HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE.

Cottage That, II Il Claimed. Can Be Put
Up for s6oo-A Fine Looking House for
$500.
There has never been time in the history
of mans civilization whepsthe building or
houses for homes received so much attention
as now. 1t is becoming the ambition Of
every man, no matter what his financial
level. to own his own home, and the various
forms of cooperative real estate buying and
building-the loan association and the like
have rendered it far more feasible than In
the past for every man to realize this most
laudable desire. The results are marvellous.
Neat, tasteful and artistic houses are spring
ing up everywhere. The landlords occupa-
tion in many cases is gone The wage Garner,
the small business man and the professional
man are now their own landlords to an ex-
tent that would have been deemed impossible
thirty, twenty, nay, five years ago. And
not the least gratifying feature OF this state
of affairs is the fact that it causes every man
to give attention to the affairs of his own
community. He is tax payer-why should
he not concern himself with the adnlinistra-
ton of tho government of his town, his vii
lage, his cityi
Let the good work go on. Let the people
of this country become people of home own
ers, independent and self respecting. Nothing
can moro certainly conduce to the greatness
of the country as whole; nothing will moro
certainly tend to render solid the foundations
of peace, public prosperity and the institu-
tions of the general government.
The publishers of this paper, recognizing all
this, have decided to furnish its readers with
a series of designs and plans for houses of va
rying cost. from the cottage of a few hundred
dollars expense to the elegant villa. 1t is ex-
pected that the plans will combine economy,
convenience and beauty. They have been So
lected from a number of standard sources
and an estimate of cost win be given in each
case, though this is an element that must nee
essarily vary greatly in different localities.
