QUOTING BABSOH AGAIN About Home Building Endorsement by Roger W Babson, nationally known financial expert, has previously been given for Federal insured shares for savings and investments. In a cur rent published statement, he now recommends home building at once. "As a primitive urge, building has de scended through ages. As an industry, it is the oldest known next to agriculture. The man of today reads the real estate and builders' ads or roughly sketches his own ideas for a home. He is actuated by the same impulse as was his primitive ancestor in piling up flat stones and weaving branches to make crude walls and a roof. "If you contemplate building, start at once. Certainly, it will be many years be fore you can build as cheaply as you can today. Moreover, if inflation comes, there is nothing better in which to have your money than a little house without a mortgage." If financing is necessary, inquire about our monthly payment direct reduction home loan plan. Neb. City Federal Savings & Loan Ass'n Chartered and Supervised by U. 8.

"His remarks were confined to National Defense largely, as he painted a pic-! ture of conditions along our shore lines and in the outlyine posses sions, particularly with regard to the Philippines, to which vicinity his service in the World war had taken him. Reverting to American ism, he expressed the hope there will be no wave of hysteria in this coun try such as occurred during World war No. 1, when people of foreign birth were often persecuted unjustly. He said in some cases folks of puri tanical forefathers are not as good Americans as those who come to our country from foreign lands and learn our language and traditions, living up to all that could be expected of them. He referred particularly to the great scientists, musicians and others of foreign birth who have done their part to make America great.
