BRIGHT FOR REAL ESTATE.


 The St. Louis Post Dispatch re- gently published series of inter- views with prominent men all tending to show that real estate was going to be in greater demand and that prices must advance. There arc many reasons why this should be so and as the demand increases Arkansas lands will surely feel the advance in prices.
 We find room for the following extracts of interviews or state ments:
 "So good an authority as Ros- well F. Flower says that this country is on the eve of the big gcst movement in real estate 1t has ever known. When 1t is con- sidcred that this has been coun- try of big movements in land that it is the birthplace of the word "boom"-the significance of the statement can be appreciated.
 !" This movement that is com ing, said MT. Flower, lis going to be as solid as the rock of Gibral- tar. It is sort of a pent-up Niagara at present, kept in check for long time by war issues and resultant nervous feeling
 !" You can put down that the next year is going to see the big gest increase in land values of which this country has ever known. And understand this, too, it will not be because somebody wants to sell real estate. 1t is a rather large incident in the forward movement that will mark the close of this century and the beginning of the next
 Judge E. H. Gary, president of the Federal Steel Co.,, who, within the last few months has travelled through the country very extensively, said: Within the next two years 1 look for the most extraordinary appreciation of real estate values this country has ever witnessed. 1 do not care where man goes-north, south, east or west-everywhere he will see evi- dences of the prosperity that has led up to this. The atmosphere indicates it. In recent trip through the South. 1 was more than surprised at the activity there apparent. Hound the Flag Ter properties, the railroads and hotels, taxed to the utmost, the increase in travel to that section has been phenomenal, and in order to get hotel accommodations, it is now necessary to wire five, six and seven days ahead. The southern people say their prospects never seemed so good.
 Bryan l.. Remedy, who knows the real estate market from beginning to end, says that one of the most notable features of the increase in values is the willing ness of people to pay better prices.
 ''Men who have been noted for investing heavily in securities are now bidding high for real estate.
 ''That shows that they are talk ing their money out of stocks and bonds and putting 1t into ground. The big men are doing this, and the little ones are following their example to a great extent. This is the day of the small investor in real estate"
