Prosperity for Nebraska Farmers is Believed Near . - u Omaha Is Good Produce Market, Price List Shows Mark Martin Optimistic for Future of Farmers of This Section—Gives Figures. Nebraska is not only a good place to live, but it is also a good place to farm. Omaha is not only a good place to live, but It is an exceptionally good place in which the farmer can sell his produce. That is tlie opinion of'Mark Martin, president of the Omaha Real Estate hoard. Martin has made a study of the marketing of farm products over a period of 10 years, and now declares that the prices that are being paid farmers are in keeping with the natural economic Increase caused by supply and demand. “It is not the farmer in general who is suffering today. It is the farm land speculator,’’ Martin said. “There are a few farmers, principally wheat farmers, who are In a bad way financially. But these men will pull out all right. Tariff Hike to Help. “A higher tariff on wheat has been promised, and that will solve their troubles. It Isn't that that bothers me—It Is the ‘professional hard tirners’ that come to me with cries of the farmers’ financial condition. These men say that 40 per cent of the farmer! of Nebraska are bankrupt. I deal In farm lands every day and I know that this is not true. There are not 6 per cent of them that are bankrupt. "I have obtained prices or rarm products over a period of 10 years. These are the prices in Omaha, and I think they show an exceptionally bright future." The prices that Martin had were obtained from the various markets here. They are: Wheat—No. 3*hnrii winter: ISIS. 83%® 84c; February, 1916, *1.0601.09; February, 1924. *1.0001,06. _ , Corn—No. 3 white; 1913, 45IAc: Feb ruary, 1916, 67c; February. 1924. i0V4® 71o. v Oate—No. 3 white: 1913. 31c: February, 1916, 4114c; February. 1924, 46Wc.

The estimated cost of the new temple Is $175,000, and the value of the property on which it la to be built is estimated at $100,000. The lot was purchased in 1918. The old Odd Fellows building st the northwest comer of Fourteenth and Dodge streets was erected at a cost of $27,000, In 1874, and was the first lodge building In the than young state.of Nebraska __ society were highly oompUmented by Martin. He declared that It waa one of the greatest things ever done for the state. "There is an erroneous opinion among some of the farmers that the entire plan Is simply to give a few men an opportunity to unload a large nunfber of expensive dairy cows on the farmers of Nebraska. This is all wrong. The plan is to cover' a period of nearly six years and the natural growth of dairy herds in that time would onlly be the 50 per cent that the plan calls for. "I have explained to many of these men that the plan is to show them how to Increase the quality of their herd by careful breeding over that period of time and I think that at least a few more are more In favor of the plan now than before. "The next year. If we are given a good crop, will aee a wonderful change In the attitude of the public toward farm lands In general. If cropa are good this year you will aee a good movement In farm lands this fall. "Right now the price of farm land la where It was when com sold for 45 cents a bushel. With corn selling at 70 cents a bushel It Is easy to see what an advantage the farmer of to day has.” M trtin declared that he based his belief In farm lands on the happen ings of other years and expressed op timism that would be only warranted by exceptional proof of good times ahead. Women Are Factors in Home Buying Women are taking a more and more permanent place In the scheme of the life of real estate dealer! In the estimation of A. IT. Perrow, of the T. H. Maenner company. Not only that but he firmly believe! that this arrangement of affairs Is Just and that things should be just no. All real estate men agree that many of the comforts of the present day home are nccredltable to women. It Is the women who look for drains In basements, for hardwood floors, for large living rooms and compact kit chens. It Is the women who want to know what kind of a neighborhood It Is that they contemplate moving Into and what the school facilities are. To the men goes the credit for planning moro and more substantial homes. The men know costs, they know something of material and they know something of construction. “It’s not fair to say that the wo men do it all,” Perrow said. “But it is not fair to sav that the men do It all slither. It takes both. But for the comfort and artistic advantages of the modern home the women arc to be credited.” Real Estate Transfers.

