Return From Florida Soon

Alfred II. Wagg, who is now in Flor
ida attending to the development of a
large tract known as South Palm Beach

mlttee of the Gown your own home
movement by the Department of La
Dor, which is urging it as postwar
measure
Mr.. Wagg will take up the work upon
his return to New York City, and will
carry 1T out this summer Already a
preliminary fund of $4,000 has been
provided; ample finances are assured
tor the continuance Of the campaign on
the large scale that has been laid out.
Mr.. Wages appointment probably is
due to the fact that he had been an
pointed Eastern manager of the cam
palgn when the movement was init
ated by the National Association of
Real Estate Boards, that appointment
coming from the national Headquarters
of the association, which are located in
Chicago. He was an executive com
mltteeman of the national association
and member of the national Gown
your own home" committee.
The Gown your own home" idea was
the conception Of a Birmingham, Ala.
man, who took it to the National As
ISOLATION OF Real Estate Boards, by
whom it was enthusiast tically adopted.
Oakland, Cal, was one of the first
cities in the United States in which the
campaign was put on, and it resulted in
making Oakland the city in which is
the largest proportion of home owners.

Real estate, because of its great
mass and non-fluid character. is one
or the last of all commodities to weld
TO upward pressure, but luckily it is
commencing to rise. Carefully scan
ning the list of investments at the
present time, one must admit the at
tractlveness of real estate for many
reasons t;as There are few, if any, sec
tions of the city that are not under
punt and overpopulared and for the
hrst time in decade owners of real
estate estate are getting fair return on

great demand for vacant as well as
improved property, especially in sec
tIons served by the new subways. can

Decision On Fourth Of
July Celebration To Be
Made At Meeting Tonight

Whether Salem is to hold Fourth
Of July celebration, or whether il win
pass up and let the patriotically in.
elined celeh"ate elsewhere, will be de-
eided at the mass meeting of business
men and professional called for the au-
ditorium of the Commercial club this
evening
There seems to be but little interest
in the proposed celebration and judging
from the meeting that was called last
week, there is feeling that the people
Of the city are not interested enough
to give any personal or financial help.
One member who has been on working
committees stated today that unless
there is a general rallying to the sup
port Of the proposed celebration, there
would be none and the only thing going
ON in Salem on the Fourth would be the
homecoming to the soldiers by the War
Mothers.
If the men Of the city won t come
out and say what they want tonight, F"
said an interested worker, "there will
be no Fourth Of July celebration in Sa.
lem. In this case, George won't do it.
The meeting tonight win decldc. II will
take lot Of work and lot Of money
to put on the right kind of Fourth. y
