Demand For Homes
Greater Now Than
!For Many Years
Realtor Estimates That Over
2,000 Lots Have Been Pur
chased Here This Year
. Sites For;. Homes.
Old-time realtors are practically
unanimous in their opinions that the
demand for residences lots and
acreage has been greater this year
than at any time since the boom
days 30 years ago. '
L. P. Campbell of the Byron Reed
company says 2,000 lots and sepa
rate acres purchased at Omaha this
year is a conservative estimate.
These purchases have been in
every part of the city and have been
made by all classes of citizens.
"The best thing about this," Mr.
Campbell said, "is that a large ma
jority of the purchasers are persons
expecting to use their property as
a site for a home. They realize also
that vacant real estate, as it is now
priced, is without question the safest
kind of investment; also that it is
certain to increase in value.' Un
improved real estate has advanced
in price less than any other staple
commodity, and it is the only com
modity of whtch there is a. limited
supply. No more of it can be man
ufactured. "The public is beginning to un-
rlorctanH that with a limitprl SUnnlv
and constantly increasing demand
the price will go up."
Some of the firms that have4' con
ducted an unusually large business in
unimproved lots and acreage this
year include the Flack interests, J.
H. Kopietz, W. Farnam Smith com
pany, Shuler &.Cary, the Byron
Reed company, Hastings &V Heyden,
and the Slater company. !

the Slater company.
The vacant lot market in many
other localities Jn the country has
been similar to that in Omaha, ac
cording to officers of the N. P.
Dodge company, which has sold
several thousand lots this year , in
different parts of the country, most
ly in the eastern states. By the end
of the year the Dodge company will
have held vacant lot sales in ap
proximately 30 different cities of the
country.

What to Know in
Building a Home
Answers to Questions.
1. Built-in furniture, . especially
bookcases and very often side
boards, are much in favor with many
persons. It should be remembered,
however, that a carpenter is not a
cabinet maker, and, hence, is liable
to do a mediocre job or to be obliged
to charge so much more than such
furniture can be purchased for in
stores. As a general rule built-in
furniture, therefore, is not desirable.
2. The best kind of paint for ex
teriors is one in which permanent
coloring materials are ground into
a white paint base. Such tinted paint
will not so readily chalk and crack
and thus will have longer life than
pure white paint. rll best paints
have white lead or zinc-oxide as
their base.
3. Sleeping porches too often are
like the winter-morning cold bath
more talked about than used. Unless
the fanily intends to use it, a sleep
ing porch should be omitted'. If
built it should be so located as to
get the air on three sides and win
dows so arranged that direct storms
may be shut out while full supply
of air is provided. Over the garage,
if connected to the house, or over
a sunroom or open porch, is a good
location.
4. Casement windws are best' for
sleeping porch and sunroom. Have
them swung on double hinges so
they will open either out or in and
provide for securing them when open
by dne of the many devices now
sold, the best being those which wilt
permit opening so large or small a
distance as is desired.
' 5. If the bathroom does not have
tiled walls it is best to paint both
walls and ceiling. Wall paper should
not be used where, there' is milch
moisture.
6. Provision for dry beds in the
sleeping porch may be made by
having one end or side closable and
heated so beds may be rolled into
that compartment when not in use.
7. Careful tests by the U. S. gov
ernment in all climatic conditions
have shown that exterior paint wears
more rapidly in summer than in any
other season.
8. Never use yellow ochre as a
painting coat for the house exterior.
The best coat of priming is one of
lead or zinc-oxide.
9. The best time to paint a house
is just before it begins to need it.
A new house should not be painted
until the interior plastering is dry..
Otherwise the moisture coming
through is likely to cause the paint
to blister or crack or peel.
10. Every house should have three
good coats of good paint to make
a good job. Never fewer than two
coats should be considered.
This Week's New Questions.
1. How can I be sure to get the
best oak floors? Are borders used?
2y What kind of window and door'
sills should be put in a brick house?
3. Is a driveway jointly on prem
ises side by side desirable?
4. - Should a house ' be wired
whether electricity is to be used
immediately or not? Why?
5. What kinds of roofing are rec
ommended by authorities?
6. What are the advantages of an
outside chimney built up from the
ground?
7. How can one be certain of title
to his lot?
8. What is a land contract? A
deed?
9. Items to look out for in buy
ing a lot?
10. What kind of water heater
should be installed? ( 1

Carries Two Watches.
Newton, Mass., Sept. 18. Attor
ney General Gooding Carroll, ad
mitting he is still puzzled by "day
light saving" when he wants to
catch a train, states that he carries
two watches, one set by railroad,
the other by daylight saving time.
"As myt neighbors consult me as I
have clients," he said, "and I'm pret
ty busy."
