No one who is looking for real estate in tkis city fails to read and consider the real estate ads. Scarcely a sale occurs that is not, in some way. promoted or brought about by a classified ad. Without the influence of the little ads, real estate transactions would be hard to bring about not because of any fault or flaw in the properties them- selves but because the search for the "right buyers' could not be quickly or effectively made.

It would be a slow process perhaps only occasionally successful. More real estate is transferred through the medium of Star classified advertisements than in any other manner. members of the sect propose now to erect a temple to the glory of the founder and prophet of the mystic faith which had its origin in far-away Persia.

It's no easy job which Uncle Sam finds his hands every ten years the taking of the census. In 190C when the last count of the people pi the country was made there was nc organized census office force to take up the work authorized by congress as there is now, and the census taking was complicated by the unpre-paredness of the government for the work. The permanent census bureau was established by congress after the count was made in 1900 and the census taking of 1910 will find an efficient force with modern equipment ready to cope with the gigantic work involved in gathering the census statistics. Congress at its coming session will be asked to appropriate a sum necessary to cover the expense of the work, something like $14,000,000. Of this seemingly large total, $1,500,000 is needed for the maintenance of the permanent census bureau and the remainder, or $12,500,000, will be set aside for the Thirteenth national cen Davenport, Iowa, and see what you in the way of saving money.

Although it is estimated that most "wonderful religious edifice in the United States rears its towering cupola proudly above the shores of Lake Michigan. The building of the temple by the Bahaists themesleves is not a necessary rite or demanded by any of the requirements of worship. But the object is two-fold, first the exchequer of the church in America is low, but most important it is a laBor of love and reverence, so that every stone and brick and girder will be hallowed by the personal sacrifice of the faithful. The money at hand and to be contributed will only purchase the material, and the followers of the martyred Babi will do the rest. The Bahaists in Chicago number about 1,000.

There are less than 5,000 in the United States, but the leaders declare the faith is spreading rapidly, it is an offshoot of Mahammedanism. essentially a system of pantheism, made up from gnostic, cabalistic and even Buddhistic sources. All individual existence, according to Bahaists, is an emanation from Supreme Deity and will all ultimately be absorbed nto the source whence it comes. The ground work of the faith is contained in the startling declaration that while it is impossible for the finite to comprehend the infinite, the Almighty can and has made a face whereby the children of earth can know and love him. In other words, that God assumed an earthly body and Know ye that H.

The Toulouse police have arrested a gang of swindlers, whose stock in trade was a beautiful old cabinet and considerable effrontery. With these they took on lease for the summer an old castle near Toulouse, and hired a venerable-looking old lady to act as its owner. They then found an amateur, took him to the castle and sold him the cabinet. Then they invited the victim to lunch, and while he was eating the meal the real cabinet was replaced by a perfect imitation, which eventually the victim carried off with him. The swindlers, before their arrest, succeeded in selling their cabinet 33 times at prices varying from $500 to $3,250.
