EQUAL RIGHTS

END TO THE MONOPOLY or

rights of all nations to enter those

nations of America, Great Britain
and Japan have so earnestly contend

LAND is STILL CHEAP.

We often hear the complaint that
land is too high around Walla Walla
and that this is one reason why this
section has not received it's just quota
of the thousands of homeseekers who
have come west the past few years.
AS a matter of fact, figuring on the
returns received from garden and
fruit lands around Walla Walla, $3.50
or even $3.50 an acre is cheap and even
on land selling as high as $500 an
acre. farmers are able to make an
enormous interest on their invest
ments Numerous instances where
gardeners and fruit growers i'll the
vicinity of Walla Walla have cleared
from $3.50 to $3.50 an acre have been
cited this year. Onion land west of the
city is netting as high as $3.50 and
$500 an acre. Land netting $3.50 an
acre, it can readily be seen, is easily
worth $500 all acre. Being naturally
sub-irrigated SOL, the owners are not
compelled to maintain expensive irri-
cation plants. a constant drain which
farmers of the irrigated districts are
compelled to bear in order to make
their land productive. Fruit and veg
etable growing in the Walla Walla
valley is just in its infancy and
this industry bids fair to become even
more profitable than the raising of
wheat ana that within a very few
years. The Introduction of cheap power
for irrigation will soon open up to the
fruit and vegetable grower, hundreds
of acres in the foothill district now
producing only wheat or other cereal
crops. There are thousands of acres
of laid between Walla Walla and the
foothills adapted to fruit and vege-
table growing, land that now can be
bought for SIS an acre. but which car
be made to produce returns on a val
uat1on of $3.50 an acre or even more
The only thing needed to make thi:
vast section one of the richest districts
in the valley, is cheap transport atior
IN order TO market produce quickly
This, however, is only matter of tim,
as within five years electric lines viii
traverse every part of this fertile val
ley. If this could be forcibly pointe,
out or demonstrated to homeseeker
coming west. the cry that land is to,
high around Walla Walla would h
silenced and effectively too.

ADJUSTMENTS
Circus Tomorrow.

Those who go to the circus to laugh
VII be kept busy when Ringing Bros
circus visits Walla Walla tomorrow. No
circus performance in the past has
had the abundance of genuine comedy
and hearty laughter that characterize
the clown stunts to be seer. under the
canvas of this great show There are
just fifty of these merry men, and
they are constantly streaming in from
the mysterious curtained opening at
the side of the band pavilion, tickling
The risibles of the audience with the
newest of drolleries.
And these jolly fellows are strictly
up to date. They scorr. to resort to
the slap stick and the inflated bag to
get a laugh. Every one of them is an
ever-fiowing well spring of comedy
antics. Here are some of the things
they do that people are still laughing
at where the circus has appeared: Fun
ny George Hartzel is doing a Sherlock
wooden Indian laugh: AL Miaco's gas
trust pantomine is howl from start
to finish: Jules Turnour creates much
laughter by side splitting duel
scene: Doe Kealey is the funny police
man of the arena; AL White springs a
surprise on the audience that is fol-
lowed by shouts of laughter; Dick Ford
brings his clown pig out on the track
and all thoughts of care and worry
! lake to the woods; Art Jarvis has but
to look at the audience and he has
everybody laughing: John Slater does
a haEd-organ serenade and is ar
rested for disturbing the peace; Hor-
ton and Under do a burlesque trapeze
act with a breakaway finish; the
| Livingston, the Prose. and the Marno

ures. and the funniest clown act ever
devised is introduced by the celebrated

The Limit Of Life,

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion. that
the generally accepted limitation Of
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines it's duration, seems to be
between so and go; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged: carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Natures

vitalizes every organ of the body.
