I say I CAN SHOW you how to branch out , start a business of your own , with practically no capital , and make a big success. Just get the red blood in your veins to moving and"go after it tooth and nail It is your opportunity just what you have been looking for. TODAY it is yours yes YOURS. You know as well as I do that this is the age of real estate. People are realizing more and more forcibly every minute that real estate will never be any cheaper , it is going higher and higher and making men rich You know these to be facts , you see the shrewd men of your locality buying real estate. You can't show me a man who has no ambition and is satisfied with his present condition who ever achieved success. If I had been satisfied working in a factory in Monmouth , Illinois , I would be there now. The discontent with what you are doing now , and the ambition , grit and determination to accomplish more is what brings success , and the time to start and build your foundation to success is RIGHT NOW. HERBERT HURD , PRESIDENT , KANSAS CITY , MISSOURI \ mi AITT * m ? A T m\r rif\ * GRAY REALTY CO. Two Young Inventors. James Stitt , Jr. , and Krlck Fuosler. two Norfolk boys not over 13 years old , show rare ingenuity. The llrst in vention of those two lads is a "buzzer signal , " with which they have boon experimenting for several months. In the bedroom of James Stitt , Jr. , close to his bedside , can ho found an elec trical buzzer' , from which a series of telegraph wires run into a set of bat teries on a dresser nearby. The same arrangement in to he found In the bedroom of younj Fuesler. Without knowing the Morse or continental al phabet , these two youngsters have made up a code of their own anil can communicate with each other from their different houses as easily as a telegraph operator can jot down a tel egram translated from the dots and dashes as It conies over the clicking wires. Unlike the common telegraph , but verj much similar to that of a wire- lens receiver , the signal comes in a buzz and not a click , hut no trouble is found by the youngsters iu talking to each other until overtaken hy sleep. A common push button attached tea a wire as near as possible to their beds serves the young Inventors as a key , the only part of their apparatus which is yet to bo improved upon. Three long dashes and u short one means : "Do not call mo now. I am gone. " A series of other code signals arc known by the boys , and It is not probable that an expert in every code could read their secret messages , which are buzzed from one house to another while the families sleep , ig norant of what the youngsters are about. One of the hoys found a few old bat teries one day. the other iurnished a llttlo wire to which little by little was spliced until enough was secured to stretch It with the aid of a fish polo from one house to another. One end was fastened to a buzzer In each house , then a ground wire was added and , finally , the connections to the buttons wore made. Each youngster went slowly to his respective room and pushed a button , which , to his dollght , produced the buzzing sound on the buzzer. The code was made up and the youngsters are now happy. "All we need now is to improve the key on which wo are working , " they say. The lads also Invented a Hying ma chine , but it failed to lly and they abandoned It. NEBRASKA SCHOOL DATA.

It will determine the next election. No candidate , no party carrying the dark lantern can hope to succeed. The searchlight will be turn ed on. "It Is UKJ duly of those who propose measures for the public welfare to consider what is best for the common good rather than their personal de sires or preferences. " The former governor then outlines the plan which appears to him to prom ise a practical solution of the liquor question In this state. It Includes a law providing for statewide prohibi tion reserving the right , however , to any municipality to suspend the ap plication of such law therein by a three-fifths vote , and when so suspend ed to remain so for two years , when the question of continued suspension may , by petition , bo again submitted. There are provisions for the consign ment of liquor to individuals for fain- ly use , Us dispensation for medical purposes. The statement concludes : "Tho federal government should not only cease its practice of Issuing lic enses In dry territory , but should also assist the state in prosecuting offend ers. "There should be such other county operation on the part of the national government as may bo necessary to give the state control of shipment and dispensation of liquor among Its citizens.
