LONDON, March 2S.--A woman
revivalist from California has
struck London like whirlwind.
She is Aimee Semple Mcpherson,
who founded the -four Square
Gospel, Church in Los Angeles,
and with her red-gold hair, all
ways beautifully waved, her gor-
Eeous gowns and her suite at 4
fashionable and expensive hotel,
she is different from anything that
London has ever seen In pulpit.
Her aim, says Mrs. Mcpherson,
fs to bring spiritual consolation to
the niddIe-class, leaving those
above to themselves, and those be-
low to the Salvation Army.
She has opened a series OF meet
fngs at the Surrey Tabernacle. and.
according to all reports. has met
with enthusiastic and surprising
success. delivering I5,OOO-word ser.

While Mrs. Henrietta Moss, so, of
North Charleroi, is still contented
and determined after being con-
fined in the county jail here since
February 81, because she would not
pay her taxes, officials have made
an investigation OF the law and
presidents to determine just how

INSULATING LUMBER
VITAL IN BUILDING

Threatened coal shortage and warn
ings of diminishing lumber supply no
longer loom as menaces to the present
or prospective home builder, since
celotex, or synthetic insulating lum-
Der, has become a vital factor in mod
ern house construction.
Celotex is one Of those inevitable
creations Of human inventiveness,
stimulated by necessity, that replace
the limited supply Of a natural prod
uct with n synthetic" or fabricated
one. Bagasse, or sugar cane, because
of its exceptionally long and tough
fibre, is used as its base and converted
into boards 7-16 inch thick, four feet
wide and from s TO - feet long. Re
peated scientific tests have proved
that these celotex boards have greater
strength than the lumber which they
replace, added to which is the feature
of increased resistance to the passage
Of heat and cold, as well as its sound
deadening qualities.

CONSIDER RENT.

in considering this income. one must
first know what the property is rented
for; then what similar properties IN
the neighborhoOd are rented for:
whether the space there is scarce OF
whether il is easy 70 rent. In an
improved property the question Of the
expense or cost Of up-keep is impor.
tant. As in the case Of an apartment
house. the customer must be told what
il will cost 10 run Il; and the net in
come must be known, which requires
accurate details Of the cost. The aver
age real estate man is not well inform
ed as 20 the cost: he usually takes
the gross income and only arrives at
approximate figures. The class Of i'm
provement also takes into considera-
tion the fact that some Improvements
more quickly than others; as
an example, 100 per cent per annum
can be counted upon for such az the
late Ice Skating Rink Of this city. An
office building will not always remain
modern and its depreciation must be
considered. In an active neighborhood
property is more in demand than in
lUiet ones.

ers who are growing onion sets in
smaller quantities. The acreage given
includes only the number of acres Of
onion sets and in addition to this there
is considerable acreage of cabbage
plants. Later on other kinds of plants
will be added to the list. The grow
ers will start shipping some time in
February, and the entire acreage is
already contracted at prices to insure
the grower a good profit.
Those who are qualified to judge are
predicting that the plant growing in
dustry is destined to become the
largest and most profitable industry in
the Crystal City country and that
within a very few years.
The plants can be grown here dur
ing the winter months and are ready
for transplanting by the time the seed
could be planted in the North.
Every year finds some new industry
firmly rooted in this community, and
with the wide variety of products that
can be grown here. there is no season
when some crop cannot be profitably
grown. Diversification is getting TO
be the watchword of the farmers in
this vicinity and the future OF the
country is assured.

ONION SET GROWING LEADS
CRYSTAL CITY INDUSTRY

CRYSTAL CITY, Tex, Jan. O.
One of the Crystal City country's most
rapidly growing industries has up to
the present time, received but little
publicity. but in spite of this fact it
has continued from Il very small be-
ginning TO substantial proportions.
This industry is the growing of onion
sets and other plants for the Northern
markets. for transplanting purposes.
This industry was started about
three years ago when one or two par
ties began TO grow plants in very small
quantities, mostly on town lots and to
market them by parcel post. BY the
second year these parcel post ship
ments had increased to express ship
ments and this year the acreage has
been increased to such an extent that
the plants will be shipped in carload
lots.
Among the growers who are devot-
ing considerable acreage to this in
dustry are: Busey and MILAN, 6O
acres; Byrd Cattle Company, 100
acres; X. W. Alger. 60 acres; F. W.
Pulliam, 20 acres; Bruce Holsomback,
20 acres. This represents only the
larger growers as there are many 9th

S. A. TOURISTS MAKE

to Carl Newton, owner Of the Fox

Tourists on their first visit to San

GOOD PLANNING.

Then. the shape of the property !;
where there are small stores. the front
age is the most important factor. In
the larger centers of the country, the
light and ventilation question is i'm
portant. In San Antonio. this has
not yet became a vital question. though
the exposure here does influence the
value Of a property. Another factor
is what business the property is suit
ed for. and the nature of the business
near by. The improvements of prop
erty take other factors into considera-
ton: their cost, their present condi-
tion, and whether they are suitable
for purposes for which they might be
required later on. Though improve
ments may be in good condition. they
might not be suitable for other pur-
poses than for those for which they
were originally constructed. How well
the building is planned is another fea-
tire. A six Foot step in front Of 4
shop is an instance Of where a prop
erty can be deteriorated in value. due
to bad planning. The desirability Of
a property also depends on the amount

THE ANALYSIS.

In this connection. the following
points must be taken into considera-
ton: the neighborhood. or section of
the city; whether it is progressive,
with new building going on. whether
the property owners are. active. The
nature of the neighborhood must be
determined; i. e. the class of property
in it; the conditions of the streets,
whether they are the main traffic high
ways Of the place. whether they are
wide enough for the actual traffic or
future traffic, and the class of traffic
that passes there.
Then. whether anything Is about 10
take place in the neighborhood. Wheth-
er it is easy 10 get TO or easy TO pass
through and just what chances there
are for changes. Public Improvements
are an influence. The new auditor
Jun here. with its grounds. improves
the neighborhood where it is situated
One should also consider whether the
ncighborhoOd is in the path of de-
yelopment or improvement OF the city.
The size Of the property is vital for
in some localities the uses of the build
ing determine whether they must have
large or small areas.
