SALE OF REAL ESTATE.

W. S. Dorman of the Wilbur Realty
company on Saturday closed an inn
portant deal by which he disposed OF
800 acres of range and alfalfa land To-
Gated neartheast of Phoenix. receiving
therefor the sum of $4,000. Eighty
acres of the land is in alfalfa. the bal
ance being for stock range. Mr.. Dor
man says that the price was not very
high, but that is accounted for by the
location The same land located near
Mesa would have probably brought a
great deal more. John Marley was the
purchaser of the ranch, which will be
used for stock breeding

course. there are many yet left. but
every time a bracelet is sold the
choice is that much lessened. for in
all the large stock there are no two
alike. The Navajo silversmiths never
made two bracelets alike.

still stands. ANY bracelet bought
there Will be taken back AT any time

store is in the market for Indian
bracelets 1t will even buy bracelets
which were bought elsewhere at their
value in coin silver provided. Of

inc Indian made
A great many Of the so-called In
dian bracelets sold have never been
seen by an Indian: thev have been
made only for the trade Many Of
them are not even of silver. but are
made Of German silver. which is not
silver at all one Of the most com
mon and conspicuous Of the fake
bracelets is one on which a swastika
cross overlays the bracelet. a design
that no Indian ever thought Of The
Indians frequently engrave the cross
on the body Of the bracelet. but they
never overlap it.
OF course. such bracelets the Big
Curio store could not take; il could
not afford to have them in stock
Such bracelets are recognized as far
as they can be seen. Ladies who
have been imposed upon and have
been inveigled into wearing these i'm
itation bracelets are invited 10 call at
the Big Curio store where they will
be given such information that they
cannot be imposed upon again.

ton. Gives His Opinion as to
Which Is Best for Babies,

Some years ago a celebrated chem
list, after examining the milk of differ
ent cows, made the following report
as to which was the best milk to raise
babies on: The Jersey had too much
oil in it, the Holstein too much cheese.
and the milk from the Devons was the
best, as it had more sugar in 1t and
nearer the milk of the baby's mother,
says the American Cultivator. just
then a young mother died leaving a
baby twelve days old, and 1t so hap
pened that the father read this report
so he rented fresh Devon milk COW
and fed the babe on the milk of that
COW for more than two years. She
grew up to be fine, large, healthy
young lady, and at fifteen years of age
was two inches taller than her father,
and in her class at school with girls
much older than she was.

labor in tho same amount of time. to
say nothing of the wear and tear on
mans back and body.
Almost every year a farmer buys
some implement that he can use only
during one season of the year-per-
haps only a few days; but the low
wheel wagon is something that he
can use every day in the year.
The broad tires make the draft
lighter, and that means saving the
team. OF course for certain kinds of
road use there will always be a de-
mand for the narrow tire wheels, but
on a smooth surface and particularly
where the ground is soft the pull on
the team is decreased Is per cent to
80 per cent for the simple reason that
the broad tires do not sink into the
ground; the wider bearing surface OF
the tire distributes the load In such
a manner as to buoy the wagon up
and keep 1t on top of the ground.
Especially on plowed ground or very
muddy roads these wheels do not mire
like the ordinary wheels. which Of
course makes the saving on the horses
even greater.

USEFUL LoW-WHEEL WAGON
Has Been Found Practically tsdIspen.
sable for Various Jobs Around
Farm Every Day In Year.

Every farmer knows that there are
numberless small jobs about the place
that require the use of a wagon where
the bed will be close to the ground
SO as to make the lift as short as pos.
sible.
That need has been met with the
low-wheel wagon and has made 1t
practically indispensable for gathering
apples, and hauling basket fruit. fod-
der, manure. hay and grain. clearing
the fields Of stones and stumps and
carrying tools and timber for fixing
up fences. or any odd Job. say. like
hauling away a fallen tree.
Then there is nothing that fills the
bill better for all kinds of work in the
corn fields. There is no earthly rea-
son why a man should lift the corn as
high as his shoulder when the low
wagon will permit him to perform the
