DEMAND AT BRENTWOOD
Buyers for Building Sites in
Big Development.

T.. II. NcWhorter, Of the Brentwood
Realty Company, reports fair average
sales Of building sites this summer.
He looks forward to sharp increase
IN sales in the early fall months. lie
further says there Is absolutely no
evidence Of case where an owner Of
suburban plot has suffered one
cent loss. and it is hard to find a case
where nervousness has even disturbed
the peace of mind of the man VINO has
invested his savings in suburban land.
This year Brentwood has been more
closely linked to Bay Shore through its
automobile road connection. The drive
through the pine-l laden forests Of this
section has attracted many motorists
from the South Shore, as well as city
tourists, who run down through Brent
wood by the Vanderbilt Motor Park
way route.

DEVELOPMENT OF
TOWNS In KINGS
Splendidly Illustrate the Vast
Structural Changes in County
inLast Decade.

Nothing probably better illustrates
the tremendous growth and Improve
ment in the greater city Of New YORK
during the last fifteen years than the
structural evolution in the former
Kings County townships, such AS
Gravesend, Bay Ridge, Fort Hamilton,
FIatbush and Flatlands. At the lncep-
ton of the widespread real estate
movement in these townships and the
influx Of population to them they were
improved along suburban lines, ana
suburban restrictions were placed upon
many sections.
The vast area south Of Prospect Park
to Coney Island comprised old farms
that were acquired by land developers
and builders, who transformed them
into detached home colonies IN the
same manner as developers and build
ers subsequently made Queens County
babitable and as they are now making
Nassau County attractive 20 suburban
hone seekers.
Improved transit facilities were lnl-
tiated when the elevated railroads were
extended through the suburban parts
Of Brooklyn TO COney Island, and the
tremendous building movement FOL
lowed. with consequent steady Use III
fee values.
After three-fourths Of the suburban
area of Brooklyn had been improved
witt detached houses municipal his
tory repeated itself Steadily increas-
ing population caused fee values to
ascend to the point where it became
improbable to build houses, except
brick ones in rows, attached. As re.
suit the suburban character of the old
Brooklyn townships is being super
seded By urban growth and improve
ments. and the same evolution Is In

Fl. PIERRE HUNTERS KILL
1000 JACKS IN A DAY

Pierre, s. D.--A "cord" of jack
rabbits was the result of a hunt by
Fort Pierre people yesterday who
went out at the request of the al
falfa growers along the Missouri
north of that place to help rid their
fields of what is fast becoming a
pest. About fifty hunters went out
to help their friends in their need,
and among them brought in a thous-
and jack rabbits as the result of the
days hunt. One party of five. in
one auto brought in two hundred
and ten for their days work. These
rabbits will be shipped to the Sal
Walton Army at Minneapolis for dis
tribution and will mean the distri-
button of a couple of tons of rabbit
meat in that city. Whether it is
the better feeding from the wide
spread alfalfa acreage. or for some
other cause. jack rabbits are so
much more numerous this year than
before that they are a real
menace to many of the fields which
they frequent.

Easterbrook, about three or four
years ago purchased a farm in the
northern part of Union county, liv-
ing there for about two years, when
they sold the farm and moved to the

lily resided in South Dakota the girl,
Miss Violet Easterbrook, was about
fifteen years of age.
1T is recalled by residents of the
vicinity that while the family lived
in South Dakota John Adds visited
the family a great deal of the time,
his love for the niece being in evid-
ence at that time. 1t is stated that
the couple on one occasion planned
to elope, but the attempt was frus-
trated by the father of the girl.