An SOacre tract of ground lying west of Sixtieth atreet and about half a mile north of Benson, for which Leonard Everett of Council Bluffs paid 170 an acre In 1808, was purchased last week by Hastings A Heyden for |400 an acre, or nearly six times the price for which Mr. Everett purchased It. In addition to the amount id for the land, the new owners expect to do several thousand dollars worth of development work on It this year, then subdivide It Into acre and half acre tracts and put It on the market. This piece of land lies on the west side of the road leading to the Coun try club's new North Sixtieth street location. The street will be graded this spring and probably will be paved or graveled In the very near future. Most of this 80 acre tract slopes to the south and much of It commands one of the bent views In the county. Leonard Everett, who sold the property, has made a fortune In Omaha and Douglas county real estate. le still owns considerable land In Douglas county as well as some valuable business property In the city. The sale to Hastings A Heyden was handled by Harrison A Morton. Omaha realtors; William Baird snd Sons represented both the seller and purchaser In legal matters pertain ing to the deal. Small Farm Land Tract Brings $517 Per Acre] Harry Wray of Seward. Neb., com pleted his moving to the 20 acre farm near Elkhorn for which he paid 8517 per acre. Another small tract near Elkhorn was sold to Joseph flibbons, real es tate dealer. This was an eight acre tract and was sold for over 84,000. Mr. Hlrt expects to plant a large por j tlon of his land to grapes. Small Investor Active in Buying Persons Living in Flats Arc Searching for Heal Homes. Like the commuter the flat dweller has a form of spring fever. Instead of subscribing to seed catalogues and pricing garden Implements he in quires about real estate. The farm, balmy days of last week started the annual rush of investlga tors and Investors to the offices of teal estate men. R. F. Clary of tlie R. F. Clary company declared that the demand for Information about small houses was greater than ever before. Not only that, but the sale of this type home promises to be ex ceptionally brisk this year. The Clary company has been very successful for several years In deal ing with a small compact class of homes. In each year they have suc ceeded In selling a number of small houses. They have entered Into con tracts for two houses during the early part of the last week. Which goes to show that the flat dweller is at least occasionally as sincere In hie ‘‘spring fever” as his suburban brother. In speaking of the advantages of the business of building a small home Clary declared that there are fewer foreclosures on this type of home than any other. “When a man starts to buy a little place like that," h» said, “he wants to make it his home. He's going to pay for It and keep It." Clary added that while persons who buy these homes not only strive to cancel their obligations on them, but continually Improve the property. Hudson Company Sells Addition The \V. Seavey Hudson company, 228 City National bank building, has been named sole agents for selling the lots in the Koenig addition.

The land, which was a 240-acre fnrm. lies five miles northwest of Foster, Nob. The price was $123 per acre. Another Nebraska farm sale which attracted attention last week was that of 160 acres near Holmesvills, In Kearney county, which sold at public auction for $160 an acre. Women Real Estate Dealers Aid Home Owners in Beautifying Interiors With the coming of the Warm days of last week that presage the advent of spring the thoughts of the "flat dweller" have turned to owning a home. Real estate men have report ed many inquiries about email prop erty and are looking forward to ex cellent business in the coming weeks. Well ahead of the men in this field of selling small homes, stand the real estate women of the city. Their chief cry for recognition Is their ability to tell more easily than men [of building a cabinet around the radi ator.' A piece of furniture may be placed between the two radiators, finishing out the scheme. The radiators are covered with a lattice cabinet backed with a heavy wire screen. This does not interfere with the heat, but does effectively conceal the lines of the radiator. A door may be buift into the end of the cabinet to make regu lation of the heat more easy. Another fault that must often be ftHOUSS JUd QAJEDSM [ what Is w^anted In a horn# to make It attractive. In an effort to aid the prospective home owner these people have equip ped themselves with literature on the subject of Interior decorating. While they have not specialized In the dec orating of ft home to the extent of figuring what type of furniture will be best for certain type rooms they have planned lots of little additions to the rooms that aid and materially In crease the beauty of the home. Concealed Radiators. For the bedroom a plan has been devised to hide the radiators in an effective manner. Th* room Is planned with two windows In one end. The windows are set Into the wall In such a way that it Is possible to place the radiator In this indenture getting them clear of the wall line. A cabinet may be built over the radi ator that will not only make the room more beautiful but will also furnish a seat, or shelf on which books may be kept. For homes that were planned to have the windows built flush with the floor, the plan that predominates In the more reasonable houses, an other Idea hos been suggested, that __I Children’s Home Is Completed The Nebraska Children'* Home *o clety ha* completed It* new quarters at Fontenelle boulevard and Ti-att street and has moved In part of the children who are under its care. The land on which the home stands and the grounds about It where they will play were sold by the Seavey Hudson company. The building was erected by the T. If. Maenner com pany. It cost approximately 140.000 Between 40 and B0 children can be cared for in the home. Ther* are four boy and six girl dormitories, a great dining room, a play room and an exceptionally roomy porch are special features of the pl»< e ; Spacious New Five-Story Nurses’ Home at St. Joseph Hospital Will Be Formally Dedicated on March 19 Top |ll< Imp, gymnasium on flip tlflli floor of Hip new home for nurnra at St Joseph hospital, lamer picture*, left, dining liall of the new home, and right, reception room on the flr*t floor.

Father Patrick Malian of l.ov.da university medical school, Chicago, and Hr l/otiis Moorehead of the same college xxere special gu overcome in planning a small home Is a long window in the living room. This window is often necessary to the general plan of the house. It can1 be built In several ways, some prac tical in places where others are not. One way of improving such a win dow la to use curtains. It has often been proved that colors will relieve stiff portion* of a room, and it is this theory that is put to work In improv ing the effect of a long window. Cur tains of bright tones thaf will attract the eye may be placed at each end and over the top of the window. These will keep the attention away from the blank space of the window and at the same time will permit the necessary light to enter the room. The accompanying sketches show ways of fixing the radiators of a bed room and of draping a window to gain the maximum in beauty and comfort from it. Miss C.
