NEW FARMING EMPIRE
Half Million Fertile Acres in New Re-
gion Added to Texas Agriculture.

BY November 1st, 1909, the Wichita
| Valley Railroad burlington System,
the best farm developing road in
America) will complete and commence
passenger service on its line from
Stamford to Spur, the terminal town
in Dickens County, Texas.
This town Is in the center of a tract
of 673 square miles of the smoothest,
most fertile virgin farm lands in Tex
as-farms in which are offered to
homeseekers at prices from $1,000 to
$3.50 per acre on easy terms-one-
fifth down, balance in six annual pay
ments. Wonderfully adapted to cot
ton-no boil weevil ever known
corn, alfalfa, grain, fruits, vegetables,
and all the products of the farm known
to this latitude. 1t is the coming hog
country, nowhere can they be ma
tured mor cheaply, and cholera is abb
solutely unknown in this belt; quick
run to Fort Worth market.
Delightful climate-altitude 1000 to
$500 feet-not on the plains. Some of
the lands are covered with mesquite
trees-others are open or mixed. Deep
rich soil with great variety to char
acter-chiefly sandy loan and choc-
olate loan with clay subsoil. Water
generally shallow. Will be sold in
manifestations or upward direct to
the homeseeker from owners, with no
sale commissions to load the price
to the farmers. Clear title is guaran-
teed. The great extent of. this body
guarantees to the first farmers wide
range of selection to find a home which
exactly suits as to lay of land and
character of soil.
Recognizing the great possibilities
and wonderful future of Spur Farm
Lands, the State has decided to place
an experiment farm station at Spur.
This will be a great benefit to the
settlers in hat region-showing them
by actual demonstrations on the lands
what crops can be most prOf1tably
raised; best methods of cultivation,
and assisting in all the problems Of
the farm. This decision was reached
after a visit to the lands by Judge Ed.
r. Kone, Commissioner of Agriculture,
and DR.. H. H. Harrington, Director of
Experiment Stations, who recognized
their unusual farming value.
Lots in Spur, Dickens County, the
terminal town, and Girard, in Kent
County, fourteen miles from Spur, go
to sale on day above named. Boring
for artesian water at Spur.
Anyone interested can get full in

S. M. Swenson & Sons. Spur, Dickens

We know of no other medicine which has been so sue
cessful in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so
many genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women who
have been restored to health by Lydia E.. Pinkhams Veg
etable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files con-
tanning over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made ex-
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands Of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.
Minneapolis, Mimi: -"I was a great sufferer from female
troubles which caused a weakness and broken down condition
of the system. / read SO much of what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound had done for other suffering women, Ifelt
sure 1T would help me, and !! must say it did help me wonder
fully. Within three months I was a perfectly well woman.
81 want this letter made public to show the benefits to be
derived from Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound"
.Moldan, 2115 Second St.NOrth, Minneapolis, Mimi.
Women who are suffering from those distressing ills
peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts
or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound to restore their health.

DELICACY OUT OF SEASON
Farmer Absolutely Unable to Under
stand the Possibility of Ice
in July.

We are so accustomed to having
things "out of season." and especially
to the cutting and storing of ice for
use in the summer, that it is hard to
put ourselves in the place of the sim
pie old farmer told of by a writer in
the Toledo Blade.
In the summer of 1900 a party OF
surveyors was working through the
state of Arkansas, surveying and 10
eating the Midland Valley road. One
day the surveying corps stopped at a
farmhouse and shouted for the farmer.
The Arkansan came out, and the
surveyors asked him If they could get
a drink.
Certainly, boys" he said. "Ill give
you the best I've got, and the best I've
got is buttermilk."
THAT will be fine" the surveyors
said, and the old farmer gave each of
the gang a glass of buttermilk.
Its mighty good" said one of the
surveyors to McLoud.
Yes, indeed" McLoud replied, "but
it would be better if we had some ice
to put in it"
Turning to the farmer, McLoud
said, Have you any ice?"
"Ice." shouted the farmer, Juggling
at his whiskers. ice! Who ever
heard of ice in July?"-Youth's Com
panion.

LOVE LEADS TO THE CROSS
Suffering and Service vitality Re-
Iated-Great Events SUBJ
stantiate the Fact.

