Omaha Now a City
Of Well Built and
Modern Dwellings,

There has been remarkable progress
in designing and construction OF resi-
dence building in the last few years. and
Omaha has surpassed great many OF
the progressive cities OF our land in build
ing these modern homes" said f. B..
Norris of Norris 6 Norris.
"A modern home must not only be at
traotive In design, hut must be planned
with the view of the strictest economy
in household work-arranged to avoid a
single unnecessary step and at the same
time be artistic, cozy, inviting.
This is the age of electricity and to-
day nearly every woman uses the electric
iron, sweeper, toaster etc. so that, among
the many little things that go TO make
the modern home are tho electric sockets
placed conveniently in floors, base boards
and walls. SmSll closets off of kitchen
and buffers D htry for brooms table
leaves, etc. Clothes chutes and dust
chutes are great labor saving devices.
and are today as much a part of a mod
ern home as lighting fixtures. The sun
room or sleeping porch is indispensable.
One OF the strange things 1 sometimes
meet with are the persons desiring 10
purchase and want TO buy a home. Built
by the owner believing that they can
actually get better house than one con
structed by a reliable building company
IL does not require much business knowl-
edge to see their error, because In very
many cases the said owner has built NOT
permanent home. but house 20 sell. or
has become dissatisfied with his building
efforts and wants to unload He could
not possibly build as cheaply as a large
building company. for the simple reason
he would pay at least 20 per cent more
for his material. to say nothing OF what
always happens to the building in way OF
Inferior material and workmanship when !
constructed without a competent builder

Boulder, Colo.-The third golden
wedding to be celebrated in Boulder
within the last month was that of Mr..
and Mrs. James A. Bell of the Base
line road. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Will
son and Mr., and Mrs. r. r. Lyman,
the other two couples, were present at
the Bell celebration. .:
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell were married at
Knox, Ind. in 1865, just after the close
of the Civil War, in which Mr. Bell
had served in an Indiana regiment.
An interesting feature of the celebra-
ton was that Henry Wilson served in
the Civil War in Mississippi regi-
ment of the Confederate army.
Benjamin B. Bell, a son, and Mrs. c.
j. Raymond, daughter of the aged
couple, motored from Kansas to at
tend the celebration.
Denver.-Three Denver couples, two
of whom celebrated golden wedding
anniversaries, gave a strong indorse-
ment to matrimony as the ideal ac-
compartment to happy life. Mr. and
Mrs. Jacob Peabody, who celebrated
sixtieth anniversary, and Mr.. and
Mrs. William Davis and Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Drumming, married half cen
tury, agreed that the viewpoint of
most of the young people of today is
responsible for number of mistaken
marriages, and declared the fact that
