Into tha Omaha etchang. which rai one
tha charter mmbr of the natimal ex
change, and also tmuM the Interest of
the membership c-emmltlee and warned
them rf tha danger which they face If they

entered against them when clients accuse
them ot fraud, and are generally unreli
able, Mr. HaJsey proper a 'Thin'' and
'Brad street" of real ealate dealers to be
conducted by tha neMon.l exchange, and
he leapt OP date. He dues not believe It
will bo necessary to aire a dealer a "rat
ing' In tha common sens of tha term, but
to toll tha general public. If the public
wants to know, whether a firm or a dealer
ha u A. R C or D character and reple
tion foe reliability. At r,reecnt there are
bundreda of investor, mho send money to
unreliable flrma or tru.l their property In
hands whet they rhmi!d hot and are dls
arpolnte1 when they d not get returns.
The executive ec tary believes a report
on flrma would check the evil and frorpi
that it be published by the national ex
change, which la becoming an lriforrnetlon
tnjreau at present for dealers and cus
tom era.
One of the first things the national ex
chic ire did w-aa to get "tab" on soma of
tha big advertisers of Mexican land.
1 (Yuri plaints by the barrel rolled In from
California to tha Chicago office. Not many
days later advertisements began to appear
In the Chicago papers and the same firm
had opened an office In one of the down
town Mocks. The National Real Estate
exchange looked un. the California record
and the fake dealers were told gently, but
firmly that they whould have to seek
other pastures or take the consequences of
exposure. This seems to work, according
to If r. Haisey. and the national organise
tic . supported by fourteen Iocs organisa
tions from Baltimore to Seattle, will go
Into the work more extensively.
This brings the question hnme to aJl the
local exchange. It will be hard for Mr.
Halary to rub'ish hi book and give all
exchange members a clean bill of health.
Inquiry of offtcea of the Omaha exchange
results In checks bring placed after the
names of a number of dealers. The
queaailon arises In the tnlnds of those
who like the srheme of the Chicago
man, whether anm rule will not
have to bo followed to keep member
ahip In the exchange up ao all member
may be rated A No. 1 Instead of having
a few Da In the list. The Omaha ex
change la fortunate. Officers say there
are few. If any, members who could not
be rated top-notch In the big blue book
which the national association proposes to
publish.
nscuastnn of the law relating to taxation
of mortgages, resulted In D. C. Patterson
moving before the exchange that the bill
which the Real Estate exchange was about
to upggest. be entitled "bill to exempt
mortgages from taxation In the state of
Nebraska. Mr. Pstterson declared that
such was the intention of the bill and be
saw no r aeon to miahntnd It and thus
conflict with the iure food laws.
Though Mr. Patterson's motion was not
kindly received by the real estate dealers
j or representative of foreign capital who
happened to be present, it brought out the
sentiment of the dealer on the question
and almost all favor ths fee system, whkh
is said to work with such success In Min
nesota; and tn New York.' When the mort
gage Is (4aced on file a fee equal to one
half of 1 per cent 1 charged for filing, and
this Is put Into the general fund. In New
York state Tfi.flOO.WO was paid in foes last
year. As most of the mortgage filed In
Nebraska, are believed to e ape taxation
anyway, the dealer say the fee would end
both tag dodging and double taxation.
No less than fMO.OuO. for which applica
tions have been made, la being held up by
the financial agents of the Insurance com
panies pending a settlement of the mort
gage tax question. One firm which Is a
heavy loaner In Omaha has flOO.OO and
applications for that amount, but received
instructions to hold tha amount until
something is settled on the taxation ques
tion. In the meantime the stick held over
Nebraska to being kent a long ways off
by the plentiful supply of home money,
but dealers say the time I coming. If it
Is not tips now, when they will need all
the foreign money tbey tan get.
Ono of the important d.sls of the week
was the organization of the Phull Kand
company, and the sule by the heir of
Jscob fthull to local iope who will im

ult opposing the probsilng of a will
filed In county court 8aturrlr morn
ing, ths charges In which read like an old
faah'sned novel. A remarried father, a
atepmother, a daughter of the former, a
will cutting off the daughter without the
proverbial entiling, are the component fac
tors In the tale narrated.
Elisabeth Coanoyer, daughter of tha late
Charles M. Conneyer, a prominent resident
and properly owner of Omaha, la the peti
tioner and her petition opposes the probat
ing of the will and the appointment of her
stepmother as executrix.
Mrs. Mary C. Connoyer, the petition re
cites, was meu-rlrd thirty-five year ago to
the decedent, father of the petitioner, who
had at that time one daughter, msabeth
CVnnoyer, who made her home with her
father and stepmother until the wac XI
year of age. "he wae then driven from
the home, the petition aerta. by her tep
mother agalnat the wlahea and over the
protest of her father, "and a no time
since haa been allowed to come near her
father'a home, and when ahe aaw him or
conversed with him she wa compelled to
do so wherever ahe hapnenad to meet him
either by accident or hv appointment.
Weak la Mrs nasi Rody.
"At the time of the making of the will,
the said deceaeed was very week both in
body and mind by reason of a long Hint
and by reason of the feneration from his
daughter and other family troubles, which
weighed heavily agalnat him."
Then the petition make the charge of
undue Influence, saying that he frequently
expressed the wlah to provide well for to
only natural daughter. (Miea Connoyer la
not mentioned In the will and the largo
estate left to the widow and lier children).
'8o on hla death bed." continues the
complaint, "during hi last nines, he cried
repeatedly for hi daughtrr and akrd
that she be Sent for. which was never
done, and he also stated during his last
illness and on hia death bed that he had
provided for his daughter and left her
well cared for and ahe would never
need to worry by reason of any lack of
parental duty.
'And that the purported will and testa
ment filed here is not the last will and
teetament of Charles M. Connoyer, d-ceased."
Mrs. Mary Connoyer. the widow of the
teatatcr, was the widow of his brother
when C. M. Connoyer married her.