If is the nature of love to make
sacrifices. 1t was not so much h a
Christ was divine as that he was
human that he suffered. Low in its
strongest and best expression termln-
ates in suffering and sacrifice. HUI
man love inevitably leads to its cross
in proportion to it's perfection. IL
the individual loves little, he will sac
rifce little; if he loves much, he VIII
sacrifice much. Love is a unit. In
what respect does love in God and
love in man differ? Does it mean
but a difference in degree? He who
was most perfect and the greatest
man. loved and suffered accordingly.
Gods love and that of a Christian
differs not in kind. but in degree. The
love of God is shed abroad in a
Christians heart, and it is through
and by that love that man endures
suffering and makes sacrifices. Love
in God and in man cannot be fully ex-
pressed.
Inward Calvary means that human
love leads to the cross and to suffer-
ing. AS we look upon Christ's cross,
it is a fulfl1ment of the Christians
love. Inward Calvary shows that the
outward Calvary was inevitable;
Christ could not help himself but to
die-He would not have been a true
Saviour if he had not died.
Suffering and service are vitality re-
lated. Every important event chron-
icled in history substantiates that fact.
A mere mention of some of them will
be readily remembered by the reader,
The salvation Of the world through
Jesus Christ; the discovery of Ameri.
ca by Columbus. The law obtains in
the kingdom of God, from inward Cal
vary to TRANSPORTATION blessings and
to resurrection victories and joys.

When to Send Children to Europe.

Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by Others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as Don as a
child can walk well and speak a few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
erS feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera

THE STORY.

NEVER did the cry of the nations of
~ modern history, "the king is dead;
long live the king" stir loyal hearts
of the nation with sadder regrets over
the departed ruler, and warm-hearted
support for the leader upon whom the
purple robe had fallen, than did the
cry, which swept over the nation of
Israel centuries before modern history
began to he made:
Jonathan is dead. Simon shall be
our leader"
Great leaders fulfill their mission
and then pass on to give place for 9th
ers. Fortunate, indeed, is that ma
ton who has a great man to step into
the place made vacant by the death of
a mighty leader.
Jonathan through treachery came to
an untimely end, and his brother
Simon stepped into the breach ami
gave to his nation an even greater
reign than had the former.
With great honors Jonathan was
laid in the splendid tomb at Modin
which Simon caused to be built. This
was the new leaders first task when
called to rule. And it pleased the peo.
ple, and when he had finished thev
asked:
what will he nov do to secure orr
nation against the troubles which be.
set us on every hand?"
Such was the query on every ones
lips, and as though by way of answer
there went forth the decree from
Simon as he Travelled hither and
thither through the realm:
1.-THE nation is respected as far as
it is ready to meet its foes. Let the
cities Of the land be fortified. Let
provision be made also for food sup
plies within these cities, so that an
enemy coming against us shall find
us prepared"
A thrill Of hope and enthusiasm
passed through the nation, and every
where the people busy in building
walls and raising watch towers, so
that confidence was restored in the
hearts of the people, and they began
to give themselves with new zeal to
the peaceable pursuits of the nation.
But two plague spots ate as a worm
into the vitals of the nation. One
was the city of GAIA and the other
was the strong tower in Jerusalem
which was still held by the Gentiles

Simon, one OF the Maccabeean
rulers, was able to restore much
Of the old-time prosperity and
power of the Jewish nation, SO
that IL is recorded of his reign:
"Then did they till their
ground in peace, and the earth
gave her increase, and the trees
of the field their fruit.
"The ancient men sat all In
the streets, communing together
of good things, and the young
men put on glorious and war
like apparel.
"He (Simon) provided VIC
tuais for the cities, and set in
them all manner of muniticn, so
that his honorable name was
renowned unto the end OF the
world.
"He made peace in the land,
and Israel rejoiced with great
Joy:
"For every man sat under his
vine and his fig-tree; and there
was none to fray them"
Who can say but that the
Jews at this period believed and
rejoiced that the prophecy OF
Micah had been fulfilled when
he said:
"They shall sit every man
under his vine and under his fig
tree; and none shall! make them
afraid; for the mouth of the
Lord of Hosts hath spoken it.
"For all people will walk
every one in the name Of his
God, and will walk in the name
of the Lord our God for eve
and ever.

Those poor misguided fanatics
down in the far New England
state who the other day laid
aside all worldly pursuits and
gave themselves up to the an
ticipated coming of Christ is an
extreme illustration Of how
powerful an influence such hope
in the declarations of the Bible
can exert.
But the coming of the mil.
Iennium will not be by obser-
walton, for Christ's own word
declares that "no man knoweth
the day or the hour when the
Son of Man cometh."
That he will come he so de-
cIared, the early church be-
Iieved, and many devout Bible
scholars still believe.
The promise of the complete
rule of the Lord over all the
earth has not yet been fulfilled,
but who would dare say that it
was not yet to be? Who would
dare to say that the word
spoken by the Prophet Micah
will not be literally fulfilled.
