Investors.
- The Omaha real estate board has
yhder consideration a campaign with
the slogan, "Own your home." The
National Association of Real Estate
Boards has undertaken a campaign
which shall be nation wide and a
number of the principal cities will co
operate. A large sum pf money for
advertising purposes has already been
provided. The whole question will
Receive further consideration at the
meeting of the Omaha board Novem
ber 28.
" There are those on tlie board who
feel that this is not an opportune
time, believing that the cost of build
ing and the call for money for other
purposes may interfere. After an in
teresting debate at the Wednesday
hieetinp, in which the speeches were
decidedly patriotic, a majority of the
members present smed to be of the
opinion that such a campaign would
be right in harmony with the con
svation idea prevailing throughout
tJe country today,
r'fhere is a demand for homes that
is steadily growing and shows a re
vival of interest in this direction com
pared with six months or a year ago,
is the consensus of opinion among
Realtors. A number of realtors re
port more sales of houses built some
time ago than for several years. This
is dfic to the fact that these houses
can be bought cheaper than houses
can be built today and with some
changes are just as modern and in
many cases better built.
Those who build houses to sell as
a business also report increased ac
tivity.. A realtor selling a lot to one
of these builders within the week
found that the increased cost of the
house did not seem to prevent the
purchaser from promptly negotiating

MR. AND MRS.
West Point, Neb., Nov. 16. (Spe
cial.) Thirty-eight years ago Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Schmidt arrived in the
United States from Germany. Tales
of the prosperity of the west were al
luring to them and they turned their
faces toward the setting sun, not
stopping until they reached eNbraska.
Here they found the Mecca they had
sought and settled near West Point,
where they have since resided. Here
they have reared their family and
here November 4 they celebrated the
fiftieth anniversary of their marriage.
The anniversary was the occasion

for a family reuiuon that was at
tended by children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren.
To Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt were
born six children, three boys and
three girls, as follows: Paul Schmidt,
Belden; Peter Schmidt Bancroft and
Steve Schmidt, West Point; Mrs. Al
bert Sellertine, Belden; Mrs. Anton
Rasmussen, Omaha and Mrs. William
Ackerman, Omaha.
Besides the six children present at
the anniversary and reunion were the
20 grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.
stances in which houses that cost
$500 to $1,000 more than a year or
two years ago were immediately
taken. The inference was that the
purchaser is getting more money for
his service, has made more money
out of his investments and thinks the
future is safe and prosperous. It is
the general opinion of those who are
building that the cost of building will
not be sufficiently diminished in the
next two of three years to make
much difference and thJt the home
less people are getting more money
for their services than ever hetor.
IRRIGATE WITH WAR

Is Certain Way to Get Surr

V X
(from a Stuff Corrvapondent t
Lincoln, Nov. 17. (Special.) Pay
ment by the government of the ex
pense of all irrigation projects from
the next war appropriation is the
proposition that Land Commissioner
Shumway advocates, conditioned upon
the irrigated area being put into crops,
in a statement issued today. Speaking
of the rnatter, he says in part:
"The country wants wheat, aud that
is a wheat country out west. The
country wants sugar, and the sugar
beets grow best in the higher sunlit
altitudes. A half a billion dollars will
irrigate 10,000.000 acres, but let us
say 5,000,000 acres. An acre of irri
gated wheat will yield 30 sacks of
flour per acre, or 1,500 one-pound
loaves.
"Irrigated beets will yield 40 sacks
of sugar per acre. Every acre will sup
ply 50 people, a normal 80 pounds per
year. A million acres of beets means
80 pounds per capita for 50,000,000
Seople. A million acres of wheat, 30,
00,000 sacks of flour, or 1,500,000,000
loaves of bread. -That still would
leave 3,000,000 acres for further sup
plies." Kentucky Methuselah
Plans His Own Funeral
W. T. Ficklin of Paris, Ky., who
is in his 90th year, prides himself on
being eccentric. It has been his fad
for many years to do things different
ly from other people.
Recently, feeling that his days on
earth were numbered, he made all ar
rangements for his funeral. These ar
rangements will be carried out by a
friend to whom he intrusted his plans.
Purchasing a lot in the Paris ceme
tery, he arranged with a local monu
ment carver to have his likeness cut
on his tombstone and the date of his
birth, leaving the date of death blank.
Ficklin had his photograph taken
leaning against his tombstone. He
was especially pleased over the fact
that he has been able to visit his own
biirial place and study his features on
his own gravestone.
In lengthy instructions to his executors-to-be
he provides for his funeral
as follows: "The funeral is to he held
in the Paris Opera house, with v
noted free thinker delivering the ora
tion. No signs of mourning are to be
indulged in, but he desires all present
to have a good time. Refreshments
are to be served to the women pres
ent, with cigars to the men. At the
conclusion of the opera house cere
monies the body is to beTaken to the
cemetery, the cortege being headed
by two brass bands playing alternate
ly "Dixie," the 'Star Spangled Ban
ner' and his oldtime favorite, There'll
Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To
night.'" N'o services are to be held at the
grave other than a concert by the
band, no sacred music being permis
sible. Philadelphia Ledger.
Shells With Scissors to
Cut Wire Entanglements
There seems no limit to what the
new shells can do. One of the latest
shells has a sort of scissors attach
ment which, when released by the ex
plosion, will cut through the strong
est wire entanglements. Another re
leases a number of short chains when
it explodes. These chains are sure to
wreck anything they touch.
The scissors shell has an opening in
tlie casing through which the cutting
arms project. They are slightly re
cessed in order to avoid wind resist
ance. The arms are attached near
the nose of the projectile. They are
mounted on steel studs in such a
manner that they can rock and ex
pand in order to throw the free ends
outward toward the base of the shell.
The chain shell is constructed simi
larly except that short chains arc
wound around the gaine and separa
ted by disks which keep them in place
until the projectile is emptied. Some
times the chains are weighted heavily
at the ends. When the explosion
takes place the chains fly out with
fearful force and in addition to. their
high-speed forward movement they
rotate rapidly. Needless to say, where
they hit something, there is nothing
left. Popular Science Monthly.
