road and industrial company has passed
dividends on stocks and bonds.
I have heard so many men say since
the beginning of the war: How J
wish / had some Of my money in real
estate right now instead OF having IL
all tied no in stocks" I believe from
this that they have learned the lesson
we have been trying TO teach them
many years--to put some OF their
capital in real property-and ] think
that hereafter they will do II.
Of the future Of New York real es-
tate my mind is clear. Those who buy
at present prices will not regret II, Tor
with the year now beginning we are
going to have the start Of period OF
unusual prosperity and New York real
estate is going 10 maintain its leader
ship among the best income producing
and the greatest profit making securi-
ties. Why am ! so optimistic! FOR
many reasons.
In the first place we have had year
of unparalleled crops; add 70 this the
fact that the demand from abroad for
American made goods is putting our
industries back 20 the point OF maxi
mum output and one does not need 70
stretch his imagination greatly 20 see
plenty Of money in the hands Of the
iaboring and producing classes. AZ
last, after many years Of need we have
a satisfactory banking system, elastic
and effective, which will forever guar
antee us against such crises as heys
upset business in the past. One Of the
best indications Of revival Is 20 be
found in the steady low rates on loans
and the plentiful supply Of money and
the foreign exchange rates below the
gold export level
The war may prove blessing in dis
guise, since the changed conditions
growing out Of the war have caused the
Interstate Commerce Commission 10
grant the per cent rate increase 20
the railroads, which request was re-
fused year ago.
Our trade balance against Europe
probably will 90 to greater sums dur
ing the next year than ever before IN
the history Of the country. which can
not help to have its effect in lettering
the commercial and financial confidence
Of the nation. Since the government has
shown a tendency TO stop interfering
with business. business men all over
the country are showing a decidedly
changed attitude, with the result that
they arc to-day getting together as OF
old for the individuals and every
body's good.
Once again let me say ! am an OPP
timist. Ny greeting 20 all investors
is: Buy New YORK real estate a; pres

TWO DWELLINGS
THAT COST $5OO,OOO
Built in Park Avenue for
George Brewster and
George Blumenthal.

The Park av. homes Of George s.
Brewster, vice-president of the Atlantic
Safe Deposit Company, and Of George
Blpmenthal, of the firm of Lazard
Freres, are considered in real estate
circles to be two Of the best built and
best located prive dwelling houses in
this city. Their total estimated cost
was 100000, that for the Blumenthal
house being 100000 and for the
Brewster dwelling 100000.
Both structures were designed Dy
Trowbridge & Livingston, one OF the
foremost architectural firms in this
country. 1t was in 1909 that the plans
for the five story home of George 5.
Brewster, which is 50x73 feet and oc-
cupies the northwest corner OF list
ST., were filed.
The home of George Blumenthal is az
the southwest corner Of 10th st. and
Park av., and is four stories, the di-
mansions Of the structure being 1l3.oX
1873 feet. The plans for that house
were filed three years ago.

OPTIMISTIC VIEW
OF REALTY MARKET
Bryan L. Kennedy a Firm
Believer That Now Is
the Time to Buy.
BY BRYAN l.. KENNEDY.

am a. great an optimist on the
subject Of New York real estate as l
ever was. To those who have followed
the local market during the last year
il is unnecessary 10 say that conditions
have followed the trend Of general
business, and that trading in all
branches and in all sections has been
dormant because money was not forth
coming with which TO finance pur-
chases and TO conduct building opera
tions. But of this fact am sure: real
estate has been through its worst
period and from now on Improvement
may be expected. In fact, the improve
ment is to be noted already in a slight
ly bettered money market. Progress at
first probably will be slow, but 1t wf1l
be sure and steady.
All Of us who are engaged in max
ing New York greater and better city

there was every indication that real

that with the pushing of work on the
great rapid transit system to all parts
of the city, new period OF activity was
about to start, providing an opportunity
for a revival of the active trading and
good profit making of few years ago.
But as good is found in all things. so
we can find good in our temporary dull
ness, for while the prices OF stocks and
bonds have been shattered and we are
told that the Stock Exchange was
closed because Of fear Of a financial
panic, New York's $4,000 100000 OF real
estate has passed through the most
trying times without the semblance OF
panic. In fact, we'll located property

