PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED Own Tour Own Home Campaign Crrat Success From Every Stand point and Is Natlon-Wide. BT PACL C MCRPHT. ( President Portland Realty Board. The convention of the National Asso ciation of Real Estate boards held at Atlantic City was unusually interest ing: this year on account of the great Amount of work done by our associa tion for the government during the war period. The programme of tha convention was participated In by a number of the prominent realtors having charge or government work at Washington. Irv ing B. Macomber. vice-president of the housing corporation, took up the sub ject of "Does real estate pay an ade quate return? If not, how can realtors help the situation?" Ir. Macomber.

His address was unusu ally interesting as he compared Dous ing conditions in Europe with those in America. There were many other Interesting 'discussions by prominent realtors on the national situation. The entertainment furnished by the Atlantic City board was unusually at tractive. Fred -Taylor, your executive commit tceman. and myself attended the ban quet given by the Los Angeles Doara In honor of President Garland, which iris attended by 42 prominent members and past presidents of the association. This was a very brilliant affair. Mr. Taylor is regarded as one of the big men of the national association ana has made a great many friends among the past presidents and prominent members. He was placed on the nomi nating committee that elected Mr. "Weaver of Washington city president cf the association for this year. Home t'ampala-a Grrat Samea. The national own your home cam pmcn has been a great succena from very standpoint. Cner 2n0 cities have Tut on nmpiicn and 1563 cities have hernma, interested to the extent of Itllk ina- Innuirlrs fr organising local umiiiiitii. The cities that have ready Dtit on campaigns include the largest cities and represent make a gradual decline. Later when returned to Washington in March their Impression had changed and they were looking for the then price to remain for some time. I found the same men of a slightly different opinion when in Philadelphia on this trip. The general impression la that prices In a great many of the building material com' modifies will go higher. A questionnaire was sent oat by the National Federation of Construction In dustries to 1400 leading manufacturers of building material asking for their opinion on the price level. Ninety-three per cent stated that they believed the present price would be maintained or go higher. I will give you a few very brief reasons for this viewpoint. Prior to the world war we were re ceiving In exchange for our exports commodities manufactured in Europe consequently our supply of commodities kept ud to a normal supdIv. Since tne world war started the demand for our commodities increased tremen dously and instead of receiving com modities in payment we received money and credit. Naturally this has created a shortage of commodities in this coun try as well as raw materials, and as long as we continue to receive money or I. O. U.'s. in lieu of commodities for our exports our commodities become scarcer and therefore, prices will have a tend ency to become higher. Shortage of La bar 1m Europe. There Is, on account of the war, a great shortage of labor in Europe. That shortage reflects in our country be- DEED TO Ml WIFE EXPLAINED Estate by the Entirety Is the Technical Designation. COURT DECISIONS CITED Property Held Equally by Wife and Husband and In Event of Death the Survivor Gets All. BT W. B. SHTVELT. Chairman legal committee Portland Realty Board. What Is the effect of a deed con veying real esate to a husband and wife? A deed to a husband and wife, creates what - is technically known as an CHIEF OFFICERS OF PORTLAND'S NEW SYRUP MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY. M Til. ' J f J sw V r 1 i . V, f 4 VB-sJ mm. BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB1BBBBBBBaBBBBBBBBVBI erty to be made. In this case the court was requested to pass upon the question whether or not the interest of the wife, while the husband was still living, was subject to attachment or to the lien of an execution. The court, however, refused to pass upon this question saying: its decision on that point was unnecessary. The question has arisen as to what happens to an estate by the entirety where the husband t and wife are divorced. This problem is settled in Oregon by ,the case of Hayes vs. Horton s ore. 637. 51 Pac. 386, where it was held that a decree of divorce which severs the unity of husband and wife, likewi&e severs the unity of the estate by the entirety, leaving- the parties as "tenants in common," that is, each owning an undivided one-half of the property in fee simple. The court reacted this conclusion by the following- reasoning: "At common law, husband and wife were regarded as one person, and conveyance to them, by name was in effect a conveyance to a single per son. By such a conveyance two real persons took the whole of the estate between them, and each was seied of the whole, and not of any undivided portion. When the unity was destroyed by death, the survivor took the whole of the estate, because he or she had always been seised of the whole there of, and the other had no interest which was devisable. But. when the unity is destroyed by a decree of divorce, leaving both spouses surviving, the only logical conclusion is that they thereafter become tenants in common of the property, because there are two living persons in whom the title rests." Such, briefly, are a few of the in cidents in connection with an estate by the entirety. It has some advantages and some disadvantages. To create such an estate, it is necessary merely to cause real property to be conveyed ; to a man and a woman who at the time are husband and wife. It is not neces sary that they be named in the deed as husband and wife. Oliver vs. Wright 47 Ore. 322, 325, 83 Pac. S70. Whether or not it is advisable to create such an estate is a question only to be de cided by a consideration of individual cases and the objects sought to be attained.

