REFUSES $4,000 FOR.
HIS F0RTY-ACRE PLACE

LAVONIA, Ca. Oct. Livery once in
awhile something comes along to con-
vince the observers of the trend of pro-
gress that the limit has not been reacn-
ed in high priced land yet. When MAJ
living in Franklin county clothed and IN
his right mind refuses to accept $1,000
for a 40-acre farm, it is time for people
to sit up and take notice.
Bob Price was the man that offered
this price for land and Foster Thomas
was the man that refused it. 1t was for
the choice part of Mr. Thomas farm a
mile above Lavonia- Mr.. Thomas says
that his improvements are worth about
$50 an acre or $1,000 and that the offer
for the land outside of improvements was
in the neighborhood of 800 an acre.
This land is as fine as a crow ever
flew over, and those who have been
seeing the crops grow on it are not sur
prised at the offer Mr.. PIERCE nor the
refusal by -Ir. Thomas There are few
farms in Franklin county in as cool
shape as this farm. A few yeas ago it
was considered high at $40 an acre There
are thousands of acres in FranKiin
county that can be made as valuable as
Mr. Thomas land.

BUTTS COUNTY VALUES
DOUBLE IN TEN YEARS

JACKSON, Ca. Oct. Figures COM
piled by the city and county officials.
yesterday, show that within the last ten
years Butts county and Jackson have
practically doubled in real and personal
wealth. Within that time the county has
been made one of the representative in
the state, and farm lands have increased
more than 800 per cent. The roads are
among the best in the state; all new
steel bridges have taken the place of
the old wooden ones, and its telephone
service is considered the best of any
rural county in the state.
Taxable values in Butts county in
1900 were $1,446,O62. At the last assess
ment they were $2,213,5s5, In the city of
Jackson the total assessment is $l,n4'S44.
The increase within the last year was
s12s,51s. When work, now under con-
struction, is completed, the real and per-
onal peroperty property in the county
will BIS practically $5,OOOOOO, while that in
the city will have increased to very
nearly s1,2OO.OOO.

The trouble to which you refer is more
or less of a permanent nature, since it

three years. 1t is, of course, almost i'm
possible to diagnose and treat case of
lameness successfully without an oppor-
tunity to examine the patient at first
hand, as a variety Of causes may pro-
duce this trouble, and it is often difficult
to diagnose the exact seat of lameness

shoes, and turning out to pasture are
among the best suggestions which cas-
be offered for the cure of the trouble, UNI

About the only suggestion which coulo

Safe Food for the Little Ones

|. The delight of children is pastry,
cookies, cakes, doughnuts, and other
dainties, in many of which cooking
fat is used. Lard is risky; ii is simply
hog fat sometimes impure, often indi-
gestible. To use butter is expensive and
often impracticable. However, Cotto-
lene-the pure vegetable-oil cooking fat
can be used in every way the same as
butter or lard; it makes light, digestible,
healthful food, and at less expense, too,
one-third less being required than of
either butter or lard. If you value the
health of your children, shorten THEN
food with Cottolene.
