The Children β Aid Society of
Mew York wishes to provide homes

children who come under it· care.
The terms upon which these child-

If you apply for one you should

that you can he properly trusted to
furnish the comforts of a home and
the education and moral training
which will fit the child to take a re-
spectable place in the community.

member of your family and not as

Kvery man should own hi· home.
I b«liot « that it i· possible for every
healthy man in this country to se-
cure a home and pay for It. The
trouble with most people is that
they want to begin life where their
parents stopped. They want as
fine a home at the beginning as
others have worked years to ac-
quire. In the towns in Texas good
building lots can be bought on in-
stallments at about the same price
as for cash. When the lot is paid for
a house can be built the same way.
It is a small salary indeed from
which a man cannot save enough to
pay some kind of an installment on
a home and it is a mighty poor ex-
cuse of a wife that is not willing to
economize until the home is paid
for if she Knows her husband is
doing the same thing. A two room
house that can be called "home" is
better in my opinion than a rented
palace. It in cheaper to pay on a
home in installments than to always
rent and at last have nothing.
* *
*
These truths apply just as well to
ihe farmer as to the town man. In
this day of cheap farm lands there
is no reason why a young farmer
who ie able to work should not buy
a home and pay for it too. You
may not be able to buy as fine a
farm as some of your neighbors
nor to erect so costly a building but
if you are reasonably blessed in
your labors you can get a farm.
I nro phettn in Tovue btlt
- -3 r -Λ ^ «M»
they are going to advance right
along and the sooner you get into
your head to own a farm the better
off you will be. You may not be
able to pay much on i: now but lit-
tle by little you can pay for it and
all the time you will have the in
oentive to work and to save which
can come alone from the ownership
of a home of your own. A stout
health ν American man not tied
down by unusual incumbrances can
accomnlish anything reasonable to
which lie sets his head and his
hand·. The man who never sets
about to secure a home roof for his
wife and children shows evidence
'of an unpardonable weakness or
lack of interest In hi· family
» «
*
Did you ever notice the difference
with which people enter upon a
work on their own home and on a
rented place? It is but natural that
this should be. The drudgery of
every day household work becomes
a genuine pleasure to the wife when
she can see something permanent
come as the result of her labors
when she thinks that when this is
done that she mar call home her
own. The children whom It is hard
to interest in a rented place beconi"
enthused as much as their parents
in the work about the family home.
1 do not believe that it i· possible to
raise up children as they should be
without the permanent influence of
home life. The family that lias an
interest only fur a year or iwo In a
place can not feel that it is home.
Even the law recognizes the su-
periority of a man who own· his
home. A man cannot serve on a
jury until he is a land owner and
ther» are other things for which the
law regard· him as unfit When the
state regard» It us a necessity for
genuine citizenship personal pride
should Inspire » man to do bis best
to come up to the full measure filed
by the law I believe that children
whose parent· habitually rent are
hampered in their development by
th's very fact. They feel more
keenly a sense of cas'.e than their
. urents They know that there ι»
loinethinir lacking in their lives. It
s hard under such circumstances lu

S. W. Spencer.
S. W. (8imp) Spencer is going to
ask the democratic voters of Ellla
county to elect him to the office of
county tax collector and authorise·
this paper to make formal announce
ment of hi· candidacy. Simp Spen-
cer is a product of Ellis county
being born and reared on a farm
I near the city. He has resided in
Waxahachie several years and ha·

tary of the town council. At the
expiration of his term as city
secretary he was appointed chief
clerk in the county collector's
' office which place he has continu-
i ously filled. Having had several
years experience in the office Mr.

! take upon himself the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the collection of the
state and county funds. Mr. Spen-
cer is a pleasant courteous gen-
tleman and has many friend· who
will give his candidacy a warm sup-
port. He places his announcement
before the people subject to the ac-
tion of the democratic primary elec-
tion.
Saved From Terrible Death.
