THE REASON WHY.

1 can save you money on valley land
is that l can still sell you several
tracts direct from the original native
owners.
Thus saving you the profits made by
each one Of the people who have
bought the land and resold it at a
profit.
Which means that I can save you the
profits made by from two to half a
dozen people who have bought and
sold the same land. having each made
"a profit on their investment which
means that all of these profits come
out Of your pocket unless you buy di-
rect from the original owners

What He Does

Adrian NJ. NcwcnS, who appears at
the Ordway Opera House next week,
while presented as a monologist, is all
that and more. His entertaining pur-
pose programs are truly entertain
ments with great purposes. lie inn
personatcs and yet lie does not. He
presents his characters Of real men
and women, without costumes or
makeup accessories. He is in no way
mechanically offensive. Probably the
strongest point in his work is the mes-
sage that he brings to his audience in
every program. His entertainment is
the sermon without the preacher, the
lecture without the lecturer, the
drama enacted without the actors and
stage properties.

Wednesdays Fire

Wednesday forenoon our citizens
were called out by fire ut the resi-
dence Of AL Thomas. In the northwest
part OF town, aud from the smoke
thrown out 1t was at first thought
that the fire was most serious one,
and as the wind was blowing a half
gale the response to the alarm was
prompt and numerous. 1t was dis
covered upon reaching the premises
that the flames were confined TO q
shed stable, some Outbuildings and a
hay stack In the rear of the house, all
OF which were pretty thoroughly de-
stroyed, the fire boys combining their
efforts mostly to keeping the fire from
spreading to adjoining property. The
loss was nominal. Considering the
amount OF wind we have In this vici-
nifty, Ordway has indeed been lucky
10 the fact that the last three occa-
sions for tile service OF the fire depart
ment have been attended with tritiing
losses and no spread OF the flames from
the original point. 1t is said that
some OF the brave fire laddies took a
severe tumble from the apparatus
while hurrying to the fire, but no
bones we're broken and surgeons
services were unnecessary to set any
broken bones.
