FINE RECORD MADE
DURING LAST YEAR
And New Year Must Step Some
II It Wants to Have
More Building.
HALF MILLION WAS SPENT
MoND, ACCORDING TO RECORDS
At CONTROLLERS OFFICE
BOOM is STILL ON.

Prospects are exceedingly bright for
the current year in respect to real es-
tate in Richmond. The growth in
this particular line of business during
the year past has been remarkable ac-
cording to every real estate dealer
in the city. So great was the demand
for houses to rent in Richmond last
summer that for a period of several
weeks it was utterly impossible to
meet it. 1t is said that until last sum-
mer not for period of many years
had every house in the city been rent
ed. During the months of July and
August the demand for houses to rent
was appalling and the office Of every
real estate dealer in Richmond was
visited daily by dozens of persons in
quest of homes.
Stimulated Building.
AS the result of this increasing de-
mand many houses were built and
were rented Immediately on compile
ton. There were probably more
houses erected in this city last year,
it is said. than in any other year in
the history of the Quaker City. But
the present year promises to eclipse
even that of last in this respect. The
record, however, is hard one to beat.
for during the year 1909 two hundred
building permits were issued by the
city controller, totaling the vast
amount of $514,445. The largest single
permit granted was for s124,OOO for
the erection of the new high school
building on North Ninth and B
streets. The permit was issued May 4
1909. Two other large permits were
granted in February. One was for the
erection of the Murray theater, for
$4,000 and the other was for the cree
ton OF the st. Mary's church, for $780,
900. Work on the high school build
ing is being rushed and, tits thought,
will be completed by September, I'M
less weather conditions interfere
The Murray theater has been COM
pleted and is one Of the most attrac-
tive buildings in the city, filling up a
vacant lot which was an eye-sore on
one of the principal corners of Rich
mond. Owing to the difficulty in Sc
curing the material the work on the
st. Mary's church has been greatly
hampered, bur it is practically certain
that the structure will be completed
before summer and it will be a build
ing Of which Richmond may be justly
proud.

BOOTS AND SHOES.
The general extravaganza of dress
this season shows itself also in the
boots intended for wear with after
noon costumes of velvet and satin.
! Time was when kid or cloth top
ped patent leather boot answered all
requirements of this sort. Now one
| must have pair of exquisite boots
| built to order to match each costume
There are white boots embroidered
on instep and vamp with jet beads;
there are bronze boots embroidered
with gilt beads.
Black boots embroidered with JET
| beads and laced with white ribbon are
particularly chic with black costumes
An innovation this winter for dressy
wear is the laced boot. heretofore but
toned models having been given the
preference for all dress-up occasions.
These laced boots are most dainty
| in cut and fashioning and have light
turned soles and slim, pretty heels.
They are finished with embroidery
beading and other fancy devices and
| sometimes have tassels at the top tc
add daintiness.
High shoes, laced at the side, have
made an appearance after a generation
of oblivion, and other novelties are
gold leather boots with kid tops, col
ored cloth boots with silk tops and kid
boots with silk underlays beneath
slashings in the kid.
Even these street boots show the
little extravaganza and eccentricities
of style that mark more dressy foot
wear.

Stamina in Men And

A prominent physician being

the things in life a man needs
health. stony "aWe'f nerves. rn mentai
efficiency. money and social
success" Any man possessing
these five attributes is a sue
first three can be success and
have the other two. Possession
of sound body with strong
nerves is really the requirement
which men need most. Men
need stamina. courage. staying
verance but in order to have
these qualities the nerves must
be strong and keenly sensitive
to every emotion. When a man
has forebodings. sensations of
fear. timidity, accompanied with
such symptoms as trembling
hands and limbs, weak
voice. nervousness. sleepless-
ness. numbness, dizziness. heart
palpitaticn, restlessness, for

others of a similar nature, it

nerves are properly nourished
in sound body. Nature in her
wisdom has supplied certain ex-
tracts. essences. etc, which. if
properly blended. will restore a
normal keenness to the nerves
so that any man can feel the
rich red blood surging through
his body supplying all the ele-

For the benefit of those
temporarily deficient in nerve

AETER The CENSUS.

