HOMES OF THE FUTURE If in the next few years this country does not show a much larger per cent of its families owning their own homes than at present, the reason will_ be that our people are losing their appreciation of home and the pleasures of domesticity. The present high prices in all lines, and more especially those of la- bor and farm products, are resulting in the common people of the land eoming to more easy circumstapces than ever before in our history. The man who can not now live and lay by a little money is rare. Bank ac- counts are being accumulated by men who heretofore have never known what it means to hove money ahead. Now the country that enjoys the soundest prosperity, the prosperity that makes for stability and permanency, is that country wherein the greatest per cent of its people own their own homes. The feel of one'’s own soil under one’s feet imparts a sense of oneness with the things about us that nothing else can give. John Howard Payne touched a human chord that moved the world when he penned the immortal line, "There‘s_ no place like home.” There is absolutely no reason, unless it be disinclination, why thou- sands upon thousands of families that have heretofore been renters, should not make the effort to own their homes. Real estate values are still very reasonable in many parts of the country, and nowhere are they as high as in many other lines. Then the risk is not great, as all indica- tions point to a long period of present high prices and strong demand for all the products of human labor. In former times many men were Tre- Juctant to assume property indebtedness, owing to the fact that none could tell at what time the bottom would drop out of the ‘prosperity of the coun- try and they be left stranded. But this fear has no force now. Even if the war were to end this year, conditions in Europe would demand all our surplus for several years to come, and prices and demand would continue active. . The man who is making a surplus will be recreant to his duty to him- self, to his family and to his country if he lets this opportunity pass to establish himself as one of the substantial permanent assets of his coun- try—a home owner. WAR SECRETAY IS BLAMED In the course of his being questioned by the senate committee, which is probing the expenditures for the military and the causes of delays and the utter lack of preparedness, General Crozier says that Secretary of War Baker was one of the chief causes, and that one of his stunts was to per- sonally take charge of the testing of ordinance. This reminds us of the time when Admiral Fisk, one of the most com- petent naval experts produced by the United States, was asked to prepare a report on the needs of the navy and did so. His recommendations were slashed to ribbons by those who were not experts, the nearest mnaval knowledge being that some of the politicians wore a sailor hat in seoson. Baker is a lawyer from Cleveland, O. He is not a military man but was a staunch supporter of Wilson in the campaign. the chief reason Baker was given the berth of secretary of war. It would seem that military knowledge would be necessary in a secretary of war. Now the house of congress is going after the navy department and do a little investigating. And here again, Secretary Daniels is from the south, Wilson’s stronghold. He is a newspaper publisher, and hence there is little use of taking a seasoned navy man’s advice or suggestions. “MIGHTY BY SACRIFICE” The hundreds of thousands of men who have gone to the front have offered to make every sacrifice of personal interest, personal comfort, and even life itself. Thousands of them, perhaps hundreds of thousands, will yleld upon foreign soil ‘“the last full measure of devotion” to the cause for which all true Americans stand. While those men are making sac- rifices of that character, those of us who remain at home should willingly make any sacrifice that may be necessary to aid them in winning upon the fleld of battle. If the abandonment or curtailment of some needless lines of ‘enterprise shall be found necessary, large financial losses will result. Much as such losses may be deplored, we must keep in mind that they are small as compared with the sacrifices made by the men who offer up their lives in the trenches or “over the top.” The man engaged in needless work will be wise if he prepares to adjust himself to the emergencies which confront the nation.
