CLEVELAND NEEDS
$4,000 HOMES
Omitted Press Service)

\OHiIeQ IfcSS OcEVlCe)
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 23.--
Cleveland is due for another year Of
rising rents, according to i. A. Rob-
erts, secretary of the Builders Ex-
change. The housing shortage will
be more acute than ever, he believes.
High wages and high building ma
terial prices complicate a situation
already held critical due to the lack
Of housing facilities. 1t was estimat-
cd that Cleveland requires at least
10000 more homes to meet the pre-
sent normal demand.
Chief among the reasons for the
pessimistic outlook, he said, were the
practical stoppage of building during
the war; the normal increase in
population and the additional infllX
of workers above the normal increase
to supply the extraordinary demand
for labor in the industrial plants.
Unfurnished living quarters, which
five years ago, could be rented for
from S15 to $32 per month now bring
all the wap from $40 to $75 and furn-
ished apartments available five years
ago for from $35 to $50 now range
from $50 tc $125,

5OO-RO0M HOUSE
To Be OWNED
BY OCCUPANTS
Omitted Press Service)

BOSTON, March 2S.-The housing
situation here is acute according to
real estate authorities and contractors
who hold out little hope Of relief un-
til the cost of building material is
lowered and construction resumed.
The shortage of, private dwellings
and apartments is due to great ex-
tent to the fact that during the war
there was very little building. The
end of the war found material so ex-
pensive that both individuals and
contractors hesitated to build.
The chief demand at present is for
apartments of from one to five rooms
and houses of five rooms. An apart
ment consisting of living room, bed
room, bath and kitchenette which in
1914 rented = for from 500 to $50,
brought from $35 to $50 last year,
and at present rents for between $40
to $50 month.
Contracts have been let here for
the erection of 500-room apart
ment block, the apartments of which
will be sold to the tenants.
The plans call for apartment from
l to 6 rooms. In addition the build
ing will have a community kitchen,
recreation hall, dining room, music
hall, roof garden and sleeping
porcheS.
Tenants wishing to purchase an
apartment may take possession and
pay monthlr installments in the same
manner in which rent is paid. These
;nstallments will be applied to the
purchase price and the tenant will
be given a deed to his apartment
when he completes his payments.
The monthly "rent-installment, will
he much less than the average rent
for an apartment.

CHICAGO HAS GREATEST
HOME FAMINE IN HISTORY

CHICAGO, March 23.-Chicago
faces the greatest home famine in it's
history, according to Robert Bartlett
Jr., manager of real estate concern
here.
practically every available space
for sub-dividing has been sold" Bart
lett said. at isn't the land question
that's worrying real estate men, it's
the building question"
"There are more families in Chicago
now than it has room for. Builders
are unable to erect houses because of
the high price and scarcity of materi=
al. Material can't be touched re-
gardless of the money the contractor
is able to pay. Where the only plau-
sible reason | can find for the short
age is the large number of factories
under construction. Dealers seem to
give this class of trade preference to
the home builder. If drastic means
are not adopted soon to cope with
the situation, Chicago will lose a great
number of its populace because of in
ability to house them.
"The situation is so pressing that
many people are moving into un'
nished buildings with possibly no roof
or unheated. There are many build
ings in Chicago now under construc-
tion with little hope of immediate
completion.
Because of the building shortage
many families of three and five per-
sons are required to lived in a single
rented room where they are forced
to pay unheard of rent"

MONEY IN MUSKRATS
FOR OHIO FARMERS

PORT CLINTON, March 23.-The
farmers of Ottawa County have found
the trapping of muskrats a profitable
industry this winter. Fur dealers
say that perhaps a quarter of mil
lion dollars will be added to THEN
bank accounts as a result of their ef-
forts.
The muskrats are plentiful in the
marsh lands along the south shore
OF Lake Erie. Prices paid for the
pelts this year exceed by far those
paid in previous years.
Muskrat pelts when dyed and treat
ed are sold by many dealers and re-
tailers as an inferior grade of seal
according to fur dealers.

Only few year ago, only men of
vision-prophets-thought Of Arizona,
-"sunland" of the poet-as cot
ton growing State, and now the State
is noted for producing the very best
long staple cotton in the world, not
even excepting Egypt, and quality
and quantity makes the market.
In the vicinity of Tucson last year
was planted, SO we are told, about
S20 acres, and the grade was even
better than that of Salt River Valley,
and the amount per acre very con-
siderably larger. Now it is estimated
that the acreage in the vicinity OF
Tucson will this year exceed 10000
acres. And why? Because the tribe
of Doubtful Thomas has. had to
sidestep and give-4.way- to those
''voiced with prophets" who now
KNOW, and have proven the pos
sibilities, and all active, progressive
Arizenians rejoice in their good
fsltane-those "who dared to put it
to the test. to win OF lose it ALL"
Doubtless before the year 1920 is
saaed it will be proven that Arizona
has districts that are oil bearing and
in paying quantities. The oil thought
is in the minds Of many men and Wo-
Asa of this State. and daily the ques-
tisn. is asked 'is there not oil bearing
land in Arizona ?''
In the vicinity of Yuma leasing
during the past few weeks has been
very active. In Imperial Valley there
has been a "reai ell BOOM, hundreds

who are investigating, leasing, and

panies a .'rush' be it for mines or oil
