Cheap Money Prevails
At Insurance Centers

"What effect will the growth of
Omaha as an insurance center have
on real estate" asked a realtor on the
street the other day OF an insurance
expert who is now busy establishing
new company. The answer was to
the effect that where the headquarters
of insurance companies of all descrip-
tions gather that there cheap money
and plenty of it usually prevails. He
mentioned a recent trip to Des
Moines, and looking over the first
mortgage security in the vaults Of the
state capitol building and held in ac-
cordance with the state insurance
laws and stating that there were many
millions of them and that Des Moines
standing as an insurance center had
not only been adding largely to the
working capital of the city, but had
added greatly to the prosperity Of the
state@of Iowa. Omaha and Lincoln
are both growing in that direction and
some fnanciers think that leading
business men, including those inter-
ested in real estate, should go into
this line of investment more than
they do. Everything can be insured
nowadays from automobiles to ant
hills. Real estate would be benefited
by the plentyfulness and cheapness of
money, the largely increasing number
of office buildings for headquarters
which such companies usually re-
quire. Already. steps have been taken
to secure headquarter sites by several
Of the Omaha companies.

Boy Scouts to Picnic
At NashWood Wednesday

Through the kindness of Ward
Burgess, the Boy Scouts of the city
will be given a picnic at Nashwood,
near Coffman, the country home of
Louis c. Nash, Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Burgess said, in commenting
on the proposed outing: THE Boy
Scouts have worked so earnestly and
faithfully during the last week in the
Red Cross campaign and accom-
plshed so much that thought moth
ing would be more appropriate or
more pleasing to them than an outing
at one of the parks or some place in
the country nearby.
when I mentioned my plan to
Mr.. Nash he Immediately offered me
Nashwood, his country home, and told
me to tell the boys to go as far as
they liked.
Every Boy Scout is invited to go
as we'll as every scout master. Auto
mobiles will be furnished for the
transportation and everything possible
will be done to give them good
time"
III Oruer tldt III cpfOpcl tIdllSpOi-
tation may be provided as well as to
know how many it will be necessary
to have supper and refreshments for,

scout headquarters in the Patterson
block, where they will be given a
ticket emitting them to one big gen.
eral good time.
Each scout master is requester to
call Scout Master English at head

Real Estate Men of Omaha
Face "0Id Home Problem

A group of realtors at luncheon at
the meeting of the Real Estate board
Wednesday were discussing the "Old
Home Problem" This faces every
real estate man in Omaha, and in
other western cities as well. The
problem is to take a thoroughly good
house, built after the style of twenty
of twenty-five years ago and sell it
on the market for what it is really
worth.
Scarcely a day passes that realtors
do not have calls from people who
wish smaller home or different loca-
ton and ask that one of these old
homes be listed Tor a price which
seems to him fair. The demand, how-
ever, too often Is for something "up-
to-date" and the last idea in planning
and finishing.
The new house is often not nearly
so we'll built nor comfortable as the
old house, does not last SO well and
always costs a great deal more. One
of this group said to the Others. "rhe
day of the old house is returning"
Asked for his reasons he stated that
in the next two or three years the in
crease in business in Omaha would un-
doubtcdly bring a demand for many
more homes. "The high cost of ma
terials and of labor" said he, twill
make the price OF a new cottage, for
instance, very much higher and peo-
pie will bury their pride and live
where the comfort and t..e cost will
justify"
In this connection there is also
returning of interest on the part OF
investors who group the older houses,
which are in many cases offered cheap,
for rental

REALTORS CONSERVE
IN ENTERTAINMENTS
Real Estate Men Decide TO
Welcome Visitors as Here.
tofore, but to Retrench
Along Certain Lines.

