MORTGAGED HOMES AND PROGRESS

AND PROGRESS
 Mortgage loan conditions have been checked up by the American Bond & Mortgage company leading to the surprising discovery that there are more homes plastered with mortgages in certain states, in cluding Connecticut, than there are debt-free homes, The figures denote si per cent Of the homes owned in Connecticut are mortgaged, being topped by only one other state, New Jersey, which has s7 per cent. Other figures are: New York. 57 per cent; Massachusetts. 5T per cent; Rhode Island S1 per cent, and North Da- kota, 6s per cent.
 ! The statistics compiled by the bonding company refer only to homes occupied by their owners They show that the average of mort gagged homes throughout the entire country totals A2 per cent, so that more than half the home through out the country are free of debt.
 The fact that the higher ratio Of nortgaged homes are located in the east does not indicate lack Of prosperity or extrayagance in home building. These states are regarded ss the richest in the Union. ". J. Moore, president ot the company which made the survey, is undoubt- edly right in assuming that the figures indicate the progressive spirit Of the residents of these states To build homes IS the manifestation Of progress among citizens. and the moro we have Of such progress the better We like it. If, before homes were buff, people r-rc to wait until they could pay ,.@h," very few homes would be constructed but that is exactly what they do in some sections of the country due to a species of false pride about mort , gages.
 
 Mir, Moore, in explaining this pc culiar sectional difference added the following observation 70 the statistical report Of his company:
 Tn the south it was once
 considered more or less Of a
 blot on the family record to
 have a mortgage on the home
 and this attitude is mirrored in
 the ratios for that section.
 Florida and Kentucky for iu-
 stance, have only ?2 per cent
 of their homes mortga ged while
 for Alabama the figure is @1
 per cent; in New Mexico fl is
 only r per cent, which state
 seems 10 have the smallest pro-
 portionate number Of en-
 eumbered homes"
 4 large number Of new homes and apartments have been con. structed in New Britain the pas, year, many more are under con struction and new building permits gre being secured constantly. IL l, safe 10 conclude that most Of tho buildings are going up" with bor. rowed money, secured by mort gsges. What is better. 10 have ne mortgages and no buildings. or tc have buildings and mortgages The latter are paid of in periods rang, ing from IS 10 q years and arr thent debt free; meanwhile they have contributed their share 10 the growth of the city and every sucI mortgsged building adds 10 th' value Of other property. Tn fact so far as adding 10 the value O property is concerned. a mortgage building is just as effective as on' which IS not mort Eagcd,

Readers of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions
Many send for sample bottle to see

in Arlington National cemetery be-
tween the Robert e. Lee mansion and
the stately memorial to Sheridan. And
the story of the little old ex-Confed," ,"
which tells of the coming together Of
the Blue and Gray in the Khaki, is
this
Joe Wheeler wore first the Blue This
was at West Point and in the Indian
wars of the West. Next, when Ala
bama left the Union, he went with his
state and won fame as a dashing Con-
federate cavalry leader second to none.
He accepted the verdict of the sword
and for ten terms he served Alabama
as a useful member of the house of
representatives.
Hot on the news Of the Names de-
struction, Representative Wheeler of
Alabama went personally to President
Mckinley and asked to be made a
brigadier general Of volunteers and
sent to the front. Some Presidents
might have said "tOo old" for the vet
eran was then sixty-three. But not
Mckinley. He was veteran himself
and he knew his man. SO he went
Wheeler one better and made him a
major general of volunteers
The day General Joe was to leave
for the front he appeared in the house
in uniform. The members crowded
about him to wish him "Godspeed." It
was q moment of intense emotion. And
as he left, the old cavalry leader. tough
as whipcOrd and born leader of men.
Strengthened up, touched the Khaki on
his breast and said:
Gentlemen, this is the proudest.
happiest day Of my life"
Into the thick of the fight he went.
pallid and sick and wan,
Borne in an ambulance to the front.
ghostly wisp of a man:
But the fighting soul of fighting man,
approved in the long ago.
Went to the front in that ambulance
in the body OF Fighting Joe.
Out from the front they were coming
back, smitten of Spanish shells
Wounded boys from the Vermont hills
and the Alabama del1s.
Put them into this ambulance; Til
ride to the 'front.'" he said:
And he climbed to the saddle and rode
right on, that little old ex-Con-
fed.
That was Fighting Joe Wheeler at
Santiago, according to an unknown
poet whose verse was read at the cap
itol exercises last March. After the
Spanish-American war was over the
veteran stayed with the Flag and soon
found himself back In the regular
army-where he had begun as

