FARM HOMES AT FIRST COST.
If you had a chance to buy 10 or 20
acres of good land, well supplied
market value-would you take 1t?
Would you take tiff the land was
located where you knew in advance
that values would increase threefold
BEFORE YOUR FIRST PAYMENT
WAS DUE?
Would you take it If you could get
this land on easy terms-remember
at HALF IT'S MARKET VALUE?
We have a new plan for securing
homes, which will do all this-and
more-for you. A large tract of best
land in we'll established district will
be subdivided and distributed to sew
eral hundred families at the actual
cost price per acre of the entire
tract. and on terms easier than pay
ing rent.
Land values will double WITHIN
"a HOURS after location has been Sc
lected If you do not investigate this
at once, it will be because you think
this is advertising talk" and not the
truth
1t IS the truth-and you will miss
n great opportunity if you do not call
at our offices or write for informa-
tion at once.
No land for spectators. Only those
desiring homes need apply.

Old Orange Tree Still Prolific.
Trait Crump brought to the Bee Of
fee to-day several specimens of the.
fruit from what he considers one of
the most remarkable orange trees in
California. The tree is 55 years old,
but shows no sign of intention of 60
ing out of business
In 1S49 Thomas Hanna, an early
day auctioneer, returned to these
shores from a visit to the Sandwich
islands with the tree in small oyster
can. He presented it to Mrs. Crump
in 1851, after having provided box
for the tree and nursed its growth un.
Ill it was three feet high.
The highest yearly yield from the
old tree has been 1,500 golden globes.

good man. Here was refuge. here was
solace, here was balm for her bruised
pride. He was honorable. too, and of

guard her honor, and he would not ask
her to give up her millions for n
whim, only to scorn her when she had
shown herself willing to make the
sacrifice.
Smiling upon him with certain
wistful grace, she asked If he would
take her without explanation.

Why Not Sign "Y'rs2"

In these days, when economy of
time and space are of the highest i'm
portance, it seems to me that some
of the conventionaiities of correspond
ence might we'll be abolished.
Why should We write Dear sir
and then make a pause and begin
a fresh line? Why could not all we
have to say flow straight on in the
same line from Dear sir?'
Again, why should we take three
lines-and this, perhaps, is more inn
portant-over the conclusion of our
letters? 1t strikes me that it would
be infinitely simpler and more con-
venient if you concluded letter thus:
Il am, dear sir. your obedient serv
ant, Ed'ard Cuttle," all in one line.
Can anyone tell me the reason of this
custom and when it was originated!
