RBAL, BSTATE, NEN PERK UP| Tendency to Ease Up and Let Go of Money for Investments Cheers Them Mightily. FARMERS MORE CHEERFUL, T0O An increased demand for homes and for investments was noticed in the real estate offices during the last week. Real ertate men, generaily, feel somewhat more optimistic just now than they have for some months, as they feel the increased activity of the last week indicates the coming of an era of prosperity In the real estate businers. “] dom't know what caused it sald one membero of a large firm, “but we | have had more inquires this week and | have done more business than we have | in many weeks. People seem to feel | casler; they seem to have a more optim- istic feeling, and are more ready to in- vest. Whether it 1s ‘the rift in the cloud, that is in the Bernstorff note on the sinking of the Arabic that indicates there will be no trouble between Germany and the United States, or whether it is something else, I do not know, “At any rate the demand has been #00d, not only for moderate homes, but also for Investments. Thers have been many people in during the week with quite a little sum of money they wanted placed, There s a tendency to ease up and let go of the money again. People are not holding on to it with fear and trembling as they did." Brightening with Weather. Other read estato men suggest that the brightening up of the weather had some thing to do with the little spurt that was noticeable in the business of the week It is notorious that in a long spell of dark, cloudy weather, business is not £004, other things being equal. There is a deprossod feeling that prevales the minds of all. Now that for a week the sun has #shone at least part of every day, there has been a different atmosphers in ali business circles. Then, (00, the clearing up of the Ne- braska sky has brought about a better feeling among the farmers. This has been reflected immediately In the business in the towns out In the state and In turn i the cities. For some time thers was doubt whether the wheat could all be saved, on acoount of the super-abundance of raiu and slush, Now that the sky has cleared Ahreshing has commenced agaln, and there is still 0 good chance of saving most of the wheat crop, much of which for a time was in danger of rotting in the shock. Farmers More Cheorful. Not only the wheat situation has been cleared up somewhat by the better weather of the last week, but the coru situation is also looking better. All the farmers have wanted was a few weeks of sunshiny weather at the close of the summer to bring the corn out in fine shape, It looks now as though it were &oing to be granted them, and they are happy. A big wheat crop and a big corn corp In Nebraska, with good prices as they have valled in the last half dozen years)’ and especially since the Buropean war started, always means T‘Hl ()\I\H\ \l\l'\\ BEE: House De81gned for Av erage Famlly VWPJW z OOP??&??/Y i The house illustrated this week |s one that is well adapted to the needs of the average family and Is well arranged and convenient.

INNSBRUCK,, Austrian Tyrol, Aug. 2 ~The Swiss-Austrian frontier is carefully marked off and closed by burbed-wirc fonces, but that does not at all preven Tairly free intercourse between the Swiss and Austrian soldiers. Soldiers of both countries are grouped along the Engadine border and in the Swiss ranks is a barber, the only one of his profession on elther side. A recent visitor to this front who & shave found it was easily ob- tained by the simple expedient of sitting in & chalr on the Austrian side and al- lowing the Swiss soldier to extend his arms through the wire meshes. The shave was not the equal of one in & regular barber shop, a bit ragged and rough In spots, but it was far better than none and was without any break of neutrality. Austrian officers, it is stated, resort almost dally to the ©0dd expedient.
