FIFTH CENTURY RECORDS
REVEAL TAX GRIEVANCES
Realty Board Recalls Story of How
Pisistratus Granted Exemp-
ton to Farmer.

In its campaign to tighten the burden
of taxation on real estate. the National
Association of Real Estate Boards has
delved into records Of the fifth century
to show that complaints against taxes
are not new and that in that far dis
tant time, one ruler listened sympathetic
cally to such pleas.
The National Realty Board reports
that Pisistratus. son of Hiprocates, ruler
= of Athens in the last part of the fifth
, century. believed in encouraging farm
life and undertook many measures to
keep his people out of the cities. even
advancing money to the poorer people
to help them make their living from
agricultural pursuits. but he did tax
them one -tenth of what they produced.
The story goes that PiSistratuS, fol-
lowing his policy of trying to keep the
farmers even from visiting the cities fer
necessary purposes, instituted local
courts and sailed forth himself into the
rural sections to settle disputes.
During these trips the ruler inspected
; The countryside carefully and one day
he saw a man named Hymettus Guilt
waiting the spot that was afterward
called THE Tax Free Farm" Hymettus
was working hard in the hot sun, and
Pisistratus sent an attendant to ask the
worker what he got out of his plot OF
land.
ACHES and palms." stormed the farm
er, not knowing the ruler was near,
tand that's what Pisistratus should have
for his taxes" and Pisistratus was so
impressed that he granted Hymettus ex-
emption from all taxes.

LOWER COSTS HELD
AID TO BUILDING
Construction Officials Also Cite
Availability of Skilled
Mechanics.

Declines in the cost Of building ma
terials and house equipment products
and the current availability Of skilled
building mechanics makes this time
ly period for the construction OF homes,
observers affiliated with the construc-
ton industry point out.
Building costs now are lower than at
any time in nine years, according to
the George A. Fuller Co. The present
rates of decline is slight and seems to
indicate that the not remote future
will be a most favorable time for new
building, it is commended.
The current bulletin Of the National
City Bank states that the hourly rate
of wages for bricklayers has risen 5
cents during the past l8 months in the
New York area, but that at the same
time a workman now lays from 1900
to 1,400 common bricks per day,
whereas formely he laid but 700.
Prices of brick, lumber, cement and
other building materials have declined
in the past year.
Further benefiting the current build"
ers has been the reduction of the costs

produced "off the job" according to
the owners of Strathmeade. Furnaces,

ADVERTISING NEED CITED
Realtor Tells Colleagues More Than
Snappy Sign Is Necessary.

Years ago when only doctors and
real estate men owned automobiles, the
realtor had a hard time differentiating
between the live prospects and the peo-
pie who wanted to go for JOY rides, and
now the real estate man must furnish
more service than a pleasant outing If
he wishes to prosper, Glenn A. Edmin-
ster of Wichita, Kans., told members of
the farm lands and country estates di-
vision of the National Association Of
Real Estate Boards, at its Baltimore
convention last week.
Discussing methods Of securing bust
ness under present-day conditions, Mr..
Edminster, whose farm land sales in
the last seven years have totaled
$1,000 900, told his audience that they
cannot operate successfully without
advertising. But, hanging out snappy
sign labeled Established Since 1884"
is not vigorous enough advertising, said
the speaker.

Trusted Neighbors, But Rare
Fishes Recovering

Lost" because it trusted its
neighbors too much, species of
fish considered to be virtually ex-
tinct was found in large numbers
recently in California reservoir
lake, and is now being given new
start in waters where there are no
neighbors at all.
Two freshwater lakes in Sacra-
mento county especially prepared
for the return of the prodigal Sac
ramento perch, are devoid of any
other variety of fish but abundantly
supplied with food, says bulletin
of the American Game Association.
These "fish heavens" to which the
Inflated game fish have suddenly
assembled are in the way of being a
reward for the species trustful hab-
it of stringing its eggs like beads on
submerged branches, so that they
quickly become tidbits for egg
dieting neighbors. Most other fish
build nests in the sand and stand
pugnacious guard until the eggs
hatch.
The Iost" fish were discovered
accidentally when officers of the
bureau of fish rescue of the divis-
ion of fish and game were called to
save adult fish from the low water
conditions of Lake Chabot, munic-
ipal water supply for Vallejo. Their
nets were filled almost entirely with
the rare game perch. More than
1000 averaging from three to four
pounds each were removed to iced
tanks and transplanted in their
exclusive quarters.

