home Seekers, by Joining The
Calls Free Excursion, May
Inspect Farm Sites

Never before in the history of San
Francisco as real estate center has so
much interest been taken in an effort
to populate the farming sections.
The free home seekers excursion,
operated under the auspices of The
Call, June 8, was tremendous sue
cess. 1t carried 125 active, bona fide
seekers after California lands Imme-
diate results were recorded So strong
was the interest aroused at that time
that frequent sales are still resulting
from it.
The big free home seekers excur-
sion to Modesto district next Thursday
is attracting still more widespread
interest. Though the original limit
was 125, it looks very much as il many
more would have to be taken, so eager
are the home seekers to go. There
is constant stream of inquiries every
day at the home seekers department
of The Call
SOIL is RICH
The Modesto district, the magnet at
tracing the attention of the people, is
worthy of the promotion given it. 1t
is in Stanislaus county, in the upper
portion of the San Joaquin valley ia
miles southeast of San Francisco. The
soil is admittedly among the richest
In the state and its irrigation system
is unexcelled. 1t has Southern Pacific,
Santa Fe and river boat transportation
facilities 1t enjoys climate. even and
ideal. 1t produces every fruit, grain
and vegetable familiar to this zone 1t
boasts the finest fig and walnut trees.
The best alfalfa grows there. 1t yields
more tons to the cutting and more cut
tings to the season than any other soil
cultivable to home seekers in the San
Joaquin valley. 1t raises fine cattle,
and the butter made there is of the
best. Butter bearing the Modesto stamp
brings the highest market price.
The home seeker selecting the Mo-
desto district is assured success. Where
every element of soil. water, climate
and transportation favors him there
can be no such thing as failure with
moderate industry.
MAN BEHIND THE PLOw
He enters into a community eager
and glad to accept him. The great need
of the day in the Modesto district is
the man behind the plow. Ten acres
of such land means a substantial living,
20 acres assures independence, and 40
acres means for the plowman free
dom from financial care and an auto
mobile. Land containing more than
100000 acres, we'll watered is available
for homes.
By joining The Calls free excursion
Thursday home seekers will be able to
see for themselves the great possibili-
ties of the Modesto district, where the
land owns the water"
Full information. with maps, folders
and free return tickets may be obtained
at the excursion headquarters, office
of The Call, Third and Market streets,

Tousel Head said. Mamma, dear,

I've been naughty, that | know,
And to bed right now I'll go,
And I'll never disobey,
And I'll mind all that you say
Then to bed he scurried fast,
Thinking of what had just passed.
Wink and Blink then came around,
And when Tousel Head they found.
Got as busy as could be
(For it was their work, you see);
And the Sand Man, through hole.
In the door then quickly stole.
Soon young Tousel Head did close
Both his eyes and gently doze
Then Sweet Slumber in quick flight,
Bore him back on Wings of Night.
When they came to Dreamiand's gate,
They were very, very late;
First he knocked and then he cried:
"Open quick! I'm here outside!
I've lad who wants to run
All DER Dreamland and have fun"
When the gate was opened wide,
Tousel Head walked right inside;
Up some stairs he climbed and then
Saw large crowds of hungry men.
Millions stood around him there,
Eating great big chunks of air,
While few reached up and got
Hunks of clouds that were red hot.

FRYING SPRING CHICKEN

Spring chickens should be cook
ed slowly and carefully. First re-
move the feathers with medium
hot water. Disjoint the fowl and
roll the pieces in flour. Put suf
ficient butter and lard in baking
pan to season the meat and lay
in the pieces. Add a few drops of
water to create steam and cover
the pan. Place it in the oven to
bake slowly. From time to time
pour liquor made of milk and
water over the pieces. This saves
watching the chicken as is neces-
sary if it is fried. When the meat
is tender remove the cover to
brown the pieces, turn them, and
when done place on heated plat
ter and make the gravy. Blend
the flour with milk, as it Is diff
cult to blend it with the greasy
liquor in the pan. From one to
six chickens can easily be cooked
In this manner and have the taste
of fried chicken.

ANTI-FAT
Evening Story for the F amaily Circle

Henry Small entered with the most
rOtund specimen of masculinity
Winters had ever seen. Not over
five feet six inches tall, the
stranger looked as If he might
measure all that in diameter. His
round. pink face glowed with re-
cent shaving. and his step Jared
the chandeliers.
Small introduced him as Mr.. AL
berts. Alberts began to make his
presence felt from the first. His
sponsor thoughtfully directed him
toward little gilt chair, upon
which he seated himself with re-
suits inevitable. Alberts arose from
the ruins about as gracefully as an
elephant climbing out Of a conser,
vatory. Winters seized the oppor
tunity while he was still flustered
to tell a funny story. 1t was a
good story and we'll told; but AL
berts. Notwithstanding the sense of
humor commonly associated with
his avoirdupois. missed the point.

to him with some pains his laugh
ter was entirely too loud and pro-

longed for parlor performance.
And then the fire bell rang. Co.
ing to fires was hobby with Miss
Arthur. Its location was out Of
reach of trolleys; so they all
walked. Then when a bright glare
burst upon the sky Miss Arthur
started to run with the three men
Looping after her. At least Winters
and Small loped. Alberts trotted,
and as it VS. warm night he was
soon reduced to condition Of
breathless moisture. He was not a
pleasant sight, as they stopped I'M
der an electric light to allow him
to recuperate. Miss Arthur could
not help contrasting his perspiring
state with that of Winters and
Small, who breathed as quietly as
If they were sitting in her parlor.
After moment Alberts thought he
could try it again, and the two con-
spirators set SITTER pace than
ever, until even Miss Arthur, golfer
and tennis player and modern
American girl though she was, had
to beg them to go slower.
When they stopped and looked
back Alberts was nowhere in sight;
and from this point he passes out
of the story. In fact, there is little
of the story left to tell. 1t was a
spectacular fire, and it was late be-
fore they returned to Miss Arthur's
home. Then there was something
to eat, of course, and Helen's moth
err brought in lemonade, and they
sat late discussing the events of the
evening.
Alberts name, however, was
avoided until the two friends arose
to go. Then Bob Winters remark
ed innocently:
Il think I'll drop in at the hos
pital on my way home and see how
Alberts is getting along"
DO you really think he was as
used up as that" asked Miss Ar
thur, anxiously.
"You can't tell" said Winters.
"Those fat men generally have
weak heart. Too bad: he's such a
jolly, good fellow. Such a sense of
humor."
