Excerpt from Get a Home in Arkansas Was there ever a human heart which did not look fondly back to some hallowed spot which it called home, or looked forward with longing and anticipation to the time when a new and ideal home would be secured and occupied? In every living creature, from the lowest form of animal life up to the most refined and intelligent classes of the human race, the home instinct is, above all other influences, the primary, controlling force which binds the individual to some certain place - that place called and loved as home. The love for home is universal, and, next to self-preservation, is the deepest impulse of all nature, and to the building of that home, whether it be the nest of the bird, the lair, burrow, hole or den of the beast, or the tent, hut, cabin, cottage or palace of man, the greatest care, industry and enthusiasm of life is directed, and as soon as the parental roof is forsaken the heart begins to desire and plan for the new home. He who follows this impulse and puts this natural and praiseworthy desire into practical execution is "the salt of the earth, " and to him all the nations of the world have, do and will forever look and depend for preservation. How heartily we all join in the sentiments so beautifully expressed by the poets who sang "'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." And, "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood, When fond recollection presents them to view."
