10 Give Medals TO Best AviQtOrs

Paris, Sept 13.-The French acadc.
my of science has decided to employ
sum of $4,000 annually in striking
gold and silver medals for all success
full or meritorious aviators. Hereaft-
er. therefore, anyone who has distin.
guished himself in attempts to con-
quer the air may be sure of recogni-
ton from that learned body. Its men,
bers have for the most part already
passed the age when a risky flight in
the aeroplane is an agreeable sport or
exercise. but since they cannot fly
themselves. they will do their best to
encourage the aviation instinct in 9TH
ers. The academy had long been de-
sirous Of showing its interests in the
conquest of the air, which seems to
become more and more a mere Ques-
ton Of practice, but 1t could find no
funds until it was ascertained that
two prices of $1,000 of the Petit Ormoy
foundation were available 1t is true
that the Osiris prize has already been
awarded. but it was reserved exclusive
ly for Frenchmen. There were no
such restrictions in the Petit Ornoy
prizes, which were simply for a gener-
al character. and therefore we'll suited
to the new application.
The medals for this year have al
ready been ordered. They are to be
Of gold and silver gilt, and will be
awarded differently to French and for
eign aviators. The list Of recipients
will. of course. include the Wright
Brothers. NJ. Bleriot. NJ. Latham, NJ
Tassandier, as we'll as all the investors
at home and abroad and pilots of ae-

Mr.. Praedo intimates that in the
towns OF the Los Airamas, China,

CALIFORNIA AND SINALOA.
Characterization states are located on
the Pacific coast, each having n large coast
line. dotted with numerous ports and harbors.
Their relative proportions are very similar
Sinaloa is located some 800 miles nearer the

Isn't that an advantage? California is not To-
Gated in the tropics, neither is Sinaloa' Tor the

-Topography--The belt of coastal
lands In California is very highly developed,
and a consequence. very valuable. Sinaioa
possesses a coastal belt OF very rich lands
which but need development to make them
equally as valuable as any in California The
central portion of California is the valley and
hill country, Sinaloa having the same type OF
lands thus located. Eastern California is Tor

lust sit down and figure 1t out for yourself.
Don't take our word for it, but the word OF
over 1000 Americans-red- blooded fellows-mep
who have made their money out of land. II
we can actually sell than 200, 900 acres OF
our land in small tracts-40 acres up-to
wde-awake American people in the snort
space of months, isn't it reasonable to sup
pose that we have pretty good proposition
for YOU TO investigate?
Show me a successful enterprise of any kind
in new field and 1 Will show you any num-
Der of imitators. But did you ever find an
imitation that had the real merit-the cold
money value-of the original? We are un-
doubtedly representing the most successful
colonization enterprise in the world, and he
cause our company has been SUCCESSFUL, doz-
ems of colonization companies are sprlhsins
up everywhere, hoping to take advantage OF
success.
We exnected this Any concern must
meet it, But the imitators fail to consider Just
one very essential point-a point that con
Germs you vitality They overlook the fact that
our company spent a great deal or time anu
money going over the Held and selecting the
choicest lands to be found. They made their
selections at a time when they had the WhoIe
field to select from. They had unlimited cap
jtal with which to purchase these lands ana
this capital was backed by the experience OF
years in the colonization business in other
parts Of North America. Is it therefore rea-
sonable to suppose that they would overlook
a good thing-so many good things" that are
today being offered the homeseekers and in
vestors by other compauiesY
Here is another vital point TO he considered
by you-a point made after we had purchased
our lands and opened them for sale. That
pont is PUBLIC OPINION. We knew we had
good land-the best land to be found in the
RepuhIic OF Mexico. But VIC knew that no
matter how good the land might be, if We
could not convince the hard-headed, far-sightod
land buying American that had the best
proposition in America for him, the enterprise
would be a fiat failure. Therefore, We had to
stand the test-our land had to make good"
whether or not the land 'made good
will leave up to you. Here are the facts from
which you can draw your own conclusions.
The first excursion to our lands was run on
October g. 1908, less than six months ago since
then we have run five monthly excursions
six in all. We have shown our land TO more
than 1000 people. some who went simply to
see for themselves, while other represented a
number of their friends at home. They in
vestigated our lands thoroughly. They visited
adjoining plantations operated by American
people who have spent years in this section

some of the stories told by oursexcursionists
10 their friends their return home could
not be easily swallowed. 1t looked as though
there was something wrong Many were
skepticaI and needed more to convince them
that they were getting the STRAIGHT
GOODS. Some of these skeptlcs decided they
would go down and see for themselves whlch,
by the way. Is a wise thing for every man 10
do When they returned home and told their
story, they were about hard to believe as
the first fellow. But they bought land Just
the same, and today know they have the rich
est and most productive land in America.
So much for our company, and the land we
are selling. Now let's see what there is to
interest YOU in this land. Let us tell you
few things about this land-the country-mar-
tet s-transportaton-and the oppor-
tunity that awaits the progressive American
who buys land in the tropics.
our lands are located along the Vera Cruz
& IstbrnUs and the National rehuantepec rail-
roads, in the states Of Vera Cruz and OaXaca'
The first named road runs south from Cor
doba giving us a direct outlet to all the
markets of central Mexico, and to the great
seaport of Vera Cruz the largest port in the
Republic The National Tehuantepec line
crosses the Isthmus of Tehuantepec from north
IA south connecting the Gulf of Mexico and
the Pacific ocean. There is a big seaport at
each end of this line. and across this isthmus
is handled greater tonnage Of freight yearly,
per mile than is handled by any other trans
continental railroad i'm America. This gives
us a fine outlet to all the markets of the
world, with a railroad haul of about 100 miles,
The soil Is unquestionaby the most produc-
tive in the world. This is evidenced by the
luxuriant growth of grasses, underground and
timber to be found everywhere on our lands.
The even climate makes the growing season
perpetuaI and it is possible here TO raise
three crops of yearly on the same land
The land can be cheaply cleared, and when
ready for the pillow there is simply nothing in
the world that compare with 1t in rich
