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 a farm of their
own, to follow the course of en-
pire, which it is said takes it's
way westward.
Perhaps there is no more desirL
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
BE had at a reasonable price. He
finally decided that the soil, cli-
mate and ABUNDANT water supply,
taken in consideration with the
| price, made the land ABOUT Syr4
acuse, Kansas, and Towner, Colo
RADIO, about the best proposition
to offerto farmers and home-
seekers that could be found.
The firm of Pennington & Jones
OF this city now are in a 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, So inches deep, and
will produce as large crops OF
wheat, corn, etc., as the 5ottom
lands of this state. 1t also pro+
duces three crops of alfalfa q
season and is particularly well
adapted to the production of po-
tatoes and vegetables. An abuni
dance of pure, soft water is found
at a depth of about S5 feet. The
annual rainfall is about the same
as in Missouri. If you are looking
for a location and want to buy
really desirable, productive land
at low price investigate this
land.

first and third Tuesdays of each
month. Round trip tickets from

A. c. MOORE'S ENDORSEMENT.
4 In regard to the land in vest
ern Kansas and eastern Colorado
Pennington & Jones have to sell,
will say the land is a good
dark loan from 4 to 1-2 feet in
depth. The water is excellent and
can be had by drilling from SO
to 1875 feet upon an average Of
so feet--so was informed ;oy the
oldest citizens of that country. l
think a young man or man of
middle age could not do better
than to ouy If he wants farm of
his own. I saw some excellent
crops on that land. 1t is easy to
cultivate. A. c. Moore,

Big Wages Must Be Earned.

A group of feminine wage earners
was discussing a news item the other
day, one which told the public that the
private secretary Of the greatest finan-
cier Of his time is a woman who re-
ceives $4,000 q year. There was envy
in their voices and bitterness in their
words, and nobody seemed to grasp
the pith Of the story, which was a re-
cital of the secretary's duties. There
was q woman who had to be on duty
many hours. and possess not only =
marvellous memory, but infinite tact
and patience. More than that she had
to possess marked executive ability.
She has probably been in training
for years. and undoubtedly earns
every penny Of her salary. The girls
who envied her could not do the work
because they were not fitted for it
probably they would not under any
circumstances, because they were not
the hard-working kind. All they could
see in tho story was the salary, and
that made them envious.

THE COLE BROTHERS. CIRCUS
BIDDER, Better, Grander Than Ever,
Seven Hundred People and Five
Hundred Horses. Fine Music.
Clowns, Bareback Riders Sc

There is no show in this coun-
try where magnitude, merit and
perfect organization are as evil
dent as with the Cole Bros World
Toured Shows which will be here
Friday, Sept. II. 1t is like one
large community, and very ex-
penslve community, at that. 1t
requires but a glance at some of
the details and figures connected
with this gigantic organization to
be assured Of these facts. The
daily expenses are $500, and 3-4
of this amount is spent in the
place of exhibition. The payroll
contains over 700 employees and
the stable has nearly 500 head of
horses. Three trains Of double
length cars are required to con-
vey it from place to place. Seven
acres of land are required to
spread it's tents, which comfort
ably seat 10000 people. OF course
when seating capacity is spoken
of, the mammoth menagerie tent
and the many other tents cover
ing the other departments are not
considered. Only the tent in which
the performance is given. This
show carries it's own blacksmith
shop, and has its own dining tents
in which nearly 5000 meals are
served daily to its employees, has
it's own attorney, physician and
three veterinary surgeons. 1t has
clerical force equal to that of
any ordinary bank. The corps OF
detectives always in attendance Is
made up of men of national rep
utation and have had a world
wide experience in dealing with
the light fingered gentry who
have learned to give this show a
wide berth. The menagerie con-
tains over 100 members of the an
imal kingdom, selected for their
rareness. There are over 100 feat
ure acts given at each perform
ance, and to give them over SOC
men, women and animals are re-
ouired. No matter what the con-
dition of the weather may be, this
show never disappoints. All the
tents are absolutely water proof.

Two Kinds of Criticisms.

Il am going to read you my sonnet
to 'Persephone's Left Elbow" an
nounced Miss ANNA Teuritre to her
betrothed. II want you to give me
perfectly frank criticism, just the
simple truth, as though you did not
know me at all"
When she had finished, her lover
spoke solemnly: Il do not dare to
speak frankly, but l will say that
there is trace of hint of possible
future promise"
The following week she married a
freight handler who had worshiped
her for years and who declared that
the sonnet was finer'n silk.

Bruin Too Fond Of Crow.

A new version of "eating crow" has
been furnished in Center county,
Pennsylvania. One evening recently a
farmer of Curtin township set bear
trap near his home, batting 1t with
piece Of meat, as Is customary. Aft.
er the trap had been set crow,
tempted by the meat, was caught, and
that night bear happened that way
and ate both the crow and the bait
The farmer set the trap again next
evening, and on the following morn
ing the bear was in the trap, having
come back during the night for an
other meal of crow.

A Gladstone Bull.

Mr.. Gladstone was once guilty of an
amusing bull In a debate ON the ques-
tion of disestablishment. Dilating on
the hold held on the affection of the
people by the Church of England. he
said: when an Englishman wants
to get married. to whom does he go?
To the parish priest. When he wants
his child baptized. to whom does ne
go? To the parish priest. When he
wants to get buried. to whom does he
gO?" The house answered with a roar
of laughter. in which Mr.. Gladstone
himself joined. adding: "As | was
contrasting the English church with
the Irish. bull Is perhaps excusable. y

LIKE UNTO OTHER cAUcUsEs.
Fashion Set by Hannibal Hamlin Not
infrequently Followed.

The old saw says that politics
makes strange bedfellows," and it is
likewise a fact that the professional
politician is frequently moved by the
"exigencies of the case" to acts that
will not stand close scrutiny. Not
but it was so lin the days of the IA
Tiers" When Hannibal Hamlin first
began his political career he was once
at caucus in Hampden, the only at
tendant besides himself being a citi-
zen of very tall stature and ponder
GUS build. Mr.. Hamlin had some res
olutions to pass which began by repre-
senting that they were presented to a
large and respectable gathering of
voters, and he proceeded to read and
'vote" them onto the records of the
caucus. at
I'VE can't pass that, for it amt true
What isn't true?" demanded the
willy Hamlin.
1T amt a large and respectable
caucus" objected the other member
of the assembly. There's only two
of u.s.
That's all right, brother, that's al
right" assured Hamlin. 1T goes al
read. Just you keep still. This is q
large and respectable caucus. all right
You're large and am respectable"
And the resolution passed" without
further demur.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

Packed to the doors was the verdict
at the Auditorium at both perform
ances Monday evening and those who
saw the bill pronounced 1t the best
they had ever seen at the local house.
The Rice brothers, who were adver-
tiFed to head the bill, certainly do It
in every particular and they were
greeted with a big hand as soon as
they made their appearance on the
stage and all during their act the en-
tire house was in an uproar Of laugh
ter. They were compelled to respond
to an encore and take several calls to
quiet the house. The Cubanola trio
are the possessors Of fine voices which
blend very nicely and in their quick
change work and the neat staging Of
their act were g. big hit.
Budd and Roth are two funny peo-
pie who sing funny songs and crack
funny jokes and in their parody on
dramatic work in which Budd takes
the part OF a girl were q scream.
Jolly Ruth Garnold is all that her
name implies and went big in her song
entitled ooh. You Kid" She has a
deep melodious voice and balances well
the most taking bill that has been here
probably since the opening Of the
house.
The pictures are all good and full Of
comedy and kept the audiences IN
Jolly mood throughout.
