BARGAINS
In Both Farms and
City Property.

We have recently secured for
sale what we consider an excep-
tional opportunity for invest
ment, in the shape OF a ranch OF
5000 acres in Clark county. By
referring to a map OF Kansas
you will see that Clark county is
in the second tier OF counties
west OF Barton, but considerably
south. The ranch has been in
litigation for several years, but
the litigation is now settled, and
the court has ordered the land
sold. This land is located two
and one-half miles from a station
on the Rock Island, andl four
and one-half miles from another
good little town. There are two
sets OF improvements; one con.
sisting OF a new five room house,
work shop, good stable, milk
house, well, windmill and tank,
telephone in the house. The
other set of improvements con.
sists of a three room house,
horse barn, cattle shed, good
we'll and windmill and watering
tanks. The ranch is fenced into
five fields and pastures, with
about twenty-five miles of good
fencing, 1000 acres of this
ranch is good rich farming land,
the balance being rough, but al
good soil, and having a heavy
growth OF blue-stem and buffalo
grass. There is more than a
mile OF fine running water, from
springs; 800 acres OF the rich
bottom corn and wheat land il
in cultivation; 800 acres creel
bottom land, well suited for al
falfa. 10 acres being we'll set ant
Igrowing in alfalfa.
Price of this tract is $3.50 pc,

farmers who own their Owl
farms to buy 20 head each O
these cattle. Here is an oppor
tunity for you to get into thor
oughbred stock. We will sci

ure. The local conditions in
Sterling seem to have been dupli-
Gated in surrounding counties.
Maintaining a fair under the old
conditions is a hard proposition.
A few are successful. but the
large majority gradually shrink
to small proportions and wink
out. In few years the project
is taken up again bv new enthusi-
asts, is a success for a few years,
then follows the course of former
fairs. People get tired of the
same old fakes. the same old
horse races, the same old pink
lemonade and doctored cider.
They want something new. The
town that can invent something
novel and attractive is the one
which will catch the crowd. 1t
would be a good scheme for the
Sterling fair management and
Commercial Club to get together
and plan something new for the
