Omaha has a wonderful chance to
build a wyaler front park that would
surpass anything of the sort in the
country. Moreover, it is in a part
ot the city whtre land values have'
been almost at a standstill for years
because of tin physical disadvan
tages of the section as a -residence
district in Omaha, and the land men
tioned, for the park, will probably
never dc neeaea or residence pur
pose. These reasons, together,
' make the reclamation of the area
as a municipal park both feasible
' and a municipal duty.
The Carter lake district is the
place.'" Low lying, etese ,to the
business and residence sections,
scenically beautiful, and with one of
the largest lakes in this part of the
' country in its center, .the 'district
would be an ideal place for the de
velopment of a great municipal park
'for the people of Omaha. The pro
posed river boulevard is surveyed
to pass completely around and
v through the district, and as a part
of the river boulevard schenif, the
park would be an excellent leature
x Will Draw Thousands.
Chicago is building up miles of
park space on the shore ot Lake
Michigan, reclaiming the land from
tic lake itself. Chicago is putting
millions of dollars into the work,
merely as an ajuiict to. its park sys
tem. When completed, tue new
oark will draw thousands of visitors
to the city and give to its citizens a
wonderful place for recreation. It
will be worth every cent of money
i. invested to the people of Chicago
and will be a stupendous piece of
advertising for the city.
"For 1 per cent, of the money and
work given to the Chicago project,
Omaha could develop a park that
would be every bit as attractive as
the Giicago scheme, and just as'bis
;n the- advertis'tig way for .Omaha
as the lake park will be for Chicago.
Chicago his one big advantage the
' people of that city are already inter
cs'ed and boofting for the improve
nrnt. Heie, although wc have '.he
opportunity, the people, havj not
seen and seized upon jt! ''
First Improvement.
The first pie of improvement in
'the district besides the clubs which
already oc-upy,grounds-on the, lake.
o-the municipal bath holise which
r.$ just been planned by" the city
I - planning commission, and. whiclj
will be erected this summer. The
bathhouse and boulevard connecting
' it ,vith Shermati avenue, are the first
step toward a development of that
section of Omaha.
The river bcj'rvard will follow
the edge of the Missouri at the south.
?as-and '.orth of the district,, and
. :f all the land enclosed in the boule
.. . vard west 'o Carte? laje were made
, into in immense city park, with ap
propriate plant-tig of trees, shrub
' cry, wid?ning driveways, ball
11 parks, athletic fields, playgrounds,
tenn'is cou'U. a, golf course and
recreation buildings, .the oity would
have apark that would be uflequal
( cd anywhere in the country for at-
factiveness. ' ,
Could Build Lagoons.
. J Ir1 the coiirs of a few years, Car
. .ter lake will prove inadequate for
bathers un'ess "some method of pur
fying the watei is adopted. If the
citv-tQok fold of the territory and
mVe it part of i's j system,
lagoons could be builwhich would,
intt M? water supply pure, or ar-
Wtfsioj wells sui.k. which wouk tur
nisfi'the bstheis, with better, bathniR
faclities than ever before.,
All this mav not 1 be done for
' vear,s. but it will be accomplished
t some time :n the future. It is showft
. -?netely as a scheme for improve
ment that is possible and practic
able. After the river drive is built
the project will be more easily un
Vdcrrtood. Other areas might be
"--fourid which would appeal more to
""Hic people for a park than the Car-
; 4 ter Lake district. None, however,
lrotjld be mor easily utilized for
that purport, and at less expense,
' with hftter resu'ts to be attained.

