A man who has spent most of his life in social service work recently | said that he had practically reach" 1 the conclusion that the most effec tive ivay of attacking modern prob lems would be to inaugurate a per manent. nation-wide campaign for home-ownership. His idea i.- that the source of most of our present day troubles are the lack of family stability. The home-owner does n it desert his wife and children. He does not suffer from wander lust. He takes a strong interest in hi.- community. The purchase of his own home j arouses his ambition, his thrift, and i his industry . Being permanently located, lie is I a better father, and husband, a better {citizen and a better worker. The more you think about thi matter, the more you will be con vinced that it is fundamental. The strength of the small towns of this country is rooted ill home ownership. And. without stretch ing the truth, it may lie said that the unrest in large ciies is due to the lack of home ownership.—Oxfor! Public Ledger. AUTO HITS HORSE; RIDER HURT Herbert Robertson Thrown 21!
