RENT PAYS FOR LAND
Fertile Sections of the Southwest
Where Land Sells for $I5 and
Rents for S, Per Acre


One of the remarkable things about
Eastern Arkansas and Northern
Louisiana is the fact that cleared
land rents for S. per. acre cash, and
can be bought for $3.50 to SIS per
acre. 1t costs from So to $Io an acre
to clear it. Other improvements nee
sary are slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made.
1t produces bale of cotton per acre,
worth $45 or 500. This accounts for
its high rental value Other crops,
such as corn, small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as we'll
Alfalfa yields four to six cuttings,
ton to the cutting, and brings $Io
to $I6 per ton.
In other sections of these States,
and in Texas as well, the rolling or
hill land is especially adapted to
stock raising and fruit growing.
Land is very cheap, S. to $Io per
acre; improved farms SO, SIS to $25
per acre.

4 Receipt For His Brain.

An Ohio politician enjoys telling of a
political discussion he once overheard
in country grocery store.
In some way the argument, quite a
heated one, degenerated into dispute
in which one side took the position
that the others We're crazy TO entertain
such political tenets as theirs.
At this point solemn looking indi-
vidual who up to this time had held
his peace suddenly interjected:
Scents, l want to say that I'm the
only sane man here that has the papers
to prove it,
The crowd gazed upon him in aston
ishment.
1T is true, gents" continued the sol
emn looking individual as he drew
forth a document from the recesses of
his coat. Here's my discharge from

He meant terminate, of course; but,
having made the mistake, he was
bound to stick to it, He therefore drew
himself up to his full height and said:
Mrs. Bowser / said generate, and

about

What Il woman thinks amounts to
mighty little. Do you wish this matter

NO. I'd like to hear what you have

Here is the record of it in my book. 1t

How long a time should it take these

Two or three weeks. 1t depends up
on the warmth and richness of the

That would be the answer of the
average farmer, and that is what I
complain of. He ought to know within
a day. an hour. 1t should make diff
ference to him whether it takes five or
twenty days. As lie hasn't yet figured
the question out for himself, I'm going
to do it. Do you know what quarters
the moon is in tonight?'
II don't keep any track of the
moon"
tsOf course not There isn't one wO-
man in ten thousand who knows there
is such thing in the heavens. Some
day when / get time will tell you
what the moon is. Sufficient for the
present to say that at 8 o'clock this
evening the moon will be in the right

Mrs. Bowser.

in my calculations, but I shall cut it

Mrs. Bowser had nothing further to
say on the subject to him, but went
down to the kitchen and informed the
cook that Mr. Bowser would make an
experiment with cucumber seeds and
that there was no danger of an explo-
sion.

Mr.. Bowser scrambled up. The alley

passing along had thrown an old peach

speeding boy and made threats and

1t wasn't. 1t may have been a

heaved an old potato at the recumbent
figure. The missile struck the fence
close by, and Mr.. Bowser sat up and
thirsted for gore. 1t was five minutes
before he had his ear to the ground

Mr.. Bowser cast one long, lingering
look at his cucumber bed, listened fol
a moment to see if he could hear any
more ticks and then humbly followed
the woman of destiny into the house to
takes his medicine. NJ. QUAD.

These girls had all been spending
their substance unsatisfactory at
crowded resorts aud resolved TO try
the simple life and get back to
nature for a change. So they
bought a few acres of land on the
shores of mountain lake. and had
kind of octagonal cabin built and
furnished. The cabin had two
stories, the downstairs with living
room, dining room and kitchen,
the upstairs with eight compart-
ments as bedrooms for the eight
partners. The writer gives the
items of cost of the cabin, which
amounted in all to only 100000,
and the whole seasons expenses,
including the cabin which remain
ed for other seasons, were no more
than the cost OF former vacations,
which had vanished leaving moth
