TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Loans on Property Said to Be a
Little Easier.
CROPS MOVING SOME BETTER
dealers say Money Not So Hard 60
Get ON Mortgage M it was n
Few Weeks or Month
AGO.

The general feeling among real estate
men is that money Is a little easier. They
declare Il IL at least little easier to
get loans than Il was some weeks ago.
They find II easier 20 get loans on real
estate than il was some weeks ago. They
hold that is a gooi sign.
The bankers account for Il partly by
the statement that crops In tho west are
moving a little better than they did few
weeks or a month ago. They hold that
while farmers for a time held their wheat
for war prices, or at least for n dollar
are now getting all OF dollar for It
that they are beginning TO let go OF II. At
the same time the corn crop is about
gathered, and some OF II is beginning TO
move on the market. All this means that
the farmers are getting money OF their
own into their hands ana putting II into
circulation. This is bound to produce a
wholesome effect they say, when one
considers that many farmers had nc
tually been borrowing money from the
country banks to do business on, while
they had thousands OF bushels Of grain
In their bins TO back up their loans. but
refused to sell 1t because they wanted
better prices.
II will mean that farmers who had
these loans will now pay them up with
the proceeds OF the sale OF their grain
that the country banks win In turn meet
their obligations with the city banks.
tnat the city banks. not being crowded
Tor money in this way, win stand mora
ready to extend loans 10 the business men
IN the city. and that general easier con-
dition will result Much OF the apparent
usntness OF money. both real estate men

Appearing before the Omaha Real Es-
tate exchange on invitation last week,
County and city Treasurer William @.
IRE spoke on taxation and some needed
legislation IN taxation and revenue mat
ters. He pointed out that the county Is a
year and n half behind in its accounts
now, so that II is paying its regular obi-
cations with warrants issued against rev.
enue II intends to collect a year and a
half hence, aud declared that some day
this matter must be brought up TO date.
He argued for a consolidation Of taxes
80 that taxpayer might pay all his
taxes at once instead OF having them
strung all through the year in the form
OF numerous bills and duns. THE con-
solidation Of taxes would be a great ac-
commodatlon to the taxpayer" he said.
He suggested legislation to increase tho
rate OF interest on delinquent taxes in
order to make II more like penalty than
like an interest rate. He said the present
10 per cent was not enough TO force the
delinquents to pay up their taxes while
he believed Is per cent would be much
better He said Illinois had a delinquent
rate of rs per cent, which was automatic

that the other ~ per cent are delinquent
Now, the fact is" he said, because
that IN per cent of the taxpayers are

AIDING FARM WOMEN.

AS a result of his inquiry into the
condition of women on the farm, Sec
rotary of Agriculture Houston proba-
bly, will ask congress to create "wo-
mans bureau IN the department of
agriculture. -
Last winter Mr.. Houston sent out
several thousand letters to farm wo-
men throughout the country, asking
their views on the betterment Of farm
ing conditions from a woman's stand
point. The replies, which are now be-
ing classified and tabulated, indicate
clearly to the secretary's mind the
necessity for a woman's bureau in his
department.
A hasty review of the letters indi-
Gates several opportunities for better
ment. One includes the installation OF
labor-saving devices in the house, an
other suggests that the farmers give
their wives allowances, just as city
men do: third suggests the necessity
for a flexible labor system. whereby
the women on the farms during the
rush season may have sufficient help
to make their duties light instead of a
burden.

At the first interview between pa
tient and doctor it is nip and tuck
who shall tell the more half-truths.
The patient, coming on suspicion, as
1t were, seems determined to make
the doctor accept his or her own con-
ception of the case, and hence is apt
to stretch a point here or suppress a
relevant fact there in order to aid the
doctor in reaching the desired con-
clusion. This necessitates a pretty
close cross-eXamination on the part of
the doctor If he would avoid serious
errors.
The doctor, on the other hand, put
ting leading questions and throwing
out feelers in roundabout way, gains

when war is uppermost in the world

card as if it were a message from the
dead. Then l noticed some small let
tiers in the lower corner. They read,
Formerly Captain Paul Thornton,

The door swung open, and big,
bronzed, heavily bearded man strobe

smiling. his hands outStretched in
warm greeting. Despite the changes
made by time and beard, knew him
for Trelawney. Before he could utter
the words that were on his tongue
cried out:
"Trelawney-Trelawn alive?"
Eyes, very much alive" he answered
as he wrung my hands.
And then, after he had insisted on
hearing a brief account of my doings
from the time we lost touch with each
other, he told me his strange story, and
here it is:
After I left Heidelberg Trelawney
became much attached to a fellow stu
dent, also an Englishman, named Paul
Thornton.
Thornton was poor and boarded with
Professor Max Braun, who had q
daughter, Gretchen. Her father exact
ed a promise from her that she would
not marry while he lived. She remain
ed heart free till she met Paul Thorn
ton; then it was case of love at sight
with both. They became engaged, but
kept the engagement secret
Trelawney, who was wealthy, in Or
der to be'near his friend went to board
with Professor Braun. He, too, fell
in love with Gretchen and proposed to
her. For a time she concealed the
avowal, then told Paul. Paul, panied
and shocked. kept the matter to him
self till Trelawney told him of his
love for Gretchen, then announced to
his friend that he was engaged him
self TO Gretchen and that she had told
him Trelawney had proposed to her
too.
at would have been far better, Paul,
if you had told me before said Ire
lawney.
Thornton silently acquiesced. and
Trelawney knocked the ashes ous OF
his pipe, rose to his feet and held out
his hand to Thornton.
Paul" he said, "let this make DO
difference in our friendship. but
must go away. L can get over it better
alone"
The next day Trelawney left Hell
delberg and the young couple announc-
ed their engagement to the professor.
He, to their surprise, consented 10 a
speedy marriage. and all lived happily
together till the professors death some
years later.
This break tn their quiet life aroused a
spark of slumbering ambition in Thorn
ton, and as soon as practicable he took
his wife to London.
From the start Ill fortune attended
him. He was unable to find employ
ment for which he was fitted, and his
small income went only u short way In
London. Matters grew worse and worse
