WHY —onro—
Desire for Home Ownership |
Is Inherent
Land Is fundamentally the most
(valuable thing that is cherished by
jman. From it he gets his daily sus- |
nce, and upon it he builds his
oe. {
The population of the world stead- |
fly Increases and the value of land
lsteadily enhances. :
Because land is so valuable, it Is
more heavily traded in than is any
other commodity of business. In high
times that trading runs beyond rea-
sonable bounds, and a reaction sets In. |
But these reactions are always fol- |
lowed by advances, and land continues
te be ever more valuable with the
[passage of time. i
The home is the central theme of
wall land value, be that home on a'
small plot in the city or on broad
‘acres In the country. The land re-
(volves around the idea of a home for |
man.
Most of the great fortunes of the
world have been founded on land, and
land will ever be the basis of our clv-
Ifization. :
A city home Involves a plot of land, |
and a house built upon that land.
That house represemts human labor
~ ighrough material produced by that
'Iabor.
Both labor and land command hignh- |
ar values with the development of
.elvilization. The man who owns a
|home has a small part of the two
most valuable things known to man |

demons are supposed to flee from red.
Sacred trees and stones were painted

rites savages daubed themselves with
zed clay. Another very probable rea- :
son is that it is the color of blood.
Psychological experiments have
shown, too, that red has a peculiar |
effect on the functioning of the duct-
less glands, particularly the adrenal
glands which control the emotions of
fear and anger. When primitive man '
was startled, the secretion of the
adrenal glands poured into the veins
and specded up the heart action, im- |

These varied facts and superst!-

| There is nothing deader than a dead
; town. Try as hard as it may to con-
ceal the facts, the cruth is written all
| over it so that he who runs may read.
| No camouflage of bluff and bluster can
~ conceal the true situation from anyone |
| who comes within the limits of the
| community. A dead town is dead and
! that's all there is to it.
The worst of it is that once a town
dies it stays dead. There have been
exceptional cases in which dead towns
have been revived, have taken on new
| life and prospered, but these are mere-
ly the exceptions that prove tbe rule.
' The fact that a town can seldom
| “come back” is easily explained. The
growing and prosperous town today
: is the one that can attract new resi-
| dents and new capital. It Is one that
| can offer attractive inducements for
the location of mew industries. The
dead town offers no attraction to out-
side capital. A man lovking for s
place to launch a new business or a
new location for an old industry, ls
not going to pick out a dead town.
He is going to select a town in which
money is plentiful, a town whose busi-

that is dead. This is the reason that
a town, once dead, almost always re-
mains dead.

gains by having it kept in circulation,
but when It is spent away from home,
either by being sent to the mall order
hotises or by shopping trips to other
| cities, the town's capital Is impaired
to that extent and if enough money is
spent away from home in that way,
the town collapses and virtually goes
into bankruptcy just as does the cor-
poration which dissipates its capital.
The people of a community are aph
their fortunes are bound up with those
of the community as a whole. They
do not realize that If their town falls
they will fail with it. They—or many
of them at least—send thelr money
away to the mail order houses In the
great cities, without realizing that they
are impairing the capital of their own
corporation and that if enough of them
pursue that course they will force their
corporation into certain bankruptey.
Merchants Not Only Ones Hurt
Many customers of mall order
houses say that they are under no
obligation to trade with their home
merchants and this may be true, They
overlook that fact that the business
men of a town do much for their com-
munity and are entitled, In return for
what they do, to the support of the
people in the community, but leaving
this out of consideration, they over-
look the fact that they are bringing
about their own downfall when they
drain their town of Its money—its
capital.