A distinct home Industry has Just been established by Conner & Co., a new Portland syrup manufacturing: concern born ol the reconstruction period an entering the field with a programme calling; for the production of a half million dollars" worth of syrups, molasses and honeys during the first year. Conner & Co., capit&lixed at J90.000, has leased the old Acme planing mill property, 100 by 100 feet at Macadam and Curry streets, and the building is being converted into a high-class, sanitary syrup manufacturing plant, the largest of the character in the northwest.

Our publicity department has circulated ar- t:i-le on the merits of the movement to lt.IAS newspapers throughout the country and to 168 building trade mag azines, many of the latter class being sunnhed tth specially illustrated ar ticles. Hart Atteatloa Attracted. The movement has attracted some of the biggest financial, political and edu cational men of the country who have written a vast amount of material on the subject. In conducting the nation wide own your home campaign we divided the country Into 10 districts. In each of these districts we appointed a regional director. hose function was to co-operate mith the government in having wn your home campaigns started. All these 10 directors appointed were realtors. This proved to be a wonder ful success as it brought our govern ment in Washington In touch with each fcltNtrtrt throughout the country. I will give you a brief outline of what was acompIished by one of our directors. Mr. Putnam, which in a xcasur applies to them all. Mr. Putnam represented Louisiana. 3ntucky. Tennessee. Alabama. Missis sippi. Oklahoma and Arkansas. He was successful In getting the gover nors of all these states to issue special proclamations setting aside an own your home day in each state. He ar ranged for meetings in various capital cities where appropriate programmes wrre carried cut and the meetings were attend'd by a very large number of people. Some of them running as high as four and five thou5and in num ber. Oitsmalf Faame) Dee-reaalag. Ve had a statistician gather statis tics relative to the iacrea.-e or decrease of people who owned their own homes In the I'ni'ed States during the past S' years. We found that home owner ship has been decreasing In this coun try at the rate of 3 per cent for each in-year period. In France but 10 per cent of the people lived in rented prop erties. In this country in 18?0 SS per cent lived In rented homes. In 1910 t'j per cent, and at the present time probably about 5S per cent- This menace towards tenantry if extended Ir a most ominous sign of coming dis t!tr. If today but - per cent of tha people live In their own homes, with the same Increase -t years hence but 3S per cent do so. So you can readily see that the landlord class is increasing and the ome owning class is decreasing. A very dangerous situation, and if con tinued will, in my opinion, bring on a:ng!e tax or some other form of con fiscation In real 'estate. 1 firmly be lieve that a wider distribution of real estate is esaentlal to our national well hetng. France would never have stood the enormous abuse of the war as long aa she did if each individual had not been fighting for his own. home. Higher Price Ciseetrt. On of the big problems Lat Is con fronting the prospective bii1ler In the cast, as well aa In this locality, ta the iement of doubt over the possible re duction In price of labor and building rnaierials. When jn the east last Janu pry the grneral impression, among the larger manufacturers of building ma larial waa Uiax yrlc would continue to so great that it is hard to estimate with any degree of accuracy the volume, an 1 look for a higher price In lumbe instead of a reduction. My advice to anyone contemplating building a'home is to build now. as It win certainly oe some years before there will be an ap preclable reduction in the cost of con structton. Faaterm Real Estate Advaadng. I wish to impress upon you the im portance of famlllarlxing yourselves with the real estate situation as It ex lets today throughout the east. The rea estate market since the Ilrst ol tne yea has improved wonderfully all through the eastern section or tnis country anu Is bound to reflect out ia the north west during the coming fall. If the brokers as well as the property owners will become familiar with the business conditions of the east they will realize that the value of everything is on new high price level and will remain so for tome years to come. In this country the value or every. thing has advanced except vacant prop erty. Anyone today ottering meir prop erty for sale at the same price it was worth In 1917 la making a great mis take, as a dollar today will only pur chase about one-half the comodlties it would in 1917. therefore, one snouia re ceive twice as much today lor property aa asked two years ago. WALLOWA LA'D SELLS HIGH 9 j S -Acre Ranch on ITain creek Purchased for $117,000. ENTERPRISE. Or, July 12. (Spe ctaj.) The largest sale of farm land in the history of Wallowa county was made this week when J. N. Roberts sold his 95L'-acro ranch on Prairie creek to H. B. Pavldhtiar for $117,000. Mr. Rob erts bought the place tw-o years ago of C. P. Ragsdale for 7S.000. By his new purchase. Mr. Davidhixar becomes the owner of about 2000 acres of irrigated farm land on Prairie creek. He also has 400 acres of non-irrigated hill land. Mr. Dsvidhlaar'8 experience confirms his belief tn farm land values. He came to Wallowa county from Union county in the fall of 1909 and bought the Ola Miller farm, paying $6000 for 520 acres of land and SO head of cattle. Land which then sold for about $11 an acre la now held at considerably more than $100 an acre. KELSO HAS BCILDIXG BOOM More Construction Now fnder Waj Than for Several Years. KEXSO. Wash.. July 12. (Special) Kelso this summer has more construc tion work under way and in prospect than for several years past. The Kalso Feed & Fuel company has Just started construction of a new warehouse, SO by 60 feet, adjoining its present ware house. F. L. Stewart is building an addition to the Ha I bom Stridell re pair shop, and the Kelso Cheese factory has completed rebuilding an old struc ture for its cheese plant. Material Is on the ground for the new brick sub-station, which the North Coast Power company Is building. E. XL Adams is tearing down an old build ing faring Front street at the rear of his hardware store, where he will erect a fireproof structure. A number of new ttouaca are bcina; huill, . . , "estste by the entirety." Chase vs. Me Kenxie 81 Ore. 429, 159 Pac 102S. Where a deed is made to a man wh subsequently and while still owning the property, dies leaving a widow the property passes on to the man heirs subject to the widow's dowe and the claims of creditors. The only Interest of the widow in the property is that of dower which now consist In the use of. or the rents from, one half of the property for the remalnde of the widow's life. It Is necessary to probate such an estate, have an execu tor or administrator appointed, publish a notice to the creditors of the de ceased owner, pay his debts, if any, and the expenses of administration, the balance of the property going to the heirs as above stated. Peculiar Feature Foisted Out Where, however, the deed is made to a husband and wife, an "estate by the entirety" comes into existence. The husband and wife are regarded in law as a single person. As has been said. "As between husband and wife, there Is but one owner, and that Is neither the one nor the other but both together. The estate belongs as well to the wife i to the husband. One peculiar feature of such an estate the "right of survivorship," that is, if one spouse dies, the one surviving takes the whole property freed from 11 claims of the heirs and creditors of the deceased spouse. Probate proceed ings concerning that particular prop erty are unnecessary. There Is neither dower nor curtesy in such an estate, for the surviving Bpouse has all the property and all the income therefrom. Any prior attempt on the part of the deceased epoua to devise the property by will, will prove fruitless. The heirs of the deceased have no claim against the property, for the law recognizes no right of Inheritance in such an estate. The surviving spouse owns the whole property in fee simple which he or she may thereafter convey or devise at will. Oliver vs. Wright 47 One. 326, 83 Pac. 870. Mortgage Held Valid. In the case of Howell vs. Folsom 38 Ore. 184. S3 Pac. 116. the facts were that a deed had been made to a hus band and wife. The latter, while her husband was still living. xecuted a mortgage on the property, in which her husband did not Join. The hus band afterward died. Subsequently the party holding the mortgage, brought suit to foreclose the same. The widow resisted the suit contending that the mortgage was void from the begin ning because the hu&band had not Joined in Its execution. In rendering its decision the court said: It is often said in judicial opinions that at common law, under a convey ance of real property to husband and wife, both are seised of the entirety, and neither can alienate or dispose of any part of the estate without the consent of the other. It is believed. however, this means that 'one cannot sever the interest or make any dis position of the estate so as to affect the right of survivorship." " The court thereupon held that the wife could place a mortgage upon the property even without her husbands consent, but that such a mortgage was of no effect as Against the husband nd that if she had died before her husband, he would have become the wner of the whole property, free from the lien of his wife's mortgage, but ince the husband had died first she ad become the sole owner of the real estate and that the mortgage was bind ing upon her and a lien against the entire property. Sale for Debt Authorised. And. in the case of Olivwr vs. Wright 7 Ore. 32, 83 Pac. 870, property had been conveyed to a husband and wife. While both were still living the prop- rty was attached for a debt of the wife. A Judgment waa obtained against er and the property waa ordered sold. No sale was made, however, at that time. Subsequently the husband died nd the wife became the owner of the whole estate, whereupon