Speaking of the increased value in
| farms, the Bangor News tells of the
| experience of Il man over in Holden.
| This man purchas I'd a house and barn
and % acres of land. paying $l,400 for
the same. AS the buildings were in Il
fair condition, and as the man was in
poor health he made no improvements
| on the premises. Two years ago his
| health failed so that he could do no
kind Of hard work. He then offered
to sell the place for $1,000, but could
not dispose of it for that price. While
he was waiting for a purchaser, free
delivery route was laid out past his
house, of which he became Il patron.
No sooner was this established than
the owner advanced the price of his
farm to $500, believing the new route
had enhanced its value one-half Last
winter he proved that his judgment
was correct, for he sold the homestead
for $500 and was permitted to remain
upon the premises until spring without
paying rent. During the time he was
waiting he read the papers and learned
where another new free delivery route
was about to be established, and though
he was feeble and hardly able to do the
business. he went along this unborn
route and bought another farm, moving
tEither in time to plant small crop
last spring. The new route is now an
established fact. The farmer who be-
lieves in free delivery routes is now
wishing TO sell his farm, but he charges
| $500 more than what he paid. He says
| that if new routes continue to spring
| up in Maine he can get rich at this
| form of speculation, making more mon
| ey in buying and selling farms than ne
could at farming if he We're in perfect
| health. This tale is no fancy sketch
made I'D to be read. 1t is an actual
| fact.
