Prosperity Is Indicated by ;■ Homebuilders Builders of Small Homes Al ready Making In quiries for Lo cations. Small homes, house* of four, five and six rooms, will form t lie bulk of the building tills year In Omaha. Not only that but there will be a great number of homes built during the "building months.” Byron Hastings, president of Hasting* * Heyden, realtors, has de clared that this is his idea of the prospects for the coming year. "Not only do people want small homes but they want them out of the congested districts,” he declared. "Omahans don't want to be packed In some one small area. They want ft chance to get out where they can have a little garden and a few fruit trees. Many Early Inquirers "So far thla year we have had more Inquiries about thla class of property than ever before. Every In dication Is for a banner year In busi ness. "From my observation the principal builder this year will be the man who wants a little home and an Inex pensive home. The majority of peo ple who are building now are work ing for a salary and are not able to Invest heavily In a plare to live. "One of the greatest factors In the trend of building away from the crowded sections of the city, out toward the acre and half acre-trarts. la the automobile. There was a time when It would have been Impossible for the average person to live out three or four miles from their plare of business. Now almost everyone owns a motor car of some descrip tion apd they can easily get back and forth. Ia>an Companies Help "Another thing that encourages people in this Is Omaha's exception ally fine building and loan companies. If a man owns a lot It is a com paratively simple thing to borrow the money for building a home. Chief among the reasons for making these loans is the fact that every such home means a permanent citizen for Omaha. "Omaha has exceptionally advan tageous Interest rates and payment plans. The bulk of lots In the city are -old for a small down payment and unbelievably amall monthly pay ments. “All of this helps Omaha, and peo ple realize It. That makes Omaha grow and makes us look for a banner year." Prosperity Indicated Prlca of material, prlca of labor and •xcellent facilities for work were all pointed out by Mr. Hastings as being i good "Indicators’’ of coming prospert * [ftfcOCROSS LIVER PILLS B^^realmeDt^ omach, Bowels, is, Dyspepsia,1// on, Gall Stones// lendicitis. /& MOTlfe _ ISold in Omaha oy Sherman * McCooMlIDru^o^ric^M^I auvkrtisemiwt" Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair In food condition, be careful what you wash It wifh. Many aoapa and prepared sham pooa contain too much frcn alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulslfied cocoanut oil shampoo (which Is pure ahd entirely greaseless), is much bet ter than anything else you can un tor shampooing, as this cannot possi bly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it In. Two or tnree teaspoonfuls will make an abundanre of rich, creamy lather, and cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quick ly and evenly, and it leaves It fine and silky, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to manage. You can gee Mulslfied cocoanut oil fharnpoo at any drug store. Jt Is in expensive, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. IAIlVICKTINK.MKVr. SICK, CMS Harmless Laxative for the Liver and Bowels Feel fine!

That ft the opinion of T. H. Mean ner, president of the T. II. Maenner company, a designer of homes. The home, in Maenner's estimation, must be compact for heating, for care and for comfort. Good ventilation in summer Is as essential as plenty of heat in the winter. A house with lots of windows does not necessarily have to be well ventilated, but such a place would be hard to heat. A house with windows properly placed may be well ventilated and , still, when aided by compactness, be easily heated. To this end he has borrowed an idea from the Spanish type of archi tecture. There is no patio In the plan but the interior and many of the little additions to the exterior of the house are taken direct from the spacious homes of Spain. A Five-Room Home. The home built on this plan is 30 feet long and 28 feet wide and is one and one half stories In height. It contains five rooms and is planned to save steps and work. Windows on every side a«sure plentiful ventilation during the hot months of summer and yet they are located in such a way that there ty. lie declared that Omaha is a good market for farm produce and is an economical city in which to live. There was no factor, he said, which would lead any one to think that the coming year would be anything but bright In the real estate business. And, he added, real estate sets a standard. , Douglas County Land Past Week Sells for $421 Nino Farm Sales Total $142, 200; Many Good Estates Change Hands in State. Nine farm sales In Douglas coun ty, totaling $142,200, and bringing from $191.50 to $421 per acre, were made during last week. The highest priced piece of land to l>e sold, according to the records, was 57 acres near Valley, owned by the Pierce family, for $15,600, or $421 per acre. Another high-priced piece was 16ft «i ith purchased hy W. F. 1 loreis from V. Voea for $10,000, or $250 per acre. Fred Bauermelster bought $0 acres from P. If. Bane near Irvington for $1.8,000, or $225 per acre. Another 80 acres near Klkhorn was sold by A. J. McCormick to C. A. Jtoettele for $16,000, or *200 per acre. W. F. Morels, who bought the Vacs farm at Chaleo, gold one to Henry Otte near Chaleo for $30,600, or $101.50 per acre. A large number of farm deals were made this month fn other parts of Nebraska. One of these was a 40,000 acre ranch, near Hock Springs, sold by William H. Gottche to William Bates, A farm near Klgtn sold for $250 per aero; one near St. Kdwards for 8220 per arre, and the 200-acre farrp near Wynot sold for *10,000, or $200 per acre.

