Trying to mend a poor lawn is like put

there is not a possibility Tor growing the
velvety lawns of Europe in this country
because our climate is too not and windy

, Properly cared for we can nave just as

The steady stream Of building permits be.
ing issued by the city building inspector
shows that Omaha is continuing on its
accustomed way and not shying at the
scarecrow, panic, nor at the paper bag,
money st%ringency. \ pleasing feature OF
the situation is the number of permits for
homes of Medium price, homes for the
common people, homes for that class which
is the bore and sinew of any city and
whose backing is a guarantee of solid
growth and substantial adolescence. 1t is
rather the quality than the total amount
which indicates whether a city is having
a substantial growth or whether It is not.
And there is no better quality of growth
than homes built by the great middle class,
the class which God loves because He made
so many Of them. Omaha has already a
name among the cities of this country for
the number of homes owned by its citizens.
In some of the large eastern cities it Is
the exception to find the man who owns
his own home. Here it is rather the rule
and the percentage is increasing every
year.

TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK

south Omaha Also shows n steady In-
crease In Selling Prices and
Business Is Generally
Satisfactory.

Much interest is manifest by real estate
dealers in business property in Omaha, par
ticularly in the vacant spots east Of Six
teenth street. Increases in values are
everywhere apparent and some good money
Is to be made in property which is at all
likely to be needed for store or factory
sites. One Of the recent sales in the dis
trict has drawn considerable attention to
the vacant lots. Only a short time ago
Charles r. Sherman bought the corner at
Twelfth and Davenport streets and an
nounced tina he would hold the property
for some time. as he had secured the lot
for an investment. Mr.. Sherman paid $500

Loose-Wiles company of Kansas City for
$4,000. Other lots in the vicinity, real es-
tate dealers believe, will be sold during the
summer and fall. as business Is not alto
gether quiet simply because Of a presiden-
tial campaign. At least three other busi-
ness houses which contemplate coming tc

Whether two blocks of fine residences
win be erected in Kountze Place this year
or go over for a year, hangs on the action
of the Park board in connection with the
old Exposition ground track between Six
teenth and Eighteenth streets and between
Pinkney and Pratt streets in the north part
Of the city. The Park board intends to
have "A large shore drive similar to the
drive In Chicago" and the boulevard will
cross the tract II it is built. Hastings &
Heyden, agents for the property, have been
enabled to sell a few lots in the tract and
fine homes have been erected as soon
as the deeds were given. II is the opinion
of the firm that every foot of the tract
could be sold within a few days II 1t could
be placed on the market and that a new
home would be erected this year on every
lot. -

rho omnibus Claims, Bill.

Friends of the omnibus claims bill.
chiefly Southern members of the two
houses. are fearful lest the Senate load
down the measure to such an extent
that the House will not accept it when
II comes back to that body.
1t was stated to-day that the Senate
was likely to add to it many claims on
which the Court of Claims has not pass
cd. In addition to a large number in
which the Court of Claims has found
damages for the defendant. 1t is not
believed the House would accept the
bill If 1T embraced claims of the for
mer character. as every one of the
items in the House bill was one on
which the court had passed favorable
judgment.
Senator Martin, as senior Democratic
member of the Claims Committee of the
Senate. is looking after the interests
of Virginia claimants, and will add
many claims for damages done to
churches in the Old Dominion by Fed
eral troops as well as several private
claims which the House members from
Virginia could not get into the bill
when 1t was pending in the House
committee. Senator Daniel, though not
a member of the committee, is also
looking after number of Virginia
claims.
