The amount of property that has
changed hands in Wildwood in the
past few weeks is remarkable. In
twenty years we cannot recall such
a condition. The real estate agents
have been on the jump since the ex-
tremely good renting season started in
last spring. The prices have reached
such a low notch that it is becoming
attractive for buyers, and surely there
has peer something doing. One real
estate firm reports about $4,000 worth
of property sold in the past six months,
and all of them have been doing a BUSH
ness far above the normal.
The Beecher-Kay Realty Company
made a big sale in the last few days

HOW SAVINGS HABIT

money Invested This Year in Thrift
Stamps Returns in Five Years
Vastly Increased.

On New Years day 1928, there will
oegln a remarkable series Of divi.
dend payments to American people.
Hundreds Of millions Of dollars Of
war Savings Stamps sold during 1918
Will then be redeemable. On each
News Years day thereafter for a num-
Der OF years there will undoubtedly
be huge returns to the American peo-
pie OF the money borrowed with in.
terest
These great dividend days bring
American bankers new opportunities
and also responsibilities. How can
new thrift habits be linked to thrift
institutions? How can this money,
the product Of thrift. be modified for
further work?
Already the bankers are working
with the Treasury Department to
continue thrift habits For people who
save money there is a wide range of
thrift institutions that will take
charge OF funds, put them to work
safely. and return good earnings. AS
the government plans to borrow by
general education Of thrift in every
kind, so the banks and thrift institu-
tlons can aid the government by en-
couraging general thrift and building
bigger business themselves.
One Of the first steps to be taken by
bankers is that OF spreading informn
ton about banks, life insurance, build.
ing and loan associations. federal farm
loans. and all other thrift institutions
The best way to meet Uncle Sans
borrowing needs is to promote thrift
on the broadest possible lines.
Every dollar deposited in a savings
bank becomes available for national
finance. Every life insurance policy
sold is equivalent to an indirect loan
to the government. Every obligation
assumed by thrifty people such as a
building mortgage is a stimulus to
production and saving. and therefore
as much a national service as the di
rect purchase Of government securi
ties! In placing these matters clearly
before everybody in his community
the banker will live up to his opportu
mites and his responsibilities in the
new thrift movement. When the bill
lion dollar New Year Days arrive hs
will be ready.

ARE FLEMING AND WALLOON
People OF Belgium Of Both Races, the
Jennings Being Slightly in
tho Ma jority.


The kingdom of Belgium dates from
1890. when the seven Catholic prov
lnces rev0lted from the distasteful
union with the kingdom Of The Meth
erlands. DR.. Edwin A. Grosvenor
writes in communication to the Ma
tional Geographical society. A con-
ference of the great powers in 1881
determined the boundaries between
the two countries. Though obliged by
circumstances to recognize Belgian in
dependence, the conference did not
sympathiZe with the authors Of the
revolution. In consequence the bound
airy line was traced to the disndvan-
taSe of the new nation. 1t is alleged.
The Dutch were assigned peoples
east of the Mouse, who were strongly
pro-Belgian. and We're granted both
sides of the Scheldt. thus cutting off
approach to the sea by the great port
Of Antwerp.
Belgium is made up of FlemingS
and WallOonS, with the former In the
majority. In 1910. Of the 1851 900

Save while the money Is warm" is
the motto OF Il woman who has estab-

and her family by the number Of War
Savings Stamps she bought without
apparently stnting in the least. Here
is her system.
THE only way to save is to save.
When I have actually saved a quarter
| put it into Thrift Stamp without
delay. If | save that quarter on one
thing and then spend it carelessly for
something else, have not saved any
real money.
For example the other day I went
down town expecting to pay $40 for
n pair Of special shoes. TO my sur
prise, I found there was a sale that
day. and got the very pair OF shoes
wanted for $7.75. had saved $22o.
But how to keep it saved. knew that
II ! simply regarded it mentally as
saving, before the end Of tho month II
would be spent miscellaneously. I
went right down stairs in tho store
and bought nine Thrift Stamps and
stuck those quarters in the Thrift card
where they could not get away before
the end Of tho month.
Il do the same thing when have
saved single quarter or half dollar,
and am seriously thinking Of getting
a little penny bank to hofa saved pom

MR.. DINTENFAS REPLIES.

10 the Editor of the Palisadian:
Dear Sir 1T Is with greatest inter-
est that read your very good report of
a recent statement of Mr.. Halsey T.
Tichenor, real estate dealer, claiming
that the doctrine of the Single Tax
Party, whose candidate for the gov
ernorship have the honor to be, Is
fantastic delusion, 1 respectfully ask
permission to make reply through
your columns.
Mr.. Tichenor has erected the usual
straw man and then proceeds to de-
moIish him.
May l state that the Single Tax is
a proposition to collect from the own
ers of all land tax equal to the
amount of yearly rent which could be
obtained from any land to which they
have title and at the same time to
abolish all present forms of taxation on
improvements, industry and enterprise.
This is not an unearned increment
tax but is a tax on the rental value of
the land.
Mr.. Tichenor evidently contends that
