HUNT FOR REALTY BARGAINS.

It is a paradoxical situation that
exists in the real estate market and
the building trades. 1t is true OF Far
go as it is Of virtually every city of
Importance in the United States.
Building materials are high, but
they have not gone up in proportion
to many other commodities, and there
is no immediate prospect of a decline.
Europe will have to be rebuilt after the
war, and the man who contemplates
building within the next ten years, will
undoubtedly not gain anything by
waiting. An era of great industrial
activity prevails, and will continue and
be augmented by the entrance of Am
erica into the war. Despite these two
factors, there is a tendency to delay
new building projects.
On the other hand, the real estate
market is dull. Buildings that were
constructed several years ago, and
could not be duplicated for 20 per cent
more than their cost, do not find ready
buyers when offered.
Buildings should be like ships, these
days. Any kind of tub that will
float is snapped up at fabulous prices.
The demand is for vessels, and money
is no object In lesser degree the same
conditions should prevail in the real
estate market. There should be eager
buyers for anything offered. Anything
with brick, mortar, lumber, and hard
ware in it, should be of value, for 1t
cannot be replaced for what 1t cost.
But the panicky ones Immediately
begin to hoard the least valuable thing
in wartime-money. Money shrinks in
value. Commodities increase. This is
no time to sell house or a building
that you couldn't replace for 25 or even
so per cent more than you are asking.
1t is the time to go bargain hunt
ing.

A BUTTON OR A RECEIPT.

Every man who hasn't a conscrip-
ton button in his lapel by tomorrow
night, should have receipt for
Liberty Bond subscription in his
pocket.
The government hasn't ordered you
to buy a Liberty Bond yet. 1t has
merely presented it's needs, and asked
every loyal citizen to contribute.
But the government has ordered
every man of military age to register
for CONSUMPTION tomorrow. These
young men have no alternative but to
do their duty. Even a Jail sentence
for refusing to register does not keep
their names from the registration
books.
The government has been more
lenient, as yet, with the CONSUMPTION
of money. It is still the privilege of a
citizen to buy a bond or not, as he sees
fit, but the man who doesn't show a
registration button on his coat tomor-
row night should save his own self-re-
spect by the knowledge that he has in
his pocket a receipt for a Liberty Bond
subscription.
