FARMERS WILL BE LAND BUYERS DURING 1925 Although the year 1924 nrodured what realtors designate as a "won derful Increase in land business in Nebraska and Iowa," the year 19 25, tney say, promises to be much better. Martin Larson of Central Citv. S. J. Hyatt of Lincoln, F. H. Richards of Fremont, Mark Martin of Omaha. and other well known realtors thru out the Btate are unanimous in pre dicting mat the activity in farm lands in 1925 will be far in excess of that of 1924. There men also are In agreement in their opinion that the activity will be confined to dealing by the farmers themselves. In their opinion the farmers are the best and most logical buyers of land, and they say ! the farmers' ability to buy more land ' is getting better all the time. The reports received from various parts of the state regarding land transactions Indicate that the opinion of these men is correct. A report from Leigh. Nebraska, show the sale of 160 acres of unim proved land for $232.50 per acre. A farm was sold at auction In Dodge county for $209 per acre. A report from Dakota county wai a 160-acre farm, two and a half miles from Dakota City selling for $200 jjte aere.

Delegates of the Associated General Contractors of America, opening their annual con vention here today, were advised by President Coolidge in a brief ad dress at the White House, that they might serve the public interest by standardizing contract forms and ad justing operations to combat seasonal fluctuations in employment. Secretary Hoover, who spoke be fore the convention later, expressed opposition to the undertaking of con struction work by governmental au thorities without utilization of con tractors' services. "My own belief, as an engineer, la that construction of public works by contracts makes for national accom plishment," he said. Considerable waste In industry and litigation, he added, is occasioned by the indefinitene39 of present building contract forms. During general sessions of the con vention the delegates began discus sion of a proposed "code of ethics" to govern contractors' relations with clients. - Leonard A. Watson of Boston, In troducing a committee report on the subject, predicted that labor rates in building would remain stationary during the next few months, and J. W. Couper of Buffalo urged that con tractors devote their efforts to re ducing costs in affecting the effilien cy of labor. SUFFERS BROKEN LEG From Monday's Dally William H.
