REAL ESTATE DEALS.
(Ryan Reporter

Notwithstanding the fact that the
boom in land throughout the state has
slowed down considerably during the
past few months, II doesn't seem to be
the case in this immediate vicinity and
there are many who predict that Del
aware county farms at $500 per acre
will be a common thing before long.
The sale Of the U. Barefuse farm Of
120 acres, one miles east Of Ryan, to
the Chrystai Company, at $500 per
acre, made last Saturday, makes Fec
ord for farm land. This is an excel
lent piece OF land with up-to-date
buildings, recently completed and it
makes fine addition to the holdings
OF the Chrystal Company adjoining,
Mr.. Barefuse will take q rest from
labor and In company with his wife
and son viii will make visit to their
old home IN Switzerland.
! Last Monday w. H. Ward sold to
James Mcdonald, Of Hazel Green the
west "a acres OF the Murray farm and
buildings at $500 per acre, Mr.. Ward
purchased the Murray farm few
months ago at $3.50 an acre and sold
100 acres at $3.50 and 81 acres at $4OO,
so It is easily seen that he didn't lose
any money on the deal.

THE BOYS WHO LEFT THE FARMS.

THE BOYS WHO LEFT THE FARMS.
OF Americas mighty war forces Of
more than four and a half million OF
men,. 1.200, 900, it is estimated, came
from farms. Records in the bureau
Of War Risk Insurance in Washington,
d. c., indicate that these farm-bred
or farm-raised boys carried govern
ment life insurance amounting to over
ten billion dollars.
During the earlier rehabilitation, IT
was SO difficult to keep track OF the
discharged service men that 1t seemed
as though very large portion of
them did not return to their former
addresses or homes. So many of the
service men who had come from the
farm seemed to. be listening to the
call OF the city that it was feared
more than one-half of them were not
going back to the Farms. Later the
tide Of migration set in towards the
country, and now it is believed that
the loss in man-power to the farms as
the result of former service men set
tling elsewhere may not be more than
100000.

WHAT ABOUT a HOsPITALl

Last year this vicinity passed
through an epidemic Of influenza and
pneumonia which claimed score or
more OF lives, most Of these being per-
sons in the prime Of life. Just now
we are again having an epidemic OF
the same. disease with exactly the
same fatal results. II you think the
disease Is not as violent as last year,
just take q few minutes and glance
over the pages OF your weekly and
daily newspapers and note the num-
ber of deaths chronicled.
Every physician and trained nurse
will admit that many of the persons
who fall victim to this insiduous dis
ease might have been saved had there
been suitable hospital facilities. with
trained nurses 70 care for. the patients.
We have been wondering II some Of
the people who used all Of their in
fiuence to defeat the county hospital
proposition have changed their minds
BY tAis me. TO be sure it is little
bit late to talk abont suitable hos
pita1 to care for sick and dying, after
the disease has reaped its terrible
harvest In precious human lives.
Might It not be good time to start
a movement that will eventually cul-
inmate In : hospital that will be a
credit to the county or the community
that has the foresight to build one?
