Low Priced Acreage
Low Priced Acreage

Reader, there has been more good money
made in buying low priced lands the past few
years than in any other class OF investments.
We do not mean cheap poor lands, at
low price, but good lands at a low figure. II
takes time and money and experience to get
good lands; lands with water rights or close to
the surface. or in paying pumping distance. For
the past four years we have been devotng
most Of our time to this class Of real estate.
We believed, and still believe. that there Is
good, yes. big money in buying good acreage
at prices which 1t can be bought ia many
sections Of the state. You can add 20 per
cent for your profit and still be within a price
that the land will produce enough to pay the
last purchaser a good deal more than living
interest on his Investment.
But to find these properties, as we said be-
FORE takes time. money and experience.
In the past few months we have made half
dozen trips through the San Joaquin and Sac
ramento valleys as far north as Red Blun in
Tehama county. This is a strip Of territory
about 800 or 700 miles long and we have found
some good properties. But we have turned
down over one-half OF the properties we went
to see But we think the following list Of prop
critics worthy of investigation. We have per-
sonaly seen the most Of them.

HAD THE AUDIENCE WITH HIM
Christian Missionary Had Little Show
In Argument with Native
MoIlah.

As a medical Missionary, stationed
for 16 years in northwestern India,
near the Afghanistan frontier, Dr. T.
l.. Pennell had his share Of peril and
adventure. which he has recounted In
a volume entitled, among the Wild
Tribes Of the Afghan Border"
AS a medical man, DR.. Pennell had
his ups and downs with the native
doctors, who sweat their patients and
burn sores with lighted OIL but have
no faith in western treatment. They
also bleed and purge; but gradually
the new-fangled treatment was ac-
cepted, and grateful converts were
made at the Bannu dispensary.
AS a missionary. DIR. Pennell had
to contend with the mollahs, who are
argumentative and great browbeaters;
and very often. he confesses, he got
the worst of it by verdict of the
ragged crowd that hemmed in the
theologians.
With a certain mollah, who regard
ed the Christian medicine-man as a
rival, DR.. Pennell had an amusing en-
counter.
do you know" asked the mollah,
what becomes of the sun when 1t
sets every day."
The doctor gave the native circle
the scientific explanation.
RUBBISH" exclaimed the mollah.
I'VE all know that the fires OF hell
are under the earth, and that the sun
passes down every night, and there
fore comes up blazing hot in the
morning"
All DR.. Pennell's accounts of natural
phenomena we're ridiculed by the mol
lab. Then, turning to bis people, he
said. with contempt in his face and
voice:
ut is evident that shall have to
teach him everything from the be-
ginning. youths Companion.

ORIGIN OF BRITISH SQUARE
Battle Formation First Used by
Scotch Troops at the Battle Of
Bannockburn.

The greatest of all Scotch anniver-
saries is that of Bannocburn, fought
on midsummer day in the year 1914.
Apart from its bearing on the indie
pendence of Scotland, the battle will
always have an exceptional interest
from the military point of view, as
Bannockburn may be said to have
been the birthplace of the British
square. Proud Edwards" army
mainly consisted of cavalry, while
that of the Scots, on the other hand.
was almost exclusively composed Of
foot-folk, armed with the spear, and
these Bruce threw into "schiltroms,"
OF oblong squares-a formation Dor
rowed by Wallace from the Flemings,
who had employed It with success at
Courtray-to resust the charge of the
English cavalry.
Hitherto the mHNpfed mail-clad
knight had eaxa&h 1ee4VtAing before
him, but Courtray ana Bannockburn