Is no draft to make heating difficult during the cold months of winter. Attention to detail has given the exterior of the house a charming effect. The stone work around the doorway gives a latin air especially when aided by the dainty awnings over the front windows. Awnings Are Work of Art. The awnings In themselves are a work of art. Unlike the usual awn ing they have no side pieces and do not lower to a point level with the center of the window frame. Two rods, topped with spear heads sup port the canvas and broad stripes of yellow and black harmonize with the general scheme of exterior decora tion. 1 In the eaves can be seen on# of the latest ideas In architecture. In place of long eaves extending over the side of the house, the roof ends almost flush with tho wall. A r winging gate built across the driveway relieves the side yard and wall. The gate can be so constructed that it will Interfere hut slightly with the driving in and out of a motor car. Inside are two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room and kitchen. The front door opens Into the living room. One bedroom opens from the living room and the other from the dining room. The dining room has been placed in an unusual position, between the rear bedroom and the kitchen. Dining Least I'sed Room. Mnonner explains this location of the dining room by saying that this is possibly the least used room, in point of actual hours, in the house. Ventilation here is less essential than anywhere else. Yet, located as it is, it is convenient to the kitchen. The kitchen, in Maenner's estima tion, is the crowning success of the plan. It has one large window that is clear of all obstruction, and a Two Attractive Dundee Homes Here are shown two attractive Dundee homes recently built by John K. WcCarville, builder. The homes are located at 101 and 10.'* South Fifty-first street. Confident that the season of 19?4 will see a remarkable gain in real estate. MrCarville is now building two more homes simitar to these. He expects to be busy throughout the summer and fall erecting homes in all parts of Omaha. Home Hunters Are j Already Looking Unusual activity in spring house 1 unting was evinced during the Inst week, Omaha ,realtors have an nounced. The Hchroeder Investment company' declared that they have been sur prised by the number of people who have applied to them for lists of de sirable property that in for sale. Th** prospective buyers, in true “early spring rush" style, have preferred to inspect the house by themselves.' Driving their own cars and i.ot ask ing for the aid of salesmen. Officials of the Hchroeder Invest-j ment company declare that 'iu the siring of every veer this rush of buyers comes to look over property. The system of Inspecting ell property, regardless of price or location, la to he deplored, they say. A salesman is generally called for in the end and he Is alile to show just (he houses that would suit the prospective purchaser. The habit of "helping themselves" holds, however, nd the company declares that the ettisiness has looked better this year lhan ever before. Spring Weather Helps Realtors’ Business Pleasant weather during the last week encouraged prospective home buyers to venture Into the re d estate market, much to the satisfaction o< Omaha realtors In general. Keversl firms reported excellent progress toward a record In volume of business for this season. second window that It only obstructed by the paraphernalia to-the breakfast nook. A current of air Is always passing through the room, and It is possible to keep it exceptionally cool in the summer. A picture of the home, together with floor plan, appears above on the left. Another house which Maenner has designed and which has furnished ideas for more moderate plans of ■ Spanish architecture is shown on the right, above. More Spanish In Effect. This house stays more to the true Spanish type. It has the patio, the stucco walls and the flat root of the houses of Spain arid Latin America. On the outside, the long windows, the solid door and the small balcony give it a very individual air. A care ful selection of shrubbery will aid materially in increasing this individual atmosphere. The floor plan of the home, except for the increased spaciousness of the front bedroom, is identical with that of the mollified Spanish home. A plan book, recently published by | the Maenner company, gives these and many other plans in detail. Hill on Sales Force of Equitable Trust 1 W JC, Oil'll \ William Hill ha* been added to the sales force of the real estate depart ment of the Kqultable Trust com pany. Mr. Hill was formerly connected with the firm of Hill & Scott, In the McCauge building. Carpenters* Union Art Brightens Outlook When the carpenters' local union resolved the other day that Its mem liers would not ask for any increase In wages and dcclnred themselves satisfied with the general condition of things at present they aided great ly in inert islng the bright aspect for the coming season In the real estate business. Hullders had feared that the talk of a strike among the building trades a mild frighten prospective homo own ers from beginning work on homes. With the < aCpenters satisfied this strike fear has been laid to rest. Arthur Brisbane Invests in Land Columnist Is One of the Most Careful of Buyers. Arthur Brisbane 1* putting his money in real estate. •'Barrons." a weekly financial re view, has this to say about Brisbane and his real estate holdings: Arthur Brisbane, whose ptingen paragraphs reach every day nearly 10,000,OOP readers, is not only an In defatigable writer, but one of the largest operators In real estate In New York. The bulk of his fortune, now' In seven figures, Is In land and buildings. A list of his holdings would disclose some of the choicest bits of property, not only in New York, but in oflier cities over the country. Brisbane bases bis investments on careful studies of population, busi ness and traffic tendencies in much I the same Way that the United Cigar Stores operate.
