! Baker Tclls tlis Story.
 The facts of the Frank Baker case have finally came to light and they make the entire affair of Che slug gers refusal to report to Mack appear quite different from what has been generally supposed To begin with, there Is no truth in the story chat Baker signed threeyear contract calling for S45O0 Q season. The fact of the matter is that Inst summer Baker and several other members Of the Mack team insisted on having their salaries increased Mack had been having trouble setting Baker to sign in former years, it always having been necessary to make a trip to the players home ot Trappe to set him under contract.
 Mack decided and so told Baker to sign him for a three year period. Bak- or was told to name his own figures, and he named S2o,O00 for Che three years at which rate of salary he was paid during the closing months of last season and would have been for the next two years had he reported.
 Bakers treatment was along much more liberal lines than anyone sup posed, and now it is hard to under stand wlD he has not availed himself Of the opportunity to earn this mon ey
 These disclosures put Connie Mack in an entirely different light with the baseball public for it was believed that 1t was his refusal Co pay Baker as big salary as the other players Of his prominence draw, which caused the split, but this is absolutely not the case, and the figure above quoted is contained in the signed contract, that is in the vault of the Philadelphia bell club.

Ownership benefits the nation. The
backbone of economic prosperity is an
industrially efficient people. Large.

"The destruction and waste of prop
critics resulting from careless and in
different occupancy is an impediment
to national progress. Renting means
national contraction and repression
Ownership means expansion and pro-
gression.
"a nation of landlords and tenants
creates a class distinction which is
basely antagonistic to popular govern

morals. destroys patriotism and under

fancy inclines. A contemplated neigh
borhood and the nearby town should
be looked over. How about the
schools, churches and parks?
Advantages of Last Lot.
1t would seem better to select a To-
cality which is already established as
a residential district and in which
there seems little likelihood of its
changing in character within your
time. The last unimproved lot on a
residential street is ideal. To build in
or near large open tracts is unwise. as
you cannot be sure of your neighbors
or Of the character of the buildings
which will later surround you. OF
course, If the property is well restrict
ed it eliminates some of this uncer-
tainty, but an established district
leaves nothing to guesswork.
When the general location has been
determined look around for available
lots. consult advertisements and real
estate men, but don't be led astray by
their persuasive powers-look before
leaping. Is this OF that lot accessible
to public sewers and water? Is there
gas on the street or that almost in

The verv ground itself should be

Value Depends on Environment.
If the value of land depends upon its
environment and usefulness 1t Is inn
perative that you consider whether this

no longer useful for your purpose, and
therefore becomes less valuable. The as
sessed value means nothing. Assessing
systems vary with each locality. One
place may have high assessment and
low tax rate and another a high tax rate
and low assessment. This assessed value
is an approximate value. and is; worth
considering only in SO far as 1t forms
basis of comparison of the relative values
of two or more properties in the same
town or city. The actual value of an es-
tate may be less, but it is usually more
than the assessment. One OF the best
means of getting at the real worth Is to
