THE GREAT
SOUTHWEST
MANY SEEKING HOMES WHERE
LANDS ARE CHEAP AND
CLIMATE is MILD.
Low Rate for Homeseekers and Colonists
Twice q Month.


Many farmers in the Northern and
Eastern states are selling their high
priced lands and locating in the South
west-in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Texas. Many who have been
unable to own their homSe in the older
country are buying land at the low
prices prevailing in the new country-s5,
$40, SIS per acre and up. These lands
are mostly cut-over timber lands, some
of them possessing deep rich coil
producing corn, wheat, oats, clover,
cotton, fruits and vegetables. Well
improved farms are scattered through
out this country. Many places with
small clearing and some improvements
can be bought very cheap. Our
descriptive literature gives a fairly good
idea OF this country. 1t tells about the
soil, crops, climate, people, schools and
churches, water, health. 1t contains
maps showing location OF counties,
towns, railways and streams, and gives
pames and addresses OF real estate
dealers in the towns.
Reduced rates for homeseekers and
colonists are In effect first and third

whatever, as nearly all points on the

matter between these two points will
necessarily have to pass through two

THE ART OF DRESSING.

The time was when it was a reproach

could not dress well. Look where you

any meeting in which women speak or
put in an appearance at a woman's club
where the majority of the fair sex are
doing something in he world of litera
ture or art and you will see that in the
matter of fashion and style they are
able to hold their own with the most
feather headed butterfly of fashion.
They bring their common sense, their
knowledge of the world and the income
their wits provide them to bear on
dress. and so many of them have ac-
quired the subtle art of putting on
clothes, virtues which the society but
tertlies have claimed for their own
Moreover. they are acquiring what the
best bred women only did acquire at
one time-the art of knowing when to
wear their clothes-in fact, the suita-
bility of raiment. It is not a difficult
task to dress becomingly with a pretty
face and good figure, but one of the
features of our day is that the modern
woman seems to have the power of
making herself good looking, or at all
events of looking well. The art of
dressing is to render a squat figure
