toons correctly, have been laid. In

in the Booklovers' Contest-Will take
place on or about Decoyation Day
Others will follow
II contestants are animated by ardor
now, that eager spirit of rivalry Will
be increased tenfold by the view oil

enyirons.
Bear in mind that the value placed
upon the house--$3, 500-hardly more
than suggests the real value of the
property Experts who have examined
the plans and specifications marvel
that building such as is being erect
ed can be built for that figure. I'm
uuestionably the completed property
will be worth considerably more than
the money value placed upon it now.

avenue trolley line, facing Springfield

house is ideally located for the home

ties of the metropolitan district, with
