Farmers Are Among the Best
Investors in Suburban
Lots at Richmond

A report received from the main Of
fee OF the Southern Pacific company In
San Francisco states that, in compar-
ing the shipping receipts of California
products for the last 10 years, it is
found that the shipments of this year
are almost half as much as the total
of the nine previous years combined.
"To get a true perspective of Cali
fornia's real financial condition you
big Cities" said ]. e. Green of Bald
win & Howell. Although we have
nothing to complain of as far as San
Francisco conditions are concerned, we
are more than ordinarily impressed
with the railroads report, as it proves
the prosperity of the farming districts.
This, of course, has it's effect upon
city business. as has been well exem-
plihed in the success of the sale of
our Pullman park lots. This property
is being bought up at a record break
ing pace by all kinds of investors,
many Of them coming from small
towns, where opportunities for invest
ment are not particularly great All
these out of town investors seem to
have plenty of cash and although we
are selling Pullman park lots on the
out of town buyers have preferred to
pay cash.
There is one feature, however, in
regard to Pullman properties that l do
not understand, and that is the reason
why more of our investors do not
build houses. The Pullman works have
started operations and the employees
who have arrived are unable to find
suitable homes. AS a rule these men
have some money and all have good
jobs Almost any of them would be
glad to rent and many would un-
doubtedly buy homes if erected for
them.
IAN investor with 1000 could buy
a good lot in Pullman park and erect
house which could be rented to pro-
duce a good interest. Although the
buyer might have TO borrow some
money at a bank to complete the
house, the interest paid would not
amount to anything compared with the
rental. It is a splendid opportunity
for builders and contractors and more
of them should take advantage of the
situation"
Baldwin, & Howell have sold more
than 500, 900 worth of Pullman park
lots in the last 80 days. The property
adjoins the Pullman factory.

Prohibition does not contemplate

Prohibition does not propose to

of the situation. Prohibition

He says: Il have an animal that
died on Sunday morning. Now,
is there anything that stands in
the way of dressing that diseased
animal and using it for food in my

in the law, tells him, "No, sir, but

to do it, but as matter of law you
have perfect right TO do SC"
But" said he, "there is more

"No," says the lawyer, "We have
a prohibitory statute in the State

meat"
"But," says the proposed seller,

purchaser shall buy it with full
knowledge of the facts" NO."
the lawyer tells him, "the knowl-

Concrete Construction.

Home and Farm readers may
note in the city newspapers con-
slant references to the constr6c-
ton of great buildings by the use
of concrete. Some of the largest
business houses in the cities are
made of concrete-that is, a mix
ture of cement in proper propor-
ton with sand and crushed stone,
giving results more satisfactory
than other building materials.
1t is time that the farmer should
be giving greater consideration to
this new method of construction.
1t is available for many purposes
beside buildings. 1t can he used
for troughs, for fence posts, for the
dairy and for the barn. Of course,
price is always a matter of COM
parison. In making your COMPARE
son with wood consider the strength
and durability of concrete, and
consider that you are building not
for temporary purposes, but for
permanent uses. Home and Farm.

given to our efforts to secure the
Worlds Panama Exposition. The
unprecedented trip of our entire
General Assembly, headed by our
principal State officials, has excit-
ed an intense interest in the con-
test between New Orleans and San
Francisco, and every paper of any
Importance in the country has CIV
en- more or less publicity to the
claims of the rival cities, and most
of them are favoring New Orleans
as the Logical Point"
There can be no doubt that pop
ular sentiment is with New Or
leans in the race for Congression-
al recognition, and as the situation
now stands, the general impress
sion is that majority of the mem
bers Of Congress will favor the
Crescent City, but when our rep
resentatives go back to Washing
ton next December to have the
matter definitely settled, they
must be prepared to show that
Louisiana can finance an EXPOSE
ton OH such basis as to guarantee
its success.
San Francisco has put forward
one argument which Louisiana
must Immediately meet. The Cal
ifornians contend that the best
evidence of their ability to take
care of great worlds fair is that
their State is back of the EXPOSE
ton movement, and not the city
of San Francisco alone. They
contend, and have demonstrated,
that subscriptions to the stock of
their Exposition Company have
been received from individuals,
mercantile houses and banks in
every city, town and village in
California; and it has been init
mated that New Orleans is under.
taking to carry her load alone.
1t is true that by the submission
of the Tax amendment. our Gen.
eral Assembly has put Statewide
approval upon the Exposition
movement; but California intends
to likewise provide several million
dollars by an exposition tax; and
it seems but right and proper that.
in order to put our Representa-
tives in Congress upon an equal
: basis with those from California
in the fight for recognition. the
: business interests of our entire
: State should JOIN with the business
E men of New Orleans in raising an
' Exposition fund which shall favor
! ably compare with the total raised
by California.
The material prosperity of our
!, State will be advanced by this Ex-
!, position more than could possibly
3 be accomplished by fifty years of
steady progress. Our population
} will be greatly increased. Our
land values will be advanced.
} Our industries will grow. Invest
, ors and capital will be turned this
, way. Our new idle lands will be
opened up to immigration; and a
, great era of material prosperity
will prevail throughout the entire
State.
San Francisco has already rails
ed over seven million dollars and
in all probability will go back to
Congress next December with at
least ten million. New Orleans
has raised 81, 100000 locally, and
the 81, 100000 tax amendment will
increase this to So, 100000. The
Ways and Means Committee of the
Exposition Company is about to
inaugurate campaign to raise
another million by July 4th, and
. the people of all sections of our
State should see to it that Louisi-
ana does not lag far behind Cali