No Duck Hunting Next Fall Looms
As Heads Confer

Seriousness of the migratory wat
erfowl situation resulting from two
years of drought conditions on the
most important breeding areas is
being reflected in a series of offic-
ial conferences which may further
greatly restrict and possibly close
the coming waterfowl hunting sea-
son.
"1t may be desirable to take
stringent action in both Canada and
the United States" Commissioner
J. B. Harkin, of the National Parks
of Canada has informed Seth Cor
don, president of the American
Game Association, following a
conference in his office at Ottawa
with Canadian game officials and
w. C. Henderson, assistant chief
of the United States Biological
Survey.
Returns from observers indicate
conditions to be very poor for the
breeding Of waterfowl in southwest
ern Manitoba, the southern third
of Saskatchewan and southern AL
berta," he reported. These areas
are known to be among the best
and largest nesting grounds. This
is the second consecutive season in
which the marshes have dried up
and destroyed large percentage Of
the waterfowl crop.
Game officials of North and South
Dakota, Minnesota and Montana
states containing the largest nesting
areas in the United States-and of
Manitoba, Canada, in conference at
Bismark, N. D., on July 18, passed
a resolution which has just been
announced, after a similar meeting
of the game heads of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta agreed
with it's recommendations. The
latter meeting was held at Edmon-
ton, Alberta.
This resolution urges that the
open season for migratory water
fowl be restricted to a continuous
period of 80 days; that the daily
bag limit be restricted to ten birds
per hunter; that the possession
limit be restricted to 20 birds per
hunter, and that the batting
grounds be prohibited.

already been made two weeks short

Spoiled Children Vex Woodland
Mothers Too

Mothers may find defense in the
fact that human children are not
the only modern offspring that are
spoiled, says bulletin of the
American Game Association.
Many bird, animal and fish
youngsters are killed every year
because they fail to mind" their
mothers and overstep the greatly
narrowed margin Of safety left
them today, the association AYERS,
naming vacationists, nature stu
dents and outdoor photographers
as big factors in this "ruination of
the younger generation"
Deer mothers can't seem to i'm
press their children any more, so
several states have made it unlaw-
full for persons to pick up straying
and too trustful fawns. Young
ground birds often run across the
road against their mothers wishes
and bring death upon themselves
and often their frantic mothers.
Young birds when once removed
from their nests even for moment
| and given a taste of freedom" will
| not remain in the nest afterwards
Young game fish after being hatch
ed under their parents careful pro-
lection are supposed to remain
close to the parental nest for at
least few days. but too often pre-
fer to run away in search of adven-
ture. They find it, and become

Increasing Interest in Farm Lands
Despite the nationwide depres-
sion inquiries for farm lands have
held up well according to H. c.
Hotaling, secretary of the Ten
Thousand Lakes-Greater Minnesota
Association. Z
This year ALA inquiries have
been received through the mails at
the oficice of the Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Assertion for
information concerning Minnesota
farms. Last year at this time A.
1872 inquiries had been received,
which represented SO more than
1881 or loss for this year Of less
than one percent.
The farm inquiries have been
developed by the Association thru
an advertising cmpaign in several
farm publications of nationwide
circulation as well as practically all
of the leading farm journals Of
the Mississippi Valley. NewsHa-
pers have also been used extern
sively in carrying the message of
Minnesota's advantages as an ag-
ricultural state.
Mr.. Hotaling believes that there
is an increasing interest in farm
lands and when financial and ag-
ricultural conditions become better
immigration to Minnesota will be
on the increase. Speaking in this
connection he said: I'm my opinion
there never has been a time when
Minnesota lands could be bought as
advantageously as they can now.
Prices are at rock bottom and when
conditions improve they will go up.
There are lot of city people who
would move out on farms right now
If they could make a down-pay-
ment. Some Of them moved to the
city from the farms few years
ago. When they can get the money
together they will go back to the
farm"
Inquiries concerning vacations
have also held up fairly well and
up to August more than 12,GG0 let
tiers had been received headquarters
offices asking for information con-
corning resorts and places to spend
vacations in Minnesota.
