WHY YOU SHOULD OWN YOUR
HOME
“Own your home” slogan has been used
until it has grown shopworn, but it is a
mighty good slogan to adopt and follow.
The person who owns a home has some
thing to be proud of and something that
means a place for comfort and rest as the
twilight of life nears. :
A home bought on the installment plan
or through a building and loan associa
tion makes it easy for the purchaser. Ev
ery payment paid on such a loan is a sav
ing that otherwise would not be made.
Besides it encourages and educates one in
thrift and economical living that is not
‘?nly valuable, but an asset worth striving
or. |
Herbert U. Nelson, executive secretary‘
of the National Association of Real Estate
Boards, offers the following twenty rea
sons for owning a home:
“1. Financial Independence: More peo
ple have started on the road to financial
independence through home ownership
than in any other way.
| “2, Security: In times of stress the
home is always something to fall back on.
“3. A Cash Equity: A well bought
'home is as good as a savings account.
' ““4, Credit: Home owner can open
charge accounts, ete.,, without difficulty.
“5. Peace of mind: Based on the
knowledge that provision has been made
for your family.
““6. Social Background for Your Chil
dren.
“7. Play Place for Your Children:
Without ecriticism from landlord.
“8. Development of Responsibility:
Home owner feels more responsibility
with regard to his dwelling and the neigh
borhood.
““9. Interest in Civic and Municipal Af
fairs: This is good for the iiomc-owner.
““10. Chance for Individual Expression:
Exterior and interic of home can be
made to express individuality of owner.
““11. Permanent Environrment: Making
neighbors and friends whose friendships
last over a period of years. ‘
““12. Habits of Thrift.
““13. Healthful Exercise: Pride of pos
session inspires work around home and
garden, which is healthful for indoor bus
iness people.
‘“l4. Character Development: Respon
sibilities of ownership in meeting emer
gencies and financial payments and in
making repairs, etc., develop business
acumen and character.
““15. Independence (other than finan
cial) : The home-owner can order his life
as he wishes, with no restrictions or inter
ference from landlord.
““16. Savings: Statistics prove that at
approximately the same cost as one can
oceupy and pay for a home he can rent an
apartment of the same size as the house.
When he has complet.d his payments, he |
lives in the owned home much more
cheaply than in rented quarters Thus,
over a period of years, he is money ahead
by buying and occupying a home.
“17. Beautiful Furnishings: Higher
quality furniture and drapes can be pur
chased because they fit into a decorative
scheme that will last for years, instead of
having to be changed periodically as one
moves about from place to place. :
“18. No Restrictions on Size of Fam
ily: Landlord cannot limit the number of
children, or the total number of occupants
1 the home. -
19, Pets: The home-owner can have
as many pets as he wishes, both indoors
and, outdoors, without asking anyone’s
permission. ‘
“20. Possible Income: Thé lot might
be utilized financially such as by building
a garage to hold two or more cars, and
renting a portion of it.” ;
~ There and many more equally as good
reasons might be given, but if these are
followed the country will be the better off
and its citizens better satisfied, happier
and more prosperous.
BANKS SHOW SPLENDID GROWTH
The banks throughout the country
show a wonderful growth surpassing the
business of former years.
The banks of New York City show a
growth of 217 per cent and banks oltside
of New York City have increased their
loan and investment business 172 pér cent
in the last 15 years, according to official
government statistics. The growth of the
banking business extends to every part of
the United States and Detroit is at the
‘head of the list with an increasc of 466
per cent in loans and investments. Dallas
lcon;e.s second with an increase of 437 per
cent.
- While the banks in Georgia are not
rated in the report of the government
among the leading instituticns of the
country they have, nevertheless, shown a
remarkable increases, the banks of At
lamta, especially. Athens banks have en
joyved unusual prosperity; their deposits
have shown increases over that of last
vear and the outlook for the coming fall
is most encouraging indeed. General con
ditions are on the upward trend and every
line of commerce is showing gains. Ath
ens and this section have enjoyed in
creased business during the spring
months; the return of normal and sub
stantial conditions is near at hand and a
general revival in all lines of business
may now be expected.

