That is, they apportioned the lots out among themselves at a given price and contracted to sell them at that price and turn that money ove: the International Realty Ass The eighty-six lots thus totaled $6 775, or ‘whatis said to b the international of some $20,600. The real estate men looked the plat over when all was graded and the various municipal services installed and decided the lots were easily worth the money, so there was no trouble in apportioning the whole plat out to these men to be sold by them at a given price. Draw Blind Lots. The lots were numbered, and tickets corresponding in numbers to the num- bers of the lots were put in a hat. A real estate man drew blindly out of the hat as many tickets as the num- ber of lots he would agree to dispose of at the given price. The number on the tickets showed him which lots he will have to handle. The local real estate men are to make no profit on these lots. They are merely to sell them at the price the International Realty Associates asks for them, This is a booster move which the day - international is carrying on in various parts of the country. Omaha is the third city in which the international has bpught a vacant tract and devel- oped it, only to be sold at a handsome profit in the form of lots. In Duluth and Pittsburgh the international ac- complished similar feats. Local real estate men consider this an excellent advertisement for realty values, and any city in the United States is great- flattered to have the International nal(t!y Associates come in and buy and develop a tract for a profit. Their judgment is considered good, and when they look a city over and give it the stamp of approval as a “comer” by buying a tract, the city is always iluttered. Omaha real estate men were greatly pleased to get Omaha into the very exclusive list of cities already so favored. Ten Lots Sold. Ten of the lots have already heen sold tH persons who expect to build. According to E. enson, four houses are to be built, beginning thjs week, tn this addition.

The meeting was in the Seward county courthouse, “Dr. Wilson talks of hyphenism as| though every German in the United States were heartily opposed to the great principles on whick this nation 18 founded. He seems to furget the great service which Carl Schurz and other immigrants from the fatherland rendered in civil war days.” The speaker, himself a German, says that most Germans in this coun- | try were actuated by the motto,| “America first.” Huerta’s Wife Will Seek | To Regain His Bail Money; San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 30.—| When Mrs, Victoriano Huerta goes | to El Pago in a few days to place a| wreath on the grave of her late hus. band, who died in exile. she will take steps to obtain $20,000 which was]| provided by the former president of| Mexico as bail when he was in cus- tody there, friends here said today, The charge of conspiracy to vio- late the neutrality of the United States, brought against Huerta, has| been dismissed, but no steps were taken to have the bail returned.

Cigars that formerly were pur-| L J chased for $35 a thousand and sold] ¥ at a jitney each have advanced to $37.50 and $38. At six-for-a-quarter a thousand cigars would sell at $40, a| . ; profit of only $2, which is not enough to allow for rent, wages and over- head. Thus has the six-for-a-quarter cigar disappeared. And if prices con- tinue to climb the nickel cigar will have a struggle to keep its place. The price must either go up or the quality come down, Cigars that formerly cost the retail- er $70 a thousand have gone up to $75 and $78 a thousand.
