As people, Americans have
~ SO long been charged with
4 Awastefulness and extrava-
gance that we have come to ad-
init it as our National sim.
Perhaps the meanest thing that
has been said of us is that our only
idea of economy is to do without.
That, being a people of ex-
sremes, we can save only in the
most drastic and obvious way. 7
That our idea of reducing
household expenses is to dis
charge the help, wear our old
clothes and cut the table where
it will be felt the most.
That we must either waste
coal or shut down the furnace
and freeze.
There is just enough truth in
this indictment to hurt.
Wastefui Economy Us. Construc-
the Saving and Use
The call to National economy
ought rather to be a call to
National Thrift.
Here in the richest country in
the world-with nationwide
employment and prosperity, with
wages higher than they have ever
been in the history of the world,
with 935, 100000 acres of tillable
land and unprecedented returns
for the farmer-we can support
another hundred-million people,
whether in this country or Eu-
rope, on what America wastes, if
we only>apply brain, to our prob
lens, National and individual.
Motor Traffic a Vital Factor
In National Lifs
I, takes no brains to practice
the economy Of doing without.
A good example Of this idea

The Thrift of the Franklin Car
Our Response to the National Call

with flexible construction double,
the tire mileage Of the Franklin car.
Study the Used Car prices!
They tell the same facts in terms
Of depreciation, emphasizing the
security Of the Franklin owner in
the tnve,fment value of his car.
Under all circumstances of
road, climate, and the cost Of gas
oline and tires, the man with a
Franklin owns and runs his car
on the most favorable terms.
These factors make the Frank
lin peculiarly the car of free use,
Of staunch service, of small up
keep, of low depreciation.
Twenty thousand Franklin
owners saw these things before
there was any call to National
Thrift.

REAL ESTATE MEN TO
PUSH FOR ARMY CAMP
Officers Arrive and Are to Be
Shown Sites Suitable for
Location of Uncle
Sans Soldiers.

Today real estate men and Com.
mercial club representatives will
escort group OF army officers about
the city and show them land adjacent
available for an army cantonment
camp. The officers arrived last night,
and will be taken out early this morn
ing. A special committee OF real
estate men, Frank II. Myers, +. d.
Wead, John F. Flack, ]. H. Dumont,
H. A. Tukey and George G. Wallace,
has been investigating available tracts
during the latter half Of the last week.
The government will locate thirty
two cantonment camps, each to ac-
commodate some $4,000 men and 49,
900 animals. Omaha is looked upon
as favorable location, and il the real
estate men and the Commercial club
representatives can show the army
men suitable tract, near enough to
the proper switching facilities, Omaha
has a good chance to get one of the
camps.
No Graft Proposed.
The board faces its new duties with
a spirit OF patriotism and devotion to
the needs OF the country. The com.
mittce is dcsirous that owners Of
land may face the situation in
similar Inanper. The hope is that it
will not be spirit Of money making
or greed that will control the selection
Of a site, but the desire to best serve
the interest OF the country. The gov
ernment is willing to pay reasonably
for facilities secured, but the commit
tee and the real estate board back
of the committee will see that there
is no graft or undue price required.

estate fraternity has shown fine

0MAHANS PAY CASH
FOR LIBERTY BONDS
Bankers Say Very Few Are
Asking to Purchase on the
Installment Plan or
,on Credit.

Most persons in Omaha who are
buying Liberty loan bonds up to the
present time are paying cash for them.
There is provision whereby the
bonds may be paid for in installments,
but thus far few have taken advantage
of this provision. ~
Bankers say the speeches of Secre-
tary McAdoo in Omaha gave the sub
scriptions to the bonds great i'm
petus locally. They have been COM
ing in and subscribing thick and fast,''
said President A. L. Schantz of the
State bank OF Omaha. I'VE are busy
taking subscriptions all the time.
Though there is a provision for buy
ing the bonds on the installment plan,
and though we have arranged to loan
the necessary money to anyone who
wants to buy bond and has not the
ready cash, few have asked for these
loans or for the installment plan Of
paying out on bond"
Not only are bonds being taken in
large quantities by companies and
corporations, but the subscription for
bonds among individuals received a
great impetus from the McAdoo
speech and the speech by Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Vrooman.

Clothing company has set precedent

President Hass Is Pleased

The National Real Estate Journal
for May quotes President Hass of the
national association in all interview
after his trip to the central west as
follows:
"Mr. Hass believes real estate as an
investment vii become more and
more popular during the present war
time, owing to the uncertainty in
stock and bond investments.
"Your investor will want to find a
safe place to put his money during
war time" he said. Real estate is the
safest investment.
Concerning Omaha the article says.
President Hass was greeted warmly
by E. M. Slater, president OF the local
real estate board; Charles w. Martin,
c. c. George. c. Il, Harrison and
Byron Hastings. Telling about Oma-
ha Mr.. Hass said:
Il found in Omaha the most active
real estate market that / saw on the
whole trip. They are certainly doing
business there. There is a wonderful
downtown building movement on
hand just now and some corner prop
