GREAT LAKES MAKING
SHIPBUILDING RECORD
DETROIT Mich., June 19 (by Asso
ciated Press).—When the shipbuilding
program for 1919 is completed in No
vember, the yards of the Great Lakes
«* will have turned out complete 52(
vessels since September 1917, wher
construction for the government was
started. Of this number 447 will bs
cargo carriers, and the remainder tugs
including 38 of the seagoing type, 15(
feet long.
The lake yards were going at toi
speed when the armistice was signet
in November. It was during this montl
r—— " " —
that a record was established by com
pletion of 28 ships. Between the sign
ing of the armistice and the opening
of navigation approximately 400,000
deadweight tons of shipping was pro
duced in the lake district.
The first of a fleet of 40 oil-burning
freighters being built in the Detroit
district will soon be on the way to
the Atlantic cpast. They will be of the
same tonnage as the coal burning car
riers built for the United States Ship
ping Board.
UNCULTIVA' LANDS
BE TAXED IN TAHITI
PAPEETE, Island of Tahiti, June 19
(by Associated PresB).—A law has
been framed and awaits the approval
of the home government providing for
the taxation of uncultivated lands
throughout the islands.
At the present time there is no land
tax, and by the provisions of the pro
posed law, all lands now under culti
vation, and those whoich shall be
planted within a period of five years
after the enactment of the law will es
cape the impost. Only those tracts
that remain uncultivated after five
years will come under the levy.
The involved ownership of land hy
native families due to the application
of the French laws of succession and
the intricate legal proceedure neces
sary to establish individual titles are
causes which are said to have dis
couraged the cultivation of many fer
tile parcels of land in the different
islands.
Miss Clara Myheres, sister of Mrs.
C. W. Ask of Skagway, with whom
she visited, making many friends in
Skagway, was married recently in
South Dakota to Rudolph Borsvold.

"—I
Own Your Own
Home
It is a striking fact that men in the same conditions
and environments enthusiastically take wholly different
attitudes on the same subject. Among a number of men
working under the same conditions for the same pay on
i the same job you will find some perfectly satisfied and
some wholly dissatisfied. As the outward conditions are
the same to all, there must be something in the men them
selves that makes this difference of attitude. Some men
are constitutionally obsessed with the feeling that this
v old world is headed down hill to the bow-wows, and that
upon them has fallen the task of preventing the almost
inevitable catastrophe. There is another class that know
this is a good place to live and with all their five senses
are feasting upon the good things and rejecting that
which is had. It is the former that herd in mobs and
head riots; it is the latter that are the balance wheel of
^ civilization, and prevent the machinery of organized
society from tearing itself to piecs. The former are the
malcontents, the nomads, the iconoclasts and professional
> agitators. The latter are the members of our churches,
* the supporters of our schools, the patrons of our arts and
| the owners of homes. The distinguishing difference be
tween these two classes of men is in their ability to select
V and appreciate the things that are really worth while
in life. No one ever saw home owners herding in mobs
or heading riots. The man who owns his home enjoys
the ordered scheme of life. He instinctively knows it is
the only scheme that will protect his family and foster
that family influence that produces the type of character
that gets most out of life for the individual and does most
for the other members of society. The man who owns
a home or has the home-owning instinct is always a re
sponsible citizen and gets a satisfaction out of living un-*
known to the man who has no place that he can call his
very own.
Among men with the same advantages in life with
the same earning capacity and with the same earnings
you will find home owners and men whose names never
appear upon a registry of deeds. Each has spent his
earnings in his own way—the one for the things that
endure for a day—the other for a home, a place that is
his to have and to hold, a place upon which he can stamp
his own individuality, a kingdom in which he is undis
puted monarch, a haven for his declining years, and a
monument when lfe is done. Any man who really desires
to, can own a home. It may require saving and sacrifice,
hut everything worth while must be striven for. The fact
that every foot of ground, every board in the walls,
every shingle upon the roof represents a temporary
sacrifice and hard work, only adds to the enjoyment of
his home.
, Buy a home, work and pay for it, enter into a strata
; of life yon haven’t yet tapped and see how quickly your
foolish fears for the final finish of things will evaporate
and what a satisfaction ther is in being.