the supreme court auihorucd -sale o tne prog? Crops Stand From Fonr to SLx Feet and Are Greatly Refreshened by Rains. OREGON- CITY. Or.. July 10. (Spe cial.) Tho grain yield of Clackamas county for 1919 is to be larger than for many years, and the farmers, who have planted much of their land this year to oats, wheat and other grain, are optimistic over the outlook for a large harvest. The grain stands from four to six feet, while in some locali ties it has attained a height of six and one-half feet and is still growing. The recent rain was a great benefit to the crops and assisted in developing the oats, also. Land that was planted to potatoes and other crops last year are being used for grain. Among the farmers of Clackamas county expecting large yields this year are T. O. Ridings, of Molalla. Mr. Ridings is planning on harvesting 3000 bushels of grain. His grain is now over six feet high. County Assessor W. w. Everhart, whose farm is at Molalla, is looking forward to harvesting a bumper crop from his land this year. He has S5 acres in grain. He has rented 62 acres, a large part of which he has planted to grain. In the Stafford country the farmers have devoted much of their attentio to growing grain and hay this year. There was a shortage of both las fall, and a large portion of the land growing its first crop this year. 315 315 335 335 335 345 355 395 395 395 395 415 435 465 465 2-1918-MODEL GRAND PIANOS I Steger...$1050 9765 ISteger.... 1300 8 45 40-1919 MODELS 100 New Pianos at 25 lower than local market prices. 6 Sch'r Bros.$375 $J281 6 Davis&Sons425 uavisESons460 3 Thompson. 475 9 Thompson. 500 7 Thompson. 550 i ainger. . . . 560 1 Reed&Sons 625 1 Reed&Sons 650 1 Steger . 650 3 Steger 750 (15 356 375 395 412 465 487 487 562 17-1919 MODELS PLAYER PIANOS 2 Artemie...$650 8485 TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING T7SED PIATEB PIANOS $750 Thompson. .8465 900 Singer 950 Steger 495 595 $8S0 Player Piano 84S5 25 Cash; 814 Monthly This 181S Model $475 Piano for (356 825 Caaht Sll Monthly Big Buying Works Both Ways for You and for Us Following up our purchase of 15 carloads 300 1917 and 191 S Model Piano and Plvr THann .nM jr( t ..i.. comes our new purchase of 12 more carloads 250 Pianos and Player Pianos, therefore, we must close out the remaining scock as per tne following inventory, and for that purpose are making prices and terms that will sell them now before arrival of new purchase Buy now, prices are going higher.

Let me Gay a iew words more on that subject before dis cussing others. Beans are one or tne most valuable vegetable foods, as they contain a large percentage of carbo hydrates and more protein than most other vegetable foods (protein is the costly tissue-building food element that makes milk and eggs and meat so valuable), so raise more Deans.

Planted now, or any rime ni month, this vegetable will grow steaa ily through even the hottest of weather and form a fine nrm neaa, wnose noun blanches to a beautiful creamy-white color, and is as tender and delicate as the finest celery. It Is delicious euner raw or cooked, and boils without odor. The giant radish from japan oaa nralima can now be planted lor win ter use. It requires a long time to erow. vet it is as tender, crisp and dell mix as our auick-growing varieties. It is so large that one raaisn win make several meals, and the climate of Oregon seems peculiarly aaaptea to it. Knmner Crona In Cold Frames. Some use should be made of the mntv hot beds or cold frames which e built last year ana tnis year, uu hich are now standing empty. Last vear we advised growing sum mer lettuce and radishes in the cold frame, rolling down the cloth curtain in the afternoon to shade the plants from the hottest sunshine lor a lew hm,n hut rolling it up again by 6 o'clock, and watering well. This may be done this year or other crops may be raised. The soil in the frame is rich and heavily manured, so it will produce a luxuriant growth of any vegetable. One of the best summer crops to grow in frames is celery of the pre viously recommended varieties. Spac ing 6x8 inches apart over 200 plants can be set in a 6xl2-foot bed, which is more, celery than the average family eats in a year. The celery should be well watered and its density and the sides of the box blanch it. In the fall it may be blanched and stored for win ter use by simply keeping the cloth cover down. Other vegetables that will succeed when set in frames are egg plants, pep per and bush squash. Three or four plants of each may be set in the frame in the spring after the tomatoes and other plants are set outdoors. These few plants will produce nearly enough fruit to satisfy the demand of the aver age family for these particular vege tables. Onions and sweet com with pole i beans will also grow plselj; ia tbe old, either the spring or fall garden, and one thing I do want to advise most emphatically that is. do not try to plant anything now unless you plan to take good care of it. Or plant just what you can take care of and no more. A summer garden must be watered occasionally and it must be cultivated no matter how hot tne weatner is nor how much