HOME BUILDING.

This is mobile and shifting age People move around
from town to town. Not many people their own
homes as formerly. Workmen dislike to tie themselves
to any town. They wish to be free to change en-
poyers night and if they their own homes they
feel anchored to the spot Whether they gain by this
freedom of location is another question.
The old saying was that three moves equal to
one fire Trucking and freghtage cost heavily nowadays
They eat up the advances in pay that look alluring
Then the workman has to pay higher rent than he
used to- Building costs good money and the landlord
charges up to rent 1t is not advisable to rent unsan
tary quarters at any price cean neat house in which
one can bring up family respectfully costs good money
People who set out to their own homes make no
mistakes For the time being they may have get along
with lower wages than the shutters and rolling stones
But by working in community they gain acquaint
ance that makes them valuable At the end of period
of years they fare well in money way. Chances to 90

one town and identify themselves with the people,
