MiII Land Go hiaher?

The wonderful advance in the price OF
Iowa farms during the past season mas
caused many to ask themselves the ABOVE
question, win it go still higher? Sixty five,
seems pretty high for land which co c0u ~
have been bought five years ago Tor S4u 70
$40 per acre We are of the opinion tnat
good land will 20 still higher. something
like two years ago we MADE the state sll.iiL
in this paper that our rich prairie farms
would 20 to 500 per acre within ten years.
We were only mistaken as to the tlme.
The figures will be reached much sooner
than we predicted. ~.
There are good strong causes back OF tnls
agricultural state in the very heart Of what
is rapidly coming to be the greatest ana
richest nation on earth. The rich Missis-
sippi Valley country must feed Uncle
Sans rapidly multiplying millions Oh
mouths. and no new acres 10 pro- be
the inevitable results? Smaller farms, pet
ter farming, greater results, higher prices
for product as population outSroWs pro-
duction Another generation will see the
good farms in the great states OF iowa ana
illinois, selling for $3.50, $500 per acre.
And lucky indeed will be the land owner:
In this great rush to get hold OF some OF
Uncle SANS rich soil the country is being
Thoroughly investigated. ! myself, IN the
interest of number of my friends VINO
are looking about for the best investments
they can make, have lately done great
deal of hunting about through four or five
counties, and by far the best place for IN,

5000 GIVEN AWAY.
The Big Store Will Give Away
5000 in Prizes to Customers
Bringing In Copies of It's
Advertisement Cut Ont of
the Courier, Democrat or
News, When They Make Pur-
chases.

Mr.. Phillips, proprietor of the Big
Store, takes the above method of de-
termining the comparative advertis-
ing merits of the various newspapers.
AS Mr. Philips is a large advertiser,
the information thus gained will be
worth to him many times the cost Of
the premium as he expects it to cer-
tainly tell him which paper it will pay
best to advertise in.
The fact that he is giving away
these premiums ads nothing to the
price of the goods which will be sold
at the very low figures which are al
ways to be found at the Big Store.
This is an opportunity to get a valua-
BILE and useful present absolutely
without cost to the customer.
The mode of distributing these pres
ents as decided upon by Mr.. Phillips is
as follows:
| Every person bringing in copy of
any of the advertisements cut out Of
any of these papers and making pur-
chase of 81 or over, will be given a
six months subscription to new
80 page Magazine, called Modes and
Fabrics, or q large picture, an exact
copy of the celebrated $4,000 painting
of Queen Louise.
/ WITH 9o.Vu purCHdSe anu copy
of any of the advertisements he will
give absolutely free a large picture
size 1928 inches, neatly framed.
These pictures retail in art stores at
i $1.O0. With $1,000 purchase and a
copy of the advertisements he will
give free, your choice of the following
beautiful presents: A guaranteed
silver plated cream pitcher, suger bowl.
bon bon dish, or
Genuine American Watch
4 A watch that he guaranteed to keep
perfect time for one year. This is a
golden opportunity to secure a beauti.
full Christmas present free. The So
and SIS premiums must be purchased
at one time. Customers desiring the
$40 premiums can leave their names,
; and if the aggregate of their purchases
. amounts to $40 before December /,
they may have their choice Of any OF
+ the premiums.