you want to go for a ride so ."look before you leap, and don t waste time planting more than you will care for. ' Also, unless you can manure your ground or are able to use plenty of good commercial fertilizer on it. do not try to make it produce two crops year; one crop a year uses up the nat ural soil fertility. Let us now consider what to do with idle land after you have removed your spring vegetables and do not wish to put m another crop of vegetables in their place. What to Do With Idle Land. Idle land is never really Idle; it Is growing weeds which leave their, seeds in the soil for next year, It is breeding insects' of all kinds or worse yet, it baking in. the hot sun and losing its moisture and fertility. To prevent any of these things and to Immensely im prove your land for next year's crops. you should now plant what is called a 'cover croD. This is some kind of a grass or grain or clover crop which is sown broad cast on all your empty garden beds. for the Durpose of keeping out weeds and bugs, shading the ground from the sun and above all furnishing a "green manure" when you plow it under next spring. This green manure, or numus, is ex ceedingly valuable. In heavy clay soil it seoarates the fine soil particles ana makes the soil loose and porous so that it will hold water like a sponge. In sandy soil it binds the soil together so that the moisture does not run rignt through It like a seive, and so makes t canable of holding moisture also; so t is exceedingly valuable for any and all soils. This is the reason why the fertility of the earth is not exhausted after all these thousands and thousands of years of plant growth. Just as soon as a piece of ground is left vacant old mother nature goes right to work im proving it with a cover crop of grass or weeds, and enriching it with de caying leaves and plants, and animal manure. Many old new cnEiano farms, which were run out and aban doned as worthless have been built up by nature until it has been discovered with great surprise that they are now as fertile as ever. What Cover Crops to Plant, AH growth of green vegetation an swers as a cover crop, grass and many weeds just as well as other specially planted crops. This is the reason why od land Is so gooa lor growing pota toes and other crops. The main reason why we do not wish grass and weeds to cover our vacant garden beds is because of their seeds w&ici will be Bucli a nuisance tu us lu forming a mass of weeds in our plant beds next spring. We may much bet ter get ahead of them and plant the crop we wish to have on our ground. Cover crops areof two kinds, those taking free nitrogen from the air (clo ver, -etch, etc.) and those using only the nitrogen already in the soil. Ryo and oats are of this latter kind. Either may be sown now and will furnish humus in the spring when plowed un der, helping the soil hold water like a sponge. But, in addition to this moisture holding quality, the legumes also fur nish the most valuable element of plant growth nitrogen. You will remember that nitrogen is never a mineral ele ment found in the soil like phosphorus potash and other necessary plant foods, but nitrogen comes only from the air, and it is only taken from the air by a certain class of plants called legumes, to which peas, beans, clover, vetch, soy beans and other plants of this nature belong. These plants store up nitrogen by the bacteria which grow on their roots, and when they decay they leave it available for other plants. There fore, let us plan,t some kind of legume as our cover crop, that it may enrh-.h the soil as well as render it spongelike. How to Plant the Cover Crop. Generally, for our local needs, vetch is probably best to plant. The seed can be planted on tne potato ground or after any cultivated crop without plow ing the ground. Simply use the culti vator on a- large piece of ground or the garden rake on a vegetable plat, to work it into the surface soil. The bed should be hoed over and the soil loosened if it is hard and compact: then sow the seed broadcast, by scat tering It from your hand over all the surface of the ground as evenly as you can; then go over it with the garden rake and rake it in. Your seedsman will tell you how much you should use for the sized plot you wish to cover. Sixty to 100 pounds are sown per acre usually of the com mon or black vetch, which is the kind of vetch you should plant here, as it is the best for our valley conditions. It is what is sometimes called spring vetch, .but it lives over under our con ditions, and is a good crop to grow. The winter or hairy vetch does not grow as rapidly and so is not as good a crop to grow. This cover crop can be planted now on the ground where you grew your early peas or potatoes, or later, just as fast as you remove a crop and the land is Idle. The seed will lie in the soil and the first rains in the fall will bring it up thick and green. By the spring plowing you will have a fine, heavy crop to plow under for a large area. Soy beans or clover are often used as a cover crop; also other legumes. Next week we will discuss the sum mer cultivation of vegetables. ' Your garden neighbor.
