The Capital VIII Like Zoning System

Property values have risen and have
become stabilized by reason Of the In
stallation of zoning, and men who were
bitterly opposed to the move at first
now give It their most hearty com
mendation.
"The zoning system bars manufac-
turing plants from invading residential
sections, and thereby insures the man
who buys a home against having a
boiler factory or some other similar
plant established next door. or even
in the same neighborhood. On the
other hand, 1t secures to the manu-
featuring element absolute domain
over certain sections, and leaves out
let for growth and development such
as any going concern is bound to
need.

These Farmers Make No Large Profits

FIGURES on farm profits covering
L seven years in two areas and five
years in a third, made public by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture show that comparatively few
of the farmers In the groups studied
have been making large profits during
the recent years of comparatively
high prices.
The figures indicate chiefly:
That the farmers average return on
investment increased from per cent
In 1918 to per cent in 1918.
That most Of them are making less
than $500 cash per year over and
above the things the farm furnishes
toward the family living. which. how
ever, constitutes very important fac
tor.
The three groups of farms studied
are located, respectively, in Washing
ton county. Ohio (25 farms, hill coun-
try, seven years) Clinton County,
Indiana 400 farms. corn belt, seven
years., and Dane county, Wisconsin,

are watching with eager interest the
effect of the zoning system at the ma

new in st. Louis, has done wonders
for that city" Mr.. Frederick continued.
