1: RmA tlook BalMOtt PmI^ Mus.. Not. 1.—Tho •tock niorkot is not tke only thine that has had a bomp daring tho past two months. I hi^psn to be Tice president of.the Newtoa-Wal- tham Bank Jb Tn&t Oorapaay with assets of |dS,000,0M. Natorally, we take a large number of mortgages. «Jast before lesTlai on my Western trip, it looked to me as if the edge is oft the real estate market here in the E^t CONOmONt IN THl MIDDLE WEST Hence, oh my Western trip 1 con> suntly inquired rsgardlng real es tate and fonnd that all cities Tisit- ed told atent the same story. Brief* ly, this is that the demand contin ues for small houses selling from $8,000 to $12,000; but that the de mand for larger bouses, eren new ones, has fallen off considerably. Real estate agents tell me that property that has been selling for $15,000 or over is now being mark ed down at least 20 percent. This applies to (dder fairly modem hous es and also to new houses. Large houses are actually a drug on the market at the present time in some sections of the ooun^. Veterans are gradually getting located. Ru mors are abundant that new houses are being built of green wood, with few nails and poor fixtures, which cause the purchasers to be wary of thent WHAT ABOUT CEILINQ87 Sooner or later the cost of living will again decline. If labor plays fairly, it will be willing to take a cut In wages, as living costs de cline. to offset the increased wages which it has been given as living costs have increased. But whether IS YOUR LIVER ilXnilG FOR REU> lueaam of ooostlpatlon or faulty m- flsstioof If you feel bilious, sour, Beatadl with ga^ headachy, blue^ too b^ led uh- putrefactlvn which orerload the , -j from working prop* , Thaa is the time to relieve youi Rrer by letting Oidotabs helj sweep the putrefactive ant ested matter from yom L Intestines.

Tbie will apply to all wage workers beginning with tboee who ent the trees in the woods for ^e lamber. Hence, thoee who can wait before buying a new boose, ehonld surely do BO. The present $10,000 ceiling is not helping. Now, a word regarding rent ceil ings. It may be wiae to continue rent ceilings on prewar houses si though they should be adjusted to provide for Uw increased cost of upkeep, etc. But ^ there should be no rent ceilings on new houses built for renting. Otherwise, very few houses will be built to rent and tha nation will suffer. FARM INVESTMENT The subsistence farm which pro duces only enough to feed the fam ily, pay taxes and hire a man, but where the owner has a position or business on the outside, is bolding firm in price. ^Is is especially true In the case' of property within a mile or two of a church, stores, post office, schools, etc. Real es tate people are looking up such property with the idea of cutting it up Into a subdivision of five or ten acres. While on my trip, I purchased two 160-acre farms. Both of these I can rent at a figure to pay taxes and give me 4 percent on my In vestment. This is good enough these days with the security which a good farm offers. In one instance, the farm was within walking dis tance of a city of 6,000 population. I consider this a safe investment considering the excellent soil, drain age and location on a bus line. FARMING STATES During this trip I found an in stinctive desire of farmers to want to move in a southerly direction. Farmers in Minnesota are selling and buying farms in Kansas Iowa and Missouri; while farmers in these Central States are selling and buying farms in Oklahoma, Texas and perhaps Kentucky. Although the general movement during the past fifty years has been westward, I think It is now direct ed southward, although, of course, Callfornja is the looked-for heaven of most farm housewives. For re- lirnd farmers, Florida should not be forgotten; but from an agricul tural point of view it la very hard to induce a Midwest farmer to swap alx feet of black loam for Florida sand even though Florida has the finest climate In the world!
