The house, needed a. coat of paint, some window; panels were broken, and old newspapers were used to keep the wind out. The foundation under .the front porch was rotted away. The fam ily lived upstairs. - When I knock ed at the door, a woman opened it and asked me ; in an , un friendly r way, what -1 .desired.

She con tinued with her beautifying pro cess, r i t A young man of about 18 years was sitting on a: chair, his feet resting on - the idge of a bed, which had been lately used. This youngster was smoking a cigar ette, reading a book which must have gone through many hands, as it was nearly, falling to pieces. He did not take any notice of me whatever, i , j f: A baby of about 18 months was sitting on the cold and dirty floor, dressed in rags; its face white, unhealthy and pinched;' its eyes big and red;" its -hair curly btft unkempt.: Oh, but it was an'aw. ful picture.

They owned two lots, a. nice green. lawn was in front of the house, the rest was in apples, cherries and prunes, strawberries and raspberries were in bloom. A good sized vegetable gaden was in the back. l.The house was small, two rooms and a kitch en downstairs and two rooms up stairs. It was newly painted and In" good repair. A lady came to the- door; fresh, neat, and clean. The rooms- were In ,fine order, spick and Bpa"ri' There were' plain homespun rugs on' the foor, - f Iow era by the window,' some in full bloom.- a cage - with ' a beautiful canary -was hanging-from the ceil ing. '."A young glrl came forward to greet me, with some embroid ery work In her hand. She was sweet 'and good to look npon wholesome.-innocent; fresh as the. morning dew. : A baby was stand ing in its crib, holding a- rattle In its, little, fat 1 hands, 'laughing, strong and healthy. Oh, what a wonderful picture! A boy of about 14 came into the kichen 'with an armful ,of .- wood rosy-cheeked, bright eyes, full of yigor and eager for work. I had to inspect his rabbits, chickens, , garden, bicycle, tools. etcf He seemed .to own all. Thai lady 1 told me her1 story. How - they . had started .18 years ao,, when .they got married; how fhey' had ;bought the place with hardly any money; Jhow she had attended to. the chickens and the garden, while her husband worked early and ; late.. Then the first baby came (the girl I had seen); what a blessing and joy, this baby. Her husband had-worked harder than ever. They had made little progress at first. Reverses had come, sickness, no- work, etc., but tbey had kept . their faith. ? The struggle ' had pulled them closer together. Now they ;were over the hill. The place was all paid for; they, had some money in the bank. They could afford a little better home,' a little more furniture. The girl was through, high, school, and the boy ' would start 'next year. They had : another . girl; of 10 in the grade school. -; They all were big enough to help around the house after school and. look after the baby.. Her husband had been In "the same employ now for the last '12. ' years;,' he f was earning good wages - and -"they could see with confidence Into the future. A' Ford" drove up to the curbr I was foTgottenr wife; and daughter and son went to greet the head of the household.'

First Nitlonal Bank. .; i ! ; - The fundamental principle of a commonwealth is its- citizenship, built on the foundation of a re source , such as- a home owner, which commands respect and con fidence and is exemplified in the civic pride 1 he exhibits, his good credit,- and the Interest he mani fests .in society generally, . thus adding to the community's wealth and the home owner's resources. H. W.' Mey'ers. Home-ownership not only stab ilizes the backbone of one's estate, but - fixes ? the objective which means so much to all of us.
