OF the SOIL QemOuStIdtcu duu
the larger farms reduced in size
by a greater increase of inhabi-
tants, and $50 to $50 an acre
will be the ruling prices. In
creasing the population further,
in proportion, for instance, to
that prevailing in the Mid
die Western States of the u. S.
Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and In
diana and the same land would
sell for 800 to $3.50 an acre.
Transfer it again across the
ocean to the densely populated
sections of Europe, in England.
Ireland, France and Germany.
and it would sell for from $500
to S40O an acre. This Compari
son could be carried on to those
| few favored sections of the
globe where the population is
so dense and the products of the
soil so valuable that land readi-
ly sells at from $500 to $1,000 an
acre.
A proper understanding of
these laws of value and popula
ton will enable every man in
the U. S. to lay the foundation
! for future wealth The s,arfaCe
of this old earth has never in-@l
creased since it first was whirled
into space by the L n ii n t e
Hand. Man has increased year
by year and century by century.
Not only this, but his neccessi
ties and his Injuries have in
creased, so that today he as an
individual requires more food
and more clothing than ever be-
fore in the history of the world.
1t is, therefore, certain that as
time goes on, the products OF
the soil will show gradual in
crease. Not that they will do
so necessarily, from year to
year, but from period to period
this increase undoubtedly will
come about. And by it, the land
that produces food and clothing
must necessarily increase in
value.
The citizens of Texas have a
wonderful opportunity. They !
can buy land as productive as
any on the face OF this earth at
a price SO low that the land will
in few years pay for itself,
and then pay its owner it's value
again and again as the years go
by. Furthermore, the man with
small means is enabled to not
only get cheap land but to buy
on easy terms and make the
land work with him in paying
) itself out. A farm with debt
: on it in new country does not
denote lack of thrift and enter
prise; on the contrary, it shows
that such countries are inhabit-
ed by men of nerve and great
| foresight. That they realize
the wonderful opportunity Of
fered them in this great state to
become land owners, and that
they expect in the future not
only to sell their products TO
: the commerce of the world, but
to lend their surplus money,
which they have accumulated
with the help of the rich soil of
Texas, to those who live in less
! fortunate countries.
] In no section Of Texas today
: can the land buyer and home
! seeker find such opportunities
offered him as in the Panhandle
: country. Here lands are com
! paratively very cheap, the coun-
try is still new, and while well
q within the great agricultural
belt of North Texas, it offers OPP
= portunities for money making
: and land purchasing which can
= be found in no section OF the
{ United States as in this western
country. Unlike, however,
! most undeveloped sections, the
Panhandle offers the homeseek
d er all of those benefits 'oi civil

ciate that hospitality is a cardinal viz

Of It. Its duty should be to invite visit

yust,narle Riotirr.

AEews item rom Millsi.ie, n J..pub-
lished in the Philadelphia Record
should give satisfaction to all who have
fallen victims to the grand concert inn
nediately after the main performance
announcement. 1t was nothing but the
description Of riot, and rioting is prop
erly condemned by the law-abiding. And
yet-there are riots and riots. and We are
apt to excuse some of them on the ground
that the punishment fits the crime snug
ly. The Millville populace went to the
Lyceum theater to see the performance
OF travelling troupe Of actors. 1t was
road show OF no conspicuous merit,
and for two acts the gallery was properly
lenient and respectful. AS the lights
went up after the close OF the second
act the manager Of the troupe came to
the front of the stage and announced that
lar show, and that the admission price
would be % cents. Then members Of
the company went down among the au-
dience selling tickets for the after-eer-
formance Now, alta circus this custom
is established. The Audience knows very

and danseuse with an uncertain voice
to pass the time untii the stakes arc
pulled and the tent is ready to come
down. says the New York Post. But the
deception is taken good naturally. On
| the other hand, the concert following a
road company performance has neither
precedent to justify it nor merit to
recommend it. Naturally, therefore. few
bought tickets. When the time came to
eject all who had not paid to see the con-
cert Millville protested. Some one
switched out the electric lights, chairs
began to fly through the windows, and
the actors escaped down the back stairs
toIflee to their car. Even there they were
besieged. The unexampled audacity OF
this company OF touring players had
stirred the rage of the New Jersey manu-
featuring town, and before the car left
the siding it had the appearance OF hay-
Ing met a troupe Of careless and happy

Importance of Good Degree Work.
Triple Link Notes.


II is next TO impossible to have a
successful lodge unless the lodge is
prepared TO Ito good degree work. says
the Odd Fellows Review. If your
lodge is without a degree STAFF you
should organize one Mt once and get
ready for the winters harvest. There
are plenty OF candidates who VIII come
in as soon AZ you are in position to
do good work properly. No matter IT,
lodge attendance Is small so long as
you have quorum you have mem
bers enough to start degree staff, and
If properly started the staff win draw
material. 1t Is worth trying even
though you fail but you will not fail
IL you really try.
