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,-

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.

.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?

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.
