Give every rent payer the oppor-
tunity of becoming a home owner
and a short cut will be made in solv-
ing the great housing problem. says
Stark b. Ferris, of New York. regard
ed as an authority on real estate
matters, whether they are of legal
or economic nature.
City life has fastened itself on so
many people that it is the opinion of
Mr.. Ferriss they could not be in
duced to leave it for the suburbs no
matter how good the housing facil-
tiles may be beyond the urban sec
tions.
"The housing problem is essentially
trouble resting upon the tenant
class" said Mr.. Ferriss. There is a
shortage of small suburban houses,
which would be purchased by owners
IL erected, but 80 per cent of the
agitation arises from the class of our
population who live as tenants in
apartment houses, flats and tene-
ments. We hear no complaints at the
present time from this small house
owner class of our population. They
are undisturbed by the foment Of
agitation over rent increases and
landlord and tenant laws. On the
other hand, the tenants of flats,
apartments and tenements, notwith-
standing their troubles, prefer gem
orally and as a class to live in the
city in the community buildings
rather than in small houses in the
suburbs.
'Jf a satisfactory plan can be de-
vised and put into execution by which
tenants of apartments may become
owners of their apartments, so that
they may in a practical business way
without legal complications, buy and
sell and borrow money upon their sep
arate apartments, the same as the
owner of the small house can buy and
sell and mortgage his property, it
seems to me that we shall have at
least a partial solution of the prob
lem.
1--WE have since the earliest times
had no difficulty in the law in divid-
ing our land ownerships perpendic-
ularly from the center of the earth
to the sky. The time is at hand
when we must devise a practical and
workable legal method of dividing
our ownerships also horizontally, so
that large apartment houses may be
ewned in separate apartment units,
With similar security as that which
attends and accompanies the owner
ship of small houses.
THE question will at once be asked,
How will you solve the problem of
heat and hot water and elevator and
janitor service? In answer i would

BUILDING WHOLE TOWNS
OF BUNGALOW TYPE

In London. as in America. the short
age of homes has resulted in a re-
markable expansion of bungalow land
On Canvey Island, for instance, houses
built chiefly of wood, concrete slabs
or, most common of all, corrugated
iron. are being run up in all direc-
tions. A good many folk are build
ing their own homes, camping mean
while in tents; Others have resorted
to converting pantechnicons and such
like into homes. What prices are like
on the island may be gathered from
the fact that a concrete bungalow OF
four rooms is offered for sale at
600 pounds, a pantechnicon with two
small rooms for 450 pounds and
rypsy van for 70 pounds.

suggest that we pass laws authoriz-
ing the Incorporation OF public serv-
Ice companies to furnish heat. hot
water, elevator and janitor service
to such apartment houses as shall
be brought under the operation OF
such laws in the same way that
existing public service corporations
are now enfranchised to furnish cleo
trio light and gas. Such companies
should be subject to regulation. and
their charges should be fixed and
approved by some public service COM
mission so as to insure every owner
of a separate apartment the right to
the use OF these necessities on pay
ment of a fixed legal rate, the same
as every person in our community
now has the right to purchase gas
or electricity

the streets OF the city as means of

seems to be no insuperable legal OBJ
lection to the working out of such a
plan. To make 1t entirely feasible
and practical. of course, the several
owners must, in addition to having
the right to buy and sell their apart
ments with the same facility as they
would buy and sell individual houses.
be also able practically to borrow
money and mortgage separately their
individual apartments. 1t is a well
known fact that the safest and most
satisfactory mortgage loans are small
loans on houses occupied solely by the
owner and his family.

Solution

The Arkansans have not forgotten
Sumter county-not by any means.
And now another party is coming
shortly to see what agricultural won
ders have been wrought here by the
method of farming pursued by the
planters of this section. This time it
will be party of railroad men and
owners of large tracts of cut-over
land, which land is now waste in Ar

ever since l have been hoping that
the chief executives of the Missouri

largest lumber men in our territory
could get over there to see at least
some of the things we saw during the
Arkansas Profitable Farming tour
this summer. The Missouri Pacific
railroad traverses hundreds of miles
of cut-over land of practically iden-

out the South.

CONCORD TO
HAVEBARBECJE
Friends of School And
Residents To Gather
Next Saturday

On Saturday of this week the
friends and patrons of Concord
school will serve a barbecue dinner
on the grounds of the school. The
purpose of the dinner is to inaug-
urate club of good fellowship and
co-oepration among the residents of
Concord community and to discuss
plans for the bettefment of every
phase of school and church life. Con-
cord community has always been
noted for its hospitality and cordial
ity, and in this instance an even
greater abundance is being prepared
for the visitors who will be in their
midst on Saturday. Preparations are
already being made for the dinner,
and 1t promises to be a great oc-
casion in the history of Concord.
The school opened last week in
the new and handsome building
which has just reached completion
during the summer months, and now
stands as a tribute to the unflag-
ging work of County Sueprintend
ent E. J. McMath in his campaign
for consolidation of school. There
are five commodious rooms to the
building, music room and do
mestic science room just having
been added. The auditorium is one
of the largest and most thoroughly
equipped of any of the rural schools.
There is an efficient corps of
teachers who enrolled on their books
the names of 100 students for the
scholastic year. Prof. Parker is
principal, assisted by Miss Kelly,
Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Guest. On
opening day of school Superintend-
ent McMath was present and gave
the student body talk upon the
Importance of education and what
a well-rounded education means to

FAIR ENTRIES
COMING IN FAST
Farm Products, Poultry,
Live Stock and Other
Exhibits Assured

Judging from the preliminary en-
tries already made, the Sumter
County Fair this year is going to
eclipse anything in the South in the
way of local fairs, according to of
ficials of the fair association. Peo-
pie all over the county have been
making preparations for several
months and it is safe to say that the
exhibits of farm products, women's
work, live stock and poultry will be
exceptionally fine
But Sumter county people viii
not supply all of the attractive ex-
hibits this year. Requests for space
ahve been received from many peo-
pie in adjoining counties. Terrell
and Randolph county people have
entered poultry and live stock
Schley county will send fine speci-
mems of farm products, live stock
and mules, while Lee county is COM
ing strong along all lines.
From Leslie comes the report that
a most extensive exhibit will be
made by the domestic science de-
partment of the Leslie school and
the Domestic Science club composed
of about forty of the leading ladies
of the community. This exhibit
promises to be one of the most at
tractive of its kind ever seen in the
South.
1t is understood that several farm
ers throughout the county are pre-
pairing to make sepcial collection
exhibits, in addition to which hun
dreds of individuals will enter one or
more articles of farm products.
Fair officials and those in charge
of the various departments are jubi-
liant over the outlook; they state
that the spirit of cooperation and
interest manifested is wonderful and
assures the most gratifying success
of the fair.
