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

There is something inviting iu the
coziuesa and serenity of the Knglish
cottage. t U designed first of all
for comfort and the plan ends in mak
ing itself picturesque.
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.
The plan provides for 3015 square
feet of floor space.

LUMBERMEN REPLY
FOKTLAN 1 , Ore., l-'eh. 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

f 0V long should marriage last?
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.

She wonders if she couldn't have t
done better, perhaps, than to have;

Of eoitrse. she couldn't have . . .
for she was in love with l.alelj -Wed j

probably. Only she dnjn't kuov it.
A wife in this state of mind once
went to Count l.eo ToUtoi. the grefit

"S.tny with your husband." Tolstoi
(old lu r, "then ha been happiness
iu marriaire for you ... so then will j

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

She wants her husband (o be

cure) tho most bored wives if they
could take a look into their husbaud'a

They would probably find that a
sort of ltussian revolution is going on
there ... as well as in their own
minds.
