Three Nations to Attack Turkey.

Constantinople, Sept. 6.-Reports
received here today that Greece,
Bulgaria and Servia are planning a
combined attack on Turkey have
seriously concerned the officials of
the Ottoman government. A mem
ber of the cabinet said unofficially
that the government would not be
sorry If the threats were carried into
executions. Conditions, he said,
could not be worse, and successful
war with the three countries men
toned might help to clear up the
tangled situation.

Farm Bargain Stands
Alone

A magnificent farm of 52s acres, ad-
joining email railroad village be-
tween Charles City and Cedar Falls,
stands alone, we think, as the greatest
bargain in all Iowa. 1t is in very
rich section where crop yields are big,
farms highly improved and everybody
is prosperous.
About 400 acres of it are beautiful,
very gently rolling pillow land. The
balance, lying along stream. can not
be cultivated to good advantage, but
is unusually good pasture land. The
soil is the finest alluvial black loan,
shading on one side to Every rich
sandy loan. All crops have been fed
on the place for years, so that it is in
high state of fertility.
The house is splendid structure

ment, and one story addition 1916.
1t is furnace heated and has good
cistern. Other buildings are: Base

Rich Prairie All Gone

The rich, gently rolling prairie, out
of which northern Iowa and southern
Minnesota we're formed, has vanished.
In it's place today are tens OF thous-
ands of the most fertile, beautiful and
highly improved farms of the great
Midwest.
One of the very few excellent pieces
of it, still left unimproved, is an so
acre tract near LIE Sueur in the best
part of southern Minnesota. 1t Is the
richest, blacklist loan, and every foot
of it is pillow land, 60 acres now being
under pillow. Only few miles away
improved farms are now selling at $50
to $l15 and rising rapidly. Yet it is
absolutely as good as they, and it can
be bought just now at $40 so, 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 yeare.

money will grow steadily and surely.
