A WORTHY PROFESSIONAL

The last half of October, Swine
broad, the real estate man, of Ian
caster, was kept busy holding auc-
ton sales. On October 18th, he sold
for Mrs. George Backer, Mrs. Lynn
Buster and Mrs. William Geary, S65
acres of land i'm Wayne county, adj
joining the town of Monticello, to va
rious parties in building lots and
farms for an aggregate sum of $94,-
504.S3. On the 18th he sold for Milo
Simpson tract of 76 acres of unim-
proved land in Garrard county at an
average of $214.00 per acre. On the
twenty first he sold for R. W. Gwinn
his farm of 335 acres in Mercer
county to different parties at an
average price Of $4,000 per acre;
portion of the farm with the i'm
provements, about 243 acres, aver
aged $3O1.0O er acre. On the 22nd he
held another sale in Garrard county
and sold 140 acres for N. J. Gosney,
at $275.00 per acre. Again on the
oath he sold at auction for ]. L. But
Ter his farm of 100 acres in Lincoln
county at $4,000 per acre. On the
28th he sold for Allen Edelen ITO
acres of land in Mercer county, in
two tracts of S5 acres each, at an
average price of $162.50 per acre.
And on November LIST, for H. V. Bes-
tin a brick residence and about four
acres of land just at the edge of the
city limits Of Lancaster, in Garrard
county, for $11, $4,000, and on the
same day two building lots for Roy
Schroeder at $1,700.00 each. Total
sales amounted to $312, 4S2.00. All
Of these sales were very successful
and again demonstrated the fact that
when it comes to selling land Swine
broad is at the very top. His expe-
rience in making subdivisions and
bow to sell farms and his Judgment
of the value of land make his serv-
ices much sought after and he is one
of the few real estate men VINO have
realized that the real estate business
is profession and must be conduct
ed so as to secure and hold the conf
dence Of those with whom he deals.
Swinebroad also believes in printers
ink and we judge that he spend as
much in advertising as any other real
estate man in the business and is
thereby able to give his clients the
best of service.
Another point which should not es-
cape those interested; he is thor
oughly reliable and accurate in all
his descriptive advertising and as

/ ideas regarding woman's personal,
social and economic life, which even
before 1914 number Of persons
were trying to realize. The conflict
which took the majority of women
out of their homes broadened their
outlook immeasurably. II gave num-
bcrs Of them their first taste of eco
nomic independence. And the es-
tablishmcnt of creches and national
kitchens proved that organization
could make much Of the old slavlsh-
ness to the home unnecessary. Many
women will never 90 back to the old
way. We cannot ask them to. The
problem now is for the man to catch
up with the woman. He must either
help to lessen her domestic burdens
or share them with her.
"And a great many men have re-
turned from the war prepared to DO
so. For five years they have been
in the field, many of them far away
from woman's usual ministrations.
They have learned to do for them
selves many Of the little tasks for
which they formerly depended upon
their wives, and their wives have
learned to do much of what is
termed mans work. the work
which brings in the pay envelope.
MANY people are afraid that
woman's new trend Of thought in re-
gard to the home will lead to its de-
struction. This will not be if the
woman and the man together cast
out the old traditions Of 'woman's
place and mans dictatorship and
cooperate intelligently to make the
new home freer place for woman's
development. Women, to a certain

His passion for putting his~feet
on the desk or dropping the cigar

the infinite surprise-and confused

sea as neighbors, each occupying a
separate house. Mrs. Ellis, who ap-

self by writing and farming and
