BIG PROFITS MADE
IN OMAHA GROUND
International Realty Asociates
Make Fifty Percent on One
Year Investment.
LOCAL MEN MAKE SALES
Big profits are possible in Omaha
real estate, if one has the money to
buy a big tract and plat it.
This is shown by the profit just
made hy the International Realty
Associates on Waverly Park 'lace,
jus west of the Nrhraska School for
the De af in Omaha.
This international bedy of real
estate men, with a big volume of capi
tal back of it. bouirht this tract about
a year ago, platted it and is now sell
ing out the lots through the Omaha
real estate men. A handsome profit
is already assured.
Forty-one members of the Omaha
Real Estate exchange went out a few
days , ago and underwrote the whole
eighty-six lots in a few minutes. That
it, they apportioned the lots out
. among themselves at a given price
and contracted to sell them at that
price and turn that money over to
the International Realty Associates.
The eighty-six lots thus totaled $60,-
775, or ,whatis said to be a profit to
the international of some SJU.OUO.
The real estate men looked the plat
over when all was graded and the
various municipal services installed
and decided the lots were easily worth
the money, so there was no trouble
in apportioning the whole plat out to
tnese men to be sold by them at a
given price.
Draw Blind Lots.
The lots were numbered, and tickets
corresponding in numbers to the num
bers of the lots were put in a hat.
A real estate man drew blindly out
of the hat as many tickets as the num-
oer ot lots he would agree to dispose
of at the given price. The number on
the ticketi showed him which lots he
will have to handle.
The local real estate men are to
make-no profit on these lots. They
tre merely to sell them at the price
the International Realty Associates
asks for them.
This is a booster move which the
international is carrying on in various
parts of the country. Omaha is the
third city in which the international
has bought a vacant tract and devel
oped it, only to be sold at a handsome
profit in the form of lots. In Dtiluth
and Pittsburgh the international ac
complished simitar feats. Local real
estate men consider this an excellent
advertisement fof realty values, and
any city in the United States is great
ly flattered to have the International
Realty Associates come in and buy
and develop a tract for a profit. Their
judgment is considered good, and
when they look a city over and give
it the stamp of approval as a "comer"
by buying a tract, the city is always
flutered. Omaha real estate men
were greatly pleased to get Omaha
into the very exclusive list of cities
already so favoreij. ;

sold to persons who expect to build.

Republican Censures
Wilson for Slurring
' Loyalty of Germans
Seward, Neb., Sept. 30. (Special.)
A democratic audience and a typi
cally German one applauded last night
Dr. Lari minsiiergcr ot New York
City, a republic .11 speaker, who
caustically censured President Wil
son anti-hyphen statements. The
meeting was in tl.e Seward county
courthouse. '
"Dr. Wilson talks of hyphenism as
though every German in the United
States were heartily opposed to the
great principles on which this nation
is founded. He seems to fjrget the
great service which Csrl Schurz and
other immigrants from the fatherland
rendered in civil war days.
The speaker, himself a German,
says that most Germans in this coun
try were actuated by the motto.
"America first."

Six-for-a-Quarter
The Board;
There's grief among the cigar men
and tobacco merchants these days.
While the prices ot fodder, ma
chinery, gasoline and white paper
have been hitting the high spots on
account of the war and the demo
cratic administration, the price of to
bacco remained at the old level and
the cigar man made an honest living
without, the daily worry of calculating
the figures on the ledger to see if the
balance should be written in red or
black ink. But now the tobacco mer
chant is getting his and already the
six-for-a-quarter brand of smoke has
disappeared over the high-cost-of-liv-ing
horizon.
Cigars that tormerly were pur
chased tor fJi a thousand and sold
at a jitney each have advanced to
$37.50 and $38. At six-for-a-quarter a
thousand cigars would sell at $40, a
profit of only $2, which is not enough
to allow for rent, wages and over
head. Thus has the six-for-a-quarter
cigar disappeared. And if prices con
tinue to climb the nickel cigar will
have a struggle to keep its place. The
price must either go up or the quality
come down.
Cigars that formerly cost the retail
er $70 a thousand have gone up to
$75 and $78 a thousand. This is the
rand of cigar that sells for 10 cents.
Other cigars have gone up from $90
io $100 a thousand. This is the 15
cent, or two-for-a-quarter size. And
if another advance occurs the two-

Those taken into custody are R. H.
Golden, who said he was a real es'

Federal officers are holding a num

the girls lured him to an apartment

forced him to pay $15,000. Attorneys
for the girls claim the letters prove
that the Iowan wronged the girls and
made payment as a recompense.

Much advertising these days is
like the great gas clouds which
the armies of Europe are hurling
at each other.
It envelopes you in a thick fog of
superlatives and exaggerations in
which you can only rub your
eyes and gasp for breath.
Here, by way of contrast, is our
advertising code: to be straight
forward to be truthful to be
brief.
When you have such merchandise
as Kirschbaum Clothes at $15,
$20 and $25, you can safely leave
a lot to be said by the goods
themselves.

today that is thrity-three year old.
William Losey of Council Bluffs,
902 Avenue F, is the owner of this
stalk. It grew on the farm of his
father, N. M. Losey, ten miles north
of Fairbury thirty-three years ago.
and William, who was then a small
boy, cut it for a cane while he was
out bringing in the cows. It was
exceptionally large. That is why it
attracted his attention. Today it is
as hard as bamboo, and looks very
much like a bamboo reed. He gilted
it over, so that it is quite a handsome
curio today.
"We sold the corn off that stalk
and that field for eight cents a
bushel," said Mr. Losey, exhibiting
the stalk in the office of The Bee
yesterday. "Look at the price of
corn today. I gue:s there has been
some progress there, too, while you're
talking of the history of the state."
