Any man who can see ahead for a few years—even
dimly—can make a real estate investment of a few
hundred dollars, the basis of a snug competency.
The investment should be made widely, under honest
advice—and, of course, should not be delayed.

Appreciation of Land Continuing
The fact is that the American peo-
ple, at least, are learning that there
is more value in land than they
thought. Great fortunes have been
made in what are general called in- j jn which the author enters Into a dis-
dustrial lines. The ambition of the
young men runs toward factories,and
the rarest figures are more represen-
tative of current conditions, it is ev-
ident that the mercantile death rate 1 peopIe are learnlns thls fart that
trade, and commerce. But it is be-
ing demonstrated now that the saf-
est and surest thing Is a farm. There
is real prosperity coming direct from
the farms. Men who farm rightly
do make money in agriculture. There
is science In farming and where this
science is applied with industry the
results are good. It is because the
, is diminishing, and the outlook for
I the future brightens as business con-
ditions become more healthful —

PROSPERITY CAUSE OF DEMAND.
Interest in Land Is Closely Associated
With Condition of Financial Af-
fairs—Problem Solved. ~
Presperity brings a demand for
more land. It may also be said that
as the more land is taken and rightly j many who have lived
there is a greater demand for land.
The town and the city people are turn
Ing to land as a means of making a
living.
T*ere is also some tendency to go
back to the farms for health and com
fort. City life is hard on many per-
sons. It is not worth while to wear
out this life in the hurry and bustle
of a struggle for existence where com
petition Is fierce. The simple life of
the farms Is better, because it lasts
longer. The result is that a good
great while

used the greater the prosperity. At
any rate the two things are asso-
ciated.
For a number of years, In the Uni-
ted States at leastv the demand for
land has been growing. The ten-
! dency is back to the farms. The old
; abandoned farms which have been
| worn out by the misuse of indiffer-
I ent farmers are being taken up again
; after a period of rest. Their fertility
has been partially restored by nature
j and may be further restored by fol-
| lowing the principles which are now
j becoming generally known. The new
in the cities are going to the farms
to secure the ideal life. This makes
a strong demand for land.
In every way there is a better ap-
preciation of the value of farm land.
It is known that the productive capa-
city of American land Is more than
that which Is set down in books as
averages. The application of knowl-
edge to the subject makes it certain
that good profits will follow. This
putting aside of old machinery and
adoption of the new adds to the cer-
tainty of success.

eussion of the transcendental ele-
ment in various phases of life.

iences as "A Lord of Lands," which
Is a tale, professedly accurate of a

to the day's outpouring is "Hero and

Schutze, of the University of Chica-
go. gives a dramatic rendering of the
old love story of the Hellespont,

Land Values Have Risen Steadily.
More significant than this is the
fact that the selling price of land has
risen steadily for a decade. It is
stated on pretty good authority that
the market value of farm laMs*-!* the
best States in the Union has Increas-
ed from 20 to 25 per cent In the past
six or seven years. In the same per-
iod the population of the United Sta-
tes has increased about 10 per cent
and the amount of money actually In
circulation has increased about 33
per cent.
Of course no matter what might
have been the Increased demand for
land, and the greater appreciation of
its actual value, there could have
been no very rapid Increase of Its
selling price without the more rapid
increase of money than of population
But, on the other hand, no matter
bow much money might have been ad-
ded to the stock available for com-
mercial uses, there would have been
no such great Increase In tjrt selling
price of land but for the fact that the
people know It la worth something.
Without desiring to enter upon any
discussion of the cause of the In-
crease In the selling price of land,
this fact will be recognised by all,
that there is aad has b«ea tor a num-
ber of jrean a steady Increase la this

Many New Books.
This twenty-ninth of August, 1908,
is an important one for the book
trade of New York Ov9f..,« wore of
nfw books were placed on sale today,
nearly every important publiahing
house adding its share to the liter-
ary output of the day. Perhaps the
most important of the works of Ac-
tion is a new novel by F. Hopklnson
Smith, bearing the title "Peter—a
Novel of Which He Is Not the Hero."
The nstead-of-a-hero Is an old school
banker, and his excursions into Bo-
hemia form the subject of a very en-
tertaining volume.
Another work of fiction published
today is Aedllne Knapp's "The Well
In the Desert." The central charac-
ter Is a cowboy who Immures himself
In an Arizona desert, where for a
time he lives the life of a hermit.
His return to civilization Is follow-
ed by many exciting Incidents, among
them a lynchlng-bee, which Is graphi-
cally described. While tolerably
amusing neither of the works Is liable
to cause a conflagration.
