Oklahoma is offaring cheap homes 70 the dissatisfied ones who have dis covered that Canada was not the mecca t had been pictured It is the same old story of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. There is nar country On earth that really possesses the opportunity to own a home and be happy that the United States does, and this is proven by the thousands who come here from all other countries and not only stay themselves but induce their friends to come and they stay. Arkansas has thousands Of acres of fertile lands than can be bought at low figures and there are a few thousand acres of homestead landa that would make valuable farms and homes. Just at this time little advertising might result in g great deal of good to the state and to mankind.
