Two Types of Farm
Buyers in Market
Two separate kiuds of farm buy
ers were developed by recent busi
ness, according to iJ. J. Adams o:
the W. F. Shelton Land company.
These two types of buyers, ac
cording to Mr. Adams, are, first, the
purchaser buying on amortization
a t f f a (1? A
plan, taKing jrom ju 10 u years w
pay for the land; the other is the
bargain hunter. According to Mr.
Adams, most of the amortization
buyers are renters, who want to be
come land owners on this plan. The
' bargain buyera, he said, are capital
ists with money enough to pay cash
for land priced. below its actual
value.
Mr. Adams has sold several farms
this year in western Nebraska and
eastern Colorado. According to Mr.
Adams, conditions in farm commun
ities are better than they hare been
iXJ8 months. He predicts a slow
but steady improvement.
Too Early to Plow if Land
on Garden Slopes to Nortb
Wait a week or two to play or
spade your garden ground if your
land slopes to the north or is a
little high. .
This advice was given to the Real
Estate board last week by S. B.
Stewart, veteran garden man. v
He said it is now warm enough
to prepare soutli slope or level
ground for gardens, especially the
nardy plants, such as v onions, blue
grass, clover, potatoes, etc.
Bought Lot Year Ago for
' $5,000; Sells for $9,000
Walter Johnson last week sold the
northeast corner of Fiftieth and
Dodge streets to Dr. L. R. battler,
dentist, for $9,500. Mr. Johnson, a
little over a year ago, paid $5,000 tor
this propertyv which is unimproved.
Dr. Sattler intends to improve the
property and establish his dental
business at this location. .
E. M. Slater Returns
'E. M. Slater returned last week
from California, where he spends the
winters. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Slater andt their son, Sumner.

The foundation tut, 24x36. which ii the most popular size for city
lots, is used for this home. On this foundation, five good rooms and
bath, double stairs and every convenience are provided. Every room has
good light and ventilation. The bedrooms and closets are roomy. The
buffet recess gives every advantage of a room two feet wider. The kitchen
cupboard and work bench, refrigre.itar alcove, and the location of the
cellar stairs opposite the rear door make the housework easy.
The exterior is planned to give a cozy, attractive appearance, without
expensive ornament. Nothing could be more simple, but it doesn't look
box-like cither. It's a thoroughly convenient, attractive, economical and
homelike home.
Complete working drawings for homes of comfort may be obtained

Empress Theater in
New, Lovely Plumage
Realty Board to Hear Expert
of New York on Zoning City
W. D. Ennis, vice president of the
technical advisory corporation of
New York, will speak before the real
estate board next Wednesday on the
subject of "City Zoning." - Mr.-Ennis,
who is now advising , the Lin
coln city plan commission relative to
a zoning ordinance, will tell of what
may be expected in the future from
Omaha's zoning law.
Have you visited the Empress
theater since its beautiful decorations
have been "fully completed? If not,
you have missed one of the most
beautiful bits of artistic work to be
found in any theater-in this part of
the country.
This popular playhduse has just
recently undergone a complete
change of inside and outside decorat
ing, the general color scheme of
which is as nearly idealistic as it is
possible for human minds and human
hands to have wrought.
The decorations, draperies and tap
estries are a French renaissance,
with the predominating color, espe
cially in the lobby, gold, blue, tinted
with pink and orange. Cut flowers,
including deep red roses placed at
various places about the entry way
add color and beauty to the general
decorative, scheme. The interior
decorations are in keeping with the
lobby and conform with it in gen
eral color scheme. ' '
The ' new fireproof asbestos cur
tain conforms in its beautiful deep
hucd coloring to the general decora
tions of the house. The ladies' rest
room, in direct contrast to the many-
hued decorations of tjje theater, is
done in walnut paneling with a rest
ful French gray color design.
- Sunday patrons will have an op
portunity for the first time to see this
beautiful theater as it appears after
it has been completely remodeled
and redecorated.
