Hufftdent of the Peninsula Lumber com pany and vice-president of the Peninsula National bank. In the former discussions of the "Own Tour Own Home" movement more stress has been laid on the so cial and patriotic significance than on the economic phase. And rightly so, for among the many lessons of the war none has been more strongly brought home to uri than that of the importance i a nation of being a home-owning poople. The French army, holding out against irresistible odds, fought for France and its homes. Five millions of Frenchmen own their farms. The immortal phrase, "They shall not pass," was the Frenchman's expres sion of his uttermost determination to protect his home. The reason America has made such wonderful accomplishments during tire past century and a half is quite largely due to the fact that our fore fathers pinned their faith to the home and that wo are but a few genera tions from that rugged start. Rome Foe to "lams." However, we cannot deny that we have been drifting away from this rock of salvation; therefore, it is time for us to sound the alarm in order that we may assist in every possible way to plant in the minds of true Americans a desire of home ownership. When home ownership is firmly im bedded in the minds of the people of this country many of the "isms" now floating like thistle seeds before our eyes will disappear never to return. In regard to the lumber business the home building movement is bound to have a marked effect upon the ac tivity of the western mills. The trees of the middle states have largely dis appeared. The forests of the south land are rapidly melting away, leav ing but a small area of the United States in the Pacific northwest from which this material can be obtained. This northwest timber district must furniBh not alone her quota of Amer ica's needs, but she must also supply to a very large extent the lumber re quirements of the whole world, for Norway and Sweden have been large ly depleted of their timber supply and Russia, which until recently was fur nishing one-half of the lumber im ported by England, France, Italy, Ger many and other countries, will not be able to assist with her timber crop for many years to come. Prosperity Is Expected. Looking at the home-building movement from the standpoint of na tional prosperity, it is impossible to believe that any act of the American people can excel the results of this work if it is properly carried on, for it will accomplish two great objects (a) Solidarity of our people on t stable foundation; (b) Active employ ment for a huge army of Industrial workers. It is estimated that America today needs 500,000 additional homes. If we would start tomorrow with a well defined two-year programme of build ing and completing these homes, we would find that the gathering to gether of the raw material and the working of that raw material into completed buildings would create payroll sufficient to support 6,000,000 people during the entire two-year Deriod. What more fitting second chapter to the war could we write than this programme? What better answer than this could be given the cry of the agitator? What higher ideal do we need than the re-adoption of those principles of our forefathers which were responsible for the foundation upon which our nation rests, for ver ily those men were home builders. 13 DENY SYNDICALISM Alleged I. W. W. Plead Xot Guilty In' Montesano Court. ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 19. (Spe cial.) Thirteen alleged I. W. W., charged with criminal syndicalism, came into Judge Sheek's court at Montesano today and pleaded "not guilty." The date of their trials was fixed as January 29. None of the men had an attorney, so the court named A. E. Cross, city attorney of Aberdeen, to defend them. The accused men are Joe Hembei- ter; John Bradshaw, George Miller, Stanley Newitt, Sidney L. Scott, Elmer Salento, George Brobic, Anti Koe, Hjelmar Kho, Emit Boetcher, Ernest Lento, Otto Kallio and August Mai kula. ABERDEEN STILL SEIZED 50-Gallon Tank Found In Cellar Under Chicken Coop. ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 19. (Spe cial.) The largest still ever seized by officers on Grays Harbor was conns cated in a raid by the police depart ment on the property of James Wilder in the Sixth-avenue gulch. The still which was concealed and operated in a cellar beneath a chicken coop, is a 50-gallon copper tank, well con structed, except that a lead pipe coil instead of copper was used for con densing. Lead coils have been held largely responsible for the heavy poisoning record made in this section. The po lice have been unable to locate Wilder. ROAD BILL CHAMPIONED Governor Urged Not to Veto Meas ure for Dayton-Salem Road. SALEM. Or., Jan. 19. (Special.) A delegation of citizens interested in the success of the bill including the road from Dayton to Salem in the state highway programme came here today in an effort to save the meas ure from executive veto. There were a dozen or more of these road bills passed In the closing hours of the special session, but as yet the governor has given no inti mation as to wnether he will sign them. Close political friends of the governor say he will sign the road bills, however, in the entire state highway programme. Stephenson Five "Wins. STEVENSON, Wash., Jan. 19. (Spe cial.)
