Charley Carroll, formerly of Hot
Springs and Fairbanks, an oldtimCf,
* writes that he is now working in a

feeling for the North and is undecided
as to his future movements.

in’track events during the many years
he has resided in the North, is trying

pased he would not have contested for
honors for the success of the measure.

I It is a striking fact that men in the same conditions
and environments mthusiaSticTaHy take wholly different
attitudes on the same subject. Among a number of men
working under the same conditions for the same pay on
the same job you will find some* perfectly satisfied and
some wholly dissatisfied. As the outward conditions are
the same to ali, 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
old world is headed down hill to the bow-wows, and that
upon them has fallen the task of preventing the almost
I 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 i
which is bad. 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 pice*. 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 Cf our arts and
i the owners of homes. The distinguishing difference be
tween these two classes of men isdn their ability to select
and appreciate the things that are really worth while
in life. No one ever saw home owners herding in mobs
l or heading riots. The man who owns his home enjoys
the ordered scheme of life.* He instinctively knows it is
J the only scheme that will protect-his family and foster
* that family influence that produces the type of character
's 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 seme advantages in life with
the same earning capacity and"with the same earnings
you will find home owners and. ipen whose names never
appear upon a registry of deeds. Each has spent his
earnings in his own way—the-“(The for the things that
endure for a day—the other'fora home, a place that is
his to have and to hold, a placejupon which he can stamp
his own individuality, a kingdom m which he is undis
puted monarch, a haven for fiiq^fefsliiung years, and a
monument when lfe is done. Any man who really desires
to, can own a home. It maylrequlrysaving and sacrifice,
but everything worth while nrast be striven for. The fact
that every foot of ground,? fltjEfy (bjoard in the walls,
every shingle upon the roof represents a temporary
* sacrifice and hard work, only adds to the enjoyment of
his home. 1U° | j I
Buy a home, work and pft^fon it, enter into a strata
! of life you haven’t yet tapped #d:fee how quickly your'
foolish fears for the final finish^of , things will evaporate ^
and what a satisfaction ther i»»in fating.
