ENJOYMENT OF THIS AGE.
Are We Enjoying in This Age What
One Would Term Prosperity?

Are we living in that age where
prosperity is enjoyed in general
throughout this great Inland EN-
pire? What is it that makes this
age more prosperous than in pre-
vious years? The question can be
answered in various ways, but we
will mention the many new inven-

means by which this empire has
made part of its wealth. Among
these inventions we find one meth
cd or plan by which people that
have long been paying rent can
own a home by paying for same
in small monthly instruments, with
out interest Such a plan is Of
fered by Washington Home COM
pany. Its Office is under the Marble
