WASH1NGTON.-Although not at all
w Utopian in any of their ideas nor
intent upon carrying out a sociological
experiment. a group of ofiiCeholders
in the capital, most of them govern.
ment clerks, has practically completed
plans for the execution of one of the
most novel schemes in the history Of
real estate trading in the capital
Their primary object is to escape the
burden of paying rent in the city and
to substitute suburban life for urban
life, and with this end in view they
intend to found a bungalow town. in
which the limits of cost of nearly
everything necessary to household
upbuilding and maintenance will be
held to the lowest possible level.
Just where Bungalow Town" will
be located has not yet been definitely
determined, but it will comprise an
area of Is to 90 acres, convenient to
some Of the suburban trolley lines.
This land can now be secured at
cost not to exceed $1,000 an acre, and
when 1t is subdivided there will be no
effort to secure profit upon the money
invested, because the purchase will be
distinctly a cooperative affair,
This Joining of interests in the ac-
QUESTION Of property is in itself con.
siderable of an innovation in Wash

1t is known through all parts of the
world that the soil of the Philippines
is very rich and fertile. Yet unmeas-
ured lands are lying idle in the con
stant bright sunshine and never tilled,
and only shrubs and useless grasses
grow on them.
This is due to many reasons, one OF
which is the lack of good roads When
there are good roads through all parts
of our country, the farmer VIII oe
very glad to begin to wake up MS
sleeping land, because in the first
place he can transport his products
to the market easily, writes a Filipino
student, in Farm, Stock and Home
From this fact he can obtain always
much profit. When the roads are bad
the farmer and the animal can hardly
carry instruments to work with, ana
they get tired easily. but where good
roads are built this is not true, for
then he and his beast can work very
fast.
During the rainy season the pigs on
the farms should not be permitted to
dig the roads in order to get food,
for this causes destruction. AS we
already know, when the road from
the farm to the town is good, the
farmer can haul his products to the
market easily,-in the rainy season
as we'll as in the dry season.
Merchants are also very diligent to
go to his farm to buy his vegetables.
Thus he can obtain always much gain.
When the good roads have cOaXed the
farmer to produce more than he did
previously, then there will certainly
be many merchants to carry on COM
merce, and steamers to carry said
products 10 every part of the globe
and therefore the country to which
these farmers belong will be in pros,
perity and progress.
It is the usual talk of the common
farmer that one reason why he does
not like to raise many vegetables is
that other people steal them at night
and this makes him lazy to work
Sometimes they steal also his instru-
ments and his animals, but if there
are good roads, those who keep ord ar
can travel fast to stop flight, to catch
bandits and to do away with all kinds
of public annoyances. and the rob
bers are afraid to steal any more lest
they are seen and captured.
In general the typical land In the
Philippines that is already under cul-
tivation is as well developed as a
cultivated land ought to be. We may
say that it is yet in the beginning oi
real cultivation. 1t is the usual prac.
