Rich Prairie Nearly Gone

The rich, gently-rolling prairie,
out of which northern Iowa and
southern Minnesota were formed,
mas vanished. In its 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 s115 and swiftly rising. Yet
it is absolutely as good as they;
and it can be bought just now at
$42.5O 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.

An Iowa Farm Not in Iowa

There is beautiful farm, located,
not in Iowa but near it, that is in a
class with Iowa's finest and best,

ia city of 5000 people, and coun-
ty seat of Nicollet County.
Nicollet County actually surpass-
es many Of our very best counties

for example, in Story County, Iowa,
which is one of our banner counties,
made an average yield of 1876 bush
els per acre in 1909, which was To-
was banner year; but in the same
year. Nicollet County, Minnesota,
yielded an average of 1913 bushels
per acre.
From st. Peter to this farm the
road is graveled all the way. 1t is
on rural mail route, has tele-
phone, and the distance tn school is
one half mile 1t is in rich COM
munity, and surrounded by highly
improved farms
1t consists of 230 acres of deep,
rich, black loan, over clay subsoil.
1t has a beautiful lay, being almost
smooth, but having excellent natural
drainage
All buildings are in good repair.
There is a good eight-room house,
big barn 40x60, plenty of out
buildings, windmill, cement tanks,
etc.
1t is in a neighborhood where
land is selling for $500 to $115 per
acre, and rising very fast, owing
to its splendid quality But this
farm can be bought for $3.50 per
acre, and the cash required is only
about $4,000, balance in yearly
payments if desired.

own personal judgment it is actu-
ally worth.

City. 1t is two miles from one rail
road station, three miles from an

Last years corn crop averaged fif-
ty bushels per acre, oats forty BUSH
els, and barley twenty bushels. All

but you may compare it with Iowa's
best years if you choose. 1t has

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Voting Of the
street car employees of Chicago on the
strike question ended at 4 o'clock this
morning The official vote will not be
known until tomorrow, but it was
stated unofficially today that the check
on the vote kept by the officials of the
unions involved and the early work of
the tellers showed beyond doubt that
the strike had carried by an over
whelming vote.
1t is generally believed, however, that
an attempt to effect a peaceful settle
ment will be made.
conference between the elevated
railroad employees and the companies
was held yesterday, and now the en-
ployers will hold a conference and draft
a proposition to submit to the men.
Two of the smaller street car COM

PRESS APPROVES
T|PP|NS ACT VETO
Politicians Can Not See How
Alexander Can Make Much
of Prohibition Issue.

If the comment of the state press re-
fleets the opinion of the people of
Georgia, the governors veto of the Tip
pins bill is approved generally, and
the houses action in sustaining the eX-
ecutive will be upheld.
1t is an undisputed fact that the fight
for the passage of the Tippins bill was
not approved heartily by many prohi
bition leaders in Georgia, and that it
actually was opposed by some.
Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, the father
of the present prohibition law, and as
ardent prohibitionist as can be found
anywhere, is known to have been doubt
full of the wisdom Of the Tippins bill
fight. and to have all but opposed it
openly.
Mr.. Wright is said to have felt that
the present experiment Georgia is try
ing out is too promising to disturb
that to endeavor to force the Tippins
act might result in spelling the excel
lent prohibition progress he thinks the
state already has made. And this view
is known to have been shared by many
other prohibition enthusiasts.
In the matter of the governorship,
the veto of the Tippins bill seems like
ly to cut little figure While it is con-
sidered the direct cause of Representa-
tive Hooper Alexander's candidacy the
impression is that he will not be able
to make much political capital of it.
Were the DeKalb county man to make.
or seek to make, the question of state
wide prohibition VS.. local option an is
sue he undoubtedly would make people
sit up and take notice. But he will
hardly be able to do that, because thou
sands of his prohibition friends, salts
fed with what they now have, would
resent bitterly such a campaign upon
his part. and because he himself would
hesitate to risk SO large a stake in a
game in which the time limit must nes-
essarily be so short
That Mr.. Alexander himself realizes
something of the situation is evidenced
in his statement that prohibition shall
be openly a collateral issue

ELLIS WILL WAGE
SAN|TAT|ONF FIGHT.
Tiff Representative to Insist on
Passage of Medical Bill for
Rural Schools.

With the Endorsement of the state
board of health, the Georgia Medical
association. the Collective Physicians
conference, the State Federation of La
Dor, the knights of Columbus and the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce behind
him, Representative Ellis. of Tiff, will
make a vigorous fight in the lower
house on Monday to obtain action on
his bill to establish system of SANTA
ton and medical inspection for the ru-
raj schools.
Representative Ellis said today that
IL his bill Is placed upon the house cal
endar it's passage is assured, as legis-
1ators have pledged their support.
The measure is the most comprehen-
sives anitation bill ever presented to a
Georgia legislature. 1t contemplates a
complete medical inspection of not only
school children but teachers as we'll.
In addition the bill provides for a pro-
gram Of education on sanitary methods
to be conducted by the state board of
health. It places the operation of its
machinery in the hands of the health
board.
Specifically, the board will divide the
state in sanitary districts, appointing
inspectors in each district who shall
have charge of the inspection of school
children. No little part Of the inspec-
tors work will be educational. They
will be required to deliver lectures on
sanitation in each school district at
least once a year.
