1T IS TO LAUGH
If YOU SEE POINT
Faithful Herrin Henchmen Are
Turned Down, to Their
Great Dismay
Thought Their 0bedieuce En-
titled Them to a Small
Appointment

II you were a republican candidate
for the assembly and couldn't get lit
tile favor from the boss who gave
you your nomination-would that make
you laugh?
And If you were a county commit
teeman and stood pat on the program
and then got turned down by the boss
how funny would that be?
Paul Fratessa. republican candidate
for the assembly in the thirty third
district, is asking himself the first
question
Jack Butler. member Of the county
committee for the same district, is ask
ing himself the second.
Both are deeply aggrieved and the
remarks they are making about their
erstwhile friend. John c. Lynch, are
both rude and cutting.
The trouble came because Jack But-
Ter was out Of a job. For his services
10 the organization. Butler was given
3 guards position at San Quentin. But
san Quentin is removed from the center
OF political turmoil. and Jack did not
keep his position long.
When he came back TO town he hunt
ed up Paul Fratessa and together the
two politicians went TO see Johnnie
Lynch Now. Johnnie Lynch has many
troubles Of his own. II is true that in
the intervals OF his real estate and in
surance business he devotes some little
time to the pleasant task Of holding
the organization in line for Herrin; but
he refuses to be dunned by politicians
In business hours. Perhaps Paul Fra
tessa banked too much on the impor-
tsnce OF an assembly candidate. Per-
hsps Jack Butler talked too loud and
disturbed the stenographer. But at any
rate, Johnnie Lynch, after listening TO
the Job beseeching duet for some time,
got tired and, with an expressive ges-
ture toward The street said: Cit
And Paul Fratessa and Jack Butler
got" But they went in exceeding
wrath and they are calling Johnnie
Lynch as many names as Billy Bell put
tongue 10 in a recent unpleasantness at
headquarters.
Paul Fratessa thinks il was no way
TO treat q man whose vote will come
in handy in the legislature. Jack But
ler has no hesitation in declaring that
a county committeeman who swallowed
the program every time it was offered
was deserving OF greater courtesy.
Johnnie Lynch bites the ends OF his
mustache and utters the soft word that
turneth away inquiry.

it's just like money-it entities you to 109o off
and our money-back guarantee.
Since the 18th of June, the day of our opening,
over half million dollars worth of building sites
have been sold at VISITACION-to hundreds
and hundreds of satisfied buyers and they've
made money too.
For instance, we sold corner and inside lot
on Vistaclon Avenue, on the opening day. The
man who bought turned it over within ten dzys
at profit of $4,000. We had customer who
wanted that special corner, he offered the second
man S500.00 profit and the owner refused it
that man knows what VISITACION property is
worth and what VISITACION will be when the
Southern Pacific Shops are open and running full
blast lfyou are interested in knowing, we will
be glad to give you all the facts of the transaction,
including names and addresses, if you call at our
Office
q The people who bought at VISITACION did
not invest few dollars but they put into their
VISITACION property all they could rake and
scrape together and they are sorry they
did not have more to invest.
Let's go back to the money-back idea again
Mind you, it includes all the Improvements and
when we say mprovements we mean
Improvements with capital P'-ccment
sidewalks, rock cement cutters, curbs-a
complete sewer and water system and
macadamized streets, and there are few other
things that go with each lot for which we do not
charge, and they are climate, view and beautiful
surroundings. Fairmont Park in the center of
the Fairmont Addition, is the most beautiful
natural park on the entire San Francisco
Peninsula, bar none.
Not long ago Montgomery Street was the water
front, and where our Office is to-day-23
Montgomery Street-hshermcn used to mend
their nets. That is not very long ago-it's
within the memory of many men now living
Stop and think what has caused the change in the
condition of Montgomery Street then and now
1t just shows what population will do.
You cannot visit VISITACION without
realizing that mighty population will locate there

