lVE SOLVE THE HOUSING PROBLEM

v:hen houses for rent or for sale were
conspicuous by their absence. When
families were leaving the city for
other places, owing to the fact that
thew were unable to beg, borrow or
rent a place in which to live.
However, this condition does not ex-
list in such great measure today.
Houses are more plentiful now than
at anv time during the past few years
but this condition may not remain.
Real Estate dealers throughout the
CITY are continually asking the ques-
tion-Why should man pay big
rental for a house, when for a small
initial cash payment, he can buy a
piece of property and pay for it on
the same conditions as paying rent
for a home?
In an effort to further the pur-
chasing of property, the various real
estate dealers of the city have band
ed together and every Saturday they
are planning to run number of spe-
ciallv good bargains in real estate
and it is to the best advantage of any
prospective property owner in the city
to read these advertisements, then
make personal visit to the offices or
Office and then visit the property and
find out the value of the house or
property advertised.
Don't fail to watch for this page of
advertisements II every Saturday
edition of the Gazette until further
notice.

MIDDLE CLASS IS
WORST SUFFERER
Lord Buckmaster Points Out Some of
the Hardships of Present
Conditions

London, December 13.--Lord Buck
master, formerly Lord Chancellor, de-
clared in the House of Lords the other
day that the people of middle class
in Great Britain were being slowly
ground to powder under present con-
ditions."
There is a large body of people
whom" he said "for want of better
definition, I will call the. middle class
the people engage as civil servants
doctors, lawyers writer's and school
masters, all the people who earn relat-
lively small income, say from 300 TO
1000 and who are the most thrifty and
the most self sacrificing class in the
whole country. 49,
"They are people who stint them
selves sometimes of almost the nee
essities of life in order that they may
gives their sons a better chance at
school and at college: they are the
class which has recruited all our finest
people all over the globe.
What is the result? Every time the
currency is inflated the hand Of the
state is put into their pockets. and
from their small. hard-won earning
are taken away in order that other
people may have more.
These are the people who are being
slowly ground to powder under the
present conditions, and I say it Is the
class which represents the life-grow-
ing point of the nation. If that class
is once destroyed 1t will be imposs-
lple that it should ever be replaced"
