Reynolds, president of the Continental and Commercial Natioanl bank of Chicago, has sent to the U. S. Department of Labor a letter giving assurance of his support of the Own Your Own Home campaign. Mr. Reynolds says: “If should be every man’s ambition to own his own home. In realizing that ambition he will be providing for the future of his family and himself. He will be doing far more than merely furnishing a roof over the heads of those he loves; he will be laying the foundation upon which his children will build firmness and nobility of character. “Patriotic impulse prompts the desire to own a home, and patriotic duty calls for the building of homes now, when the employment of labor in that manner will do much toward providing work for the boys who are returning from the front.. Apparently not mudh is to be gained by waiting for a decline in prices of building materials, for authorities tell us it is impossible for prices to recede to any considerable extent in the face of costs of production, which are likely to continue without much change for at least a year or two longer. In the meantime, rents are advancing and homes are becoming very scarce. Nothing is more sure to encourage thrift than in the act of acquiring a home. Thousands of men who have had the experience will vouch for the correctness of this statement.” . -D — ABOUT THE SICK The six months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William McCague was taken to the Hope hospital, Fort Wayne, yes terday, for examination. The babe has been ill two weeks of what physicians thought might be spinal meningitis, but they are unable to determine the ailment. Mrs. McCague is with the babe at the hospital. The mother was Miss Ixila Baker. — n ————— Tuesday Evening. May 20. There will he a meeting for the conferring of the Fellow Craft degree Tuesday evening. May 20.