Real estate men OF Omaha have de-
cided to give only plain entertainment
this year to the real estate men OF the
west and southwest who will stop
off in Omaha on their way to the ma
tional convention at Milwaukee in
July.
This does not mean that the western
and southwestern visitors are not well
come.
1t means the Omaha realtors intend
to conserve" in harmony with the
general policy Of the nation.
To be sure they want the delegates
going through here to stop over tor a
day. The secretary is to write to the
various boards and exchanges inviting
them to do so, and the local fellows
are going to have committee to pro-
vide entertainment
Omaha has made itself famous in
the past for the kind of entertainment
it has provided for real estate men
who have stopped off in Omaha en-
route to national conventions.
At the meeting last Wednesday the
board members voted in one breath
to invite the various delegates to stop
off, and then in the same breath voted
to make all entertainment at that time
sufficiently moderate as to cost to be
in keeping with the conservation spirit
of the times,

ASK CONTINUANCE
OF BUILDING WORK
Contractors and Material Men
Say Construction Is One of
Fundamental Industries.

National organizations OF building
contractors and material men have
sent out for distribution the following
pointed remarks about the building
situation:
There should be no curtailmcnt in
building and road construction. Let
both public and private useful con-
struction proceed. Production and
handling of building materials and
public and private construction work
are fundamental industries of the
country. Any tendency to suspend or
postpone building projects is ineon-
sistent with maintaining our pros
perity. The country is prosperous.
Building investors should not hesitate
to 90 ahead with their plans. Rail-
roads should spare no effort to supply
the building industry with the cars
needed to transport materials. Gov
ernment, state, county and municipal
authorities should encourage the con-
tinuance OF all kinds of building. Road
and street improvements in particular
should go on unabated. Bad roads
and streets are factors of first impor-
tance in the present high cost of food
stufs. Never before was the I'M
provement Of highways so essential.
Basic Industries.
The lumber, brick, cement, lime,
sand, gravel, stone and other building
materials industries are basic. Neither
government regulations nor railroad
restrictions should be imposed un-
necessarily to interfere with them. If
any action is taken which results in
the prostration of so fundamentally
important industries, there is real
danger of a surplus of unemployed
labor, a surplus of railroad cars and
a Gripping of business that will seri-
ously embarrass the government in
financing the war.
"If we are railroading, let us rail-
road for all we are worth. If we are
farmers, put the same speed in our
farming. If we are mining, let us
mine as never before. Let us do the
same with making shoes, making
clothes, building houses, building
factories, warehouses, skyscrapers,
roads or whatever it may be.
Keep on building"

FAULTS IN TITLES
DUE TO IGNORANCE
Follow Mistakes in Deeds,
Mortgages and Other Instru-
ments Caused by Limited
knowledge of Methods.

Many OF the faults in titles and
often those most difficult to correct
are those which come through mis-
takes in deeds, mortgages, leases, or
other instruments. Some are due to
carelessness and many to ignorance
Members Of the Omaha Real Estate
board had a discussion of some
phases of this difficulty at the meet
ing last Wednesday noon. L. r.
Slonecker read a comprehensive pa
per on the subject, and considerable
discussion followed.
The real estate board took steps
to start a nationwide movement in
reforms in conveyancing, particularly
in securing uniformity. In some
states witnesses are not required, in
other states two witnesses are called
for, while in Nebraska only one. In
some cases husbands and wives must
sign deed separately and in separate
rooms. In some other states private
seals are required, and until recently
New Jersey would not recognize the
acknowledgements of notary publics
under certain conditions. Efforts
have been made in recent Nebraska
legislation to provide for these diff
ferences, but the question is still open
whether it has been done or not. The
real estate men believe that if their
leading men over the country would
get together on some form and then
ask cooperation of the American Bar
association, the National Organization
of Savings and Loan Associations and
similar bodies, it could be brought
about to a great saving to the people
and would add much to the conven
fence of real estate transfers.

