 Residence on land not required. neither is it necessary to go east to obtain same, as a demonstration and schooling car sent out by the McAles- ter Real Estate Exchange of McAles- ter, Okla, is now here for the purpose of schooling the public in the manner and method of securing the lands, which consist of mixed farming, timber and grazing lands, all located in the probable oil and gas belt of Oklahoma. where drilling is now going on.
 These lands can be made to bring in a nice profit immediately after pur- chasing through the sale of timber rights and through leasing for farm ing and oil investment, all of which can be arranged without the owner having to go east.
 The lands are near railroads and market towns, and in many cases ad- join cultivated farms, thereby insuring ready market for all natural re- sources and products taken from the land. Crops of both the north and the south can be grown which insures ample harvest as this section of Okla homa enjoys from 40 to 45 inches rain- fall per year.
 The lands are appraised at prices ranging from s2 to $7 per acre, which merely takes into consideration the timber value only, and was based upon the government appraisement, made in 1911, when timber appraisers con- sidered only trees which measured II inches at the chest line. Therefore. the timber on each tract alone is sufficient to net a profit equal to the cost of the land, making all profits derived from farming and oil purposes profit over and above the actual cost.
 The car will be in town for a few days, and will be open from g a. m. to p. m, including Sundays.
 Visit same and see the wonderful exhibit of western developments and learn how to secure one of these valu- able tracts.

Believing that the Honolulu fire de-
partment is as good as any maintained
in any city on the mainland both N
its management and financially and
because firemen cannot be made IN
day, Edward Fogarty. member Of the
civil service commission. said that
IT should be kept under the iurisdic-
ton Of the civil service commission.
For city to have a good fire de-
partment which will be able to handle
every situation 1t must have men IN
1t who know their business thorough
1y," said Fogarty. This knowledge.
however, cannot be gained IN short
time and when the department gets
men in its service who know their
businesssit is the duty Of the city to
keep them there" he continued. ITO
do this the men must be satisfied with
the service and the best way to make
them satisfied is TO pay well. For
this reason strongly favor increasing
the wages Of the firernen as the pay
which they are receiving Is as low n
not lower than shat given the police
men.
i have already come out for raise
in the salaries Of the police depart
ment and believing that the fire de.
partment is just as important am
going to. include them In my fight for
higher efficiency in all departments
which come under the civil service
laws, FOgarty declared
Fogarty says that he would like TO
have the citizens OF Honolulu express
their opinions as 10 whether the civil
