NOTES An enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Rev. J. D. and Mrs. McClennan on Wed nesday of last week. After the business meeting of the Chris tian Endeavor society, a short program was given followed by games. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Guttridge, The officers of Springwater Grange will be installed on Sat urday, Feb. 14. Miss Jennie Dahquist of Gresh am, has been visiting her mother Mrs. J. M. Hayden. Mrs. J. F.

Back in 1916 the supply of houses j ust about kept up with the demand. Population was in creasing at the usual rate of 13 per cent a year. During 1917-18 everybody was busy “ winning the war,” and construction of houses fell off to about one-third the usual figure. January, 1919, found us with these four million mer. coming back into civil life, the accumu lated demand of two or three years, came all at once. Three years’ supply of houses were needed at once. Instead of hav ing them we are short 2,000,000 homes that would normally have beor\ built during 1917-18. Here we have an unusually large de mand and 2,000,000 less houses than the ordinary supply. The law of supply and demand—the law that fixes prices—has raised rents. The only thing that can bring rents down is this same basic law. If the balance is to swing the other way—to lower rates- -we must build. We are all here and we’ve got to live somewhere, so there isn’t much chance of cutting down the demand.- The Manufacturer.
