By WTIXi M. M.MTIN. Just simply ran't resist telling you about the home I am building. "Home Is a short word, but did you ever stop to realize what. It Includes. Or that no other language has sword that means the same thing? Four letters, yet It Includes everything that Is dear to the heart—loved ones, a retreat from the workaday world, a cheerful fireside, the laughter of rhil dren, wife and mother at the other end of the table, old books, good pic tures, the world's best music, the companionship of friends, the memo ries of other days. The Hermans have no way of tell ing you they are going home. They "gehen zu hause." The nearest a Frenchman can come to It la "chez mol." You simply cannot get the real reaction from those words that you get from the good old Anglo-Saxon word "home." Weatherman I'nklnd. It may be an ornate caatle. battle mented and moated, without being home. It may be a wickiup or a thatchedrnofed hut. and yet be a home. That word has more meaning and more meanings than any other word in the language. And right now It means more to me than It ever did before, because I am building a home. Not a residence, not a mere house, but a home, just such a home as John Howard Payne visioned when he wrote the immortal ballad. The weatherman hasn't been very kind to me during the last week. Did manage to get the excavation com pleted and the cement footing In. and then came tha big snow. I wouldn't ask you to go out there and w’ade around In snow a foot deep just to see a hole In (he ground and a huge pile nf cement blocks. But this snow Is going off pretty soon, and then, my good friends, the mechanics on the job, will get busy. Then you simply must go out there with me and watch 'em work. Take a Dundee ear and get off at the end of the line at Brownell hall. The map printed here with will show you how to get over to i my building site. YHjt it cannot show ; you the site ltsella nr the beautiful ; vista spread out before your eyes on | ill sides. Honest to goodness, 1 ! wouldn't trade my building site for j another one, no matter where lo i rated.

M. out there today, or tomorrow, if you desire. You will be well repaid, for you ran see a beautiful sight, even if my home is now hardly started. I am learning more aWl more about homebuilding every day. During the past week I have been consulting va rious men about various things in connection with my home. One ■ of these interesting men is George 31. Ailwine. He is the "Kernerator” man. Father didn't have nnything like that in his home, but I am going to have one in mine. But I'm goingjo have a lot of things in my home that father never even dreamed of in his time. Now a "Kernerator” is a contrivance for the 20th century method of dis posing of garbage. It Is an ingenious arrangement of grates built into an enlargement at the base of the chim ney in such a way that a by-pass permits the draft to pass over and around and through the material to be burned. This thoroughly dries it. and when the proper time comes all I'll have to do Is to touch a match to it and away it goes. It is odorless. Lottie Clifford—O, boy! When she And as for saving time and labor for wants to get rid of the scraps and refuse, all she will have to do isopen a neat door in the chimney, right in the kitchen, let the refuse slide down the chute to the "Kernerator” and burn It at the psychological moment. You just ought to hear Georg# All wine tell about it, explaining how handy and healthful it la, All Steel and Concrete. Do not forget that my new home Is going to he firesafe. Cement con struction, with reinforced concrete floor to assure rcgiditv, steel win dows in the cellar, the finest kind of plumbing, the very latest eleetrical equipment, plenty of light, enough closet room to satisfy even a woman —and every bit of the material used in construction will be of the very best. I'm not worrying about the work men on the Job, either. I know they are going to put their very best into it, because I have instilled some of my own enthusiasm about a home Into their hearts. They’ll be delighted to tell you about it If you go out there, and I'm not sticking around to do the telling myself. Of course the big snow hinders the work, hut I am not complaining. It Is a mighty good thing for Kebraska, so why should I worry? If It were not for good old Kebraska I couldn't build this home. You Just wait until next Sunday. That's all I'm going to tell you about the ceremonies of laying the corner stone of my home. I've attended a great many cornerstone layings In my time, but this Is going to he the most important one of II Panoramic View of Crestwood ; --- .14. 41 p. I ■ !»!«!.

PROFIT OF $2,006 IS MADE ON HOME Owning his own home during the : hist seven and one half years made a | net profit of $2,006.25 for Henry Noar, j real estate salesman for the Hansen investment company,' realtors. Mr. Noar gave his figures to the Omaha Iteal Kstate hoard last week.

Hast week he sold it for $4,200, an advance of $825.
