1.-The Truth About Nebraska"

This is the title of a 24-page folder,
recently issued by the burlington
route and containing, besides brief
introduction, nine letters from resi-
dents of the state, setting forth their
experiences since they settled in
Nebraska.
The letters make it clear that the
man who comes to Nebraska with few
hundred dollars, a good head and a
stout heart can, in the course of few
years, be independent of landlords,
rent day, and all the other miseries
which make life struggle for the ten
ant of an eastern farm, They demon
strate that the money he pays for the
rent of farm anywhere east of the
Missouri river will buy a better farm
west of it. They show that Nebraska
is not simply a corn state"-that in
Nebraska, the avenue to wealth is
through cattle, wheat, and fruit as
well as through corn.
The folder is we'll printed, on good
paper in a peculiarly easy-to-read type.
Half an hour is all you need to read it
from beginning to end. Write for a
copy-free.