Consider This Profit Producer for Your Business
Let's Talk Brass Tacks

Instead of high-falutin words about Saving
the nations fuel' or "cutting the delivery costs
of the nation" Or "hauling efficiency for the
nation" let us say few things about the Little
Giant line of heavy-duty motor trucks and their
exclusive feature-The Duntley Hydro-Pneu-
matte Gas Generator.
Let us consider how they will, in definite dol
lars and cents, save you half Of what you are
now paying for delivery.
Saue Half Your Gasoline Cost
The Little Giant, in either the Convert-a-Car
(which makes guaranteed oversize 1-ton
truck of the Ford), or the 1-ton or 2-ton or 315a
ton truck capacities, is so efficient burden
bearer that it never fails to produce more than
usual saving.
But our engineers, giving thought to the ris-
ing cost of gasoline, have in addition perfected
the Hydro-Pneumatic Gas Generator.
Equipped with this device, Little Giant trucks
will do for the man with hauling problem ex-
actly what high speed tools have helped the fac
tory production manager accomplish.

Our Customers Say We Are
Too Modest

You could expect that the $14,OO0,0O0 Chi
cago Pneumatic Tool Co., with its twenty-three
years of building experience would produce no
less than a Little Giant" But far out-running
ordinary expectations are the thousands of en-
thusiastc users of Little Giant trucks who insist
that we are too modest, that we don't claim
enough for Little Giant, that it out-perfoms and
delivers far above what we promise, that it saves
more than we say

no CHANCE OF SAVING BIG TOW.
BOAT

AS the river continues to fall the
big towboat Jim Wood, which was
caught on a snag at Lock and Dam
SO Wednesday afternoon, is getting in
a worse position and there is not the
least hope that it will be saved. The
officials at the Dam are waiting to
hear from the owners of the boat as
to whether or not an attempt will be
made to save some of the machinery,
which is very valuable. On account
of the fact that the boat may break in
two at any time it is very dangerous
to go aboard.

PEACE 1t ONCE
IL Aim Of New Russ Rsvoltj Extreme
Radicals Announce They Deposed
Kerensky Government, Cen.
sorshIp One-Slded and
Suppresses All News
Of BlOOdshed.

London, November 8-Leaders of
the Bolshevlki, or extreme Russian
radicals, In control Of all communi-
cation with Petrograd, formally an
nounced to the world today that they
had "deposed the Kerensky govern
ment."
In Its place the institution of a
new regime with policy Of immedi-
ate peace and immediate distribution
Of all land to the peasants, was an
nounced.
No mention was made in dispatches
received here OF fighting, but 1t was
feared that once again the streets of
Petrograd have been dyed in blood
from struggling factions.
The Bolshevlki leaders did not ex-
plain how the alleged overthrow of
the Kerensky government had been
accomplished, except to assert that
the garrison and the proletariat" had
forced it.
All the news from Russia today was
one-sided - the only version being
that Of the revolving Bolsheviki, due
to their control of all means of COM
munication.
London had been prepared for an
armed outbreak following Kerensky's
announcement received yesterday that
active measures of suppression"
were to be adopted against his paci-
fist enemies.
Officials here were awaiting eager
ly the Kerensky version of today's
happenings in Petrograd.
Russia officials emphasized that the
revolt is entirely local in character
affecting Petrograd alone
In the capital pacifism has reached
its greatest strength, due to activity
of the Bolsheviki Soviet of workmen
and soldiers.
Dispatches revealed today that the
Maximalists and the Bolsheviki local
Soviet of the Workmen and Soldiers
Committee in Petrograd had armed
their followers and that these armed
men had sliced the telegraph Office,
the Marie palace, the state bank and
the Baltic Railway station.
Against these, Kerensky was as
sembling Cossacks and other loyal
government troops.
Drastic action to suppress these
malcontents, who have been becom-
ing holder with each day of procras-
tination by the provisional govern
ment, was forecast yesterday by Pre-
mier Kerensky.
Apparently the pacifist local Soviet,
under Leon Terensky, together with
other Maximalist organizations, have
gained the support of the workmen
and part of the garrisons at Petro-
grad and Moscow.
1t was certain, however, that only
a small percentage of the people and
Of the army were sympathetic with
their plans.
Most favorably to Kerensky was the
refusal of the soldiers on the north
ern front to agree to the Maximalist's
plan for controlling them.
The troops promised full support to
Kerensky in putting down any Maxi
malist revolt.
