The demand for six-room houses is
increasing. During these prosperous
years thousands of young men as well
as older men have accumulated a little
money and have grown tired of paying
rent, which has resulted in a deter
nlnadon to own homes of their own.
From watching tne building of small
houses their interest has increased.
Ihey have sent for books of house
plans and studied the different designs
and have finally selected houses to suit
their needs and to fit their bank ac-

and the sign is a good one. The best
class of citizens live in their own
homes; a fact that is recognized the
world over The more homes we save
the more interest people take in local
improvements and municipal govern
ment. This is home-rule country and
the home is the local unit.
For 20 years the general trend has
been toward smaller houses. There
are many reasons-too many to men
tion-but one of the principal causes
is the education people have had
through fat life ifs the larger towns
and cities.

WAGNER FOOLED the Critics,

Here is a story of Wagner's visit
to London in 1855: After the first Phil
harmonic concert the critics re-
preached him for conducting a Bee
thoYen symphony without the score.
At the second concert, to satisfy his
audience, Wagner had a partition"
on his desk, which he frequently con
suited. The critics declared the i'm
provement was marked. The score,
however, was Rossini's Barber de
Seville.

characterize the excuse Of the Saints as
being flimsy in the extreme. The game
was arranged for last evening, but the day
before the Z. d. S teiephoned that unless
a bonuc of $25 in addition to their ex-
penses was guaranteed, the game would
be called off. Coach Terry refused to be
held up. and secured d team from the B.
Y. L. of Provo. The game was rather
one-sided, the score being Il to II in ia
vor of Lehi. The feature Of the game was
the star playing Of John Wood one
armed youth who played center in the
second half, and played all around his
Provo opponent.
