Mr. Ashton points out that the har-

northward through oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska. Iowa, Minnesota and the Da-

Jitney Bus May Be
Run West of Benson

Hastings & Heyden have been consider
ing BUS auto line from the end of the
Benson car line to run directly west along
Main street, on paved road. one and one
half miles to the Northwestern railroad
tracks. if the street railway company does
not make an extension on the present line.
There are a great many people living
on small farms and acreage tracts west
and northwest of Benson, in Keystone
park and Benson Acre additions that are
a long way from a car line.
The new development that Is now being
planned by this firm on the Post farm,
with that which is already there. would
give an auto bus line a great deal OF busi-
ness and would afford great conveniences
for people living out that way. A paved
road, which is already there, is one of the
most important features for an automo-
bile bus line.

V0GEL ADVISES ALL TO

I. N. Vogel of the Vogel Realty
agency, 1015 Woodmen OF the World
building, believes that 1915 will show I'M
usual activity in farm land buying. Mr.
Vogel asserts that farming as a business
has only just started and that people
are going to set up and take notice
soon. He says the farmer is often bet
ter versed on business and financial

Farm lands will never be lower than
they are today" said Mr.. Vogel. "Amer-
lea is on the verge OF its greatest pros
perity and the American farmer has the
greatest opportunity in the worlds his
tory. Our advise is 20 buy land today.
Don't let the profits 80 to someone else.

of work to be had at enormous wages.

fabulous prices are being paid there for
help.

DEMAND FOR REAL
ESTATE is GOOD
Hustling Salesman Shows Record
Of $27, 800 in Transactions in
Twenty Days.
INCLUDES HEALTHY VARIETY

That the demand in general for all
classes of real estate, except possibly
that OF residence property, far exceeds
that of year ago" is the statement OF
George F. Jones, salesman with A. p.
Turkey & Son. In the early part Of No
vember MIR. Jones predicted that as soon
as people grew more or less accustomed
to the war in Europe and began TO realize
that to a large extent It would be BEN
eft to American business rather than an
injury. they would begin to open up and
the real estate market would be corre-
spondingly good.
Recent real estate activity, he says,
has amply indicated him In this prophecy
of a few months ago. AS proof he cites
his own sales within January alone, or
rather within the first twenty days Of
the month. In the first twent: days Of
the month Jones has sold exactly s27 800
worth of property. including vacant lots,
moderate residences. farm lands and bus-
ness property. This does not include any
thing closed by others in the firm or
employed by the firm, but is a record of
Jones' personal achievements.
Makes Good sIOnth.
The sales of Jones which amounted to
S27,SOO in the first twenty days Of the
month are the following: Three hundred
and twenty acres of land in Sedgwick
county. Colorado. for $500. and a small
farm near Glenwood. la, for $500 to the
Furay Investment company; the vacant
property at the southeast corner OF Twen-
ty-fourth and Seward streets. being 100
feet on Twenty-fourth by s2% feet deep,
TO Robinson Bros, consideration not
given; properties at 223S and 22S7 Seward
street and the vacant lot adjoining for
$780, and the vacant lot on the north
side of Decatur street between Twenty
eighth and Twenty-ninth. for 500 to John
l.. Barber: a vacant lot on the south
side OF Cunning street at Twenty-fifth,
being 22h feet frontage. for $50 a foot,
and 16O acres OF land in Logan county,
Colorado, TO Arthur Kraxberger for s., COO
These sales show a good demand for
outlying business property. that is. for
business property in the districts that
cannot DO considered downtown property,
Buildings are to be built at once on the
vacant lots included in this group OF
sales.
Big Downtown Deals.
AS further proof of the present activ-
ity of real estate Jones cites. Of course
the numerous big downtown deals that
have been made within the last few
weeks. Conspicuous among these are the
ninety-nine-year lease just closed by
Jacob Schlank on the property just west
of the Board of Trade building. where q
large store. office and theater building
is to go up. This is a piece Of property
valued at somewhere between $4,000 anC
$4,000, to say nothing of the buildings
upon It,
Not week before this deal was closed
the other big deal, the largest sale Of
downtown property for many moons wa
closed, namely, that of the Schlitz hote
property at the northwest corner of Six
teenth ard Harvey streets to the Unior
Securities company, which is to build {
big building there. a part of which is Il

HAIRLESS ON COOPERATION
Says the Public and the Service Cor
porations Should Go Hand
in Hand.
PROMISES FURTHER REDUCTION

General George Harries, president of
the Omaha Electric Light and Power
company. before the Omaha Real
Estate exchange on invitation, at
the last meeting, addressed the
members on the spirit of CO
operation and partnership that should
exist between the public and tho public
service corporation. He asserted there
had been too much OF the militant spirit
manifest in the past on the part of the
public service corporations when the pub
lie grew militant about rates and other
matters that came up.
1--WE are making a crusade. "he said,
"for a closer relationship, and better
understandings tendency toward the full
opening of the books of the company to
the public, so that the public may know
what we can do and what we cannot do
in the matter of rates and other matters
that come up.
81 am not satisfied with the old doc
trine of live and let live" he continued.
THAT would be very generous in me TO
let others live. wouldn't it? Well, want
to go farther. / say. live and help live.
Interest Here Permanent.
''Our interest In Omaha is permanent
We are not temporarily located here We
don't want to pull up stakes and leave
A vast amount OF our investment is in
underground conduits and underground
fixtures that would not be worth the
cost of pulling them out. SO, It may be
said that we have a big selfish interest
in Omaha.
NOW then, there is much cry for re
duction of rates by corporations. II nevel
occurs TO the people when they see q
successful merchant. one who has made
81. 10000 in business in the city. 10 d.
other than praise him. People point L
him with pride and say he came herr
with little or nothing and made 81 200. 90
right here in the city. II never occur
to anyone to demand that because he ha
made money In the mercantile business
that he must therefore begin 70 sell hi
goods at cost or below cost,
Too Much CIinch.
There are two ways TO get together

been too much OF the clinch. You can