Planning and Building the Cottage
Arthur C. Clausen, Architect.
A email hous is not necessarily a cot-
tage. although a cottage Is Invariably a J
mall houee. To define a cottage exactly j
In a way which would distinguish It from all
other home would be a difficult matter, for I
there is no well defined difference between J
a cottage and a small home. To say that
a home ia a cottage dot-a not indicate ita
exact sise or Its style. It Is. merely a da
designation, for a cottage can be designed
in any atyle of domestic architecture.
There are Just two characteristic that are
common to all cottagea. One Is the low
effect of the cottage and the other is the
prominence given to the roof In the designs.
To mako a cottage too low, si low that
appear a to be but one story high puts It
Into the bungalow class. Therefore, the
I
I
definition of a cottage can only be made j
In a general way. All points considered.
It Is a two story house of small sisa hav- I
ing a low effect and with an individual
and prominent treament of tiie aize. ehape j
and dortuera of tlic roof. The roof plays a
prominent part In the designs of every
home, but this .1 especially true of a cot
tage. Take for example the g.mbrel roof.
It ia adapted to homes In more different
waya than any other style of roof. It Is
sometimes used on a full two-story house,
making practically a third story, owing
to the considerable space In the attic, bjt
It looks best oa a low cottage with the
lower cornice line about twelve feet from
the ground. The cheapest roof to place on
a cottage la a straight gable roof with
the ridge running the long way of the
house. Without some variation or embellish
ment. It makes a vrry ordinary looking
house.
The cottage which' accompanies this
article la a good example of how the severe
plainness cf an ordinary gable tan U
overcome and give an appearance out of
the ordinary to the entire home. The pock
el book Invariably limits the colUgo in
tbe way of tbe elaborate detail sometime,
used on larger homes to make tliem appear
at! lattice and prominent in the neighbor
hood, but there 1 one thing which a de
signer of every cottage ran do to make It
attract attention and take It out of the
commonplace and that 1 to make it unique
or original either aa Ita plan or design, or

both. To make It original, it Is not neces
sary to make It appear hideous. "How
odd" may be a compliment, but "a hat a
freak" Is not. The sixe of a porch on a
cottage varies according to Individual
preference, which is also true of its loca
tion. A porch to be comfortable should
never be less than seven feet wide, and It
Is not advisable to make It more than
ten feet wide for a cottage, there being
no limit to its sixe on a large house. A
porch 10x1! or Sxlt Is ef fair aize, but not
large, since a cottage can only accomodate
a few persons tbe porch need not be ex
ceedingly apacious.
Thero Is one thing which every cottage
should contain and that la a fireplace.
A cottage without a porch or fireplace ia
like "iRomeo and Juilet" wiluout a Romeo.
The sentiment of a good, old-fashioned
fireplace in the cottage, to say nothing of
the comfort, and other practical purposes.
which it serves, is enough in itself to w
rant the slight additional expense which
It lncurrs. The fireplace should, of course.
be placed in the living room and that
living room, if poslble, should be large
It Is very Impractical to cut up a cottage
plan into small rooms. The parlor Is
tiling of the past, let It remain so. It
never was anything but a useless expense
snd a terror to the children for "woe unto
the child who left a plaything or ever
ventured into the parlor without its
mother's consent." which was rarely
given. Combine your parlor and aitting
room of bygone days into one large, home
like, comfortable living room where you

ger has had filed In the United States cir
cuit court at Omaha two memoranda opin
ions relating to the Valley Land and Cattle
company receivership. Action was brought
by the company against Henry B. Read for
an accounting, exceptions being taken to
the report of tbe master in chancery. Judge
Munger overruled the exceptions to the
master's report, and ordered a decree In
accordance with such report.
The other decision bears upon the same
case, but ha a different phase, the tiUe of
this case being Henry B. Read against Rtley
E. Haskell. Objection was made to the al
lowance st the master In chancery's report
of one of the complainants to file an
amended bill before the special master In
chancery, A. J. Sawyer, and questioning
the Jurisdiction of the court In the premise.
It appears that ninety-four shares of the
stock of the company were Issued to Has
kell and W. V. Hoagland in IKK subject to
certain Hens between Haskell and! Hoagland.

Our work is with our customers.
We do not act in an automatic "simply-obey-orders"
capacity and undertake to prepare campaigns of publicity to
fit "blue print" specifications imposed by advertisers.
Nor will we go ahead and prepare schedules, adver
tisements, follow-up literature,' plans for securing dealers' co
operation, etc. in short, build a complete plan of campaign
entirely on our own initiative.
Campaigns which are planned in this way and O R'd
off hand by the customer with a "Why-do-you-botherme-I-leave-it-all-to-you"
air, we prefer not to be concerned in.
We construct campaigns .based on data ve have
gathered, aided by the close, interested co-operation of the
advertiser. In this way we guard against plans that are ill
advised, -narrow or inadequate.
Besides, the hand of the advertiser himself is needed
in building a campaign to make it well-rounded, comprehen
sive and what is even more important, to add that distinctive
touch of personality which every business house possesses and
which is always evident in advertising that is truly successful.
"Data-built" Copy and "Conference" Campaigns,
combined with confident co-operation between our customers
and ourselves, have developed the highest type of efficiency
in the use of advertising space. '
