Eugene ronl cstnte men, through their ppokesinan, John G. "Williams, 1-reiident ot the real estate board, de clare they feel a little closer to Will iam I'enn than the men of the other professions because they are led to believe that the founder of the coun try's first renl estate man. The real ostnto men do not need to be modest in laying claim to a first place m the line of allegiance nor is it necessary to be different at all in crowning William Penn a realtor. For that is what he was a promoter of & big In ml deal find the seller of lota and blocks and farms and all manner of raw material resources to ill comers. Not only so but Fenn was a most iccomplished advertiser of hi over alls boom. His letters and pamph lets talking up his sylvan concessions iixl persuasively inventorying the ad vantages to be found there wero pop ular all over Kngland and are now preaerved as classics. It is a (treat mistake to read back into the life of Willinm I'enn so much of unworld iioeis, of devout dream and vision ns to secure the very sound material istic basis of bis undertaking. I'enn called the hardy men and wo men who answered his advertisement?; "adventurers." The word nu.fl all through his pamphlets and charters tbe letters he wrote. The modern realtor is entitled to take a good many leflvps out of Venn's book. Hut, in tfmple justice to the great Realtor, kemiist also study some of (he leaves that are too little considered In our time. He was a seller of those things hioh alone make land worth while. He advertised to cell liberty with hi land, tn sell escape from Old florid despotism, to sell new oppor tunities for the souls of mnn. In fnct, 'I was the intangibles that mnd his plti md lots in the wilderness of Wrirs salable. Fenn wna the ideal IlMltor because he mode the new '"id the, mere outward condition of this richtg snd liberties without kM land in Feunsylvania today nuH not be worth much more than as when Willinm Fenn was eell 1DI it at twopence an acre.

The exterior of this five-room house is finished iu stucco with trim mings of a deeper shade- Stripes o the awning and the red hri.-k on the terrace offer vivid bits of color. Interior arrangement is iu keeping with the delightful exterior. The liv ing and dining rooms, serrated by a plastered arch, tire located at the front of the house. Hoth these rooms are large and well lighted with window space. The wide fireplace gives ttkaraaer in the living room and, if the builder pre fers, French doors may be used in Hen of the arehwuy to the diuiug rcoin. The central halt ii a rtal conven ience in the house. The two bed rooms are largo and provided with cross ventilation. Each is equipped with a spacious closi. The kitchen is planned to save steps for the housewife and is admir ably situated in relatio.i to 'he other rooms. The stairway Iead;ng from the kitchen to the full cedent base ment is directly under ;hc a'airs from the hall to the attic. There is amplo room in the attic for one largo room, with .iouble win dews at either end. TrutiK rooms and closets opening from this loom may easily be arranged.

J8. l.um bernun here associated with tlie Wes tern Pine .Mninifiicturers' association, explained that members of t ho asso ciation are now marketing their pro duct as "1'nndosa pine." the word be ing derived from its botanical nam I'ntil this name was adopted about j six mourns ago western yenow pine was generally known to the trade as white pine. "There has heen no attempt to foil anyone, " said George K. t'oruwMll of the Timherman. ''especially since the association adopted the new trade name. The fact that southern yellow pine is inferior, dark and reddish in color and well filled with pitch was the chief reason lumbermen here dis liked to call their products yellow pine. Western yellow pine more near ly resembles white pine than it does southern yellow pine," TLOot fun run floss. the local residence construction out look, recently. "There is. of course, always the danger of a boom, which is to be deplored, but it is my belief that .the public is getting wiser and using more care iu the purchase of home lites. "Women are shopping for homes and home sites as they shop for other necessities of their household, and a fewer number each year is persuad ed to buy until they have ample op portunity to look around and take competent advice. This, to my mind, is the greatest step forward to be reached." Apparently the - tide toward the city, . which was sweeping literally millions of farmers from rural com munities into tho urban centers, lias diminished in its force; only about one-third as many replies indicate a diminishing farm population, whereas last year reports were almost unan imous on this point, nrcording lo the report of the Notional Association of Jteally boards. The prime rcapon which moat of the reports give for t he decreasing farm population was found in the high wages offered in the cities. More than 40 per cent of the reports indicate this as the. first reason, over thirty per cent were in clined to believe that the fannr could not make a living nn the farm, while nearly MO per cent state that the reason impelling farmers to leave the farm is lo be found in the fact that they do not like farm life. The reverse side of the picture is given in the reports of t hV reasons for purchase. Nearly half of the pur chases reported were made for the purpose of occupying the farm as a home and a business, while a full SO per cent of the. purchases may he as cribed to other motives than spnnula tion. The proportion holds fairly evenlr in all section of the country except that in the Cireat Lakes re gion the proportion investing in the farm as a home and a business is considerably higher. Likewise on the. Pacific coast apparently speculation j is plnying a very smaJl part. j COSTS OF BUILDING Interesting data on die costs of erection of a modern six-room dwell ing have been prepared by the divi sion of building and housing of the inited Mates department of com merce.

Forever and ever? Or for a short term of years? The other duy a group of young English writers snid that five years is long enough for any tVo people to live together . . . that, they were sure to bo tired of each other hy that time. They were wrong, of eouroo. A lifetime is all too. short for two peo ple who really love each other, to be married. Itut, at that, there is something about the fifth year of marriage tlvat make it a nort of dniigrr f.onc. U is about that time lhat romance has received a knorkont bhw. The honeymoon has failed into the white da light of reality. Mrs. I.ately-Wed given her husbaud the once-over and begins to wotidei why be doesn't I'tok tho way I 'earl .

' She wonders if she couldn't have t done better, perhaps, than to have; mtirried as she did. Of eoitrse. she couldn't have . . . for she was in love with l.alelj -Wed j when sho married him. And ft ill is. probably. Only she dnjn't kuov it. A wife in this state of mind once went to Count l.eo ToUtoi. the grefit Russian, to nsk him if nbo uluuild J leave her hiis'uind. She said she no! longer loved him nt the end of f ive j years of married life . . . and she was in love with someone else, be sides! i "S.tny with your husband." Tolstoi (old lu r, "then ha been happiness iu marriaire for you ... so then will j he happiness again in it. Wait audi ser !' Whether the wife waited or not I don't know. I hope she did. It nt the advice that Tolstoi gave her was excellent counsel for any woman who has been looking over the matrimonial fence into fields thai look greener than her own. She will recover from the feeling of deadly dullnesi that several years of married life have given her . . . if only she waits! For women are like that . . . full of moods that pass, And every dissatisfied wife is not half as dissatisfied with her husband as she is with tbe things lie stands for . . . the dishwashing, the darning, tho everlasting bedmaking and dint ing. She wants the old thrill of court Khip and honeymoon days. She wants her husband (o be Prince Charming again, instead of the Tired Jiusiness Man he lias be come! . . . Women are incurably ro mantic. I think it would surprise (and cure) tho most bored wives if they could take a look into their husbaud'a minds. They would probably find that a sort of ltussian revolution is going on there ... as well as in their own minds. It would doubtless give them a ter rible jolt to know that Friend Hus band may In thinking; "Hero I am slaving day in and day out to support a home that isn't half so comfortable as Hill Kevorwed'a bachelor flat!
