EVERY TUESDAY

On account of the ina migra-
ton from Illinois and Iowa the
Kerr Land Co. have been com
PEELED to run the special land
excursions every Tuesday.
Now is the time to 60 if you
are looking that way.
There is no country like the
Lethbrioge wheat district for a
man with a small capital. One
years crop will put you in a
better position financially than
you have ever been.
Remember you are not going
into wild country when you
buy. You have neighbors all
around, and nearly all Ameri-
cans and they do enjoy life.
Wherever there are 8 children
or more, the government furn-
1shes a modern school house.
Don't put your trip off if you
are looking for an opportunity
to better your financial condi-
ton, for you will pay % to 90
per cent more in a short time.
Remember train leaves Min.

There hasn't been a time in
the last seven years that Red
wood county farms could be
bought at as low figures as
they can right now.
[ want to tell you if you are
able to purchase a Redwood
county farm at present prices
in ten years you will look
back and say, [ did we'll when
1 bought that farm.
1t makes no difference where
you buy land, if you hold on to
it you will make money.
About the only difference in
Minnesota land and Canada
land is that Minnesota land is
fast becoming a poor wheat
country and farmers are com
PEELED to raise more stock and
tame grasses, which means a
large amount of capital.
In Canada or Alberta, the
best wheat and small grain
country in the world, a man
does nicely with a small CAPT
tai. 4 good horses, pillow, disk
and binder are the principle
tools necessary to make money.
Remember, am not knock
ing Redwood county land, as
Redwood county is all right
for man with capital.
If you are figuring on a Red
wood county farm call at my
Office and | can fit you out with
most any kind of a farm and
any kind of terms.
You people who are renting
you homes in the city of Red.
wood Falls, why don't you buy
and apply your rents as pay
ments? | have number t1
nice homes that [ can sell on
these terms.
Inside of 10 years, predict
Redwood Falls city of al
least 5000 inhabitants.
My commissions are reason.
able to buyers and sellers.
Don't Forget Next

Bill Comstock in Trouble
EARLY in the spring was ordered BY the marshal
Il to accompany him to the post after prisoner
who was to be tried for a shooting scrape that
occurred at Fort Wallace On our arrival the officer
of the day took to the guardhouse and pointed
out the prisoner.
Imagine my surprise when found him to be no
other than my old friend and much loved comrade,
Bill Conlstock, who had given my first lessons as
scout and guide. / caught his eye squarely. There
was something passed between us of understanding
which | cannot describe but had been in too
many perilous places together not to be able to
understand each other without speech. He had a
ball and chain attached to his ankle. | stepped
quickly to him and gave him my hand to
sist him to arise. If anyone could have known all
that | tried to convey to him in that grasp of my
hand | fear MY services as deputy marshal would
have been dispensed with right then and there. But
he entirely unknown to the marshall SO |
safe from detection.
We were on horseback and rode beside the ambu-
lance furnished to transport him to Hayes City.
Court opened with due form; but in the
time | had been busy guarding the prisoner, and
getting his story. | had also found opportunity
to talk with the attorney who a friend of mine
told him of the facts of the shooting | had OBJ
tanned them from Bill, also of my long acquaintance
and warm friendship for the man, and told him
would stake my life the truth of his statements
