UNPARALLELED Opportunity

In comparison with offers of beautiful
farms in rich South Plains of Texas (cut right
out Of the far-famed $4,000 acre Running Water
Ranch recently purchased by us) all other land
propositions dwindle into insigni6cance. Judged
by the standard of land values in the great
Mississippi Valley States, we. ought to ask five
to ten times than we do for these fertile
farms. Considering the actual crop yields from
exactly the same kind of land we are selling,
we are almost giving these farms away If any
other land company controlled this great body
of rich Running Water Ranch land they would
undoubtedly ask double what we charge. Yet
we are not forced to sell this land. Neither are
we selling at these low prices from bhilant1ropie
notices But the sale of Our s7ooo-acre Run
ming Water Ranch is simply part of the grand
est colonization movement ever undertaken in
Texas any other state, for in addition to
Running Water Ranch we own and control thous-
ands upon thousands of acres of land in the
South Plains of Texas-our total land holdings
exceeding 100000 acres!
There are portions of this ranch, already under
cultivation, that the owners would not sell for
500 acre. Think of b1tving the same kind
of land, capable of producing the same yields,
at $3.50 to $40 per acre!
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-09-30

Nature has poured out her bounties in fullest
measure on the great South Plains. The soil
is so rich, and SO we'll adapted to diversified
farming, that all the great staple crops grow to
perfection On the north end of the Running
Water Ranch there are upwards of 1000 acres
of Alfalfa growing-producing revenue as
high $40 to Sos per acre. From four to six
crops of Alfalfa every year. Wheat yields as
much as 40 bushels per acre. Corn yields from
40 to go bushels per acre. Millet yields to 4
tons per acre. Oats are good crop, while Milo
maize, and Kaffir yield 80 to go bushels per
acre. Fruits and vegetables grow in great
diana, Illinois or Iowa is selling today for $500
to $3.50 per acre. Yet, by prompt action you can
get one of these grand South Plains farms for
$3.50 to $50 per acre, on easy terms. The very
day you get your deed to one of these farms,
you have practically doubled your money, for you
would be foolish to part with it for twice what
it cost you.
Cheap land will soon be thing of the past.
"Baek to the land!" is the cry today, and there
in the Mississippi Valley have advanced ire
mendously. What chance has the young man of
small means to acquire good farm in the Cen
trail West where land is selling at $780, 500 and
$15O an acre? What chance has the tenant far
mer to get home of his own in such localities?
Down in the South Plains of Texas is the only
place to go for rich farming land at low prices.
Running Water Ranch is the place for the
young who wants to get start. It's the
place for the tenant farmer to get home of
his own. It's the place for the man who is try
irg to make living on poor land It's the
place for the investor who wants to III Re money
quickly without taking the risks involved in
speculative ventures. This land will never be
cheaper. The values are sure to go up by leaps

DREW PLAYMATE TO SAFETY
Boys Goodness and Presence Of Mind
Saved Little Girl from osath
by Drowning.

Remarkable bravery and presence
of mind were recently shown by a
six-year-old boy named John Collins,
the son of farm laborer living at
Marden, Kent, England. Several
children were playing on the side
of stream, when Isabel Briant, a
gir< aged seven, fell into five feet of
water. Thereupon a panic ensued
among the other children, who ran
of crying to tell her parents, but the
boy, John Collins, displayed the ut
most GOODNESS and presence of mind.
Breaking long branch from an ash
sucker near by, he quickly ran along
a plank, only II inches wide, and
held the branch out to the drowning
girl, who was able to grasp it. Then
walking along the plank the boy
pulled the girl IA feet through the
water to some brickwork, where,
after . hard struggle, he succeeded
in landing her just as the terrified
parents came running on the spot.
In giving his version of the rescue
the little hero remarked, "When she
got hold of the stick she did swim"

PErRlFIEo HUMAN Lxo.

In Shenandoah, Pa, coal mine,
a petrified leg of man has been
found by miner. The limb is per-
fectly formed, although it is larger
than the ordinary size. 1t is very
heavy, requiring three men to carry
it. Near the spot where the find was
made several specimens of the car
boniferous age have been unearthed.
The miners are daily expecting to
find the rest of the petrifed body,
but it is said that there will be no
further discoveries, as a sudden
break occurs in the strata at that
place. Recently petrified hen was
found there, which resembles an OF.
binary hen in every particular.

TO HONOR LORD Give.

Lord Give, that hero of strong
passions, strong temptations, and
brilliant achievements, has never un-
til now been rightly honored by his
countrymen. He was refused peer
age, and was rebuked and praised by
his fellow-members of the house Of
commons in one breath. He was, in
short, finally driven to self-destruc-
ton at the age Of 40. Nearly a CEN
fury and half later the first statues
are to be erected in his memory.
Lord Curzon announces that the
sum of $4,000 has been collected
for two statues of Give. One, in
bronze, is to be set up in Westmin-
ster at the end of the broadened
roadway of Charles Street, White
hall, facing st. James park.