TIGHT MONEY
PUTS CRIMP IN
SUCKER HUNT
Many Fake Promoters, Un
able to Get Notes Disr- .
counted, Laid.
'' Flat. N .
A flock of promoters of stock sell
ing enterprises have been laid flat on
their backs by the stringent money
market. They are anxiou to start
on a hunt for suckerC but the diffi-
ulty .in getting their notes discount
ed hai'put a, crimp in their business,
according to bankers here. Men in
position to know declare that the
peopJe of Nebraska have put 100,
000,000 - itf) speculative esterpYises
in the last three years and that two-1
thirds of the stock is-worthless. ,.-
It is estimated that more than
$51,000,000 was sunk in this way last
year. , The aftermath is now arriv-
ne, as was indicated in the state
ments 6f Judge Woodrough of the
federal court m the case t the Mis-J
soun Valley Cattle Loan company.
' Dangers Not Realized.
"The dangers of promoting new
businesses are nota realized by the
public," said one man who handles
large sums for investment.
lo coine up from a small begin
ning is the best way for an indus
try. Few enterprises that start out
in a big way to rival established
competition can succeed. This is
often forgotten and we hear stock
salesmen comparing a little business
to one of the few great successes in
its line.
" "Every banker knows that at least
two-thirds of all jiew businesses fail
and only, about one in 25 really suc
ceeds. People will say that the pro
moters are honest men, and well rec-J
ommended, tfut these qualities alone
do Aot insure, success The great-
Ust business ability is required to
Tput new industries on their feet, and'
Pthis'is too often lacking"!
Collect Money, Move On.
"Smooth salesmen will come to
town from Texas or the east and
talk to prospects about the huge
profits the leaders in industry are
making. Often these-profits are as
sailed as being too large, but then
the promoters -turn around and
promise the . same percentage
through the company they ' are
forming. They collect the money
and notes of the investors and move
on. Then we begin getting inquiries
about them from Seattle, San Fran
cisco or other western points,
where they are doing the same thing.,
"Some of these promotion schemes"
pay divide'nds as long as they can
keep selling slock, flffs is taken
out of the money collected frpm
later investors. Th& law should
prohibit the payment of divideifth
until earned. Of course, the blue
sky law is no guarantee of the wis
doirt of an investment, although it is
supposed to guard against fraud.
-Victims in All Classes.
"It is only in the last Wo or three
years, that the people of Nebraska
rhave had a surplus. Good crops and
tair prices for farm products gave
them some capital, and stock sales
men flocked here to take it away
from them. 'sEvery class of citizens
has' fallen victim to the speculative
craze. Preachers, lawyers, farmers
and even business' men have been
the prey of these- stock selling
schemes. As long as money re
mains tight, we will be protected,
but when the situation-eases up, look
out" i . -
Ready to Show New Homes
1 During the Evening Hours
The Mattson & Smails real estate
firm has inaugurated, a new method
in the selling of homes. This firm
has erected a number of horrys on
Fiftieth avenue and Fiftieth street,
jpst south of Farnam, and in order
to show these houses to the prospec
tive buyer who can only visit the
addition in the. evening the lights
in all the houses are connected. This

are kept on until 9 o'clock every evening.

Butter Making
Several Chicago suburbanites who
own a cow or two played a trick on
the dairitineti Jast sunvmcr by pack-

