Real Estate
Activities In
Capital City

Real estate business in Topeka
reached the total of $171,9S5 this week
according to the meager reports show
cred upon the office of George L. Tuer,
secretary of the Topeka real estate
board.
Loans amounted to s96,9s5. The
total was divided between private in
dividuals, $6.4S5, and loan companies
$9O,550.
Farm property stepped into the
limelight with sales recorded amount
ing to S65,00O, while city property
changing hands was reported at $780,
900.
In the opinion of prominent east
ern real estate man the real estate
outlook thruout the United States is
uncertain The buying public, it is
held, will have no confidence in real
estate investments unless real estate
men themselves are confident of sta
bilized values.
Regarding the building situation, he
says: Just at this time there is a re-
duction in some building materials
due in most cases to the fact that we
have temporarily interfered with the
demand by injuring the purchasing
power of the public. and some things
are sold in keen competition on an in
active market at a reduction. Most
at practically no profit to the seller.
Such condition is only temporary,
and cannot prevail once the purchas-

SCRIPTURE



And he said unto his disciples, Therefore
I say unto you, Take no thought for your
life. what We shall eat; neither for the
body, what We shall put on.
The life is more than meat, and the
body is more than raiment-
Consider the ravens; for they neither
sow nor reap; which neither have store
house nor barn; and God feedeth them
how much more are ye better than the
fowls?
And which of you with taking thought
can add to his stature one cubit2
If We then be not able to do that thing
which is least, why take We thought for
the rest?
Consider the lilies how they grow; they
toll not they spin not; and yet say unto
you, that solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
If then God SO clothe the grass, which
is today in the field. and tomorrow is cast
into the oven; how much more Will he
clothe you, We of little faith?
And seek not We what We shall eat, or
what We shall drink, neither be We of doubt
For ali these things do the nations Of
the world seek after; and your Father
knOweth that We have need of these things.
But rather seek We the kingdom of God ;
and all these things shall be added unto
Won.

shopper who is doing his Christmas
shopping early, will find Dollar Day
a boon to his purse, and can procure
everything necessary for wide va
riety of presents in the stores of North
Topeka.
In the way of more useful presents,
at the Eagle Shoe & Clothing company
can be found something for every
member of the family at special
prices for Dollar Day. J.. R. Spetter
is also offering special Dollar Day
prices on his entire stock of mems fur
nishing goods, and the S. r. Graham
Clothing company has made price re-
auctions on it's stock for Dollar Day.
According to Mr.. Kendall of the
Quality Boot Shop, while all leather
footwear has come down in price, it is
expected that the market will stiffen
later. He is selling his leather foot
wear at one-third off for Monday,
Dollar Day, thus giving his patrons the
advantage of the present lower prices.

Topeka real estate men are becom-
ing slightly interested in the British
housing plan. That England is recog-
nizing the tremendous need of housing
quarters is only another factor indica-
tive of the worldwide house shortage.
They are building houses of con-
crete in England. They are construct
ed solidly and will remain suita bic
dwellings as long as the same type of
house would if it were constructed of
solid stone.
They are being sold to purchasers
at the cost of the rent. Under the
present plan it takes rs years to pay
out on the house provided payments
are made on no more rapid scale than
merely the rental basis.

| ing of the public is strengthened, and
| normal demand is again active. No
sale is a good sale unless it profits
both the buyer and seller.
Labor, We must remember, is the
great item entering into the cost of
building materials laid down on the
job and it is also the great item of
expense that constitutes the cost of
putting them in place in the building.
This will not be less. We must not
increase in freight rates, which the
consumer must pay. This alone will
offset any manufacturing reductions
which you might expect. Besides, the
storehouses of building materials are
poorly stocked. There is not a stock
of clay products sufficient to even get
started Lumber manufacturers are
not cutting and stocking up, and they
will not do SO until the demand war
rants it.