I BY HUGH ROWE |

Adjutant General Homer
C. Parker has announced his
candidacy for the office of
Comptroller General of the
State in the September pri-
mary,
Mr. Parker is a World War
veteran and has been at the head
of the militia in this state for
Iseveral years. He is well known
to the people and comes from one
of the oldest and most prominent
families in Georgia. His an
nouncement will bring support to
his candidacy from all sections of
the state. He is a man thorough
ly qualified in every respect to
fill the office with credit to him
self and to the people. He ¢is
preparing an organization that
will be active in his behalf du:ing
the campaign.
John J. Brown, of the old
Holder-Brown machine, has
announced his candidacy for
the office of Commissioner of
Agriculture, . .
In 1926, the Holder-Brown ma
chine was scrapped. The voters of
Georgia repudiated both Holder
and Brown and elected Hardman
governor and Eugene Talmodge
Commissioner of Agriculture by
overwhelming majorities. Mr.
Brown has made a mistake in an
nouncing for that office o- any
other office, so far as that is con
cerned, in Georgia. The people
are not in any mood to elect a
machine builder. They want con
able and substantial men in of
fice; they will re-elect Eugene
Talmadge by a larger majority
than they did in the first race.,
There is little left in the
reservaticn to indicate the lo
cation of the former *“No
Man’s Land”. The trees and
shirubbery have been destroy
ed; the ground plowed up and
covered with concrete.
It is unfortunate that in this
age of progress and development
to have one of the most historic
spots in the nation destroyed. In
days gone by, many horse-swap
ping transactions were con
sumated in “No Man’s Land”. It
was an ideal spot for campers and
night lodgers. Tourists from this
entire section camped on the res
ervation rather than spend the
night in the wagon.yards of the
city. Those days have passed; the
days of the Red man. have pdssed
and now comes the time for “No
Man’s Land” tao pass, It hac
passed and with its passing all
the heaucies of nature that have
for so many vears adorned this
section have been carried alorg
with it. :

The overhead® bridge nea:

It is not only unsightly to the
eye, but it is in a delapidated
condition,
The trustees of the cemetery
have taken the matter up with
the officials of the Central of
Georgia Railway with the hopes
of reaching an agreement for the
building of a conerete bridge at
this point. The amount of {raffic
traversing this street into the
cemeerv warrants immediate ac
tion on the part of the railroad
officials. ?t is to be hoped that
some kind of an agreement will
be reached that will insure the
building of the new bridge at an
early date. :

Dr. 8. 1. Newsom, prominent Ham
mond dentist, Newton Gordon,
C'harles; Ike and Henry Starnes,
scns of a wealthy local furniture
dealer today faced a varied as
sortment of serious state charges.
The Tangiparoa parish grand
jury is in session at 'Amite and it
is expected their cases will be
placed before the inquisitorial
bedy without delay.
The five brothers, Dr. Newsom
says, kidnapped him at the point!
of revolvers, covered his body
with creosote and feathers, and
dumped him out of an automobile
in front of a restaurant at 1 a. m.
vesterday in the business section
of Hammond, because they alleged

Blame Booze Party
For $300,000 Fire
In Which Five Died
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. —
State fire investigators today delv
ed into reports that a liquor party
was responsible for a fire which
vesterday destroyed the coliseum,
a large auditorium, with loss of
$300.000 and took a toll of at least
five lives.
Hours of probing for the bodies
of additional persons believed
caught under falling walls in the
new annex of the structure, where
150 new motor cars were housed,
lay ahead of rescue parties. Tons
iof brick and twisted metal must
f be cleared before the workmen can
ireach partially standing walls
where additional persons may have
been crushed to death. The tot
tering partitions themselves con
stitute a hazard which brought
about suspension of toil late last
Inight.
State Fire Marshal C. R. O'Neal
was directing an investigation of
a rumored drinking party ‘in the
north end of the building shortly
before the flames were discovered
Tuesday morning. O’Neal also
sought to learn the identity of
persons reported to have shohted:
