Weston, vice president of the F’eters Trust compuny, Inst week received two letters from different parts of the state Indicating, ac cording to Weston, that farm lands are again on a solid and substantial basis. One of these letters Is from Lex ington, stating that In the last few months the correspondent had sold $125,000 worth of land, upon which cash payments amounting to between $80,000 and $90,000 had been made. The other letter was from a north east Nebraska banker, saying that in the last two or three months he has placed $70,000 In farm loans at a flat interest rate of 5 per cent. Reports to the real estate hoard during tlie week show a large move ment of high-priced land since March 3. These reports show the sale of a farm near Newman Grove for $220 per acre: a farm of 160 acres near Alma, Neb., for $24,000; a farm sold at auction near Filley for $156 per acre: a 115-acre farm in the vicinity of Liberty for $18,000; ^ 66-acre farm for $lf2 per acre. Several sales were reported from Iowa during the week; among them an 80-acre farm near Atlantic which sold for $225 per acre, and a 160. acre farm near Raton for $260 per nere. CONCRETE BLOCKS FROM CINDERS: Concrete blocks manufactured under the Straub patent fr<jm cinders, are I the new construction Units being of fered Omaha builders by the Ideal Cement Stone company. Cinder con crete tile are also being manufactured by the firm. "Cinder block,’’ ns they are known Ip the concrete products business, are the same as ordinary concrete blocks in method of manufacture, except thal In place of using sand and graduated gravel, the mixture Is of cement and cinders. The cinders are tested and graded before being used. The resultant block Is lighter In weight than a sand and gravel block and fire tests seem to indicate that it stands more heat successfully. It has the additional advantage that cin der blocks are "nailing blocks.” That Is. ordinary nails may he nailed direct ly Into the block and be depended upon to hold about the same as If driven Into wood. F. J. Straub, under whose patents the cement is operating, won a suit of four years' standing this month for Infringement of patent rights. The suit was decided In federal court of western Pennsylvania.

March 27.—America's im migration restriction law has caused an $85,000 deficit in the estimated receipts of the British foreign office. Since April 1 of last year the foreign office issued 45,000 fewer passports- than had been expected. The slump Is explained as due al most entirely to the reduced immigra tion to the United States from Great Britain and northern Ireland.

Realty Board to Sponsor Move for City Beautiful Organization to Improve Aesthetic Appearance of Omaha Will Be Formed Tuesday. For the purpose of improving the physical appearance of Omaha, the Omaha Heal Kstatd board has ar ranged to sponsor a “city beautiful committee." which will be organized Tuesday morning under the direction of H. Peters, who is a member of the board and president of the Peters National bank and Peters Trust com pany, Peters’ committee will consist of six ot seven of the city's leading business men. The meeting will be held In the directors’ room of the Peters bank. “Omaha has the contour and other natural Rifts that make it possible for this city to be second to none in the country in physical beauty,” Peters said. “If all of our citizens join in the effort all of Omaha ran lie made to look like a park. Pure of Appearance*. “There is no stronger influence than physical appearance in persuading people to move to a city to live. The appearance of a city is the strongest fax-tor in obtaining favorahle com ment from visitors." President Spain of the real estate board cites the district of Florence boulevard known as the Prettiest Mile as an example of what can be done all over the city in making the ap pearance of Omaha attractive. "This district." Spain said, “is not a wealthy section of the city, and it hasn't any mansions on It. It is simply well taken care of 12 months out of the year and the people living in the district have pride in the ap pearance of their homes and their street. There Is nothing in the Pret tiest .Mile district that can't be made in every other section in Omaha.” Dress I p for I.eginn. Peters and others Interested In this movement fxint nut that it ta partic ularly desirable for Omaha's physical appearance to be lirst class this year because of the fact that the city Is to lie visited next fall by over 50,0n0 legionnaires from all parts of the United States. “If our city is well groomed, clean and well lighted in public and private places, these 58,000 people will all say that Omaha Is a splendid city. If these visitors see trash In the streets, weeds on lawns, broken fences, dark streets, these risltors will say we are asleep," said Peters. It'* false, my friend, this stuff you hear \hoiit the dread, night atmosphere; For lie who sleep* with hi* windows up Wants no d ran gilt from the doctor's < up. Buck Company Makes Record in March Sales First 26 Days Yield 19 Homes Either Sold or Con tracts for Build- * Jug. during the first 26 days of March, r>. E. Buck & Co. report their best March month’s business, these sales include 18 new homes or building contracts for Buck’s Better Built bun galows, five of which are located in Standard Place, one in Morton Meadows and one in Twin Ridge ad dition: of. the balance, 3 are located in Benson and two in Mi tine I.usa auditions. All of these 12 homes include Buck’s special features and high grade construction: they are typical ly “Better Built.” Two niticeable features of the above 12 sales are first, that on seven of them the purchasers paid all cash, or cash down to the first mortgage loans which proves there are ample funds available In Omaha for purchasing homes on a sound sales basis: second, the average price per home sold was $0,684. which 1). K. Buck A Co. find is a $310 higher average than the average price paid per house on their total sales during 11*24. D. K. Buck states decidedly "that people are now endeavoring to buy a little better and possibly a little more expensive home, yet at the same time a permanent borne: that “houses” are now being bought for "homes” and not as a temporary shelter or speculative investment ns during the Inst few years. People have finally realized the l>est “hank” In the world is their own home on which they are! making a monthly payment and avoiding the high rental charge* still effective here. Many are buying new homes now in preference to nld property, ns the new homes may l»e purchased at even less than some of the older homes that were bought at the peak of prices jn 1321 and 1322. Buck A Co. have 24 homes under construction, of which 13 are being built to order for the purchasers and eight of which are being built to sell and will he ready to occupy sometime In April.
