SEARCH MADE FOR
GIRLS ASSAILANT.

Armed men, with a pack of blood
hounds, made an all-night search in
Pendleton county, Ky, last night for
a man who attacked Mary Teyman,
thirteen-year-old girl, on road four
miles from Falmouth, Friday evening.
When the Falmouth authorities heard
of the attack they telephoned to Cap
tain " G. Mullikin. of Lexington. Ky,
who hurried with his pack of blood
hounds to Pendleton county, and aided
a posse in searching the woods in the
vicinity of the attack. The girl is a
stepdaughter of Elwood Fryer, a far
mer, near Falmouth. She was seized
by man who struck her on the head
and dragged her to the side of the
road. But her screams frightened him
and he released her and fed.

Kansas City, November IT, 1920.
However we are even more fortunate
in some ways than Kansas City. But
the housing situation in all these
places has been rental property only.
market for sale is plentiful. However,
not quite SO plentiful as it was in the
spring of 1919, but I believe there is
not one who wants it quite so plentiful
as it was at that period,
1t was the opinion of the best brains
of the country giving testimony before
the Senatorial Committee that prices
have just about reached their low
mark and there is better possibility
of materials increasing in prices after
March 1, 1921. even raising in value to
the height of June 1, 1920.
The conclusions therefore are that
the party who wants to build had
better begin to make plans now and
make arrangements for the buying of
the materials between now and March
LIST. The wholesale market price on
lumber ranges about $35. This being
what is considered the new high level.
Local yards necessarily will have to
charge a little more than this as they
must pay for freight, handling, etc.
But prices here should approximately
come to about $45 a thousand or less
The building and loan associations
of the United States are doing more
than any other one institution to re-
lieve the housing situation in the
United States. The. associations are
now willing and ready to take care of
building operations and individual buy
ers who want to build their homes.
The Topeka building and loan associa-
tions are ready now to have plans sub
mitted and specifications and with ma :
terialS bought on what is considered
the high level of prices will be willing
to Joan as high as 10 per cent of the
cost of the building, lots and improve
ments.
The party who borrows the money
from a building and loan association
pays interest only on the amount as
is going up and being constructed. The
association looks after and watches
the construction and helps the owner
see that it is built according to plans
and specifications. This costs the bor-
rover nothing. He pays his Il or 8
per cent on the monthly balance of
what he is owing. His principal is
reducing each month with each pay
rnent he makes, also his interest is
reducing correspondingly in amount,
according to the reduction of the prin-
cip4l of his loan.
The expenses of making the loan
with building and loan association are
the actual expenses of recording the
papers and examining the abstract
These expenses will run about $40 and
very rarely exceed SIS. There are no
charges for supervision of construe-
ton, for closing up the deal, apprais-
ing the property nor for making the

which should not be overlooked by the
public and we believe that the public
is realizing this saving.

Appraisals.
An appraisal of real estate is an
opinion as to fits value, says a real es-
tate man, by one qualified by expert
ence and sound judgment to render
an opinion. The opinion should be
given by one not financially interested
in the subject. Naturally the opinion
of three disinterested persons bears
more weight than that of one person.
There are no laws to govern apprais-
ais. Appraising is science, and can
be scientific only so far as all ele-
ments of value entering into the con-
sideration of the subject are estimated
correctly.
There are elements OF value capable
of classification. Land as acreage
may be considered from its location
and access, its utility, which includes
agricultural possibility. Size. shape
and area are other factors.
Sales of similar land in the immedi-
ate vicinity are important but not alb
solutely conclusive. A forced sale is
not the best evidence of value.
With farm lands. the character of
the soil must be considered and the
physical deterioration of the soil. Diff
ference of opinion arise among ex-
perts mostly with reference to the
value of improved. properties because
with buildings there is not only physi-
cal depreciation but economic depre-
citation to be considered.

