"ARTESIA GARDEN
LANDS"

About 100 miles south of San An
tonia, Texas, lies tract of $4,000 acl es
called the "Artesia Garden Lands" so
named because the deep, rich soil and
the mild climate make the land es-
pecially adapted to the growing of all
kinds of garden truck, fruits and vege-
tables. You can find no finer fruit
or truck lands anywhere. Truckers
have been realizing from 5000 to $500
an acre from their lands in this sec
ton. There is no Netter alfalfa land
In this country, that crop producing
from seven to nine cuttings each year.
and each cutting yielding from l to
III tons per acre, which sells readily
for from $40 to So per ton. Rocky
Ford cantaloupes grow to perfection
on this land as do all other kinds of
truck, fruit and vegetables. Corn and
cotton do equally as we'll. From this
land you get three crops each year, any
one of which would pay for a number
of acres of the land. The soil is deep
and rich; the climate is fine and
healthy; the location is near town
schools and churches; the price is ex-
tremely low. Can sell 4e-acre tracts
and up at $3.50 per acre; one-halt
cash, balance on easy terms. You can
raise a crop in less than ninety days
and pay off the balance without in
terest So down and investigate for
yourself. Cheap rates. Next excur-
sion November 9Th; only $25 for the
round trip from Chicago. Why rent
land? Why work for another and gel
just enough to live on? Buy 40 acres
or more of this garden spot, and in e
few years you will be independent

The democracy of the bath Is a
good institution. One Of the most

true principle of social segregation.

the barrier made by a poTcelain-lined
