The demand for houses has be-

for the same place, contingently, and
each 1s waiting his turn like men dol
in barber shops or as people do at the
delivery window of postoffice. In
such instances, 1t is of course par
ticularly desirable house and the pro-
posed change by some applicant is in
order to suit themselves better as to |
habitation. A few houses are still un-
rented, but lack of barn, or some
other feature is what keeps them va
cant. ALI will be filed long before
college opens.