You Can the Farmont Addition City of Vstacion

Just revolvc this idea in your mind-it's s worth
thinking
Last June we invited you to Visit Visitacion.
II, ,7S1 people accepted our invitation.
Then we told you everything about Visitacion,
but since we have discovered something new
more startling than anything that has ever been
put before the public in a real estate way.
We said that the railroad had spent II million
dollars on the great terminal yards and shops at
VISITACION and upon the approaches
the railroad would make VISITACION the
greatest industrial center of the West-that
thousands of men would be employed and that
payroll of $500, 600 would be reality when the
shops were running full blast
We talked big but we fell way short of the
mark-didn't talk big enough!
Do you realize how near VISITACION is to
rhe center of San Francisco'
VISITACION is nearer to the center of San
Francisco in point of time than III of the homes
in San Francisco.
We will shortly announce the formal opening
day of the Farmont Addition to the City of
VISITACION
For years we have thought over one phase of
real estate Development planned, figured and at
last going to put the results of our thought
before the public-we are going to sell Fairmont
Addition on the money-back plan stop and think
of it. Lots as low as S230-S5. 00>a month
when we say money-back we mean it and we
have reason for it.
From now until the opening day, every lot
will be sold in the Fairmont Addition with our
moncy-back guarantee.
We well satisfied with the progress of
the railroad work, with the general conditions,
and particularly with the Fairmont Addition,
that we can afford to money-back it. The name
American Real Estate Company attached to a
lot sale is like the sterling mark on sver-it's
guarantee of its value and when you add
money back guarantee to that you have
something.
This is the greatest real estate offering ever
made to the people of Western America.
We cannot tell you the particulars of our
moncy-back plan in an advertisement, but we can
at our Office, at your home or on the property
In addition to our money-back guarantee we
will attach coupon to all our advertisements until

In the case H. o. Drum, of Duncan

agent making said loan would arrange

local loan agent would then sign the

Tell Grafters to Stay Away.

Guthrie Okla, Feb, l9.-The fol-
lowing resolution, signed 10y Governor
Haskell as president and l.. ID. Mari,
rs secretary, has been adopted by the
commissioners of the land Office:
It's the sense of this board that
the intention is to loan the permanent
school fund where il will do the actual
farmer the most good, and where il
will be distributed in smaller loans
among greater number of farmers,
instead OF beng absorbed by few
large loans to n few men; and particu.
larly,ft is not the purpose of this
board 10 furnish spectators in land
the means of making their specula-
tions more profitable.
"By an actual farmer we mean the
man who resides upon the farm, or if
not actually residing ON the farm, is
only temporarily residing in town for
school or other necessary purposes, and
that at least the applicant should be
Interested in the crops that are being
raised upon the land, and his principal
business and income is the crops Of
such land"

In Memoriam /.

At regular meeting OF Oklahoma
Post No 4, G. A r., j. NJ. Crabtree,
Lawrence McCabe ane /. y. Drummond
weae appointed a committee to draft
resolutions in memory of Comrade
John w. McCool, who died February
l4th, 1908. The committee reported
the following, which which was adopt
ed.
Time, in its relentless march, IL fast
crushing out the lives of those who,
near half century ago, made IL possi-
ble for liberty To triumph over slavery,
struck she charms OF slavery from four
millions OF human deings, and pro-
served the only free government on
earth. Among those who pledged
their lines, their fortunes and their
sacred honor in that grand struggle
for liberty and equality, our Comrade
John w. McCool was among the first
to offer his young life to his country.
That he did his duty bravely is evil
Genced 10y wounds and broken health.
Like most of his comrades who took
part in the same glorious struggle for
the preservation of free government,
Comrade McCool dragged out life of
suffering from disease and wounds.
He lived his life without complaint,
doing the right as God gave him light
to see the right.
lie was model member OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, always
Jealous for the good of his Post, and
always ready TO aid those in distress.
Our comrade has received his dis
charge from the army militant to be
enrolled in the army triumphant. We
his comrades, are left for few more
days, or weeks, or months, to mourn
because he has passed from our sight.
But soon we, too, shall hear Deaths
tattoo warning and taps which shall
send us to the sleep which shall last
until revcille is sounded in that land
where there shall be no war. Then
we hope agnin % greet our comrade
with no fears that Death shall ever
again divide us.
To his wife and children who now
mourn for him, we extend the hand Of
sympathy, yet knowing that words
are powerless To bring comfort to
hearts stricken with grief for departed
loved ones, we can point them to the
one who alone can give comfort and
sooth such bitter sorrows; and may
their grief be softened by the thought
that He who doeth all things well has
said that lie will give His beloved
sleep.

secured an excellent stand in the fol-
lowing manner:

a time aud then narrowed two or three
times. until the soil was thoroughly
'pulyerized. | then sowed sixteen
pounds of seed per acre, and narrowed
again, letting the harrow lap half. !
aimed To make two sowings in eacn
half day.
In this manner the seed was given
an opportunity to sprout (Which it did
in II thoroughly prepared seed bed, be-
fore the ground could dry out and the
young plants secured such start ahead

quire moving all summer, except in y
few patches. This seeding was done in
the forepart of May, on ground POO feel

We believe most of the growers have
found that from twenty to thirty
pounds OF good alfalfa seed gives bet
