The Payne Investment company one of Omaha's biggest land opera tors, is this year dealing in an ex tensive scale at Albert Lea, Minn. Besides a big reclamation project involving the drainage of 14,000 acres of swamp land, the Payne In vestment company has bought and sold in the last six weeks more than $1,500,000 worth of farm lands. The drainage proposition is being operated by a syndicate capitalized at $1,000,000 and formed by George H. Payne, member of the Payne In vestment company. Mr. Payne's son, Richard F Payne, is. general superintendent of the development work. The syndicate now has in opera tion on its swamp land 12 tractors mat cost so.uuu apiece, ana one ditching machine which cost $25,000. A force of 100 men is emplpyed. inree tirms ot civil engineers have been retained to advise the syn dicate about the engineering prob lems of the undertaking. It will be two years before this land is ready for sale and use ac cording to Mark Martin, general manager of the Payne Investment company. , The farm buying and selling busi ness ot the rayne company near Al bert Lea is being directed by R. A Wolgamot, who has a force of 15 salesmen, each one of whom is equipped with a new automobile. The Payne Investment company is the same institution which in 1917 and 1918 sold 42,395 acres of farms at Lake Charles, La., to 272 pur chasers, who paid a total of $1,503,- My Heart and My Husband ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife" I , Thrace Greeks Protest.

NO. 9 Limited Supply and Growing Demand of an indestructible and necessary commodity, make ownership of that com modity a desirable investment This condition---Limited Supply and Growing Demand applies to Omaha Real Estate, AN INVESTMENT IN OMAHA REAL ESTATE IS SAFE, PAYS A GOOD IN COME AND INCREASES IN VALUE. Statement No. 9: Scarcely a day passes any more during which . there is not one or more calls at the Real Estate Board office by men who say something to this effect; "I want to get into business in Omaha, i but I can't find a location. I've been to most of the rental agencies, but they give me no en couragement. Can you help me find some thing?" Usually we can't help him. The reason is that new business is coming to Omaha so. rapidly ' there is no place to house it. More business means more people, and thus growing values in Real Estate. SOME NEW EXAMPLES: January 16, 1919, Michael Schollenbarger bought 2528 South Tenth street for $3,800; he sold it July 29, 1919, for $4,850 cash. E. J. Bunnell, latter part of 1918, bought 3009 South Thirty-third street from C. G. Carlberg for $4,250, on terms. He sold it this month to W. L. Randall for $5,200 cash. W. T. Graham, the first of this month bought a residence on ground 80x160, south of Farnam on Thirty-third for $12,000. He sold it ten days later to E. P. Bennet for $16,000. NOTE The Omaha City Planning Board, an organization of public-spirited men that work for no salary, is laying plans for a city of 500,000 in ten years. OMAHA REAL ESTATE BOARD Omaha, Nab, U. S. A. SOS South ISth St. .What Alice Holcombe Convinced Madge She Believed. "Why don't you speak?" Alice Holcombe demanded fiercely. "It can't be possible that you that you" Will you stop this nonsense at once?' I retorted with two pur posed irascibility in my manner. I wished to conceal mv real uneasi ness at her tidings, and I counted upon the natural resentment she would probably feel at my rudeness to divert her thoughts from the track they were traveling. But the obsession of danger to the man she cared for so devotedly waa too strong upon her for any side-tracking ot her thoughts. "I v.ish it were nonsense." she said mournfully, then swiftly seized my hand in a crip that hurt. "Tell m; you don't believe Kenneth had anything to do with. It was no time tor a Puritanical searching of my soul as to my thought? or convictions. My reply was prompt, emphatic. "Of course I don't; but people will begin to believe that he had if you his best friend don t pull yourseli together. You don't know that Mrs. Stockbridge's people are trying to blame him. and every repetition of such a guess upon your paart is distinctly harmful to him. 1 o you imagine tor one second that I'm breathing such thought to anyone but yourself? Do you think 1 would hint it to vou were you not already more familiar with the whole wretched story than any one else outside the family and mer Her One Fear. Her voice shrilled passionately at me. Before I couud answer she spoke again, this time with dull list less tones "But I do know they're going to blame him. They were planning even while she lay there to take her bodv to her father s house "Why, that is perfectly natural," I interposed, impatiently. "Surely, everyone would wish to get as far way from that house as possible. "That's all right," she retorted, "but they were planning it without even the pretence of-consulting Ken neth. They absolutely ignored him, and I noticed that they did not speak to him or he to them unless it was an absolute necessity. Strange Facts. "i hat does look odd. I saw that any attempt of mine to belittle her conviction only strengthened I might as well speak my real thoughts where I dared to do so. Youd think so it you d seen them." she said bitterly. Then her voice hoarsened. "The miserable