Rents Generally Higher.

From reports it appears that rents
have increased almost universally, the
percentage running from 10 per cent to
80 per cent, with occasional excessive
advances in business space strategically
located. The lack of new construction
in the last two years, during which praC-
tically all available space came into de-
mand. the flow OF labor to industrial
centres and the high cost Of labor and
materials, preventing needed new con-
struction, have combined TO force rents
to their present high levels. some OF the
non-industrial cities proving the only eN-
ceptions to this rule.
There are few large building open

being unable thus far to adjust itself
to the prevailing high prices Of labor
and material.
"Organized labor IS making vigorous
efforts to maintain the present wage
scales, but the indications are that lower
levels in some cases are bound TO come
Reductions in a few lines indicate that
material prices may possibly be on the
point of a downward movement. but
any immediate plans based on such dew
elopment would doubtless be somewhat
premature. These conditions, considered
in the light of the great need for new
construction, give reasonable grounds
for expecting a building campaign of
good proportions at reasonably early
dale.
zone fact which stands out clearly
in the real estate situation Is the in
sstent demand for dwellings. This has
literally forced a limited amount Of
home and apartment house building
and vastly increased the rental demand
for all available space of this nature.

Dear Cousin Frances:
Have little breathing spell now
that it's all over and drop this line
to let you know that l am still kick
ing. We left the U. S. Sept. %
and reached the Front just before
the last big drive started. 1t took
four days on the train aud two day 9
marching to reach the Front. The
first night there l slept in a Ger
man pill-box in a trench occu pied
by the Germans only three weeks
before, and the men stayed in dug
outs the Germans mad made fifty
feet below the ground. The roar
of the big guns was deafening and
the sights you see are terrible.
There was dead men, horses, guns,
big and little, clothing, and all
kinds of equipment Uttered all
over. If you take all the stories
you have read of the war and add
them together and multiply by
100 you will get some idea of the
situation.
The engineers have to bury the
dead, dig trenches, build roads,
bridges, etc. Sometimes it was
case of having to keep road in
repair while it was being shelled.
The boys liked to bury the Ger
mans, and they made them pay the
grave diggers by emptying their
pockets. On Nov. LIST, as you
probably read, the final drive
started and hell was let loose; the
heavy guns were hub to hub il
double rows, one advancing while
the other kept up the barrage so
there was no stopping.
