had contracted to sell their ranches
have been fooled by the intended pur-
chasers slipping out, in one instance af-

responsible real estate agent, who will
protect the interests of the seller against
sharpers and others who are trying to
get something for nothing. Be warned
In time.

land seeded to timothy this fall. Timo-
thy does splendidly here. Cooper's
new portable steam sawmill came up
