those great centers of wealth and popu-
lation. But here you can get that IN
telligent and widespread publicity that
is not only needful but necessary for

will continue to hold the center of the
stage among her sisters OF the Trans
mississippi country. She stands in the
limelight and the eyes OF the worlc
are upon her. She is the center OF nj
area over the hills and valleys of which
wander more sheep than were ever
dreamed of by Abraham when he es'
tablished the white wonder of his pa
triarchal tents amid the silences OF tht
virgin plains of Urr of the Chaldees
She Is the center of that vast livestock
domain known as the Transmissouri re-
| gion whose broad plains run, save
| where they are broken by the Rockies
| from the banks of the great river
| to the shores of the Pacific, and she Is
the residential center of your member