Every good American finds in the
great totals of the 1910 census much
that is gratifying to his sense of ma
tional pride, The growth which amazed
the world through the nineteenth cen
tury keeps steadily on, and several of
the individual states of the Union have
become much larger than some of the
important countries of Europe. New
states, empires in area, are becoming
imperial in their growth and develop
ment, and nowhere is there sign of
weakness in the bond of national
union.
Yet in the figures which show the
wonderful growth-especially the city
growth in every section-these are
Some things to cause sober reflection.
The loss of population in the rural
communities, both west and east, is
much to be deplored, although the
cityward tendency is nothing new.
Then the distribution and assimila-
tion of the vast army of immigrants is
a problem of increasing difficulties.
1t is never to be forgotten that there
are other things more important than
numbers in making great city or
state or nation. Unless the growing
structure is erected upon the firm
foundation-stones of education and re-
ligion which our fathers revered then
mere bigness is a menace, and our
pride is the pride that goes before a
fall
Our country may well face the rev
year, which is also the beginning Of a
new decade. with gratitude for the
past and confidence for the future
That the 1920 census will show a con
tinuaton Of marvellous growth, nt
man can doubt How grand a thing il
will be if civic responsibility keeps
pace with population; and there is
where each individual has an Important
part to play.-Youth's Companion.

STATE RETAILERS TO FIGHT
AGAINST BAD CHECK" MEN

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 28.-During the
past year $43,276 was lost to the mem
bers of the State Retailers Associa-
tion of Oklahoma through the cashing
of bad checks, according to the an
nual report of the association just is
sued The number of local aSsocia-
tions was increased during the year
from 20 to $40 and the membership
from $50 to 6,100. During the year
members filed with the associations
to have collected bills aggregating
$1,56S,910, of which 21.5 per cent was
collected and saved to the merchant.
Also in ferreting out and exposing
fake advertising schemes the associa-
ton actually saved to members the
sum of $616.500 This makes a total
of nearly a million dollars saved to
members during the year. an average
of 165.45 to the member, while the cost
of maintaining the associations, state
and local, averaged but $500 a mem
Der. Members of the legislature are
pledged to enact a law at the near
regular session protecting the retail
ers from bad check men. The next
annual convention of retailers will be
held in Wagner, January 1913

Tomorrow is Christmas. Much is
being said and written about the
Christmas spirit" Newspapers and
magazines are printing long articles
about the Christmas and from thou
sands of pulpits the preachers are TAX
ing a shot at it. 1t is we'll to discuss
this subject at this time, and the
world needs better understanding of
what it means. We are having saner
Fourths OF July because of the con-
stant agitation of the Righteousness

erty attending the violence that has
characterized the celebration of the
Fourth of July. The right Christmas
spirit would also work a revolution in

Christmas spirit is the good spirit. The
kindliness of our nature should have

unto but to minister" and that was

defensive tactics in the first half of

Those who were fortunate enough to
see Three Weeks" at the Auditorium
last night witnessed the greatest stage
play that has come to Vinita in many
a day The little novel written by
Elinor Glyn a few years ago received
more criticisms good and bad than
nearly any book written in genera
ton. Anthony Comstock turned white
with rage and tried to have the book
barred from the mails and the prudes
and ultra-modest ones all over the
country held up their hands in holy
horror at the nasty" book.
But the great underlying truth and
teaching of the narrative was not OBJ
served
The teaching of "Three Weeks is
clean and wholesome. The great bible
lesson that whatsoever man soweth
that shall he also reap" is brought
out with wonderful art and distinct
ness. The good queen that revelled
for three weeks in the fascination OF
an immoral love paid the price, just
as every man and every woman pays
the price of sowing wild oats. Those
who SOW must reap the harvest, and
the ones who expect to escape -reaping
the crop of their own sowing are
simply mistaken. Sometimes a mar
thinks he is fooling everybody and
having the time of his life and viii
never have to suffer the consequences
but by and by he has to face tho
music and harvest the oats.
