The Value Of sess-s -
Iowa Farms Lands

Mt. Pleasant News: A man up
near Olds was the other day of
fered 1926 per acre for we'll
improved, strictly first class grain
farm. and he refused the offer. An
other man last fall took an option on
quarter section, a good farm, at
less than $3.50 per acre and he will be
able easily this fall to clear up net
profit OF over $4,000 Another man last
year bought a quarter section for
about $125 per acre and now prices 1t
at sits and will probably get 1t. Most
of the grain farms of the county are
taken from the market and their own
ers refuse to even put price on them
or discuss the possibility Of parting
with their acres. Everybody Is talking
5000 land. It is here today. Good
farms In the county will sell for that
figure before the first OF next March.
This marvellous rise In the value of
good farm land Is not crazy specula-
tion, gamble, lottery. The demand
is greater than the supply. The real
estate men OF this county are deluged
with inquiries for good. level corn
farms. Men of Illinois are selling
their farms for $3.50 per acre and COM
ing over into Iowa for cheap" land.
How many strictly first class corn
farms are on the MARKET" we asked
a leading real estate man the other
day. "You can almost count them on
your fingers" he replied. Farmers
who own good farms, are not selling
them. Why sell when the values are
increasing by leaps and bounds? Why
sell sure thing for something that is
| uncertain?
Three classes of farmers are sell.

want to dispose OF large farm for a

those farmers to even make a price

The secret of the whole thing Is
this: The corn belt Is limited and
practically every foot OF it Is under
cultivation. The lands now being
opened up will not grow corn. It is
too far south, or too far north, or the
altitude is too high. And among the
cereals corn is king. There is nothing
yet discovered that will take the place
of corn to finish off the hog or the
steer. And al long as men can get 1t
the people or the earth will eat OF
pork and beef. The price of land IS
following the price OF corn. The corn
crop has nearly reached its limit. The
acreage Is taken. 1t is now simply
matter of making an acre grow more
bushels Corn is In relative man.
ner scarce. Because OF this the price
of hogs is up, the price Of cattle Is up.
And because corn Is scarce and the
price high the farmer makes huge
profits. and because the profits are
large men want to get into the busi-
ness of raising corn. But when they
go to buy corn farms they find them
few and so they bid against each 9TH
er and up goes the land values.
There has never been time when
there has and will be such a scram-
BILE for corn farms as this year. The
people the country over are land mad.
A great desire has seized upon the
people to own in their own right a
piece of Gods own country. They
are pouring into the west, the north
west, the southwest. they are fighting
| for tracts in reservations and home
stealing the arid lands of the Dakotas,
| Montana and Idaho. Where the price
of land will be quarter of a century
| from now Is beyond all human power
to give an intelligent guess. 1t has
doubled in this county In the last ten
years. Will 1t double again In the
next ten years? Who can say that 1t

lHf HEART CAN'T STAND
RHEUMATIC ACID
POISONING.
The Uric-O Treatment Expells the Poison
from the Blood.

Those sharp, shooting pains through the
chest around the region of the heart mean
that poisonous uric and rheumatic acid are
there ready to spring and grip tightly the
muscles controlling the hearts action. You
must neutralize and drive these dangerous
poisons from the system, or sooner or later
they will overcome you.
The only true way to cure Rheumatism is TO
get at it from the inside with Uric-O. 1t acts
with marvellous swiftness upon the muscles,
kidneys and blood. Cleans out the sand-like
deposits in the muscles, forces the kidneys to
perform those duties for which they were de-
signed and neutralizes the acid within the
blood.
Uric-O is liquid taken internally, 8 times
daily. and does not contain any morphine,
opium or other so-called "pain deadners.' "
Sciatica, Muscular, Infammatory and Articular
Rheumatism all yield readily to Uric-O.
1t sells for 75c. and $1.OO the bottle or you
can obtain trial bottle free by writing to The

RELATION BETWEEN
BLOOD AND NERVES
SHOWING WHY NERVOUS PEOPLE
ARE PALE PEOPLE,
Also How a Medicine That Makes
Rich, Red Blood Can Perform
Wonders as Nerve Tonic,

VvOUOSTS as nerve tOnlC.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people? The answer to that ques-
ton explains why remedy that acts on
the blood can cure nervous troubles. It
explains why DR.. Williams Pink Pills
fo1 Pale People are also for nervous
people
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red oorpuscles in the blood
and the health Of the nerves. The ner-
vous system receives its nourishment as
well as its medicine through the blood.
Let the blood become thin, weak and
colorless and the nerves are starved-the
victim is started on the road that leads
to nervous wreck. Nervous people are
pale people-but the pallor comes first
Enrich the blood and the nerves are
stimulated and toned up to do their part
of the work of the body.
Proof of this appears in the statement
of Mrs. William L. Powers, of R. F. D.
No. IA, Gardiner, Me-, who says:
II can highly recommend Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills as they cured me after
had been sick with nervous prostration
for five years. had been treated by
three doctors but they did not do me any
good and upon the advice of a neighbor
began taking DR. Williams Pink Pills.
l was completely Frustrated and was
confined to bed for the greater part Of
two years l could not get a good
night rest. l had terrible nervous head
..ches and pains in the back of the neck.
Breathing was often difficult and I
would have choking sensations. Icould
keep hardly anything on my stomach, was
reduced in weight and had not particle
of color All my friends thought
would never do another days work for
l had to be helped from the bed to the
sitting room.
AFTER taking Dr. Williams L'hlk Pills
a short time I felt some better and could
rest at night. l continued to take them
until felt was entirely cured. l am
in good health today and owe it to the
pills.

The Seven Stages of a Lie.


All the worlds a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
The worst of which is that he acts the lie,
The act having seven stages. First the fib;
An artless thing, transparent as the air.
Essays he next deceit of subtler sort,
Involving something of malign intent,
But nowise dangerous. Fabrication next
He tries, with just enough of truth therein
To give it virtuous semblance. Craftier still,
He next employs two untruths so disposed
That seemingly they make truth. And then,
Grown holder. tries prevarication bold,
Daringly trusting to storm of words
To breed forgetfulness. The sixth stage shifts
The action into falsehood yet adorned
By some last vestige of decency
And sense of honor. Last of all the lie;
The brazen, villainous, blank blanked SANDER
Gus lie;
Sans base. sans sense, sans shame, sans decency
