company the month Of December
usually brings the heaviest daily mails,

previous records were broken. ON that
day the actual number of lettersreceiv-

It's Good AS Gold.

There's nothing that beats good
Iowa farm for an investment. The Iowa
farmer who has understood his business
and attended to it for the last few years
has made more money than any bust
ness man in legitimate lines. Iowa
farms are going up out of sight in price,
their value, measured in dollars and
cents having almost doubled within the
past five to len years.
AS to their profitableness even at this
figure the Souix City Tribune has the
following evidence to offer:
A great deal is being said these days
as to whether profitable returns can be
had on Iowa farms at $50 to 500 an
acre. Probably the farmer himself is
the best judge and he seems to think
Iowa real estate good investment at
the above figures. The writer recently
had conversation with German citi.
zen Of Woodbury. county who has just
returned from visit to Germany. He
values his half section of Woodbury.
county land at $65 per acre and says he
had rather live on it at that figure than
farm in the fatherland at any price.
Nineteen years ago he came to America
without a dollar and to-day he owns his
land and has money in the bank. To
be sure he didn't pay $50 an acre for
the land, but he is making good
money on it at that valuation; not by
raising grain to sell. but by feeding and
marketing the best breeds of cattle and
hogs he can procure. This is the key
move to the prosperity of the Iows
farmer and to the Increased valuation o1
Iowa lands. The farmers are raising
the best horses, cattle, hogs and Other
stock on the best land OH earth, and
getting the best prices for them
cost of prodaction considered. Iowa
land is certainly worth the prices it i
bringing and will no doubt continue t,
