When lUilt di tome twenty oi twenty five years it low nncp times, here s how we did the job. First i hole fifteen feet or so sauare. wall the nides with a lourse of brick. We called that a cellar and used it for reqetables.

No double Moors, no plumbing, no bath room, no kis or electric light fixtures, and no heating plant, Just :he bare house, plain pine inside finish, and built as cheaply as possible. This old time house of our fathers or grandfathers was heated with stoves, lighted with lamps, the floors cov- vith carpets to hide big cracks and rough places. we carried from a shed ti the back of the lot. water we pumped from a back yard well, and there was only an outside entrance to the cellar. Of course that kind of a house cost but little money in ihe old days. The family satisfied with that type of a house now can get it at low cost. It was a cheap house with Few conveniences bui would not fill the bill now no matter r.'iw low th- cost. What do vnu think about it? It's in tercstmg to reflect a iittle on now and then. Next week we will talk about a modern home. In die meantime lumber is much cheaper than a lew months aoo and the modern home costs less. Talk to your lumber dealer about lumber pric es.
