BRAVE Women Fight Fire.

Last Friday afternoon the farm
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee hummer
was discovered to be on fire and a
general fire alarm was spread by
telephone by the people who discov-
cred it. Realizing that the fire would
have gained considerable Roadway be-
fore any volunteer fire fighters could
arrive on the scene, Mrs. hummer
house and out on the roof of the
burning building. Mrs. Will Krick
carried water and Mrs, hummer di-
rected this so as to make every drop
count and these brave women had the
fire extinguished before any Of the
men who left their work in answer to
the fire alarm arrived on the scene.
1t is supposed that the fire started
from sparks from the kitchen fire.
The damage was small.

COMPETITION Is NOW
AMONG TENANTS
War Has Reversed Conditions
Failing OFF of Building
Sends Rents Up.

Reversal In the rental situation in this
city is 30 general that II would seem
that real estate should be attractive at
this time from every buyers and owners
standpoint and the future should be
one more promising than ever before
Referring TO this change the Bulletin,
the official organ Of the property owners
of the Twelfth and Nineteenth wards,
says:
'.Competition among the owners OF
property to secure tenants for desirable
vacant apartments has ceased. The
situation has become reversed. Tenants
now compete with one another to secure
desirable apartments. The old law OF
supply and demand applies to the ocou-
pancy of realty as II does TO every other
form of competition

built. There were more apartments.
lofts and offices than there were tenants.
This resulted in considerable loss oil

decorating apartments, &C. IT became
a custom In certain classes or houses 70

.It Is evident that the high cost OF
labor and materials will not drop sud
denly even after the war. The devas'
tated portions of Europe must be rebuilt
and the terrible loss of manufactured
products must be supplied by this ooun
try. With the high cost OF erecting new
buildings, the price level of those nov
erected must of necessity gradually
increase. 1t would probably cost al
much as 80 per cent additional e
replace any existing building. TIT

will receive q tremendous impetus soor
