THE OLD STORY

Five years ago l could have bought
that land for a song, and now it is
selling from $100. 90 per acre up" Yes,
we have all had the chances, and most
of us have missed them. It is all right
to make n mistake, but we should
not make the same mistake every day
Of our lives. As the poet says, in the
name Of Opportunity:
They do me wrong who say I come
nd more. +
When once I knock and fail to find
you in:
For every day, ]. stand outside your door
And bid you come with me to fight and
win"
For instance, here is the Tamarindo
Plantation, on the Southern Pacific
railroad. on the west coast of Mexico.
where the Dickinson people are now
buying over a thousand acres, in
twenty-five acre tracts, at about 81
per acre. Terms: SIS down. balance,
$40 q month without interest or taxes.
This is perhaps the best chance oppor.
tunity has ever offered you This LAND
is worth $500 per acre in producing
value, but not. in selling value-not yet.

What Happens Whom q Devil Jumps
Down a Patients Throat
| It is the custom for a Chinatnan to
visit the barber every week to have
general overhauling. First, the head
and face are shaved: second. the ears
are scraped and cleansed with small
brush made of ducks hair; third. the
upper and lower eyelids are scraped
with a dull edged knife. oil granula-
tons being smoothed away. and then
an application is made with u DUCKS

This is the reason why you will find