wretches!" she cried. "All of these years they've been glad enough to nave their daughter off their hands, to shift the horrible burden of her to Kenneth Stockbridge's patient shoulders. It's beeen Ken, dearest,' and our dear son and How wise and patient he is with poor Milly." And now they're ready to turn on hin like so many wolves!" I don t understand it. I said half to myself. "Didn't you tell me that it was to her people that Mr. Stockbridgee always appealed when she gol too unmanageable, and that then they arranged tor her stay in a sanatorium? Of course," she retorted. That was simply self-protection. When Millv took one of her temper sprees she was just as apt to empty a boil ing teakettle over the member of the family nearest to her as (he was to do anything else. She did throw a lighted lamp at her mother once, just missed her, but started a lively little fire that kept the whole family busy for a time." What an awful woman she was! The exclamation broke, from the despite my natural compunction at speaking ill of the dead. I hat doesn t nait express it! Alice Holcombe's tone was distilled biUerncss. "And to think that her malevolence hasn't stopped with her death, but is reaching out still to you and me. The Question That Sorely Troubled Madge. If I had not been secretly prepar ing myself to hear almost anything concerning the mysterious death of Millv Stockbridee I think that I should have betrayed ''What I knew at Alice Holcombe's astounding as sertion. As it was, I repressed my start of dismay, simply asked the very natural question: "What m the worm are you taiK- ing about?" "I know vou thinK im as de mented as poor Milly was," she re plied, "but you must be patient with me. I've never in my life had such shock as was mine when Milly s sister sent for me tonight" I realized that I had made a blunder in trying to question her, that I had only confused her in stead of aiding her, and I hastened to rectify my mistake. Suppose you begin at tne oegin- ning and tell me the entire story, said soothine v. ihen I can get the whole thing clear in my mind, and we can decide what is best to do." I "Kenneth has already, decided," she said, and the little speech so puzzled me that I had to flog my wandering brain to pay attention to the tale Alice rioicomDe began without further 'delay. "It was about 7jiQ o clock wbcui Mrs. Watkins, a neighbor of Milly's called me up saying that Milly was dead, and that her sister wanted me to come straight to the house. It seems that they had tried to get me before, but I didn't get in trom that little business trip I spoke to you about this afternoon, until just two or three minutes before she called. I went right over and " "Wait a moment 1" I put up' a protesting hand with the remem brance of the two or three mouth fuls, a poor trifle for even a canary, which I had seen my friend swal low at luncheon, "When did you dine?" "I didrl't dine," she retorted, "but for goodness sake don't speak to me of food!" "I'm not going to now." I fin ished the sentence under my breath. "I simply wished to know. Go on." "When I got there the house seemed filled with people. Milly was lying on a couch, and her mother and sisters were shrieking and moaning over her. They're the kind that cannot seem to control their grief, must make a show of it I don't mean that as censure they can't help it probably, but you know what I mean." "Yes, I know," I have experienced the type to which Milly Stock- bridge s relatives belong. "They rushed at me the moment I got in you know I was the oldest friend Milly had, made me look at her poor, contorted mouth, and the marks on her wrists, wanted to know if I had noticed anything queer about her lately, and when I had last seen her. I told them that she had come to school to luncheon a few days ago, and at that time she seemed to be in good spirits. I hope I'm forgiven for the lie, although, for that matter, I did not see her that day except when she was in good spirits. It was lucky they didn't have you to question." I silently confirmed her assertion, prayed that I might never be ques tioned as to that day, listened intent ly for the rest of my friend's story. "And then they set up their cry ing again, and kept exclaiming nois ily, over and over again: 'Milly never did it herself. She was forced to take it.' "Of course, they didn't mention Kenneth's name, but I could tell that it was an awful thing for him to hear just the same. I never saw so color less and despairing a face on any hu man being. He was attending to all the little details, answering any questions that were asked him. "His story was that he came home this afternoon, and after remaining a little while went to his tather-in- law's on an errand, and that when he returned he found her lying on the floor before her 5 o'clock tea table and the couch. He said he thought she was breathing when he picked her up, and that he tried several restorations, thinking she had faint ed. Then he tried to get Dr. Irons, but had to so to a neighbor's to tele phone, as he found theirs out of or der. What did you say? "I didn't sav anything," I return ed, hoping she had not noticed my involuntary start at her words. But beating upon my brain was the question: What had out the Stockbridge telephone flrtit of commission so