Prospects Good
Strong Note of Optimism Is
Sounded in Reports Re
ceived From Concerns
. in 16 Cities.
By T. J. FITZMORRIS.
Strong note of optimism is sound
ed by managers of building, savings
and loan associations In their com
ment on the business outlook in Ne
braska for 1924. Reports received
from men in daily touch with saving
and home making people, fairly regis
ters the tone of business conditions
in the communities hoard from.
Out of 33 reports from cities out
side of Omaha, 14 declare "business
prospects good," seven regard the out
outlook as "very fine;" five report
"prospects exceptionally fine;" three
say “the outlook is better than a
year ago;" one says, "prospects not
as good as in 1923;" another says,
"outlook even better than last year,”
and one "slow."
From 16 Cities.
The cities included in the reports
are Lincoln, Nebraska City, Beatrice,
Tecumseh, Seward, Hastings, David
City, Grand Island, North Platte, Co
lumbus, Fremont, Norfolk, Harting
ton, Ord, Aurora and Wahoo.
With only two exceptions the re
are uniformly optimistic and
confident. Among the co-operative
associations of Omaha the outlook is
equally cheerful and satisfactory.
The business development of Ne
braska associations during 1923 sur
passed the post-war boom year of
1920. Reports from 40 leading asso
ciations show assets totaling $105.
000,000, a gain of $14,000,000, or 15
per cent in 12 months.
Assets Show Increase.
If the associations not reporting
have maintained the average per
centage gain, the assets of all asso
ciations in the state, on the first of
the year, approximated £114,000,000,
indicating a fiscal year total around
$122^000,000, on June 30 next, com
pared with $10S,798,989 last June.
The associations reporting made 2,98G
loans for new buildings, mostly
homes, during 1923, compared with
2,503 new building loans in 1922.
The inflow of money Is leported
plentiful, as is customary in mid
winter, insuring an abundant supply
for new construction demands during
the coming building beason.
Destiny licked Napoleon at Water
loo. Perhaps it Is to give ordinary
folks a chance that you are held
down.
New Invigorator Wins
Praise From a Doctor
Commenting on treatments
supposed to aid in restoring
youthful vigor to the aged and
those prematurely “old,” Dr. G.
L. Miles, a California physician
of 40 years’ experience, says: “I
* ^fave been told of all kinds of
capsule and tablet gland cures
and all have been condemned,
but korex compound is, without
fail, the best invigorator I have
yet known.”
An Illinois physician, 78 years
of age, after trying this re
cently discovered compound in
his own case, says: “Soon after
supper, I took two of the korex
tablets. When morning came, I
thought I was young again. I
continued the treatment and am
well pleased.”
Men and women in all parts of
the country have reported grati
fying success after using this
simple home treatment in cases
of impaired gland and nerve
functioning, lost vigor, premature
age, failing memory, poor appe
tite, exhaustion and debility,
gome letters tell of surprising
results observed in only a few
days.
A full-strength treatment of
the compound in tablet form can
be obtained, under a money-back
guarantee, by writing direct to
its distributors, the Melton La
boratories, 1474 Melton building,
Kansas City, Mo., a thoroughly
reliable company. Those wishing
to accept this guaranteed offer
should enclose $2 with their or
ders or agree to pay $2 and
postage when the parcel is de
livered. The purchase price will
be refunded immediately, how
ever, to anyone who reports to
>(he laboratories within ten days
that he is not satisfied.

but to bo operated upon, and of course
that would cost us a great deal. My
husband heard about Lydia E. Pink*

factory and one night he stopped at
the drug storu and bought me a bottle
of it. I had begun to think there was no
help for me, but I took three bottles of
It and now I feel like myselfonccinore.
The price for three bottles wasn t so

C. D. Ulover and C. A. Grlmmel,
chairmen of the real estate board's
city planning and civic Improvement
committees, will make it their busi
ness to sec that no speculative prices
prevail when the city gets ready to

Tho realty board has Instructed
these two committees to work with
the city commissioners and city plan
ning board to see that the necessary
property for this work is acquired

