Very Handy Five-Room Cottage

& The Home Builder &
Cut Out All Weeds
and Wild Grasses
to Keep Up the Lawn
On of the ' most Important points In
keeping the Un look In well la to cut
out all weeda and wild trrassee. An ss
pararus knife makea a good imp'ement
for this purpose: regular wM knife or
pud may be had at a reasonable trlce.
For the small lawn an old kitchen knlfo
W0.1 do. But cut deep, and above all never
let weeds or undesirable grasses go
awed. Borne of the worst, eurh as era
grass, are annuals, which ran soon ba
lasted If they are. never allowecj t feed.
The frequent use of a-roller ia one of
the most effective means of getting and
keeping a first-class tt'un. Mow fre
quently, but not too close. Have neat,
well-kept edges; an edger, which may be
(hoUght for 60 or 71 cents, and a good
harp boe are the only tools necessary.
In trimming edges a mistake very com
monly made la to go bark too far Into
the sod, leaving a little bank of dirt sev
eral Inches high. This dries up very
quickly and Is easily broken down by
every wheel or shoe that touches It.
Keep your roads and paths as narrow as
Possible. They will look bolter and will
3
be murh f reef" from Weeds or grass.
The rane fruits, such as raspberries and
blackberries, often Inrrease themselves
both by the rooting of the tips of ranea
where they touch the ground and by In
creasing at the roots. Consequently lit
an old bed enough atrong young plants
may b found to make a new planting In
the spring. Or the tips may be bent
down to form new plants, being held In
Flare by pegs or stones and covered with
soil, Many other things, such a cur
rants, gooseberries and grape, may be
layered In murh the same way. Hard
wood cuttings of iranjr of the 'ornamental
shrubs that were made last fall, and have
been wintered In the cellar or outdoors
under a mulch, should be planted In sn
upright position in a long, narrow trench
or furrow where drainage Is perfect. It
is a good plan to add some sand to the
soil. Tut the heel or larger end down,
Huch cuttings are sometimes burled for
the winter with the big end up to Indued
callusing. Two or three buds or eyes
should be left above ground. Btlr the
soli about the cuttings occasionally to
prevent the formation of a rruat. As
dry weather cornea on they should be
watered once' In a while. . When well
rooted they may be transplanted to other
rows or Into iots, or may be left to
make a season's growth before being set
in permanent places. Plenty of room
should be allowed, as some of the more
rapid growing kinds make a surprising
growth during the first season.

The plan shown today la one of tho
newest designs of the familiar five-room
cottage so popular In and about Omaha.
It Is very economical to build and con
veniently arranged. The living room Is
across the front of the house and directly
in front of the dining room. The kitchen
Is back of the dining room, with built-in
pantry cupboards and entry for Ire. This
plan ia different from the ordinary five-1
room cottage, In that the bed rooms are
at each side of the bath loom and con
nected by a hall that also opens Into
the kitchen and dinning room. The di
mensions of the house are 24x40 and the
rooms are all of good size and 'nine-foot
ceilings.
' Note the arrangement of the vestihulo
and the small coat closet directly off of
It and the closet for the front bed! room
behind that. Also note the built-in buf
fet and bookcase pedestals between the
dining room and living room. t .
This home makes a good one for a
young couple Just starting to keep house,
for It Is large, enough to meet their re
quirements and not too large for the
young housekeeper.
The above plan Is front the 'offices it

Sir Horace Plunkett of Dublin Pur
chase! Some More Business
Property in City.
PLANS TO ERECT BUILDINGS
If there ia any on nonresident who
has kept his finger on the pulse of real
estate values in the Nebraska metropolis
more persistently ' than has Horace
Plunkett. the Dublin landlord, Omaha
real eft ate men are not able to nauio
him. Sir Horace as a millionaire has had
large property holdings in Omaha for a
great many years. Occasionally he soils
a piece here, but most of them he holds
and watches the values grow and the
rents increase.
Although Sir Horace spends most of
his time in Dublin and only once In a
period of years chances to come to
Omaha, he has not been blind and deaf
to the fart that real estate is substantial
here and that values have experienced
sn upward tendency recently. Ho has
not been blind to the fact that the heart
of the city ia Just now unfolding and be
ing developed with a burst perhaps never
before experienced in any one year.
Meekinsi More Barejataa,
With aU these things lp. mind. Sir
Horace has authorised his Omaha ageut.
Conrad Young, to get In the harness and
do a little business for him here. He has
authorised him apparently to get In the
big game of transactions being played
and pocket a few deeds before they are
all pocketed.
During the last week there has been a
renewal of Plunkett activity in Omaha
real estate transactions. Sir Horacu
bought the lots Just east of the (?roune
block at (Sixteenth and Capitol avenue.
whii-h he already owned. He has an- I
thorised his Omaha agent to tear down
the Crouns block and hulljf a bigger
structure, covering both '"the present
Crounse lot and the lot he has Just pur
chased. This will be done as . soon as
satisfactory arrangements are made with
prospective tenants. -
The price paid for the lot was not made
nubile. Qore the week was out there
name to light another purchase made by
Horace Pluukett. This time he acquired
the brick store and flat building at the,
northeast corner of Twenty-seventh and
Leavenworth streets from M. H. Kills.
The property was valued at 1,(A) in t'.i
transaction, which Included a trade of
the store and flat building at l&U North
Twentieth street, it being traded In at a
valuation or ,$10,000.
On the whole, the Investments of Plr
Horsce Plunkett In Omaha property dur
ing the last week prnbrbly represented
I7S.0 or $100,000.
Harrison Talks
Against the Signs
"The City National bank and the State
hank building companies should be com
mended for their attitude in not allow
ing big signs to extend out over the
sidewalks," said C. F. Harrison, speak
ing to the Real Estate exchange. "They
have taken the lead In this movement
la Omaha, and It ought to be appreciated
by the people who want a neater and
cleaner looking city." I know personally
that tho State bank building lost a tea
ant. It could have, had Just because the
manager would not allow the tenant to
use an overhanging sign."
Mr. Harrison spoke. . of the advanced
steps ' some of the ' eastern cities had
taken- In the sign matter, and asserted
that It gives a city a. decidedly neat,
clean and trim appearance. Bo do away
vith, the overhead signs.