THERE ARE OTHERS

Savannah News: Representative
Lemuel Padgett, of Tennessee, a
member of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs, is one of those who
think the navy is now adequate He
believes it could sail out today and
whip any other navy af1oat. At a
banquet the other evening in Wash
ington he said that the men of the
navy were superior to those OF the
day of Paul Jones.
Admiral Dewey, it is assumed,
does not agree with Mr.. Padgett, for
he thinks that not until there are
forty-eight capital ships carrying the
American flag will the navy be ade-
quate. 1t is we'll to have faith in the
stout hearts and keen eyes of the
sailors, but it must be remem bered
that on German, or British and on
Japanese ships there are men with
very keen eyes and very stout hearts

CITY ALSO
CARVED IT'S OWN FORTUNE

Many years acquaintance with Or
lando enables the Star to vouch for
the truth of the following statement
from the Orlando Sentinel.
''Ocala is an orphan, according to
the Star. That town has had no
Flagler nor Plant nor Stetson to do
things for it. Ocala is fortunate. 1t
has been our observation that towns
with patron saints never develop like
other towns that have none. Orlan-
do has stood upon its own bottom,
and owes nothing to any one man.
The town has prospered and faces a
bright and prosperous future. The
Sentinel is glad that the town has no
body to thank; that its citizens de-
pend upon themselves to forward it's
interests, and that they have no papa
to run to when they want something -

FRANK CLARK'S FRIEND

Frank Clark should be proud of
the following from the Jasper News,
because the man who wrote it, John
NJ. CaIdw we'll, is not only sincere, but
possessed of unusually high powers
of discrimination. The News says:
When those who are known 10 be
personal friends of Hon, Frank Clark
speak Of him in terms of praise, it
is perfectly natural for some person
who cherishes petty grudge, to en-
deavor to belittle the words of praise
by saying, oh, he is his friend, you
know
/ But, Mr. Clark's reputation as a
man of brilliant attainments; safe
counsellor, and a wise law-giver, for
tunately is not confined to his person
al friends.
The greatest men Of our nation
recognize in Mr.. Clark pne of the
greatest men who now occupy a seat
in the halls of national legislation.
The Washington Post, one of our
great national newspaper whose in
fiuence extends wherever the flag of
the United States waves in the breeze
places Mr.. Clark in the same class
with Hon. William Randolph Hearst;
Senators O'Gorman; Ransdell, and
Thomas, and Representatives Under
wood; Kitchin and Doremus.
Mr.. Clark is a great man and is
in position TO render more effective
service to Florida and the nation
than ever before in his life and his
past record is sure guarantee
that he will do so.
Mr.. Clark is the son of a Georgia
Confederate soldier and in common
with thousands of other Confederate
soldiers We rejoice, because, of the
honor which he has reflected on his
father, on Florida, on the nation and
on the democratic party, and congrat-
ulate him on his success.

THOUGHTS OF A
MODERN YOUNG WOMAN

I'm taking up Bergson this week.
Next week I'm going to take up
Etruscan vases and the Montessori
system.
Oh, no l haven't lost my interest
in sociology.
Only last night we went down in
the auto and watched the bread

Of course, one can take up too
many things.
Concentration is necessary if the
world is really to become bettered.
And it's the spirit in which you
take a thing up that counts.
Sometimes l think the spirit in
which you take thing up counts
more than the thing itself-counts
in it's effect on you, you know.
OF course, the way to get the real
meaning out of anything is to put
yourself in receptive attitude.
In serious things the attitude
counts for everything. One mustn't
scoff.
If you look at it seriously and
scientifically you'll see there's great
deal more than you suspected in
all this affinity and soul mate craze,
for instance.

The orphanhood of Ocala has
made it perhaps the most self-re-
liant, Independent and prosperous
community in the state of Florida.
Perhaps the fact that it has never
had a foster father has taught its
people to depend upon themselves
and has brought about the results
that we have noted-Tampa Times
Loneliness is like the armor of an
ancient knight-it is strong mans
burden, and it makes a man or a
city strong to carry it. When you
come to look at it, you will see that
not very much has been done for
Tampa, either; and most of what
has been done she has paid for in

The first time the editor Of the
Star ever saw Wallace Stovall, he
was standing with one hand on the
lever of a Washington hand press,
in room in the Gary block of
Ocala. Nearby was a pile of paper,
a thousand sheets or so. which Wal
lace was putting thru the said press.
A few cases of type and other ele-
ments of a printing office, a table,
some chairs and a stove made up the
outfit of the live weekly paper that
Mr.. Stovall was issuing in Ocala at
that time-and when you come to
look at it, he never issued any paper
but live one. That was only 27 y
years ago. Sunday, the writer met
Nr. Stovall for the second time, and
went with him thru the Office of the
Tampa Tribune, which he owns, and

into the foremost morning paper of
