HOME OWNERSHIP
The San Francisco Chronicle be
lieves that the homes of the world
are what the work of the world is
done for. To build them and keep
them is the first concern of a stable
civilization. So essential to happi
ness are homes that many European
countries have made their construe
tion a public utility. Ihere is no
such need of paternalism here, where
' a liberty-loving people will provide
iits own homes without government
subsidy.
A new spirit is born of ownership
There is dignity in a permanent set
tlement. It was the hand on the
plow that made America great. What
was owned was worth fighting for.
In an industrial age, with population
massed in cities, that proprietorship
which steadied the farmer must be
transferred to ownership of homes
Home ownership means better cit
izenship. The family that the land
lord is apt to discriminate against
is encouraged in the home. In good
home districts there is a dearth of
juvenile delinquency. Anything that
enhances the dignity of man en
hances his character.
The proper time to begin to think
about buying your own home is
right now.

HALF CENTURY PROGRESS
The first telephone message was
sent in 1876, 50 years ago. So great
hns been the growth of the system
that now in 1926, 67,700,000 tele
phone conversations take place each
day. The two telephones of 1876
have increased to 16,000,000 instru
ments today. The first telephone line
of 30 feet has grown to a network
of more than 40 million miles of
, wire; and switchboards, buildings,
pole lines, cublos, conduits, and oth
er forms of plant have been con
structed, costing over $2,500,000,000.
As President W. S. Gifford, of
the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company, recently said, "The
advances which have been made dur
ing the fisrt 50 years of the work
of the Bell System are unparalleled
in the history of communication.
They are contributions which will
make forever memorable this great
epocn in our progress, we are now
at the beginning of a new era filled
with boundless opportunities for ad
vancement in the business and
science of telephony. Upon the foun
dations that have been so securely
laid, we can look forward to the
telephone system of the future,
which in effectiveness and useful
service, will surpass all that has
gone Del ore."

phere. There will probably be a
bigger carry-over thi8 year than
last. In Oregon, there is usually
little tendency among dealers to car

house practice for the dealers to
own as little as possible of wheat on
March 1, the time of assessment of
taxes.

The Social Side
BRIDGE CLUB
Mrs. Henry Dell was hostess Fri
day afternoon when she entertained
the Athena bridge club. Clusters of
yellow tulips and jonquils, violets
and pussy willows lent a spring-like
atmosphere to the affair. Three
tables were in play, Mrs. Frank
Ames winning high score and Mrs.
Fred Kershaw the consolation. The
hostess served a dainty collation at
the tea hour.

GUESTS OF CLUB
When Mrs. A. A. Kimball of Pen
dleton entertained the Spizzeringtum
club at her home Monday she in
cluded a group of Athena ladies
among her guests. Those motoring
down for the affair were Mrs. M. L.
Watts, Mrs. B. B. Richards, Mrs. O.
O. Stephens, Mrs. R. B. McEwen and
Mrs. II. II. Hill.
FOREST FIRE PREVENTION
Total number of forest fires show
ed a considerable decline last year,
leading to the assumption, that at
last the campaign of educating the
public to reasonable rare against
lire is beginning to bear fruit.
For example, the acreage burned
over in national forests in California
was only about one-eighth of the
area of last year and cost of fire
fighting was only about one-tenth.
This is more remarkable because
there was an increase in number of
fires from spontaneous conbustinn
and other natural and unavoidable
causes.
The 1925 report sets a good ex
ample for this year and if the need
for constant vigilance is kept in the
public mind we may succeed in still
further reducing destruction of our
forests through heedless handling of
fire.
PLAIN TAX STATEMENTS
In discussing the necessity for
businesslike and reasonable taxation
laws, the Philadelphia Public Ledger
As government developed tho de
magogue appeared and the improvi
dent began to hate the provident.
There were demands that the rich
should divide with the poor, that
the thrifty should give up his sav
ings to the unthrifty. The demag
ogue docs not care that the destruc
tion of wealth reacts upon the very
pour whose comfort his heart bleeds.
National prosperity is fostered by
fostering the prosperity of the in
dividual. And the very weaklings
who want to penalize wealth are
benetited by the overflow of that
prosperity which they would check
by ill-considered taxes."