Civic Bodies and
Realtors Plan for
Banner Year
Chamber Municipal Affairs
Committee Proposes Charter
Amendments to Improve
Ruihliuf! Conditions.
With prospects of :i banner year in
real estate every effort is being made
by realtors and civic groups to en
courage building.
Inducements to build at once are
being offered by real estate dealers.
New additions are being opened or
platted preparatory to being opened.
On every hand activity is to be seen
in preparation for the coming of
spring and the building season.
Civic groupsware doing their part
in attempting to obtain more pav
ing. to have the paving now down
repaired and to build new drives.
The latest step in the campaign is
a resolution of the civic and munici
pal affairs committees of the Cham
ber of Commerce recommending plac
ing of, charter amendments on the
ballot at tlt«5*pring election. May G.
Chief among these proposed amend
ments is one that would give the city
council power to order paving on
boulevards within a radius of one and
one-half miles of the city hall.
Streets Already Covered. %
The council now has the right to
order paving on all streets within
that radius without applying for a
petition to the property owners.
Such an amendment would assure the
maintenance of Turner boulevard,
part of Lincoln boulevard, part of the
Florence boulevard and short dis
tances on other streets classed as
boulevards.
It is believed by members of the
committee that such an amendment
would stimulate building In certain
districts.
Another amendment would protect
property owners from short-time
taxes and pertains to opening and
widening streets. At present the
taxes for such work are assessed
against the property along tho
street that Is being improved and is
payable within ',0 days. The amend
ment extends the time of payment to
10 years.
Ponte lots. W. K. Ellis, assistant
commissioner of the Chamber of Com
merce, said, along South Twenty
fourth'street. where it was widened
from Leavenworth street to St.
Mary avenue, were assessed $2,000
for their share of the expense. While
the assessment would be the same
under the amendment, the time
would lie extended for payment.
Sinking Fond Provided.
The third amendment provides for
a sinking fund to care for Omaha's
bonded indebtedness. At present there
is no such fund and often when an
issue of bonds matures there is no
money to use for retiring them. As a
result. Omaha's credit is impaired. On
several occasions trouble has been en
countered in disposing of an issue of
municipal bonds.
Some of the original Indebtedness
of Douglas county, acquired when the
county was first incorporated, still
exits’ Ellis said. The city Is In much
the same predicament and cannot
help Itself until some system is de
vised whereby l>ond* can be retired
when they mature.

New Additions Help
Pay Omaha Taxes
The value of additions to a city
from a standpoint of taxes was shown
In a statement by Charles W. Martin.
According to figures he obtained
at tlie assessors office, the total as
sessed value of the Minne Lusa addi- ■
tion in 1914 was $61,300, and the
taxis wee $715.03. In 1923 the same
section was assessed on a value of
$1,846,143 and the city collected in
taxes $41,095.
In his talk he pointed out that this
collection of taxes aided people in
every section of the city. He added
that the new addition put on the
market by his company, was even
iaiger than Minne Lusa and would
therefore be a greater source of rev
enue.

New Tract Has
Unique History
Florence Fields Passed From
Hands o{ Indians to Mor
mons in Far ly Days.
From the Indiana to the early
Mormon settlers; from the early Mor
mons to James Monroe Parker; from
the heirs of James Monroe Parker to
Charles W. Martin. That,Is the his
tory of Florence Fields, tho new addi
tion being marketed by the C. M -
Martin company.
The ne widdltlon Is north of Minne
Lusa and offers equal, if not greater,
possibilities for the prospective home
owner. It in high and well served by
street car and with paved roads.
The history of the section is in it
self something to know and attract
prospective buyers. The road now
used daily by hundreds of motorists
going to and from Florence was once
an Indian trail. Later It was widen
ed by the Mormons on their way west
in their covered wagons. Still later
it was improved by the settlers, and
now is paved its entire length
Mr. Martin declares that the addi
tion is so far the best ever offered
by his company that he looks for an
exceptionally prosperous year in mar
keting lots.
