Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-03-23

Around the Preside or about the well-lighted
family reading table during the winter evenings the
children and grown-ups can play with their wits
and see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest number of words
will each receive a little box containing a $1,000
gold piece.
10 persons will each win one box containing
$500 gold piece.
300 people will each win box containing $I.oo
in paper money; and one person who makes the
highest number of words over all contestants will
receive a box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really most fascinating bit of fun to take
up the list evening after evening and see how many
words can be added.
A few rules are necessary for absolute fair play.
ANY word authorized by Webster's Dictionary
will be counted but name of person. Both the
singular and plural can be used, as for instance
grape and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nu Nuts" may be re-
peated in the same word
Geographical names authorized by Webster will
be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical classes, all
those beginning with A together and those begin
ming with E to come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the words leave
some spaces, in the A, E, and other columns to
| fill in later as new words come to you, for they
will spring into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some contestants will
| tie with others. In such cases prize identical
in value and character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to EACH Each one will be
| requested to send with the list of words plainly
written letter describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts but the contestant not required to purchase
pkg These letters are not to contain poetry, or
fancy Aourshes but simple, truthful statements of
facts. For illustration: A person may have expert
enced some incipient or chronic ails traceable to
unwse selection of food that failed to give the body
and brain the energy health and power desired.
Seeking better conditions change in food is made
and Grape-Nuts and cream used in place of the
former diet. Suppose one quits the meat, fried
potatoes, starchy, sticky messes of hafcooked oats
or wheat and cuts out the coffee Try say, for
breakfast bit of fruit, dish of Grape-Nuts and
Cream, two soft boiled eggs, slice of hard toast
and cup of Postum Food Coffee. Some amateur

sources which are but in the infancy
OF their development. There is no
other part Of the Republic which
makes stronger appeal to enterpris-
ing men, whether they have large or
small capital. 1t Is beautiful Goun-
try healthful country and a country
which holds out every promise of So
cial satisfaction for those who 90 there
to make their homes.
The most amazing thing about the
South is the cheapness Of its fertile
agricultural lands, though one hears
on every hand that prices have gone
up considerably during the past few
years. They must have been giving
land away before, for after years Of
national prosperity and wonderful
strides In local settlement and deve-
lopment, one can still buy fine farm
ing land at prices ranging from So an
acre upward.
People regard $25 an acre as "a
pretty stiff price for lands which
would be considered very reasonable
at three or four times as much under
the same conditions in Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Washington, or California.
True, the Far Western lands are irri-
gated, and irrigation is sort of mir
acle which, among other things, gives
extraordinary value to land. But we
can compare these fertile Southern
lands with the agricultural districts of
Illinois, Iowa, and other prairie States,
and still they are literally dirt cheap.
There is no way to account for it ex-
cept that the process Of readjustment,
which has been going on since the
War, has not yet brought Southern
land up to the level of prices prevail
ing in other parts of the United States.
With regard to markets. In the
West, we are accustomed to long dis
tances. When we start on journey,
we do not expect to arrive anywhere