sud denly? (Continued Tomorrow) New Autumn Fashions Are Foretold by Omaha Buyer Mary Krebbs, head cloak RINGER SAYS RECALL SIGNERS JAIL RECORD Admits He Has Made Mis takes, But He Says it Was Because He Took a Chance. Mrs. and suit buyer for the Union Outfit ting company, has just returned from an extensive stay in New York City, during- which she visited many of the leading fashion'designcrs. In a forecast of autumn styles, she says that frocks 'and gowns foretell vogue for bouffant etfects and short sleeves. Notably new, day time dresses are those of rich satins in tailored simplicity. Partiality is also shown duvetyne, poiret twill and tricolette. Rare designs and novel color com binations are seen in suits which favor wider skirts and longer coats. In waists, the new idea is the but terfly blouse on which a deep, ac cordeon frill, pleated, forms the low round neck. Tricolette will be in high favor. Makes Big Profit on House and Lot in One Month W. T. Graham, who purchased the May residence on Thirty-third street just south of the Potter apartments on farnam, the first of this month for $12,000, has sold the property to Edward P. Bennett for $16,000. Mr. Bennett will live in the house. The ground has an 80-foot front age on Thirty-thiM street and is 160 teet deep. Yliss Summers Sells Lot on South Thirteenth Street The old Salvation Army Working Men's Home at 418 South Thir teenth street, owned for many years by Miss Caroline Summers, sister of Dr. J. E. Summers, has been sold by the Byron Reed company to Waters-Barnhardt . Printing com pany for $7,750. There is a building on the property which is occupied by the printing company. J. Dean Ringer, police commis sioner, speaking from the pulpit of Plymouth Congregational church Sunday morning, asserted that he could disclose the jail records of many of the signers and circulators of the recall petition; that he would not say that all of the signers are thugs and bums, but he would say that many are interested in gam bling, bootlegging and prostitution. "I think that the recall petition is the best evidence of the work that has been done by the police depart ment, when we consider the person nel of the men behind the recall," the police commissioner said, add ing: "I pay no attention to the snap ping of yellow curs who bark at our heels as we walk along the street." He also made this statement: "It has taken some time to make the police department understand that when an order goes out from the city hall, the order means just what it says and that it is not subject to private interpretation. We do not intend to fool the public by giving out one order in public and another in private, as was done so frequently under former conditions. The mem bers of the police department under stand that an order these davs H ..... " imeans just what it reads. 1 "Heard So Much About." The police commissioner was in troduced by J. K. McCombs, chair man of the board of trustees of the church, as "the man we have heard so much about." Referring to the police department during his discourse, Mr. Ringer said: "There was a time when the police did not dare to raid a place unless told it would be all right, be cause they feared they would be transferred to outside beats by the 'silent king.' When I took hold of the department there were some honest members who wanted' to en force the laws, but they did not dare to do so. I have given the men to understand that they will have the backing of the department when they enforce the,, laws. "The city of Omaha is cleaner and better today than it has been for many years. The police department morale is 100 per cent better than it was three months ago. A straight forward program is in considera tion. The problem is to set your mind to a purpose and a plan and hen carry it out. Admits Mistakes. "I know that I make mistakes and so do you, the difference being that your mistakes are not published so widely. Our purpose has been to do things and take a chance now and then of making a mistake. Our idea is to carry out a program consistent ly, that something may be accom plished for Omaha. "The statement that the police de partment went along as well while I was away as when I was here, shows how well it was organized. "If we would have paid any atten tion to unjust attacks we would not have had any time for the improve ment of conditions. Progress is being made in the department, oth erwise the men who are behind the recall would not be so zealous to overturn this administration." Praises Eberstein. Mr. Ringer declared that Chief of rolice fcberstein should receive. some of the credit for recnt improve ment in police department affairs. "I think that a man in public life should do as little talking as possi ble, and should saw wood as much as possible, and that is what I am endeavoring to do. Some criticize us for whaj we do and others criti cize us for what we do not do," he added.

The latter hold-up was staged at Twenty-second and H streets. A lone bandit held up and robbed Emanuel Sraga, 1014 South Twen tieth street, of $14 in cash and his watch about 10 , o'clock? Saturday night near Twentieth and Harney streets. After taking Mr. Sraga's watch and money the man followed his victim for more than a block, threatening him if he should make an outcry.
