Among the letters received this week

Real Estate Editor Call: We
take pleasure in giving you facts
and figures in our undertaking to
acquire home on the installment
plan. by which the thousands in
this city now paying rent could de-
rive the same degl ee of satisfaction
that We enjoy. We purchased a
lot and seven room and bath resi-
dence in Twentieth avenue between
Irving ID and Judah CD streets.
sunset district. from Sol Getz &
S4.S50, with a first payment of $500.
The balance we are paying in
monthly installmcnts of $40 with
monthly interest at per cent per
annum and the privilege of paying
more than that amount whenever
we choose, and any such payment
reduces the interest at once. After
Is months experience in this, our
satisfactory enterprise, we find that
our monthly payments of principal
and interest do not amount to the
rent Of the fiat we formerly occu-
pied, and we regret very much not
having tried to secure home years
ago.
Aside from the enjoyment of be-
ing in your own home, thereby
avoiding the little chickering's be-
tween landlords and tenants, we
have already been benefited by the
increase in the value of real estate
In our block, as a lot sold last week
brought $3.50 more than we paid
only short time ago.
Taking everything into consid-
Grafton, we are fortunate that such
good opportunity was given US
and it is our advice to all rent
payers to do likewise. Respectfully

Four Cardinal Points.

Hon. John Lamb has introduced
bill in Congress providing for the
building of a military road from
Yorktown via Williamsburg TO James
town. The basis for such a bill lies
II the fact that these three points
are the most historical in the nation.
ao6 that the Federal government has
reservations al both Yorktown and
jamestown. With concerted acton
on the part OF our Virginia delegation.
and such other southern men in
Congress as are interested. together
with the assistance OF various pstri-
QUO bodies, the appropriation neces-
sary might DC secured easily.
But the scheme OF connecting
1 places OF historical interest woulo
/ not Oe complete without Richmono.
There are really tour cardinal points.
ano the least important is not our
beautiful Capital City. A road
down the Peninsula from Richmond
would meet the military road al this
place. Tourists coming TO Rioh-
mond would them come by motor
car 10 TINS city. thence TO Yorktown
and jamestown. II our people on
the Peninsula viii besur themselves,
this scheme o. highways can be &C
comPlisheo. Even Newport News
on the east would see the advantage
of such highway connections and il
would not DC long before the road
would be extended n that direction
20 include the historical points on
Hampton Roads.
II New England had the histori-
al centers Virginia has, the world
would know OF them and see them
within the year. We have that OF
which no other state in the Union
can boast. but We seem TO be per
