You must get these laws behind you,
and then you always win in the
worlds affairs.
You can understand our offer II you
will read our special circular about
your money back. You can see how it
is done; even how you could do 1t

Make these laws work for you and
your protection. There's more for me
to tell you-but Read the Plan, Folks,

FARM HOMES VERSUS CITY
PROPERTY.
would not blame your wife for not
contemplating life upon farm with
pleasure If it meant the rugged hard
ships of the old days or the old East.
But it is different here in California,
and 1t is different now in 1908 than 1t
was in her girlhood.
Every invention and a great part OF
the legislation has been tending to
make farm itfe better and farm lands
more valuable.
Land has two distinct values. First,
its productive value; second, It's resi-
dental value.
Your wife knows what the telephone
has done for farm life. She knows
what the rural free delivery of mail
has done, the trolley lines, the automo-
biles, but greatest of all these for the
future is the revolution in the resi-
dence value of farm land that will be
created by the inauguration OF prac-
teal airships, which are now almost
at hand.
Answer successfully the beautiful
problem of what effect airships are
going to have upon outside lands, and
you have probably unravelled the rid
die of permanent prosperity for your
self and your descendants for all time
to come.
Is the airship going to be Of an
benefit to a little miserable 6O-root
town lot?
In every way that you consider the
question you find that farm land Is In
creasing in its ratio Of value as meas
ured by the other human necessities
or commercial commodities.
Land is going up out Of your reach
faster than you can earn money al
ordinary wages to acquire 1t.

tural methods have been so improved
that we stand today upon firmer rock
than ever before.
You know what the Cotton Gin did
for the cotton industry.
Do you know what the raisin seeder
did for the raisin industry?
Did you observe what the new tent

You surely have observed the effect
of refrigeration in transporting our
products?
These inventions and new methods
also apply to a better farm practice.
In the methodical arrangements of
irrigation systems, soil is handled a
great deal more intelligently and
profitably with regard to its future
usage.

OUR NEW PLAN OF HOME SEcUR-
ING.
The Home Extension Plan Is based
upon the fact that you want farm
home In California and the other
equally we'll known fact that there
are thousands and hundreds Of thou
sands who also want the same thing.
We invite you to our evening stere-
opticon lectures, held in our big hall
on the ground floor Of the Chamber of
Commerce Building every week day
and night.
We invite you to join the Homeseek-
ers' Club.
We invite you to take land in any
one of the colonies that we will open
during the year.
We opened four Of them during the
year OF 1907, and every one who was a
member had the right to choose from
among these four the land which he
wanted.
In every case we are able to secure
from land owners arrangements by
which we can offer you the land In
small or large parcels at the very low
est possible wholesale prices, in some
cases even lower than you would be
compelled to pay for thousands OF
acres.
Land owners who have immense
holdings realize that our Homeseek-
ers' Club brings in a great population
which enhances the value Of all their
adjoining territory, and this makes
them more anxious and willing to open
their lands to our members than they
would be to sell for mere cash to
some speculator.
Because we deal only with clubs of
people and do not retail the land with
the enormous expenses of such long
time campaigns and big investments
of capital, we have been able to make
the record of six land distributions
during the past three years that have
been a marvel to the people Of Call
fornia.
Call at our OFFICES during the day.
Our offices occupy almost the entire
ground floor, main entrance. Chamber
of Commerce.
Come down during the day time and

in Tulare county, are strongly rein
forced by this remarkable opening on
an average Of SIS an acre for land that
is worth six times its cost today.
WHAT THIS LAND GROWS.
This land grows the finest canning
peaches In California, time tried and
tested for thirty years.
You may get contract at $25 per
ton from the California Cannery AS
ISOLATION to cover a period of ten
years. Your average yield will run
from to 20 tons. according to the
season.
1t is great dairy land and alfalfa
land, corn land, CELERY, ASPARA-
GUS and VEGETABLE LAND. Celery
from these lands is already heing
shipped into the best hotels CT the
city of Los Angeles, who will use no
other, not even the famous Orange
county celery.
The Home Extension Association
actually believes that these lands will
retail from $3.50 up to as high as $3.50
within very few years.
There have been reasons why the
lands In the southern part of the
San. Joaquin Valley have remained at
low price up until this late dSy.
The rainfall has always been light,
and enormous cattle compani's have
held vast domains away from the
reach Of homeseekers.
Such large cattle companies can
not deal with you individually, but
In Homeseekers' Clubs through the
Home Extension Association, you may
go upon these lands at their low,
present-day values, and secure that
homeplace, which you know should
be yours.
NOW, BE QUICK,
Come in and talk 1t over, or send
the first payment of $3.50 per acre,
for some of this land. If you do not
reside in the city, | will select 1t for
you.
The opening Of these lands is an
old and long-past opportunity, come
back to shake hands with you and
give you one more chance.
You have nothing to take on faith.
The soil is here and the water 10
running in the canals.
Everything is ready for the plow
and the hoe and the harvest.
This opportunity is open now, but
In a few weeks, even in few days,
it may be gone from you, and once
past is not likely ever to be met with
again.
As the population Of the United
States will increase over two and a
half times during the next forty-two
years, what proportion Of that in
crease will come to Californias fer
tile lands?
We have always had far more than
our share Of the increase.

