'Own Your Own Home' Idea Growing Popular (By John C. Hare in Philadelphia Public Ledger.) The "own-your-own-home"? movement, which was inaugurated several years' ago in Philadelphia and .whichhas been productive of much good by focusing attention on the many advantages accruing to the borne owner as compared with those enjoyed by the Jheuse renter, is spreading rapidly in other cities of the country, Real. , estate brokers' associations in those cities have met with considerable success in organised efforts not only to induce the householder or ^hp ^pros-( pective householder to invest ip ft dwelling, but to promote the building of such homes as the people need. In these efforts the Philadelphia home has always been used as the model individual dwelling, a reputation which it has long enjoyed. Much has been spoken and written in advocacy of home owning, .'and virtually all of it is true. Indeen, there has yet to be advanced one argument against such an investment as the purchase of a dwelling which is worthy of an answer. advantages enjoyed" by the home owner over those by the house renter are so many and so various that they admit of no dispute. There is, however, a wider aspect of house ownership which is not so often touched upon, and that is its close relationship to the general welfare of, the whole nation. Ever since man ceased to dwell in tents and to exchange the roaming habits of his early ancestors for settled habitations in villages, towns and cities his pro- j gress in civilization has been meas- j ured largely by the number and the character of the houses he built, and this is true with respect to every civilized nation on the earth today. The naked savages of Central Africa are content with a palm-roofed hut, which is at all times a more or less temporary habitation, easy to construct and easy to demolish if the owner finds it necessary or desirable to remove to another location. The Eskimo iu his snow igloo, which melts over his head with the incurrence of spring .Sunshine; the Mongol of the Asiatic plateau in his felt tent, which, never remains longer thart- a few months *11 one location, and the Australian aborigine in his thatched shelter, constructed bf reeds and brushy are farj removed from the civilization of today. They are probably comparatively content in their.'present surroundings, but their content is of the kind possessed by those who have never known any better conditions of living. The progressive man has always bfeen characterized by the constructive instinct, which finds expression not only in the dwellings and monuments he has 'built, but in the strong national organizations which he has created through centuries of effort. ^ The home is, and always has been, the 4 unit from which the nation is built, and unless human nature changes very materially in the coming centuries it will probably always Continue to be the cornerstone of national stability hnd prosperity. The habit of home building and home owning, therefore, has a much deepi&gitolVcance than It has 'when up fl^ to, tile manner of life of the individual alone. It is a powerful factor in the development in the citizen of a sense of responsibility to his family and to his country, without which' no state can long exist. The Athenians, says one of their historians, were nearly always ready for a revolution 'because, while their rulers built magificient temples and palaces the people in the city had no homes tin which to live. The resident? of great American cities are better housed than those of any other country in the world, and of no other American city is this more true than of Philadelphia, where house building and house owning has always been a habit. William -Penn, the founder of the city, dwelt with pride on the -progress of his little colony when he wrote to friends in England in his third year of residence in America: "We have now 'thirty brick dwellings on the banks ,of the Delaware and twice as many more built of oak or other timber. Next year we hope to double that number." Penn's statue on City Hall tower now looks out on a far-flung city of hundreds ?f thousands of comfortable well-built dwellings, which are added to each year by several thousands more, any ?ne of which contains more | comforts and conveniences Jhan any of his original householders ever considered possible. The fact that the I vast majority of these dwellings arc owned by their occupants is a just source of pride to the people of the city and a guarantee of Its present position and future progress as one of the world's greatest centers of industry and commerce. - nr - . 9" M AIM-; TO FLORIDA.

' % I i .Making the Southland a Neighborhood For many years the great distances that separated the spacious plantations and the scattered cities of the Southland isolated the southern states from one another and from the rest of the world. But no longer is the South isolated. Today it has ^aken the place it deserves in the nation's industry and commerce. Modern transportation by land, water and air carries the products of southern farms and factories to all parts of the world. An important factor in this modern era is the telephone. Whether you depend pp it to carry your voice around the corner, across the continent or over the Atlantic, you will find it ready to serve * you?speedily, efficiently, economically. This company is ever alert to reduce telephone distance, to make larger telephone neighborhoods. To that end we are spending over $30,000,009 during 1929 in the nine southeastern states that we serve. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY INCORPORATED * I Farmers Attention!
