passes through their hands now is d.
vided into twenty, forty, sixty and
eighty acre tracts.
This change has come about from
various causes the principal reason
being farm labor and greater inclin-
alton toward intensive cultivation of
the land. For it has been found that
the man who goes into truck farming
or farming on a small scale can do
much better than the man who is
land poor"
Dealer Cites Case.
One real estate dealer cited the case
of a man to whom he sold a tact of
land of three acres south of town.
Three years later he came back and
bought four more acres adjoining him
him at $50 per acre.
Where did you get the money to
pay for the land?" asked the real es-
tate dealer. Simple enough" re.
piled the man. Il went into truck
farming and have paid for my plant
and have this money to reinvest
can't do 1t any better than to put II
back in the same thing"
This county could produce twice as
much" said the agent, IF farmers die
not have such large farms"
Prices $50 and Up.
When asked about the current prices
of real estate the dealer said the price.
ranged from $50 to S16o per acre. The
lower part of the county in the mair
has brought higher price because the
ground is considered better Ont
agent said that the average selling
price of real estate had been too higf
in his estimation. The reporter
showed him the statement of the stat.
statistician giving the average selling
value Of Wayne county land at 500
He shook his head and said that thu
average was much lower. The othel
dealers however were inclined to b.
more optimistic and said that thu

state official had done a good job.

One real estate dealer in particular
was particularly enthusiastic about
the suburban home proposition in
radius of three miles about Richmond.
He thinks there is great future in
this market, particularly on the inter-
urban lines. He cited the case of two
women who, held land on the traction
line between here and Centerville who
had asked him to find them buyers
for their land at $3.50 per acre. This
the agent did.
How Value SCARED.
A few days later they wrote him
that they had decided not to sell their
land at that figure and raised the
price to $3.50, the agent forthwith
found buyers at this figure. There is
no telling how much farther the price
would have been raised but at this
juncture the two women decided to
take the land out of the market and
hang on to it.
Many people who formerly built
houses in the town have now turned
their faces toward the rural districts
where one may keep COW for baby.
Young married couples in particular
are joining the commuter class on the
| interurban lines. The late awakening
to the fact that the fresh air is cure
| for tuberculosis of the lungs il taken
in time has had some influence on the
removal to the country. Many fam.
lilies who have young children are
making an exodus to green pastures
and still waters for the same reason.

COFFTN NAILS

The first attempt to enforce the new
state anti-cigarette law is reported in
a news dispatch from lola, where eight
unterrified youths, under 21 years of
age, were caught red-handed indulg-
ing their fondness for "coffin nails
on the city streets. No penalty was
imposed upon the lads for the reason
that the prosecution was brought by
the city instead of the state authori-
ties. This failure to apply the law ef-
fectiveIy should serve as reminder to
the councils of the various munich
palities over the state to enact ordin-
ances in line with the state law, if it
is desired to break up the injurious
habit of cigarette and, tobacco smok-
ing among their boys.
Notwithstanding the personal views
on the subject that may be held by
individual citizens, the prohibition on
cigarette and tobacco smoking among
miners is now a state law and as such
it should be enforced. It is true that
the state authorities in the several
counties have power to prosecute un-
der the new law, but in order to facili-
tate it's enforcement the cities should
provide ordinances permitting their
officers to cooperate in stamping out
what many reliable medical authori-
ties hold to be pernicious and iniur-
ious indulgence, not only among boys,
but also among those who have
grown UP.
In the city of Topeka there are no.
ticed many callow youths who are daily
making themselves liable to prosecu-
htion in the state courts for violations
of this new law. Some of these intre-
pid youngsters boldly parade the city
streets with reeking pipes between
their teeth, filling the ambient atmos-
phere with clouds of tobacco smoke
Perhaps it would be we'll for the 'scity
dads of Topeka to take the first step
in the adoption of a municipal ordi-
nance against the youthful tobacco
smokers so that the vigilant police
may have something with which TO
employ their time during their tedious
sauntering along their beats.