'shavetail" forty years before. When
he died in 1906 In Brooklyn his body
was taken to Washington and buried
with full military honors, President
Roosevelt attending And in the es-
cort to Arlington were Blue and Gray
and Khaki
Then came the World war This
time it was the German who thought
the 'Yank" would not fight. We did
keep out as long as we could with
honor, but he pushed US too hard.
Ho, the Henglfsh an the Hirish an the
'owlin' Scotties, too,
The Canucks an Haustraliee-uns an
the airy French poilu;
The thing that mostly bothered US hin
hall hour staggerin' ranks
Was wot hin ell would 'appen wen the
'Uns ad 1T the Yanks-
The thing that mostly bothered us that
day hin lawst July
Was 'ow hin ell the lind old hif they
should run awy.
My word! Hit 'appened sudden wen
the drive 'ad first begun;
We seen the Yanks a-runnin'-Gaw
Bliny, ow they run!
But the honly thing that bothered US
that seen the chase begin
Was 'ow hin ell to stop 'em fore they
got INTO Berlin.
The thing that mostly bothered us don't
bother us no more,
Hits honly wy hin ell we didn't know
the Yanks before.
So now we Americans have a new
Memorial Day-a holy day of the Blue
and Gray and Khaki, with more graves
Of soldier dead to decorate and greater
responsibilities. AS to the soldier
dead "Over There" we shall wear pop
pies in remembrance entrusting to
other hands the privilege Of strewing
flowers.
Arlington National cemetery will be
the epitome of the nations observ-
ance. President Coolidge will lay
wreath on the tomb Of the "Unknown
Soldier" and will deliver an address.
And there will be participants from
every nook and corner of the land-for
the heroic dead in Arlington belong to
the nation.
AS to new responsibilities we must
meet them worthily. 1t Is we'll to re-
member the valor of our fighting men
who in all our wars have never let Old
Glory trail In defeat Yet the spirit
Of Memorial Day Is neither exultation
nor revenge. 1t should be rather as
piration for peace on earth, good will
toward men,"
For "War is hell" as Sherman said,
And peace may be made all that war
iG not.

year brings around the recurrent mir
acle of the spring, when life springs
anew from death.
Human nature changes little. It's
conventions may change; it's funda-
mentals remain much the same. Man
still instinctively fears death, still
mOurns his dead, still honors those
who die for their country still believes
In life beyond the grave, still hopes for
the day when war shall be unthink-
able.
We who fear death take heart in
Spring
The Spring with bursting sod
And cry: 20 Death, where is thy sting?
I bring new life from God!"
We who tear death in lifes sharp strife
Take courage Easter Day;
It's message is immortal life
For our poor mortal clay!
We who fear death put fear away,
Pay homage to the brave
In pageant of Memorial Day,
When pride enshrines the gravel
Yet Memorial Day-how changed is
it
An American day Of patriotic sig
nificance, particularly and peculiarly
our very own, 1t was until q generation
ago. Our fighting dead lay all at
home, Blue here and Gray there, oft
times Blue and Gray sleeping side by
side. And it was our own American
quarrel that time was slowly assuag-
ing, as Blue and Gray heaped up i'm
partially the blossoms of remembrance
for valor unsurpassed.
No more shall the war cry sever
Or the winding river be red
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves OF our
dead;
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the judgment-day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
Thus wrote Francis Miles Finch with
the inspiration of a prophet. For then
came the blowing up of the Maine in
Havana harbor, as dastardly an out
rage as ever blackened the records of
civilization.
This Spanisn-American war was
none of our seeking. And Spain was
a short horse and soon curried. Just
the same, it was a war of tremendous
Importance. 1t marked a forward step
in the nations progress. For it put
the American Navy on the Seven Seas
to stay 1t made the United States
a world-power overnight. And out of
the Red White and Blue and the Gray
1t wrought the Khaki.
Last March Alabama availed herself
Of a long-neglected privilege and set
up, with appropriate ceremonies, a
statue Of Brig. Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
9. s. A. And who Is he? Why, none
other than Fighting Joe Wheeler, who
wore all three-the Blue, che Gray and
the Khaki-and honored them all in
the wearing. Heaped high with flow-
ers On Memorial Day will be his grave
