only is wrong indulgence, but building a strong fort against the time of storm Is we'll excused selfishness--if it might even be called selfishness. he said.
 Independence Is Factor. =
 InuepenQence IS as IUuch ueSireu today as in 1776, and for this req son alone many men are going to build homes, for how can any one feel properly independent when living on some other persons property? MT Smith asked.
 Self-reliance is as much to be de- sired as independence, and can only be obtained through 1t: no one can feel properly happy and at home in this world that does not feel able to cope with any situation that may arise, and a growing awareness of this fact has already built many homes. he said.
