April Realty Activity

April real estate activity is indi.
Gated by the figure S5.7. according
to the statistics compiled by the Ma.
tional Association Of Real Estate
Boards from the number OF deeds
recorded in 81 cities from which
the association draws It's data, using
1926 as base year upon which 70
compare activity from month to
month. The figure for March was
1913.
This is the eighth index figure
to be computed by the association
IN the new series. Formerly the
association compiled index figures
based not on deeds alone. but on
all transfers and conveyances in
the cities reporting. For that rea.
son the former series Is not COM

Of the fastest growing in the M.

That Fort Stevens is an ideal

by the fact that three salesme4

have purchased homes there and
are permanent residents OF the COM
5munity. One OF the statesmen,
Thomas w. Lyons. who lives ~
6213 Seventh St., gives the follow
ling explanation why he purchases
his home in Fort Stevens.
Consider Children
MY first and most important
reason for seeking a home az a.
was out Of consideration for the
health Of my children. which was
lNcGDHliHK seriously AluYdhCu AFAAta
In an apartment.
-Tn seekinR q home within my
means / decided that II should Re
Isemidetached at least, and in r
location where my children would
have pIenty OF fresh air and good
environment. I further decided that
my home should be located where
my children could go back and
forth to school without the necee.
sity Of an escort, and without dan.
ger or accident by automobiles.
IN Fort stevens found all my
wishes more than amply fulfilled. ]
found q six-room. semi.detached
home at the price and terms that
confornaed to my pockethook. fur'
Their found both public and paro-
ehial schools practically at my door,
no more worries about traffic and
no more escorting my children twice
day TO and from school. And,
further. found stores and street
car accommodations quite adjacent.
Above all. / found a highly re-
stricted community made UP Of
high class young people all vieing
with each other In the upkeep o.
their homes and grounds
VIII Get Parks
1T In more gratifying for those
who have purchased IN Fort Stevens
to know that the Government has
decided to supply US with a large

football field. In addition new

"AH In all, Fort Stevens bears
more than favorable comparison as

people OF modest means. and
heartily recommend it to all who
are seeking a new home.

AS BUCkETEER

The first bucket shop Indictment
reported in some time by District
Grand Jury was handed down yester-
day against Oscar Felkar, who IL
charged with conducting business
in violation Of the law since Jan.
uary /, 1928.
The Indictment is in three counts,
the first charging that Felkar was
q keeper of a bucket shop from
January !, 1928, until the present
date, the second charging that he
contracted with Mary d. Bline, on
February IS, last, to purchase GER
tain stock in the Middle States Oil
Company, but made no such pur.
chase, The third count Is that
Felkar did not intend an actual
and bona fide receipt and delivery
of the stock but intended instead
to make settlement based on diff
ferences of the market quotations
at the time on which the stock
was supposed to have been bought
and sold.
The present Indictment presages

We know now where all the head
lettuce comes from. Also We have
been let in on a nationwide plot
to induce the folks of this great
and glorious country to eat more
and more head lettuce every year,
writes A. G. Kittell in Capper's
Weekly.
You may have seen evidences of
such propag Uganda but have not
thought much about 1t. For ex-
ample, what banquet or any other
public dinner have you partaken of
in .the last half dozen years or
so at which head lettuce in some
form was not served?
The United States consumed
81. .446 carloads last year.
The place where most of the head
lettuce is grown and where this
humanitarian plot was Matched is
southern Arizona and California. It
used to be grown extensively in
Florida. A few years ago that
State produced one-third of all the
head lettuce in the United States.
Last year it grew less than 2
per cent. Warm winter sunshine,
the right soil and irrigation, water
when needed are the factors that
make the southern sections Of Art-
Zona and California a paradise for
lettuce growers. So far as is known
there is no section in any part of
the world better adapted to this
crop
