many people who build modest homes do
not deem It worth while to obtain the
advice or profit by the experience of a
competent designer. They have the mis-
taken idea that his services are beyond
their means, that the little home is not
worth while going to the pains of having
the arrangement and the design syste-
matically laid out. Here is where they
err. System always means economy. It
is far cheaper to have everything in con-
nection with the building Of a home sys-
tematically arranged beforehand than to
try and convey the confused head picture"
Of the house to be built verbally to the
workmen. This invariably means costly
mistakes and an endless list Of "~extras''
for items that were not specifically ar
ranged for in the agreement with the
builder. Anything worth doing is worth
doing well. Every home is worthy OF being

The real estate man faces a double-sided
proposition in any other way. He goes to
epother agent TO buy a lot or tract having
been go commissioned by a patron. He must
OF course buy the property at the lowest
possible price. When the transaction IL
done he receives a commission from the
selling agent. This case was up for Discus
sion at last Wednesdays meeting of the
Real Estate exchange, and the point raised
that It is really an alomaly. Tn purchas-
ing agent first hammers down the consider
alton in question as far as he can and then
gets q commission from the man who has
been thus hammered. This was but one Of
half a dozen ethical questions which were
en- the tapis that day. The most casual
could not fail to gather from the discussion
that the members Of the exchange feel the
keenest interest in the advance OF the
standards Of business conduct. Ethical dis
cussions are ordinarily dangerous for If
one attacks another's ethics he attacks his
character. but the members Of the ex-
change managed to touch on delicate sub4

Two tragedies. neither in Omaha, aroused
great interest among real estate men the
country over the last week One was the
terrible death Of the son of Henry Waiter
son in New York city IN an accidental
fall from an office building. His partners
were both Omaha men.
The other was the discovery Of the almost
incredible theft of $2,OOo,0o by Peter Van
Vllssingen OF Chicago, editor OF the Real
Estate News and one OF the best known
men in the business In the United States.

TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP

-BeIt Line Property Theme
OF Much Interest.

Ordinarily the zeal estate man does not
look with favor upon corn, that Is, corn
growing within municipal limits, but the
ali~-pervadlng interest in tire National Corn
exposition has affected members Of the
Omaha Real Estate exchange with an
enthusiasm r~ivalihs that Of the most sciet-
tiflc seed corn expert.
The same men who have invariably
scowled when passing a suburban lot in
which an enterprisihg owner Is raising a
little maize for his own table consumption.
can now walk past the same patch with
out losing their equanimity or INDUCING in
flights OF fancy as TO how mighty office
buildings or handsome residences ought TO
grow where the corn tassels are being
tossed by fugitive zephyrs-it being the
right season Of the year.
Not that any considerable amount Of
Omaha property has literally or fisura-
lively gone to seed, but there are one Or
two pieces Of property where a thrifty
owner or agent has planted corn pending
the time he agrees with the many wouid-be
purchasers on the price for the tracts or
lot. CThere is no reason for the foregoing
paragraphs, save that mention of the Ma
tional Corn exposition will not make the
National Corn exposition angry and any
how-if the music department can ring In
a reference to the corn show-it Is not
more out Of place in real estate gossip.)
Men who lend money on Omaha real
estate declare with one Voice that mt the
present time there IS evidence Of a greater
inclination to build both for homes and for
Investment purposes than ever before in
their experience. Those buying for invest
ment, Of course, are not in the borrowing
class, but a study OF the real estate situa-
tlon leads to a like conclusion in respect to
these as with regard to the home-builders,
many Of whom secure greater or smaller
loans to help their project.
Practically any man Of good reputation
and steady employment can obtain such
aid from any one of a number of sources,
but the interesting fact Is to be recorded
that those who lend the most in this way
are the most careful and conservative with
regard TO the proposition. Desirable as
building activity Island Omaha builders
are nowadays kept extremely busy-the
erection at once of an oversupply Of houses
would not rebound to the benefit of the
contractors themselves, and they recognize
this as we'll as the men whO lend the
money.