Activities In
Capital City

Topeka real estate business last
week reached volume of $115,600.
The loaning of money reached more
flourishing proportions than the sale
of property, according to the informa-
ton that reached the office of George
L. Tuer. secretary of the Topeka real
estate board.
The total amount of money loaned
was 100000. Mortgage companies and
realtors loaned $4,000. Private loans
amounting to $1,000 were recorded.
Property sales dwindled pereeptibly
in volume. Only S25,9o0 worth of
property changed hands. 1t was an
even break between farm property and
city property. a fifty-fifty proposition.
City and farm property were recorded
at $4,000 each.

of the organized horse, cattle, swine
and sheep interests at this period.
Pedigreed live stock valued at over
81 600, 900 will be sold during the Ex-
position week. Contributions to these
sales will come from ali over the
United States and the British Islands,
giving the commercial phase of the
Exposition a pronounced international
character.
Nothing will be more calculated to
arouse interest than the grain and
hay display. This year every i'm
portant section of the United States
and Canada will be represented.
The show will not only be an inspira-
tion to grain and grass growers, but
will afford a demonstration of the
productive capacity of the various
sections represented.
The women viii! have abundant en-
tertainment and instruction in the

represent the real Louisville {. o. b.

was paying. A conference was called

Of the mill men, the grain dealers
and representatives of the daily press.
the matter was Strengthened out, so
that thereafter the papers have carried
the actual Louisville market prices.
This has saved millions Of dollars to
the wheat growers Of Kentucky.
Every wheat grower in the State
could well afford to pay one cent per
bushel to the Kentucky Farm Bureau
for this one act alone.
The Farm Bureau takes the stand
that farm is a factory, hence any
thing that the members wish to pur-
chase should be done comparatively
through their business agent, and
what they have to sell can be han
died in the same manner. The Farm
Bureau takes no antagonistic attitude
toward local merchants, but just the
contrary, yet if two or more mer-
chants in a town can purchase a car
load of fence wire or fertilizers to-
gether, so can two or more farmers
co the same thing, buying where they
can get the best terms, and this right
is extended to all Farm Bureau men,
bers. This necessitates the employ
ment of a business agent in each
county where the membership is
strong enough to justify it. On an
other page will be found a symposium
Of the ideals of the Farm Bureau and
the activities that are proposed to go
into. The farm bureaus are approved
by the Department Of Agriculture
and the county and home demonstra-
ion agents work comparatively with
hem.

THE FARM BUREAU

The question comes up now and
then as to what have the farm bu-
reaus accomplished so far. AS we
see it, and we can speak more par
ticularly for Kentucky, the first OBJ
jet so far is organization, for with
out a strong organization nothing
can be accomplished. In this State
the Farm Bureau is only about eight
months old and now number 1900
members. Forty-six counties are or
ganized, with one county, Christian,
holding a membership Of 1000 and
still growing. A drive is to be put
on in the State this fall, when the
membership is expected to be doubled.
But is the Farm Bureau function
ing in the State? Has anything def
mite been accomplished to justify the
Farm Bureaus existence? Let's
take only a few concrete examples
for answer. In Carroll county the
Farm Bureau at four months Of age,
121 members, did a business of $751;
699.00 and saved for it's members
S3,259.55 in the purchase Of field seed,
feed, fertilizer and seed potatoes.
Allen county, just six months old
did a business of over $65 900, saw
ing over $4,000. They have pur-
chased a $4,000 brick warehouse,
decided to the Farm Bureau Of the
county and, in addition TO savings
have a fund Of over $1,000 toward
payment on the warehouse. Numer-
Gus other achievements could be cited
but these should show that the Farm
Bureau is funetioning, but another
will be mentioned.
One act that affected every wheat
grower in the State was at threshine
seasons the mills in Kentucky agreed
TO pay Louisville quotations day by
day for wheat. On investigation by
the Secretary Of the State Farm Blu
reau il was found that the Louisville
papers carried quotations as paid BY
