RE AL EST A TIE
North Jerseys Vacation

new plan for summer vacations
is being put into effect this year by
the North Jersey Title Insurance
Company of Hackensack. During
the two weeks from August Is to Au-
gust 81 the entire Title Department,
except skeleton force of two OF
three men, will be away on vacation.
This innovation should prove sue
cessful as it enables the Title Com
pany to give their best service fifty
weeks in the year instead of being
obliged to use a crippled force during
all of the summer months. The EN-
ployees are looking forward to it with
enthusiasm as it will eliminate for
every one the Objectionable feature of
doing two mems work for three
months in order to obtain two weeks
rest
This vacation applies only to the
Title Department. The other depart
ments will be open during that time.
Arrangements have been made to re-
ceive and acknowledge all applica-
tions for examinations of title.
While this plan has been introduced
by many New York law firms, this is
the first time title insurance COM
pany has adopted it. Should it prove
successful there is no doubt that other
companies in this section will follow
the lead of the North Jersey.

Appraisers, Bane Brown. ]. S.
Carr, E. P. Trussell and Trumont

property holdings of the late S. r.
Sagle. have filed their report IN the

They found that Mr. Sagle's personal
estate was Of greater value than the
real estate owned by him. The farm
on which Mr. Sagle resided at the
time Of his death, located two miles
south of Leetown, and containing 1877
acres, was appraised at S12,250. A
value of $500 was placed on Mr..
Sagle's farm near Summit Point.
while a tract of mountain land was
figured at $500 In his personality
holdings, the appraisers listed cash in
bank at more than $4,000, Liberty

mortgages of sufficient importance to
make a total of $22, 448.40. His
whole estate was valued at S42.258.-

II MORE MILES OF u. S. HARD
ROADS FOR WEST VIRGINIA

West Virginia farmers and tour
lists now enjoy II miles more of the
Federal-aid highways than they did
year ago. according to the Sears
Roebuck Agricultural Foundation.
This mileage, completed in the year
ending June 80, cost total of ST.
853,452, of which the federal govern
ment furnished $865,251. Highway
construction under this plan now un-
der way in the state totals of 149
miles, while the total. mileage COM
pleted previous to last year was 255
miles.
This additional mileage, while a
convenience to the tourist in the
state, is godsend to the farmer, ac-
cording to the Foundation. 1t is esti-
mated that each and every farmer in
this section of the country averages
10 tons of farm products hauled to
market and s tons of feed, fuel, fer
tilizer, machinery, supplies, etc.,
from town. When good roads make
trucks feasible this is not very bur-
densome, but it represents a good
many hours labor where horses and
poor roads must be used. And so
while the tourist finds the inter-city
roads mighty comfortable, to the
farmer good serviceable road from
his farm to the nearest market is a
downright necessity.
The expansion of hard road sys-
TENS both in this and other states in
recent wears has given the farmer an
added inducement for going into
business for himself, the Foundation
states. That he has not been slow to
take advantage of the opportunity is
testified in the increasing number of
roadside markets on the more fire.
quented highways. Figures show that
each of these markets takes in fiji
teen to thirty dollars up to several
hundred dollars a day, varying with
the locality, the preponderance of
buyers being tourists driving through
the vicinity. Some of these are
nothing more than stands of simple
board construction while the more
pretentious are housed in buildings
which may be locked after the days
or the seasons business. The most
successful of the markets are so plac-
ed as to have convenient parking ia
cilities where prospective buyers may
examine the articles of food. which
should be of good quality yet mod
eratelv priced and attractively dis
PLAYED.

STAY HOME TO WED, WEST VIR.
GINA FARM GIRLS TOLD

The West Virginia country girl has
a better opportunity for marriage at
home than she would in the city.
Comparison of marriage statistics for
city and country districts in the state
by P. V. Ewing of the Sears-Roe-
buck Agricultural Foundation, re-
veals that whereas the number of
single women in West Virginia cities
is about equal to the number of its
single men, in the rural sections
there are practically one-third more
single men than single women.
An examination of census figures
by Mr.. Ewing showed there are 35,-
ia single women fifteen years and
up in the cities of the state, and 49,
321 males. In the rural places, or
places of $500 population and under,
however, there are 74,455 single
women Is years of age and over to
1887 single men.
The figures also show that rural
folk have greater tendency to mar
ry than have city folk. Whereas
63.3 per cent of the rural inhab-
itants of the state are married, in the
cities only COL per cent are found
so. This is in accord with conditions
throughout the United States which
show that while 61.8 per cent of the
rural population is welded, the per-
centage for the urban population is
only 58.3 per cent. The largest per-
centage of married persons in both
the urban and rural sections is be-
tween the age period of 35 to ID
years, and the smallest between the
ages of fifteen and twenty-four
years.
A big factor in explaining the
greater popularity of marriage in the
country over that in cities is the rel
atively better economic position of
the farmer, according to Mr.. Ewing.
No matter how poor, the farm family
is almost assured of food and shelter.
and there is never the fear of losing
ones job. Too, there is a greater
co-partnership between the farmer
and his wife than exists in the cities.
The idle woman is almost unknown
here, for the wife helps with the
chickens, the cows and the hogs while
her husband is out in the fields. And
so, while the city man may be
financially unable to marry, for the
farmer it is practically an economic
necessity.
