FIRST SUBDIVISION.

A copy of the August 20. 1918. issue
of the Maryland Journal and Balti-
more Advertiser. recently unearthed
by the research division of the Detroit
Real Estate Board shows that George
Washington probably was one Of the
first real estate ''subdividers" in
America.
The advertisement regarding Wash
inston's subdivision" shows that the
property was located in the wilds of
Ohio, which was peopled by Indians
and little known to the white man.
The land offered comprised more than
10000 acres, and was one OF the first
pieces of Western land to be cleared
for colonization.

The principal mills have sold II

This showing. however, is partly due

The slowness of building in getting

retailers to add heavily to their

awarded indicate that it will not be

DOLORES, QUEEN OF
r FL E BANDIT GANG
OF THE GREAT WEST

The bandit queen Dolores she lived
this day, it's true, and the days of her
adventures weren't in 1892. She roam
ed our peaceful valleys in the darkness
of the night, and did her beauty sleep
ing wh4e the sun was shining bright.
She held her band together in an old
time queenly way and led them on
to victory, ere the night would turn
to day. She robbed the lowly ner
chant, the gas stands and their tills-
took anything from carpet tacks to
hundred dollar bills. They never were
molested in their travels to and fro,
and the goods were put together and
sent t. Mo~!cc. Her band con
sisted mostly of suitors from all class
es; from the baker and the tailor to
the postal clerk with glasses. Her
motor cars were Bucks, they seemed
to suit her best, and she rode in them
serenely as she robbed the old time
west. For many years she plundered
she was getting brave and saucy.
Then her road was blocked one morn
ing by a sheriff and his posse. Guns
were pointed at them, they were jerk
ed from out their car. They were
handcuffed securely and-"S Stand right

her magic and brought them to her
feet Then she stepped into big

She got away completely but her pill
grimage wasn't long, for the people
in the vaAeys rose in posses strong.
Now she rests upon the concrete with
her windows decked w. bars, where
she leans in all her splendor and
gazes at tue stars. Her friends have
all been taken to a place that's high
and round-it's not an easy word to
say, nor has pleasant sound. Now

BROTHERS, ONCE PENNILESS,
MERGE GREAT RIVAL BANKS

, A T the ages of 54 and SO, two
brothers, who started out
penniless at the ages of Is and II
to make their fortunes, have
merged two Oklahoma City
(Okla.) banks into one, making it
the largest financial institution of
their state.
The brothers are Frank P. and
Hugh M. Johnson. Frank p, the
older, for 21 years has been presi-
dent of the American Savings
Bank and it's predecessors in
Oklahoma City. Hugh NJ, for %
years has been president Of the
First National Bank of Oklahoma
City.
The merged institution of the
brothers, to be known as the
American First National Bank.
will have capital of 100000
and resources of $50, 100000.
Start as Journalists
The brothers started out as
journalists and-to their present
satisfaction but deep regret at the
time-they failed. They began
editing and publishing the Kos
ciusko Star in Kosciusko, Miss.
This venture brought them only a
bare living and they drifted to
Oklahoma City, Okla, where they
started the Daily Clarion.
Soon the sheriff was at the door
and they suspended publication.
Frank became a school teacher
at $55 month and Hugh did
whatever work he could find.
Insurance Agents
Later they bought out a fire in
surance and mortgage agency and
operated for two years under th-
firm name of Johnson & John
son.

prosperity and the younger

A KILLER AT ELEVEN.
By Arthur Brisbane

William Durland, president Of a
great riding school, retiring, says
the automobile will never replace
the saddle horse. Nevertheless,
the saddle horse will vanish, and
be only a memory to children Of
today's children.
When the musket came in, men
thought it couldn't take the place
of bow and arrow. And, Of course,
it couldn't replace the hawk that
rode out on its owners wrist and
flew up to bring down the game
bird.
The horse will hnger on farms
for a while and then disappear, as
farming becomes really scientific.
The work that requires three hum
dred days Of the farmers time
now, will be done in about forty
days or less. And the "horse" will
be a machine, run by gas, cleo
itricity or wireless power.
Many good investments in this
world for those that hang on.
