FERTILE LANDS AT LOW PRICES
Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado
Land Within the Reach of All.

AS the country becomes more
thickly populated, and the prices
OF really good farm land continue
to go higher, it becomes necessa-
ry for men of moderate means,
who desire to own farm of their
own, to follow the course of en-
pire, which it is said takes its
way westward.
Perhaps there is no more desir-
aole land, at low price, than
can be found in western Kansas
and Eastern Colorado. Realizing
that there was a demand for such
land, Mr.. w. r. Pennington OF
this city made an extended ousi-
ness trip to that part of the coun-
try during July and personally
investigated the land that was to
De had at a reasonable price. He
finally decided that the soil, eli
mate and ABUNDANT water supply
taken in consideration with the
price, made the land about Syr-
acuse, Kansas, and Towner, Colo
rado, about the best proposition
to offerto farmers and home
seekers that could De found.
The firm OF Pennington & Jones
OF this city now are in position
to offer the public 100000 acres
of fine, rich, fertile land, deep
soil, at the very low price of
$3.50 per acre, in tracts of 100
acres or more. The land is a choc-
olate loan, 81 inches deep, and
will produce as large crops of
wheat, corn, ETC., as the Sottom
lands of this state. 1t also pro-
duces three crops of alfalfa a
season and is particularly we'll
adapted to the production of po-
tatoes and vegetables. An abun-
dance of pure, soft water is found
at a depth of about IS feet. The
annual rainfall is about the same
as in Missouri. If you are looking
for location and want to buy
really desirable, productive land
at a low price investigate this
land.
Home seekers excursions the
first and third Tuesdays of each
month. Round trip tickets from
Montgomery City, Mo-, to SYRIA
cuse, Kan, $21.10.

AS Many A Montgomery City Read

When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tells you all about it
The urine is natures calendar
Infrequent or too frequent action
Any urinary trouble tells of kid

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all
kidney ills.
People in this vicinity testify to
this.
Mrs. John Reeds, 1902 Harwood
ST., Mexico, Mo-, says: 81 was
afflicted with kidney trouble, the
chief symptom being bearing
down pain in my hips and loins.
The kidney secretions passed too
frequently, l could not rest well
and did not know what to do. AT
last l procured a box of Doan's
XII dney pills. They gave me re-
lief at once and before / realized,

The above statement was given
in 1905 and was confirmed by Mrs.
Reeds on November 10, 1908 in the
following words: Everything 1

Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars for Penn

Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars for Penn
The college treasurer stated at the
session of the board of trustees that
the twelve thousand dollars sustaining
fund had al been raised. This assures
the chasing of Penn in the "A" grade
of Iowa co 'leges.
1t was also reported that ten thous,
and dollars has been raised to be ap'
piled toward the building of a Girls
Dormitory The board of trustees de-
cided to undertake definitely the co1i-
pletion of thirty-fiye, thousand dollars
for the erection of thss dormitory.
Action in this direction will be com.
menced Immediately and it is con-
fidently expected that the foundation
will be laid this fall.
Thus this institution founded in
Christian love and based upon the
principles of righteousness, backed by
the energy and enthusiasm of loyal
students, friends and alumni, bids far
to make rapid strides toward the
goal of high achievement which was
the ideal of those who established her
and of those who have sacrificed for
her through the years.
The meeting closed with few APP
propriate remarks and prayer by