them all winter. Thev arc doing the
same thing'agsin this year, because
it saves several dollars on the win
ter's supply butter.
If butter is to keep for five or six
months during the fall and w-inter
extra car-must be excised in-making,
selecting and packing it. The
fundamental prerequisite in getting
butter that will keep well is to use
sweet cream. Yhile sour cream
may be used, sweet cream adds
ereatlv to the keepiiig qualities and
Ksbould be used wherever available.
The objection to using sweet cream
is Jhat it is more difficult to churn
thai sour creaViNiUt the extra work
in making the butter is worth while.
Butter to be stored must be firm
in texture. The temperature, of the
cream at the time it is churned has
ftnuch to do with this. Of course, the
-firmness also -depends on the way
butter is worked. Use cold water in
washing the butter to remove the
buttermilk. Butto'r wll not keep- well
unless most of the buttermilk is
taken out. For this reason the work
ing should be thorough. However,
overworking must be avoided.' Salt
ing should be done at the rate of
three-fourths of an ounce of salt to
each pound of buttery .'j
.Before the butter .is packed it
slrould be made into one .or two
pound rolls or-' mtHded into brinks.
When packed in this wayJt keeps
better and is of a convenient srze
for wrapping in parch incut paper.
Stone jars are ccmmoii!y"'-usWr for
packing the rolls orv bricks.
lit' making tly? brme'-usc 18 pounds
of common salt, to 50 gallons of
water. The salt is easily dissnjjved by
agitating the mixture in a cnuru for
la minutes. Perhaps a betteF way is
toNboil the mixture1. If this is done,'
do not pour the .solution over th-
butter until it is tfmroughlv cooled.
Weights placed on top will hold the
butter below the brine. More brine
must be added from time to time
as. the water evaporate. Store in
cool place the lower the tempera
ture the better it keeps.
Cutting Corn for Silo
the manure spreader and hauled back
to the fields every year asa result of
using overripe material in filling
silos. The best time to cut corn for
silage should be carefully considered
before filling the silo this fall. .
Overripe corn, dry stalks and
blades of corn, hollow stemmed
plants and ripe weeds, when cut upJ
and blown into the ilo do not pack
well. With such dry material Jhere
is insufficient ffloisture for formenta

which encourages development of

mold. It is suggested that corn be
cut somewhat earlier than has be
come the established practice in
many localities, where it is allowed to
reach a degree of ripeness suitable
for shocking before silo filling is
started.
Ordinarily, , best results are ob
tained when corn is put iito the silo
just -as the kernels become hard. A
good guide is to" start cutting the
corn when the first three or four
leaves near the bottom of the stalk
turn brown a4id husks are beginning
to dry. The drying of the leaves
should be the result of maturity and
not firing. However; if corn is cut
too green the silage tv ill be too acid
ami sour, unpalatable, and will not
kerp well.
The period when corn is at the
proper stage to be stored in the silo
. i -i i .t.- :'
is comparatively snort anu me
Ws often standing empty when the
corn is overripe. In such cases,
where the corn is left standingin the
field until it is quite dry. an abun
dance of water must be added as it is
being puf rn-to the silo. The water
is euner puxen wun wu- main iti
it is blown through the pipe that
leads from the cutter to the silo or
it is sprinkled over each layer during
the process of filling. This makes it
posible to pack the material firmly
and thus exclude the1 air. Ther is
greater danger of getting too little
rather than too much. Add enough
fo moisten every .particle of material

May Call Legislature.
A"In Illinois the governor lias been
rrsked to call a special session of the
legislature to consider the cniesMon
of increased housing facilities. This
rs a problem that I -do not believe
any legislature can solve. I think
the situation must be corrected al
most entirely by private enterprise.
Un January 1, 1920, the country
was two years behind in its build
ing program. That condition ar-
phes to Omaha. I do not believe
that more than 50 per cent of the
normal building program, will be
done in" the year 1920. This will
leave the housing situation two and
one-half years behind by January 1,
1921. m .,

Costs Less in Omaha ;

Four pages of the August issue of
U TJ...M A' T f
me iDuiiusrs journal ot Hoston, a
well-known building magazine, are
devoted to illustration and discus
sion of bungalow building being done
in umaha by the Alacnner Realty
Construction company.
The inagazinc, which is edited by
architectural experts, discusses ail
details of three ditfercnt types of
bungalows. Exterior and floor nlan
illustrations are used. Detailed costs
of each type are given.
The magazine says the Maenner
company has proven that the cubic
foot cost of a bungalow is less than
that of a two-story house. The
bungalow, according to tire-- maga
zine, costs 35 to .18 cents a cubic foot
and the two-story house 45 cents per
cubic foot.
The magazine' also devotes three
paragraphs of editorial comment to
the Maenner motto, "We are build

adequate ventilation and for cooling.
8. The kitchen should average 10
