When the lot is paid for a house can be built the same way. 1 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 excuse of a wife that is not willing to i 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 is better in my opinion than a rented palace. It is cheaper to pay on a home in installments than to always rent and at last have nothing. I These truths apply just as well to he farmer as to the town man.

In this day cheap farm lands there is no reason why a young farmer who is 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. are cheap in Texas yet, but they are going to advance right along and the sooner you get your head to own a farm the better off you will be. You may not be able to pay much on it now, but little by little you can pay for it and all the time you will have the in centive to work and to save which can come alone from the ownership of a home of your own. A stout, healthy American, man, not tied down by unusual incumbrances can accomnlish anything reasonable to which he sets his head and his 1 hands.

(Simp) Spencer is going to ask the democratic voters of Ellis i county to elect him to the office of county tax collector and authorizes this paper to make formal announce ment of his candidacy. Simp Spencer is a product of Ellis county, being born and reared on a farm near the city. He has resided in Waxabachle several years and has served the city efficiently as secretary of the town council. At the expiration of his term as city secretary he was appointed chief clerk in the county office which place he has continuously filled. Having had several years experience in the office Spencer is eminently qualified to take upon himself the duties and responsibilities of the collection of the state and county funds.

Mr. Span- cer is a pleasant, courteous gen- I tleman and has many friends who will give his candidacy a warm sup- port. He places his announcement before the people subject to the action of the democratic primary election. Month. Open.

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 can see semething permanent come as the result of her labors, when she thinks that when this is done that she may call home her own. The children, whom it is hard to interest in a rented place, become enthused as much as their parents in the work about the family home. 1 do not believe that it is possible to raise up children as they should he without the permanent influence of home life. The family that has an interest only for a year or two in a place can not feel that it is home.

Even the law recognizes the superiority of a man who owns his home, a man cannot serve on jury until he is a land owner and there are other things which the law regards him as unfit When the state regards it as a necessity for genuine citizenship, personal pride should inspire a man to do his best to come up to the full measure fixed by the law, I believe that children whose parents habitually rent are hampered in their development by this very fact. They feel more keenly a sense of caste than their parents. They know that there is something lacking in their lives. It is hard under such circumstances to fire them with that ambition which i should he part of the life of every child.
