WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY - Gratifying Increase in Construction Noted in Practically All Parts _of the Country, ) It is gratifying to read with what vigor.and energy Americans are build- ing homes for themselves. During the war.-and for a time after it few pri- vate -homes were built, but now the country is making up for™lost™ time. In the ten months of this year ending Y October 31, more than $600,000,000 worth of houses were built, and be- fore the year is ended the value of newly constructed buildings will be above $722,000,000. . Domiciles . will help- the nation to bring about bettey conditions. Men who own houses al- ways are good citizens; they feel of more importance in the land, and no man on earth will fight hardér for any- thing than will the person who battles to protect the roof that covers him- self and family. It is believed that 1922 will be the banner year in the putting . up.-of--hotses;: ;pexhaps ;their; . total value will reach the billion mark. Then will come the cheaper rents; landlords no_longer will go about b'fl% TURNING TO HOME BUILDIN(:‘lk ing and hazing tenants, but rather w they be offering—as of old—a montly, of free rent to those who will leasas their apartments.—New York Morning Telegraph.

Va., a village of forty-two families, challenges the world for the honor as the most model and contente@ town. There are just thirty-five families with an average of four persons each in the village who own their own homes and seven other families_ who ay the landlord for their domiciles. Of the thirty-five home owners but one has an encumbrance on his prop- erty, and that is i1 and will be cleared off within ty days. A fine undenominational church counts every resident of the town as a member. There are no poor people in Stony Bot-' tom, neither are there any who can claim to be rich. None Is in debt.

Town and city planning do not.find | their value in developing the esthetic’ side alone, but also apply the sound business fundamentals of maintenance and improvement to the community, declared B.
