ALL LOTS ON GRADE
There Is often a confusion In the mind of
a prospective home builder as to how to
decide upon a plan for the home. Borne
will send for all the catalogues of plans
they know of with the idea of selecting
from one of thema plan sulred to their
needs. If the house desired Is small, the
plans desired are sometimes found, but it
very seldom occurs in medium sized or
large homes that another individual in an
other part of the country should happen
to have had arranged for them a plan and
exterior design entirely suited to the fam
ily needs which can be built for exactly
the amount which the prospective home
builder desires to spend. For this reason
the home builders will sometimes select a
certain plan which suits them In part and
expect to cover the various changes desired
in an arrangement with the contractor.
This method invariably leads to mistakes
and misunderstandings and the results are
seldom satisfactory. It is therefore better
to have the plans entirely redrawn to
meet the requirements, instead of trying
to get along on an Inaccurate set of plans.
So far as the number of details Is con
cerned, there is no difference between a
complete stock set of plans and a complete
special set of plans. To answer frequent
Inquiries as to what should constitute a
set of plans the following condensed de
scription of what complete plans, as fur
nished by all competent architects, consist
of. Is given.'
Complete plans consist of the basement,
first and second floor plans and a plan of
the roof, when necessary, also elevations
of all four sldea of the house. These all
accurately drawn to a working scale of
one-quarter Inch to the foot Always one
and sometimes two to five sheets of
structural details and details of design de
pending upon the slie of the house. These
drawn to a very large scale, with the
most Important details and mouldings
drawn full slse. It Is upon these details
that so much depends the proper construc
tion and artistic design of the house. A
partial list of the details Is as follows:
Cornces, porch details, sections through
windows and doors, elevations of doors
and windows, full size details of door and
window finish, elevations of fireplaces,
stairs, pantry fixtures and other details,
eto. The floor plans show the proper ar-J
rangement of rooms, doers, windows, fire
places, etc., with all necessary measure
ments accurately given, which are many.
Showing proper location of registers or
radiators, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures
and many other things, aa the proper con-

The question la often asked, "Where d
stock plans come from; are they some
other man's special plans?" This Is a
question which most so-called architects
who conduct a stock plan business would
rather not answer, for as a matter of fact
the writer Is the only one In the profes
sion conducting a stock plan buslno.su with
out confiscating for that purpose the spe
cial plans of previous clients. The program
Is usually this: A man has a special sot
of plans drawn to meet his own Ideas of
a home and his individual requirements.
He spends weeks with his architect In
perfecting these plans In order to get the
most for his money and as attractive and
convenient a home as possible. It includes
all the little family Ideas; there Is the
oriol window which the daughter wants,
the fireplace which his wife has her heart
set on and the den and study for the son.
He pays the architect for this special serv
ice, which is, of course, more than
charged for stock plans. After the plans
are complete Mr. Stock Plan Architect ad
vertises these plans for sale In a cata
logue for $5, S10 and $15. This is not right.
It is not dealing with the man who had
these floor plans made for him and paid
for them, honestly. They are his plans;
they are not the architect's plans and he
has no right to sell them again. The only
honest way to conduct a stock plan busi
ness is for the architect to get up his own
stock plans after his own Ideas to fill
various requirements, stand the expense of
preparing these plans himself. They are
then his plans; they do not belong to some
previous client. He can then sell the priv
ilege of building from these plans to whom
ever he pleases at any price and as many
times as he pleases, provided that each
man who purchases the right to build from
plans so prepared distinctly understands
that the privilege is reserved. to reproduce
them. There Is only one way of telling if
an architect is selling the special plans of
his clients; that Is to carefully examine the
Illustrations which he publishes and see If
they are actual photographs or reproduced
from water-color sketches. If they are
actual photographs, then this architect (if
he offers the plans for sale) Is not dealing
with his clients honestly.
If you Intend to build a home which
will cost W.000 or over be sure and have
specially drawn plans prepared to fill all tt
your individual requirements. There Is
but a very remote chance of your being
able to find a set of ready-made plans that
will fill your .requirements In a house of
this size. For houses coming less than
M.000 it is often possible to find a desirable
plan, for the requirements are not so
many, and a desirable, simple arrange
ment can sometimes be found which will
fill all requirements.
But remember! Do not under any con
sideration buy a plan because of Its price,
or engage an architect simply because of
his price. It Is not what you pay for plans,
but what you get, that Is the Important
consideration.
You have several thousand dollars which
you are going to Invest In a home, a home
to live in possibly the rest of your life,
the home you have dreamed of for years.
Be sure you Invest yoyr money wisely
start right. .

The Payne Investment company has
made. prosres:i In the sale of tlx Irrigated
land In Scott's Bluff county. The sales to
date, representing a little over six week
of the campaign, amount to 8 000 acres,
which sold for a little over $600,000. The as
surance of a beet sugar factory has as
sisted materially In the sale of these lands,
and It Is predicted that within five years
a number of factories will be located In
this valley.
It la a noticeable fact that most of the
buyers of these lands are farmers wh-j
intend to go on the land and improve it,
which means a lot for the community.
Many of these farmers come from Iowa
and some from Illinois, all of which mean
something for Nebraska, and which Ye
mlnds us that the old-time idea of people
In the east that Nebraska was all sand
hills has been exploded long ago, with the
satisfactory results of Improvement in
farming; also that Nebraska has some as
high-priced lands as any state In the unlun,
under similar conditions.
Jewel place Is the name given by George
& Co. to an acreage tract in Bellevue,

Jewel place Is offered, which is $80 down
and $50 every six months. With such an
offer many of the tracts were sold at about
I. 00 per acre. The place Is historic and
sightly, Indian mounds and big trees are
everywhere yid Jewel place is not over
forty minutes from Omaha.

E MORTGAGE IS DUE
This notice comes to the man who borrows money on
a straight mortgage due in five or ten years, and he is
seldom ready to meet it. When the mortgage is given tho
payment of same at maturity looks an easy matter, but it is
no easier then than now, and the mortgage is renewed from
time to time.
The man who borrows the money from this Associa-
tioh pays the interest and the PRINCIPAL back in small
monthly installments no larger than the usual charge for
rent. There is no dreaded day when the mortgage falls due,
for each months sees it reduced until cancelled.

ONE USE FOR A PARROT
Candid AdntUalon of a Slan Who
Lacked the Ksaence of
Happiness.
We are all striving for two things -success
and happiness. To get these many of
us are struggling for a third fortune. In
striving to attain our desires many of Us
need a green parrot. Out In a little town in
Iowa. In the midst of a great stretch of
timber and meadow, a man built a castle.
Something over tSi.OGO he spent in building
a home. It was finished within with the
flnlst polished woods. The foundation was
of brown stone, the windows of French
plate, and every detail was carried out In
the best manner. He had grown to be an
old mun. He had always lived in a modest
cottage of six rooms. This mansion had
fifteen. On one side there was a magnifi
cent stone arch over the paved drive th.it
led up to the house. He had Just completed
showing a friend over the place and
reached this point, when the visitor ex
claimed: "Well, John, you ought to be happy. This
is a magnificent home. Here is everything
one could v Ish for."
"Waal," replied the old man, who was a
cattle buyer, "a fellow always wants some
thing else."
"What on earth could you want?" was
the query.
"A green parrot to hang up thar in the
drive."
"Why a green parrot?"
"So every mm ning afore I drive out ha
would say: 'John, you're a darn fool.' "
