for. Remember this is the home you have
longed to own for years. Be sure you in
vest your money wisely Start right.
The home builder should state frankly to
his architect the amount he desires to
spend, give him a general idea of the num-
Der and arrangement of the rooms and
then leave the rest to him If he would have
tn best results. There are, unfortunately,
architects, so-called, who have no legiti-
mate right to the title men in whom the
commercial spirit Is SO prominent that the
planning of a home becomes a mere get
it-out-and- get-your-money'' proposition
The man who hires all his work done Che
can, of course, have assistants) who does
not himself work upon the drawings, giving
his own time and attention to the working
out Of the details, is not an architect in
the true sense Of the word.
Give your architect time. Plans cannot
be made with rubber stamp. Designing
is hard work, mentally fatlgueing, and is
not done dmpulsively, as many people think
An architect with a list of instructions
does not run his fingers through his hair

dn itself and It takes time to work out the
best solution of It, Do not wait until the
last moment and then expect your archi-
tect to get your plans out In week. He
cannot do it and give you the best Of his
talent The principle advantage Of en-
ploying an architect are, first, a saving Of
time and worry; second saving Of cost
through the application of system; THIRD,
substantial construction; fourth, homelike
arrangement of rooms; fifth, an attractive
home; sixth, the advantage of taking com
petitive bids, thereby reducing the cost,
and of letting the contract on business
like basis; seventh, having three or more
sets Of accurately prepared plans and
specifications to work from; eighth, know
dng just what you will get in the finished
structure and thereby saving long list of
extras for things that could not possibly

BIG DREDGE is AT WORK

Launched last fall, has now been placed
in commission. For starter only water
is being handled, but as soon as the ma
chinery has been limbered up the hydraulic
apparatus will be turned loose on the mud

"Uncle Joe" Redman predicted that as
soon as the dredge was put in operation
fish would be drawn in at the front end
and shot out onto the banks. "Of course,
as soon as the fish get wise to what is
happening they will dodge the suction end
of the boat" said the old settler His
prediction met with enough credence TO
bring to the scene of operations some in
veterate fish hunters, but as yet they have

Building Notes

Experience in Omaha, as in other cities,
proves the wisdom Of building brick rest
dences, either solid or veneer.
1t is wise to build of brick because It
pays. 1t pays from several standpoints,
viz. Comfort of occupants, architectural
beauty, economy OF up-keep, economy of
fuel to heat. increases in selling value, Inn
provement OF neighborhood. etc.
AS to comfort and fuel economy-there
can be no room for doubt. Nor would
any one deny the reduced cost OF Inainte-
nance.
The make Of architectural beauty may
be partly a matter of taste, yet 1t is more
than mere accident that houses OF brick
attract far more attention than those OF
Frame
AS a matter of investment, authorities
agree that the proper use Of face brick
in residence construction. whether in foun-
datlons, porch piers. chimneys or for the
entire exterior, brings returns greatly in
excess of the same investment with face
brick excluded.
The added cost of using the right face brick
will bring more than 100 per cent profit
on that cost-for the construction is
better. the appearance is better and back
a good looking brick wall.
Architects and builders in Omaha" says
r. e. Sunderland. ARE becoming more and
more interested in the use Of artistic brick
ana 1t is q very encouraging sign"
Few people outside Of those directly in
terested have realized what the Omaha
Elks have been doing in the way OF Sc
curing a commodious and elegant building
OF their own in the very heart OF the down
town district.
The complete remodeling OF the building
formerly known as the Granite block" at

rled on without disturbing the Fifteenth

been called to this enterprise as in the

N6AbfH4k over and see me-" Something
Sk1EsSs%S to that effect is the average
expression from most men about to plan
homes. Even a contractor recently wrote
me, Il have followed the building trade
with considerable success for twelve years
and realize how little I know about making
plans" The building of a home espe-
cially the first one, is a difficult and
serious undertaking, the investment often
representing the accumulated savings of
years. When the building Of a home by
a man Of wealth to him is a serious matter,
how much more important It is to the man
OF limited means that his money be
properly invested.
First buy a good-sized lot in a deslr-
able neighborhood, where your children will
have proper associates and remember that
1t never pays to build a good house on a
cheap lot. Then buy a good book and
several magazines devoted to the planning
and designing Of homes, study them thor
oughly, visit all the homes you can, note
their size as compared with their cost
and do not get discouraged when you find
that you have formed cream appetite
on SKINNED milk pocketbook," that the
mental picture you have formed Of your
future homo must be greatly reduced in
its proportions to keep the cost within the
limit of your building funds. The archi-
tects greatest problem is how to hold down
over-enthusiastic people who would like to
build homes beyond their means. At first
you may be surprised at not being able
to find a home already planned or built
which meets your ideal. Planning a home
is like selecting a wife. what suits one
man seldom suits another and each must
choose according to his own taste
After you know what you can have and
keep within the amount you wish to spend,
then decide on what you want as to num-
