That the farmers of this country are
more prosperous than they are reported
by the populistic press is evidenced by
the following, ahich we clip from re.
cent issue of the Philadelphia Record
1t appears that 72 per cent of the farms
in the United States are free from mort
cages. This is fact, and gratifying
and rose-colored fact which knocks the
stuffing" out of many loud and long
winded harangues. If further inquiry
should be made it would doubtless be
discovered that in a majority of instances
the mortgages on the % per cent of
mortgaged farms represent money bor-
rowed for improvements The Ameri-
can farmer sometimes has occasion to
growl; but take him for all in all, he is
the most prosperous tiller Of the soil and
the most independent in the world.

Very FaVorabIy Impressed.

Capt Frank J. Ives, surgeon in the
regular army, stationed at St. Angus
tine, Florida, spent several days in
town this week looking over our two
valleys. The captain is brother of
Lieutenant E. S. Ives, President of
the State of Arizona Improvement
Company. This company has COM
pleted the survey of one of the largest
canals in the United States. 1t heads
about 50 miles up the Colorado river
and when built will reclaim fully 3d.
600 acres of as fine land in the ella
and Colorado valleys as the sun ever
shone on.
Captain Ives, in company with c..
D. Baker, Manager Of the Company,
paid the SENTINEL Office a pleasant
call Wednesday. We found him an
exceedingly courteous gentleman and
we'll acquainted with the lands in this
section. Like all others who have
stopped long enough here to examine
our beautiful valleys he was we'll
pleased with the lands and expressed
much surprise that they should re-
main until this late day uninhabited
and uncultivated.
He prophesied that Yuma would in
the near future be the Queen City Of
Arizona. He had visited many cities
and towns but Yuma, in his estima-
ton, had better prospects than any he
he had yet visited.
The Captain made his departure the
same evening for Florida. He ex-
poets to visit US again this fall when
he will make an extended visit. II a
few more men like what we have seen
connected with the State of Arizona
Improvement Company, interest them
selves in our lands and mines,
grand future for Yuma is assured.

GOOD Health

And a good appetite go hand in
hand. With the loss of appetite,
the system cannot long sus-
tain itself. Thus, the fortiica-
ton Of good health are broken
down and the system is liable to attack
OF disease. It ism such cases that the
medicinal powers of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla are clearly shown. Thousands
who have taken Hoods Sarsa parilia
testify to it's great merits as purifier
of the blood, its powers to restore and
sharpen the appetite and promote q
healthy action of the digestive Or
gans. Thus it is, no5 what we say
hut what Hoods Sarsaparslla does
that tells the story and constitutes
the strongest recommendation that
can be urged for any medicine. Why
not take Hood's Sarsaparilla now?

of goods belong to him and as they
were shipped in his name and the

paid.
