Wasngtons Growth Reflected in Real Estate and Buidir
MORTGAGE
LOANS EMPHASIZED
Realtor Tells Y. n. G. A. Students
Why They Are Attractive as
s.r Investments.

Attractiveness of mortgages as an
Edmund D. Rheem, local realtor, in
discussing the subject Of mortgage
loans at this weeks session of the
Y. NJ. C. A. real estate course.
Among the principle advantages
enumerated were the following: Safe
margin of security: fixed income paid
at regular intervals; payment of the
principle sum or interest Is not de-
pendent upon the success or pros
enterprise; period of investment is
fixed for a definite time and is readily
susceptible Of re-fnvestment; the
form is convenient to handle and
frequently can be used as collateral.
Perhaps the greatest good that has
come from the modern development
of the mortgage business is the fact
that is has made home ownership
possible to countless thousands of
moderate means. who otherwise would
have been compelled to remain ten
ants" said Mr.. Rheem. This phase
OF real estate work is the backbone
Of the development of communities
and the extension of cities through
encouraging home building. Through
the specialized methods that have
grown up in the mortgage loan field
it has been possible to present to the
small investor first-mortgage invest
ments in sums ranging from 500 tc
almost any unlimited amount"
In explaining the method used in
creating these small investments, Mr..
Rheem said 1t consisted simply of a
series Of notes of small denomination
that in the aggregate represent the
total sum of the mortgage loaned
These notes, it was pointed out, are
equal in security and surrounded with
every precaution for the safety of the
investing public. All Of the notes
are secured under one form of deed
Of trust which runs in favor of two
trustees who represent the interest
of all the holders of the individual
notes.
Outlining the procedure in handling
so-called building loan, Mr.. Rheem
pointed out that exactly the same
measures are used in the preparation
of papers, examination of title. and
other details as are followed in mort
gage loans on improved property.
the distinction being that the funds
do not become available to the bor-
rover until his building operation
progresses, according to definite
scales based on the character of the
construction. The funds are dis
bursed to the borrower at different
stages in the progress Of the con-
struction, sufficient always being
withheld to complete the building
should the borrower for any reason
fail to do SO.
At the next session Of the class
the subject of real estate sales will
be discussed by ]. Dallas Grady. local

structure for Office purposes.

These southern mills can produce very
economically and are at the source of
the raw materials. This means that
the cotton mills of the eastern states
will have serious competition. Owing
to the present immigration restric-
tions, these northern mills Will soon
be greatly handicapped as to labor
supply. which fact should also aid the
south.
A fourth factor is that the southern
farmers are employing less labor on
their farms than under previous con-
ditions. many Of them reducing labor
one-half. The reason is that the
farmers are planting a larger acreage
in corn, hay, and other crops and less
acreage in cotton. These other crops
ton does. Today there is a very con-
siderable unemployment of farm la
Dor in the south. This means that
there will be ample labor for cotton
mills and other forms of manufacture
ing and for the development of natural
resources.
New Economic Conditions.
Fifth and finally. the south is real
izing it's need of effort and struggle
in order to hold its economic posi-
ton. The boll-weevil is forcing upon
it a new economic condition which 1t
is now bravely struggling to meet. l

new conditions. but it needs capital.
The south has large undeveloped re-
SOURCES II has coal. mineral deposits
and water powers. Its seaport cities
have good harbors which are stra-
getically located for commerce with
Latin America and southern Europe
Thus, as the south more fully realizes
and grasps the opportunities which 1t
holds, it will grow and develop rapid
ly into commercial Importance. This
means that during the next few years

BUILDING SEASON
MARKED SUCCESS
Every Line of Business Help
ed by Activity, Says New
York Concern.

Encouraging activity marks the draw
ing to a close Of one Of the most sue
cessful building seasons in the country's 8
history, according to an announcement
today by the 8. w. Straus Company Of
New York.
An unabated consistency of progress
has been sustained during each Of the
past ten months, and its achievements,
attained in spite Of many obstacles and
retarding influences. have not been sur
passed by any other department of COM
mercial or industrial activity in the
country. the statement points out. The
fact Is noted that building activities
exert a stimulating influence on nearly
every line of business. and II reason
ably may be assumed that the improve
ment which now pervades the general
situation is to great extent the nat
ural outgrowth of the prodigious ac-
complishments Of the building and con-
structton industries during the year.
This Is. 1t is asserted. matter Of en-
couragement to all lines of business
That the group of industries engaged
IN construction work is in such hope
iul ana promising condition.
Activities Continued.
Although retarded by car shortages.

industry has continued its pronounced
activities during October" the company

steady demand for new and improved
types of structures as the people be-
come educated to higher standards
of living both in their home life and
their business environments. Signif1-
canoe attaches to the recent half-bil-

greatly reduced until this weevil is
controlled. The amount produced for
the next few years may not be more
than half of the requirements of
former years. This means that high
prices may be expected both for raw
cotton and for all manufactured cot
ton goods for some time to come.
Secondly. the, south. which has been
"one crop" country, will be forced
to raise other crops and become at
least self supporting. In previous
years the south has imported from the
middle west nearly all the corn and
a large portion of the meat which it
has consumed. This year the south
has raised sufficient corn for its own
use. 1t is also successfully Kidding
itself of the tick" which is so detri-
mental to raising good cattle. Herds
OF fine stock are rapidly increasing.
and the south. which has an ideal
climate for all-year stock grazing.
should soon be one of the most i'm
portant stock raising sections of the
country. This means that the middle
west will have serious competitor in
corn and stock raising.
Manufactures Increase.
The third factor to consider is that
the south will steadily increase it's
manufacture of cotton into finished
goods. Already 1t is shipping large
quantities of these manufactured cot
ton goods into the northern states.

WELLESLEY HILLS. MASS. Octo-
Der 2S-In the so-called cotton belt"
which stretches across many of the
southern states. is produced GO per
cent of the worlds supply Of cotton
In fact, this cotton crop has been so
important that the south has practi-
cally given its entire attention to cot
ton and thus become "one CROP
country. The boll-weevil is now de-
stroying a large percentage of this
cotton crop. so that in many sections
only one bale of cotton is gathered
where two were originally produced.
OF course. great efforts are being
made to control the boll-weevil. and
science will ultimately find solution
of this problem. In the meantime
there are several factors to be consid-
cred.
First, our supply of cotton will be
