WHY NOT BUILD
A HOME NOW?

If we didn't like and "believe'' in
the town we live in, we would pull
our freight out of it in a hurry. To
believe in a town one must see that
there is a future for it. To see that
future one must "see" its growth in
the years to come.
AS sure as this good town Of ours
= grows-and grow it wil-property
values will increase. The soundest
investments of all ages have been in
real estate. Your home is your best
investment. We believe, as you be-
lieve, in the progress and Develop
ment that our city is destined to en-
joy.
Have you seriously thought of
home-ownership? Have you ever
weighed the matter carefully? If you
haven't then consider these sound
reasons why you should:
Home-ownership betters your credit
and business standing.
If you lose money or your job you
still have your home-If you possess
the deed to it.
Home-owners are respected and
substantial people, claiming the same
class of people as their friends.
When you own your home, every
cent invested in improvements in-
crease the value of the property.
Taxes on the home you own might
seem high, but they are small COM
pared to the trent" on a dwelling you
do not own.
When you have saved enough to
make the first payment Tin some cases
a buildingsite) and move in, there
after paying for a home is as easy as
paying rent.
Saving for a home inspires thrift
t. living and the habits of success
thereby helping people to get up in
the world.
Property rights are productive of
personal interest in law and order.
Red flags are not found in the hands
of home-owners.
Where there is a will there is a way.
Now listen to these two "ifs": eff"
you can pay rent, you can own your
home eff" the desire to do so is great
enough. That's not hard to figure out.

PLANS TO
ACT AGAINST SALE
OF WIDOWS FARM

Brentwood, Wis, Dec. 10.-The
United Farmers League, at its
meeting Sunday, decided to take
action against a foreclosure sale
scheduled for the Philips Court
House December 81.
The sale is on a farm located
about five miles south of Brant-
wood, owned by a widow, Mrs. Ny
strom and her children. She has
been unable to pay the mortgage
on her home and is now faced with
foreclosure.
PROTEST FORECLOSURE
A letter of protest was sent to
Charles Nystrom of Minnesota, the
owner of the mortgage, demanding
that he cancel the foreclosure sale.
The farmers also decided to mobi-
lie the farmers of the vicinity to
stop this forced sale and to dem
onstrate at the court house again
forced sale. Delegates We've sent
to other farmers organizations 10
ask them to participate.
Discussion was also held on the
program of the United Farmers
League, and a local comrade ex-
planned it and pointed out that il
was the only program that would
help the farmers.

Organization equal to theirs. They
drove to another town some time
ago, found their way into a garage
and wheeled out two trucks and
gave them back to their owners
from whom they had been taken
by the company, due to inability
to make payments.
They worked several days on the
trucks so that we are here in
Omaha after only five hours drive
"a distance of lao miles. The
trucks are enclosed with wall
board, equipped with fire ex-
tinguishers, seats, stoves and light,
and are quite comfortable. So
far we have been received we'll
had our pictures taken many
times, have been donated eats and
sleeping quarters and have been
treated splendidly all the way

POOR FARMERS TO
BE EXEMPT FROM
TAXES IN RUSSIA

In a decree the Central Execu-
tive Committee and the Council of
Peoples Commissars of the Soviet
Union have set special single
tax on the Individual farms. The
tax is directed chiefly against the
itch farmers. The collective farms
and farms employing red army
men, red guerilla men and woun-
ded ex-soldiers are exempt from
the tax. The district committees
are empowered to exempt further
all farms which have fulfilled all
their obligations towards the state
either from the whole tax or a
part. For farms of rich farmers
the tax is double the usual agri-
cultural tax, for the individual
peasant farms in question it totals
from 81 to $12. The farms of the
Door peasants are exempt. Twenty
five per cent falls to the district
and the rest to the state. The
tax must be paid in full by the
end of the year.

DEMAND MORATORIUM AND STOPPING OF
EVICTIONS FROM HOMES

Washington, Dec. 11.-Amid a
thunder of applause, $50 farmers
from 26 states concluded the first
National Relief Conference at
Washington.
A permanent orgaization was
set up to launch nationwide
struggle for the demands which
the four day conference drew up
and placed before Congress. Off
ceys of the organization are Tony
Rosenberg CT Nebraska, chairman;
Louis Bentley, Pa; Strong, Nebr.,
and Stephen Stafford, Fla, the
latter three being vice presidents.
ALL SECTIONS REPRESENTED
All the farmers present were
"dirt farmers" Many came from
the great wheat plains and large
contingent represented eastern
dairy farmers. The region which
saw the militant farm struggle
last summer-Iowa and Nebraska
was also we'll represented. Every
farmer present was elected at a
meeting of % fellow farmers.
Many, especially in the strike re-
gion, were elected at meetings at
tended by two and three hundred
farmers. A special ovation was
given the southern delegation
which consisted of Negro and
white share troopers who had a
specially difficult time in getting
to Washington.
The conference was opened at
the Typographical Union hall with
a report of the secretary, Lem
Harris, Harris pointed out that
farm prices have fallen so low
that farmers incomes have been
more than halved while city work
ers have to pay as much for farm
products as they ever did. He
suggested that the Conference for
mulate program arc ind which
farm masses everywhere could be
rallied. This pogrram "a complete
statement of which will be found
on page 81 was drawn up and pre-
sented to both houses of Congress.
UNABLE TO PAY DEBTS
Farmer after farmer got up and
told about the terrible conditions
in his locality. Many told on the
floor how impossible it was for
farmers to pay their debts and de-
manded a moratorium on debts

1900 CROWD OFFICE

Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. 5.-Over
1900 farmers and workers succeed
ed in hating tax sales for 80 days
here.
Members of the Farmers Holi :
day Association began to crowd
into the county treasurer's office,
where a sale for taxes was sched-
uled last Monday an hour before
the sale was to start. They were
determined that no farmers or
workers homes should be sold for
taxes and had warned all bidders
not to put up a bid.
NO BIDS
When the treasurer began to
read off the list of property
against which there is $45O,OOO in
delinquent taxes, not a single
voice was raised. The treasurer,
Norman H. Nelson then announced
that no further sales at auction
would take place until January 3.
The treasurer was forced to
grant 30-day delay on tax sales
because of a petition presented by
the Farmers Holiday Assn, thru
a committee of four township
