Now is the Right Time to Build

sible exceptions. but few people have the
opportunity to profit by the exceptions
which in substance mean the sacrifice of
someone's else property to satisfy pressing
claims.
Lumber, brick, stone and other materials
necessary to the construction of buildings,
purchased and put into place at this time,
will be worth in the new relation they
bear to the other a great deal
more a year or two from now than
the present cost. Furthermore such struc-
lures will be ready for use.
By dlffuslng the efforts of workmen
over a broader period a twofold advantage
is gained; one is the work is done without
undue haste and more attention is given to
the perfection Of details than where speed
is essential. The other advantage is that
by keeping a majority of the people OF
the country constantly employed the dregs
Of depressed times are not tasted and it is
possible to pass through such periods with
out undermining or seriously impaiTinS
the credit and real interests Of the country.

Silent workshops, idle crews and dust
covered piles of merchandise in the ware
houses mean ~stagnation for any country.
The degree of stagnation is determined
by the completeness of the close down,
state of idleness appeals only to those
whose vision is blurred and whose mind
is distorted by false education.
The science Of merchandising applies to
the buying of labor and building material
just as truly as it does to the purchase of
goods sold across the counter. Well bought
not only is half sold but II unsold means
an extremely good investment. To buy well
is to buy at an opportune time-to have on
hand goods that are in demand, whether
the price paid be high or low. or to buy at
or for less than cost of production; in other
words, for less than the recognized fair
market value.
It may be economical 10 pay a man So a
day during a rush season in order to COM
piete an unfinished piece OF work. II this
wage be far above the scale, such expen-
diture is not, however, justified at all
times. Buslr ess men must c mpare the out
lay with the returns.
1t Is possible now to secure more and bet
ter work for the same price than at any
time within the last two years. Materials
are cheaper, labor Is cheaper. anxious for
employment and earnest in its desire to
give full value. These certainly are factors
which the wise investor should take into
account.
Buildings put up for investment yield not
to exceed an average of s per cent. BY
building at this time investors should save
10 TO 20 per cent on the cost as compared
with the cost In 1907 and the outlay that
probably viii be required next year, This
is equivalent 10 the earnings on the invest
ment for two and a half to three years.
II is admitted. Of course, that the demand
is greatest when prices are highest, and in
turn prices are high because the demand is
great. Humanity has one characteristic In
common with sheep. and that is each re-
quires a leader. Frequently the excuse
Brown gives for building is: "Well, Jones
is a shrewd fellow and he started to build
if it is a good thing for him it must be a
good thing for me-" In point Of fact what
may be good for Jones may prove other
wise for Brown.
Each individual should consider his own
resources and scan closely every possible
advantage. His determination to do or not
to do should be formed not because Of the
activity Of someone else but upon his own
initiative.
A word in regard to lumber prices: Values
necessarily will show fluctuations in the
future. Sale prices will move up and down
in response TO heavy demand or its tenn
porary restriction. The lumber trade OF
the county arnd the lumber consumers Of
the country should remember, however,
that a steadily increasing demand is being
filled from a constantly decreasing supply
OF timber. The inevitable outcome OF these
forces working one upon the other will be
a higher price level. The history OF years
past shows that each decade has its high
and its low prices, but the low prices OF
1900 to 1910 will be about In line with the
high prices OF 1880 70 1900, There are pos

Two questions agitate the abstractors Of
Omaha and Of Nebraska in general. The
state Board of Assessment has intimated
that an abstractor's books should be as
sessed. To this Outrage" the abstractors
object, holding that the books used in their
offices are only memorandums and should
not be taxed or at most they should be
exempt the same as a carpenters tools.
while the decisions on the subject in other
states are at variance, 1 believe we could
beat It out in the courts said an Omaha
abstractor. THE courts Of Nebraska have
never decided the matter, but there are
good reasons for holding that a mere col
lection Of memorandums or data for the
owners use cannot be treated as property
subject to taxation or levy.
"As to fixing any value on an abstractor's
books, such a thing would be almost alb
surd. There have been sets Of books in
Omaha which were not very valuable
and there are others, carefully and con-
scientiously kept, which are quite valuable
to their owners. But who ever heard of the
state taxing a lawyers briefs or a ply
! sician's collection of prescriptions or the
collection Of clippings and data about a
modern newspaper office" Another ques-
ton which has vexed the abstractors out
over the state frequently has been the
right of a county clerk to compile alb
stracts of title and receive money for his
services without putting up the usua'
$4,000 bond. Abstractors are discussing
these questions and there is talk Of some
legislation at the next session which will
give them further protection-both from
county clerks and assessors.

Especially among the young people, the
one-story bungalow is very popular, largely
for the reason that they do not care to
burden themselves with details of building
and the responsibility of keeping up a full
two-story house, and then to them, even
more than to older people, the conven-
fences of keeping house all on one floor
proves quite attractive. There Is, appar-
emily, no style in which the bungalow can
not be designed, but many bungalows re-
quire a considerable outlay of money. 1t is,
therefore, best to figure on making the
bungalow home as simple as possible. and
then after the figures are received, II the

membered that June a year ago was a high
water mark, or very close to it. And we
are therefore comparing a month OF moder-
ate quiet with a former corresponding
period Of unusual activity. Building, 1t will
be seen, is on a much better basis than

IN BUYING REALTY
Investor Hes to Take Many Things
Into Consideration.
HOW TO MAKE POOR LAWN GOOD
Former Park commissioners Craig
Declares Best of Lawns Can BE
Had in Nebraska as We'll
Ra in Europe

Buying property for a rise said a local
real estate man who knows WHEREOF ne
speaks. requires much more to be success
full than the happy coincidence of a rising
market. The process requires Keen Tore
sight as to the probable growth of a given
locality where the property is situated. Inc
question to be decided is, will the sur
rounding real estate develop and carry up
to higher figures the piece of property to De
purchased? Are building operations pro-
crossing toward the plot in question? Is II
likely that a buyer can be found who VIII
want the holding a few months or years
hence for a price that will represent a good
profit?
ITO answer these and other questions re-
gardlng d prospective purchase requires &C
curate knowledge of values, Of the move
ment Of business and population, the rela-
ton Of transportation facilities to the re-
gion where the property lies and to other
conditions which always enter into the
value of real estate. Again, II the property
bought is already improved, in the BUSH
ness section or among the older residences
of the city, does it offer good advantages
for rental? with a reasonable outlay for
repairs or remodeling of the building will
II pay a higher rental? Is it so situated as
TO invite a higher grade tenant II u Is put
into shape? These are questions which en-
ter into the intelligent purchase of property.
It is the wise man who can invest under
such circumstances with a certainty of
profit. There are hundreds of opportuni-
ties for profitable investment in Omaha.
This city is growing steadily and not spor-
adically. A ride about the city on the street
cars with a bit of intelligent head work
will put any man in the way of making a
good Investment"

dence and cottage columns are increasing

agencies. For the first time In many
month"; agents are able to offer a number
Of moderate priced houses for rent. There

quite desirable offered for from SIC to SO.
Seldom can a modern cottage be secured
in Omaha for less than SIS. The reason for
the large number Of houses for rent Is
nothing more than the building. Hundreds
Of antilles will move into new homes this
summer and fall. Hundreds will move
from houses for which they are paying
high rent to something just as good for
less money and most anyone who desires
to do so will be enabled to improve the
