Today is the day. Your young earning power is the
best. It will not be worth s o much in maturer years. You
cannot start then and be happy. No American home is a
perfect home unless it is qwned by the man who goes-in and
out there. It is his kingdom. " It ¢an be no man’s unless the
occupant owns e
All work and no pleasure is a poor, very poor, program.
But the money that goes for the pleasures of this community
will buy all the homes occupied by the tenants and then
have enough to spare to keep the red blood in everybody’s
cheeks It is wrong to say there is no money with which
houses can be built and owned. :
Cordele needs more than a hundred modest cottage
homes. This is not idle talk. The man who. is interested
can get that proven to him before breakfast, any morning.
These must be built before any growth can be had in any
avenue of business. Good families almost daily lose their
chance to reside here because there are no houses available.
There is a constant call for thems The daily appeal is to the
business man who would bring in handsome returns on his
money. Somebody must build—more houses must be con
structed in this community. The very health of the families
packed up in gome quarters is daily endangered. Who will
study the possibility now of making good returns on some
‘homes for families of moderate means? ‘
The pride of every man ought to be in his home. Cer
tianly the pride of every woman is there. o
We want more people in this community to reali_zé that
there is the widest differenct. Far ‘too many people are ten
ants—more than a majority of us live in rented houses.
That leaves a. poor minority to maintain an enthusiasm for
home owning among the families that live here. The renter
is resigned to his fate and unwilling to take hold of the first
duty, the vital duty when he starts out as the .head of the

THE CORDELE’ DISPATCH:
family, . L iR e H 0 SR
That custom must be changed before we can know the
home owner’s joys. If it ismot your desire to own your own
home, something is wrong. One of the best things the young
man can do is to encourage that desire. Then the next best
thing—the very best thing—is to back up that desire with
some real money——money' \with which the home can be paid
for. It should be backed up by more and more till the day
comes when the home can be hought. ' :
We want something that can change a renter the oc
cupant of fwo or three rooms, from his listless resignment to
a live, enthusiastic schedule of saving and planing till the
house can be bought. The home is half of the happiness of
living for the family. The home speaks where all else fails
in the matter of satisfying that hunger for confidence in
one’s self. The family that owns its home is most of the time
a happy family. ]
Denver, Colorado, has a law prohibiting the erection
of wooden structure within the city limits. Nearly every
structure of moderate eost is of brick. It is a country-wide
boast in that city that eighty-five percent of the home keep
ers, the heads of families who are in any manner respene_ibl'e”
for their maintenance and comfort, own their own home.
These homes, eight out of ten of them, are dreams of arthi
tectural beauty. Every lot and evesy house looks to be some
architect’s life study on that special task., But these homes
are modest and many, many of them belong to the salaried
and the working people. They own them. ~
Here in Cordele they say more than sixty percent of the
people responsibile for the homes in this community live in
rénted houses. Ther is no restriction as to building material
and the costs today are looking downward. It ought to be
the time to seek a change, to look out for a home of your
own. You need not expect material prices of five years ago,
but it is time to investigate and see if you cannot now ewn
your home. : A » 5 ~}: :
; lf‘you have something saved ahead |, buiid_fhaf fiome.
It is your only kingdom, the only place where you can enjoy
all of the satisfaction of homemaking. Yon cannot live in
a rented house and ever plan a pretty rose garden with any
heart. Yo cannot go to the expense of making a prefty lawn
for the landlord’s benefit. You’ll be gone. You cannot add
to the rented place a thing that will not be yours when you
take your trunks and get in the road to find other quarters.
Every family should pledge to have a kome. Tin cans
and paper sacks offer no rosy future for any family. You
may pay rents forever and when you are nine hundred years
old, you will be no more independent than you are the first
day you started. Renting a home cricourages waste, while
paying for a home encourages thrift. . . / 3
The young woman expects more of her husband, no
matter haw modest his salary is. She has a right to expect
a home and a rented place is no home. It is only temporary
quarters. It knocks the foundation from under; all happy
home making. It knocks the very confidence ~out of the
-map’s soyl.if he remains a.renter long. g 08 4
There is a citizenship for every family to maintain. A
man isn’t worth much to any community as a mere tenant.
He cannot hold office unless he has some real estate on the
tax books somewhere in his own name. Did you knew that?
Yout neighbors do not count strongly on your citizenship
unless you own your home. b A e /
: The day you start, that day will be a wise one in your
career. Lay aside from your earnings and have your own
home. Don’t put that off. Gt boas ik
