Iowa Farm Bargain near Market

This farm. which consists of 154
acres is in Palo Alto County, and
lies just one half mile from a small
railroad town with bank, three ele-
vators, school, creamery, lumber
yard, etc.
1t is in the northern part of the
state, in section which grows ex-
cellent crops, is unusually prosper
Gus, and in which the price of Land
is advancing very rapidly. Accord
ing to the government census re-
port, the average value per acre of
improved farms throughout Palo
Alto County more than doubled be-
tween 1900 and 1910, and at the
present time the value of the better
class of improved farms close to
town, to which this farm belongs,
is from 500 up, some of them be-
ing held considerably higher than
this.
This farm is in a splendid neigh
borhood of mixed nationalities. 1t
is rich black loan, containing a
small amount of sand, which makes
it a warm, quick-growing soil, and
very productive.
1t is beautiful farm, smooth,
and nearly level, but with just slope
enough for tile drainage, and near
ly all of it has been tiled More
than 125 acres are drained perfect
ly in this way. The remainder,
which does not really need it, is
now in tame hay, SO that it is all
tillable, and all in cultivation.
The buildings are in good average
condition. They include residence
1924, one and half stories high
with one story addition 1924;
a barn 40x4O with 16-foot posts;
a corn crib and granary 30x30; a
poultry house 12x14, etc. There
is good we'll with windmill. 1t is
all fenced and cross-fenced, and
there is grove and some fruit.
1t is a place Of many advantages.
It is close to market, to school, and
to creamery. It has fertile, black,
quick soil. 1t has perfect lay
and is well tiled. 1t has good build
ings in as good condition as those
on the average farm. 1t is a desira-
BILE farm in every respect, and it is
offered at much less than it's real
value.
The price is $3.50 per acre. 1t
will carry a mortgage loan of $55
or more per acre. or about $500.
The balance OF s4,875 is asked in
cash.

Rich Prairie Nearly Gone

The rich, gently-rolling prairie.
out of which northern Iowa and
southern Minnesota were formed,
has vanished. In it's place today are
tens of thousands of the most fer
tile, beautiful, and highly improved
farms of the great Midwest.
One of the very few excellent
pieces of it still left unimproved, is
an eighty acre tract near LIE Sueur
in the best part of southern Mimi
esota. 1t is the richest, blacklist,
loan. and every foot of it is pillow
land, sixty acres now being under
cultivation. Only few miles away,
improved farms are now selling at
$50 to $115 and swiftly rising. Yet
it is absolutely as good as they;
and it can be bought just now at
S42.50 with cash payment of
$4,000, and three years time on the
balance.
1t is certain that this eighty will
double in value within a few years.
1t is an IDEAL small investment,
where idle money will grow steadily
and surely.

Can You Judge q Farm?

If you are good judge Of Land,
as most Iowans are, want you to
weigh this quarter section farm
carefully, and decide what, in your
own personal judgment it is actu-
ally worth.
1t is located in one of the best
counties of southern Minnesota, a.
bout twenty miles from the Iowa
line. and nearly north of Mason
City. 1t is two miles from one rail-
road station, three miles from an
other, and four miles from g third.
1t is surrounded by splendidly i'm
proved farms, is forty rods from
school, and is on rural mail route
and telephone line.
1t lies from level to gently rolling
with excellent drainage There is
NO waste land on it. Every foot
is tillable. The soil is fine, rich,
black loam, as fertile as Iowa's best.
Last years corn crop averaged fif-
ty bushels per acre, oats forty BUSH
els. and barley twenty bushels. ALI
crops were injured by the drouth,
but you may compare it with Iowa's
best years if you choose. 1t has
always been well stocked, and the
soil is in high state of fertility.
The improvements are worth at
least $4,000. There is good
house, a big barn 32x6O with lean
to on both sides, good granary, corn
cribs, hog house, poultry house, etc.
It is fenced and cross-fenced. There
is a good orchard with plenty of
small fruit.
Note the proximity Of markets,
rich soil and big crops of small
grain as well as corn, the total abb
sence of waste land, and the excel
lent improvements. The fact is of
course that Iowa farms with not all
of these advantages are selling
commonly nowadays at $3.50 to 5000
per acre.
WHAT is 1T WORTH? Decide
for yourself.
can sell it at SIS per acre on
the following terms: $1,000 down,
$4,000 next March, and balance

in the entire Middle West is a 600
acre farm, located in Nicollet Coun-
ty, in southern Minnesota, and ad-
joining village of mostly German

About 500 acres of it are tillable,

All Of it slopes gently to the south
ward. More than eighty per cent
OF the farm is rich black loan,
the remainder shading to a rich,
sandy loam.
There are three good dwellings
on the farm, all with stoned cellars.

a silo 1920. horse barn 4Ox4O, cat
tie shed 26x so, meal room 12x16,

cribs, milk house, etc.
The farm has never had failure
of corn crops. A big herd Of dairy
cows is kept upon IT. and as rule
several cars of cattle are fed on it
every winter.
It is highly productive farm, and
the location is ideal. 1t is worth,
according to prices OF surrounding
lands, from $S5 to $50 per acre.
But the owner is a very wealthy
man, living in California, who Of
fers it at$72.5O per acre. He asks
any reasonable cash payment to in
sure that the place is sold, and will
give easy terms on balance.

1.-THE distribution of a fac-simile of
the Joline letter Is not anonymous. Mr.,
Joline was the president of the Mis-

he delivered a speech before the board
of directors of that road and In that
speech abused Mr.. Bryan and the
legislatures OF the Western and South
western States for trying to regulate
railroads and make them obey the
laws.
HE attacked the laborers OF the
country In the most vicious manner.
The letter of Mr.. Wilson to Mr. Joline
was in reply to a letter from Mr.. Joline
to Mr.. Wilson enclosing a copy of the
abusive speech. The important feature
of the letter is not that Wilson wished
Bryan knocked into a cooked hat but

a single bit of good.
A four-months-old poodle was Jack.
He vas the pet of Miss Alice Jacobs.
who has IN apartment with an actress

few nights ago received an engagement
ring valued at $1SS from the mar she

that night she found the POODLE In the
fold of the mattress, but the ring was
absent. Jack greeted her with a luxur-
ious smile and Miss Jacobs assumed
that Jack had swallowed the ring.
She made known her theory to the
police. They agreed with her and coun-
selled the death and ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF

Miss Jacobs. crying, watched the au-

pie, he had better show 1t was a for
gerry and did not represent his real
sentiments, rather than undertake to
abuse III people who circulated 1t.
Mr.. Wilson's Spokesman Jay that
yet another piece of literature is in the
form of an eight-page letter from
George Fred Williams. The letter from
Mr.. Williams was written in December
and addressed to me. It espouses the
aus OF no candidate. 1t is a review
of Mr.. Wilson's boob and quotes from
his book. giving the pages where the
extracs can be found.
IF this is an assault upon Mr.. VIII
son, 1t is an assault by himself upon
himself.
There has been no word from Mr..
Wilson in any of his speeches to in
dicate that he has been converted from
the infamous teachings of this book
or now is in sympathy with the classes
he attacked. 1t will not do for Mr..
Wilson or his friends to escape the In
fanny of his own record by abusing
others.
II am opposed to the nomination Of
Mr.. Wilson because I believe that he
has not changed his views on these
questions and because I believe that
if nominated by the Democratic party.
the campaign will be one Of defense
and explanation to the neglect of all
the questions which now agitate the
great public and that 1t must end in
his defeat. I, therefore, think we
should nominate a candidate whose
record needs no defense and who is in
sympathy with the progressive senti-
ment of the day"
