CERTAIN CONDITIONS that make
Investment in the Swigart tract the
most desirable in Michigan are easy
to understand. There's no mystery
about it. You know what the condl'
tons of any districts growth are,
though you may have never applied
this knowledge. The value OF land de-
pends in large measure on the mum.
ber of people who want 1t. Where
there is no demand land goes peg
ging at any price no matter It's value'
It requires special car excursions
every two weeks to take nome ana
land seekers to the Swigart tract.
1.-THE POINTS of superiority are aoll'
Iity to raise better and more frult =
apples, cherries, plums, peaches and
staple crops because of being In the
middle and best part of Michigan's
Fruit Belt, where we have warm,
prolific, sandy loan soil, most mod
erated<weather conditions and a plen'
tiful rainfall The lands are just, near
enough and just far enough from Lake
Michigan. We have the transporta-
tion of four railroads, and number
of steamship lines There are schools,
churches and new towns, and fine
farms throughout the tract. Things
have started here and development is
following rapidly. The local markets
of Ludington and Manistee haye 10000
consumers. A half-day's transit puts
out products on the Chicago, Grand
Rapids, Detroit and Milwaukee mar
kets at good prices and no spoilage.
IT'S A LIVE INVESTMENT -
Steadily each year the values go up.
It's an investment on rising market
NOT a speculation not guess work.
Don't delay in investing because you
think the sum of money you have at
hand is too little to start with. Put
ting things off keeps one back so
much longer from success. AS little
as IS to SO per month"; sum which
you now perhaps spend foolishly or
waste absolutely-is all you need to
keep you on the road to safe and
profitable investment in 40 acres Of

CLUB NOTES

The following is an account of the
recent convention Of the Seventh dis
trict Of the state Federation Of Wo-
mems clubs which took place at wal
halla last week, taken from the Wal
halla paper: On Tuesday afternoon,
the gavel, in the hands OF Mrs. A. M.
O'Connor Of st. Thomas, called the
delegates and visitors to the seventh
district meeting of the North Dakota
Federation Of Women's clubs to order,
in the Methodist church OF this city,
and the programme was begun. The
church pulpit was very tastefully
decorated with flowers in the color Of
the organization, white, green and yell
low. A duet by Mrs. McMurray and
Mrs. Scott, was the first number and
was enthusiastically received. Mayor
Blackjack then welcomed the ladies to
u city in a very happy and feIicitous
manner and turned over the keys OF
the city, and on behalf of the local
club the delegates and visitors were
welcomed by the clubs president, Mrs.
VIM. Lee, with kind words Of hearty
sincerity and wishes for a pleasant
and interesting meeting.
Owing to the inability OF Mrs.
August Short of Pembina the response
was made by Miss Conmy Of Pembina,
and there was no mistakfng the genu-
inc feeling of sincerity in their greet
ing and the desire to meet, more than
half way, the wishes Of good will that
had been expressed. Mrs. Scott gave
a solo after the speeches, and then
the club took up their routine york.
The evening vas devoted to the 500
cial side of the organization. At
the operahouse the assembly was
composed OF the delegates from other
federated, club members and a friend,
and members of the walhalla Com
mercial club. A delightful programme,
very short, but highly interesting,
was rendered. A song by the Ladies'
Glee club came first, and was followed
by a reading, The Polish Boy, by Mrs.
Olson of st. Thomas. Miss Harris OF
Pembina gave two short songs, one
German and one English, which were
greatly appreciated. The state presi-
dent, Mrs. N. c. Young, gave a short
but interesting talk nj the pro-
gramme was concluded with another
song from the Ladies Glee club.
Wednesday morning was devoted to
receipts of credentials and music by
Miss Harris followed by papers on
Landmarks Of walhalIa and a splen-
didly prepared and exceedingly well
delivered paper by Mrs. Grant s..
Hager, on The Pembinas. Mrs. A. q.
McMurray gave a song and Mrs. N. G.
Young, state president, made an ex-
ceIlent address to the ladies on the
purposes, aims and work of the feder-
alton and the loyalty with which
the good women of the state took hold
OF the work-not alone for pleasure
but as a duty. Mrs. II. G.. Wick Of
Cavalier was elected secretary-treas-
urer. The convention closed with
music.
