THE OLD BLACK HEN

Said the little red rooster, gosh all
hemlock, things are tough"
seems that worms are getting scarce
and | can't find enough,
What's become of all those fat ones
IS mystery to me;
There were thousands through that
rainy spell, but now where can they
be?
The old black hen who heard him,
didn't grumble or complain;
She had gone through lots of drv
spells, she had lived thru floods OF
rain.
30 she flew UP on the grindstone, and
she gave her claws q whet
AS she said 1--WE never seen the time
there weren't worms to GET
She picked new and undug spot; the
earth was hard and firm.
The little rooster jeered "New ground
that's no place for a worm"
me Old black hen just spread her
fcet, she dug fast and free.
l must go to the worms" she said,
ne worms won't come to me-
The rooster vainly spent the day, thru
habit, by the ways
Where fat round worms had passed in
:, squads back in the rainy days.
When nightfall found him supperless,
he growled in accents rough
I'm hungry as fowl can be. Con-
d1tions sure are tough"
lie turned then to the old black hen
and said cts worse with you
For you're not only hungry, you must
be tired too.
rested while I worked for worms
. SO feel fairly perk;
But how are you, without worm too.
and after all that work."
The old black hen then hoped to her
perch and dropped her eyes to sleep.
And murmured in a drowsy tone, -
Dung man, hear this and weep.
I'M full of worms and happy, for I've
-, dined both long and we'll,
Inc worms are there as always, -
but had to dig like ell"

Comment

In the foregoing announcement l
have tried to use good, old fashioned
words and terms to express the prin-
ciplcs of loyalty and patriotism that
was breathed into the body polite by
our forefathcrs. 1t proved good for
them and it has proven good for those
who have come after them and it is
good now and will ever be. want you
to read with emphasis the words in
capital letters, and if you believe in
my integrity and ability, do you need
or desire a stronger pledge for the
protection of your legitimate rights?
Is it not safer and saner to be guild
ed by the principles cnunciated
than to blindly pledge this, that or the
others? A man who rs unworthy of
your confidence on a pledge such as
| have announced is unworthy of a
public trust. Do you know of any
better way to conserve and preserve
PuDhS lhtNlN9lS Ihdi W DC SuluCu Ill
this service, by the RECORDS. by
EXPERIENCE and by INTELLI-
GENT PUBLIC OPINION If so
it would be revelation and appropri-
ate. The fellow who is egotistical as
to think he can make good, just and
equitable laws off-hand, like making
tracks in the sand. is unworthy of
having a public trust committed into
his hands. | regard it very serious
responsibility for it to be made my
duty to create and make laws by
which my fellow citizens must be
governed. In view of this fact, do
you blame me for saying that l shall
not commit myself to the repeal or
enactment of any measure which l
have not had time and opportunity to
study and consider in the beneficent
light of truth as revealed by the
RECORDS, by EXPERIENCE and
INTELLIGENT PUBLIC OPIN-
ION and to do my duty as God and
patriotism shall inspire me.

there were about 800 purchasers who
paid an average price Of $1,000 for
these lots.
High Prices for Good Realty
This sale illustrated another point
which Is often misunderstood. Many
people believe that IL is only the lower
class properties which can be success
fully sold at auction. The prices which
were paid for the lots at this sale,
as well as those paid for property 81
the sale Of the Mace Estate, Of which
spoke before, indicate that there is
no class distinction governing property
which can and which cannot be sold NJ
auction. Any property can be sold in
this way. The better properties will,
OF course. always bring the higher
prices. and think these two sales
clearly indicate that high class prop
erty can be sold at auction.
Just as there is no dividing line In
the class Of property which finds b
ready market AZ auction sales. so there
are no restrictions ss 10 location. Dur
ing 1922 we held eale in Bridgeport
Conn, which was just as successful as
any Of the numerous sales VIC held IN
the Bronx.
In the second division, that Of i'm
proved property, tho same contentious
as 70 the length Of the auction season
and a. TO the variety OF property which
can be successfully sold, holds good.
The real estate auction saleSroom is a
forum for real estate buyers snd there
is TO reason why selling should not be
maintained throughout the year in
steud Of being confined TO the summer
months. The argument that prospec-
tive buyers cannot inspect the property
to be sold during the winter Is, OF
course, foolish, especially so when an
piled 20 improved property or build
ing8. Many buyers come TO the slcs-
room who know little about the prop
erty 70 be sold, and join in the COM
pctitiye bidding. This, Of cOurse, Is
only possible when sales arc conducted
under the direction Of q recognized
auctioneer OF unimpeachable standing
and one who enjoys the confidence OF
the public at large. We have sold IN
1922 hundreds Of improved properties,
varying in location from the center Of
Manhattan TO the outlying committing
centers and Of wales as widely diverg-
ent as Fifth Avenue buildings and
Long Island bungalows. I believe that
1925 will see many auction sales OF I'M
proved property Of ali classes.
In summing up all these opinions
| can only say again "the outlook Tor
the real estate auction market for 1873
is the brightest in all the annals OF
New York realty"

tween Forest Hills and the L. /. r. r.
station at Elmhurst. As successor
20 The horse-stage, an automobile bus
subsequently, was placed In operation
between the same points.
In 1908 FIVE steam trains stopped
daily. on Gag signal only, at the For
est Hills station, which az that time
was little more than a platform.
In 1910 the electric service Of the
L. /. X. r. was put into operation and
the transportation troubles Of the For
est Hills section we're ended. Troll
ley service 10 Fifty-ninth Street and
Second Avenue was begun In 1912.
II was In 1909 that the Sage Foun-
dation purchased approximately 100
acres from the Cord Meyer Develop
ment Company, and, In 1910, an addi-
tional forty acres.
Two years later, in 1912, the de-
velopment Of Kew Gardens was begun,
and in 19f3-14 the West Side Tennis
Club, al Forest Hills Gardens, was or
ganised and began TO function.
New 100000 Thester
The current year saw the opening Of
q new 100000 thester, located on Con-
tinental Avenue, in the business seq
tion Of Forest Hills, directly at the
station, on land purchased from the
Cord Meyer Development Company,
and adjacent TO a 10000 building
erected by the Corn Exchange Bank
for occupancy by branch Of that in
stitution.
AT the present time there are about
$50 houses at Forest Hills and from
400 to $50 at Forest Hills Gardens.
The COO acres purchased by the Cord
Never Development Company In 1904
was then assessed at S360,000. l un-
derstand that this same property TO-
day. with the Improvements made
since, is assessed at sbout .$lO,OOOOOO.
And this valuation Of $l0,00O,OOO does
not include the 40 acres sold TO the
Sage Foundation in 1909-1O.
With tho rapid increase OF popula-
ton in the Forest Hills and Forest
Hills Garden sections, tho need Of
moro schools end churches has been
felt, as a result of which large
school building has been built recently
and a portable school building erected
at Forest Hills Gardens near the ran
road station. A community church
has been built IN the same neighbor-
hood and o Masonic temple Bt forcs'

Building sites at Forest Hills arc