ing should not be construed to mean
that creation is unreal. but that it is
not what it seems. One may properly
declare an Elusive sense of any given
thing to be unreal, even while the
thing itself is real. In Science we
attach the term reality only to the
immutable and eternal. We believe
that in our present unspiritual condi-
ton we have a more OF less erroneous
concept of God and creation which
will gradually disappear rs we advance
Spirituality that this progress will con-
tinue until finally we shall awake in
the likeness of God, when we shall see
as He sees, heaven and earth in all
their beauty, perfection and spiritual
lty: and the false human view will
have passed away forever. One speaks
of the beauties and wonders of nature
and asks, Do you mean to say that all
of this is illusion? We answer, no, but
it is not material and perishable. Paul

completed the work upon this big
Seventh Home Extension Colony.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Does this mean that your children
are going to be among those who may
have to go to Hawaii and the Philip
pines-to contest on the low life-levels
of the Mongolians, for mere exist
ence?
Only twenty or thirty years ago you
or your friends could have taken up
government land out here where
Hollywood now stands.
They could have secured quarter
section of land near Los Angeles at a
price for which you are now struggling
to pay for a miserable town lot.
You have seen these orchards and
| farm home lands grow from nothing
ness to fabulous richness. With these
last few remaining stretches of open
land you will pass the opportunity
which, once gone, cannot ever come
back again to you, nor your children,
nor those who come after them?
WHO'S A FARMER?
l did not say that you were, but
am, and you may be.
Put away all your doubts and fears
about not making a success at farm
ing. The Home Extension Plan pro-
vides for that and provides for your
financial mistakes also.
Read the Plan. Read the Plan.
Read the Plan.
The best and most successful or
chardists in California came from the
ranks of professional and mechanical
circles.
No boss ever treated his employees
so kindly as a good farm home will do.
| A farm home will not guarantee you
Immunity from work.
| But the farm home always gives you
the best of employment and the sweet
est and purest and best of returns.
The farm home is the only employer
that guarantees to you that your fam
lily will never be homeless nor in
want, forever and over, so long as the
government at Washington lives.
The New Plan Book of the Home
Extension Association will tell you
how our clubs Of homeseekers are
formed.
How you secure the land at the low
est possible wholesale prices consist
emit with good, strong, intelligent man
agement.
How you can live upon the land for
three years and have all the crops and
enjoy a home there, and If 1t does not
come up to your expectations, or If
you do not like life In the country it
will not cost you cent to turn the
land back and have it free Of rent,
positively clear, for three whole years.
All OF these things, and more.

Grant the Hero.

When General Grant was seized with
his fatal illness in the autumn of 1884
he appeared before the world in an en-
tirely new character From being view
ed as the stern, uncompromising and
conquering military commander, the
revelation of his simple resignation in
the face of great suffering claimed for
him new fame as a hero in another
sense. His last battle, with the great
conQueror destined him for grander
laurels than were gained on any Of his
many triumphant fields. 1t was the
purely human side of his nature that
then appealed to the general sympathy
of mankind. Thus his last and only
surrender was his greatest victory. If
it had been otherwise, history would
have cheated itself Of an example OF
Christian fortitude the like Of which
has been seldom recorded.-Dr. G. F
Shrady in Century.

problem our gray haired veterans
wrestled with and conquered fifty
years ago. Half a century ago the
strong men of our nation were con-
fronted with the hideous wrong of one
human race in the bonds of slavery
to another human race. The defenders
of the institution of slavery, which
flourished entirely in the southern part
of our country. were keenly alive to
the growing opposition being mani
tested in the north and exerted all
their power and influence towards rem
dering permanent the gross moral and
economic wrong they were perpetrat-
ing 1t was natural that the north
erners should awaken to the anomaly
of allowing such an institution to flour

should be free and equal within its
