Earlier OPENING.
Words or Bullets.

A rather turgid orator. noted for
his verbosity and heaviness, was once
assigned to do some campaigning In
g mining camp in the mountains, says
the Kansas City Times. There were
about fifty miners present when he
began. But when, at the end of a
couple of hours he gave no sign of
finishing, his listeners dropped away.
Some went back to work, but the ma
jority sought places to quench their
thirst which had been aggravated by
the dryness of the discourse.
Finally there was only one auditor
left, q dilapidated, weary looking old
fellow. Fixing his gaze on him the
orator pulled out a large six-shooter
and laid it on the table. The old fell
low rose slowly and drawel out:
BE you goin' to shoot If 1 go?'
You bet am" replied the speaker.
I'm bound to finish my speech, even
II have to shoot to keep an audi
ence.'
The old fellow sighed in a tired man
ner and edged slowly away. saying as
he did so:
well, shoot If you want to. may
jest as well be shot as talked to

NEW FOLDER
 IF NOVEL SORT
Circular Issued by the Mesa Improvement Co.,, Ex- plotting the Chandler Lands; Sixty Sales in the Last Few Weeks

One of the finest real estate of fees in Los Angeles is that of the Mesa Improvement company. which also has an office in this city. Though 1t is maintained in the coast city primarily for the selling Of what is known as Chandler land. it IS also doing a great deal for the Salt River valley generally in giving it publicity, for it is the broad plan of the promoters Of the Chandler enterprise to develop the whole valley. The sale of a ranch in the Chandler section is d boost for the whole valley: the sale Of a ranch anywhere else in the valley is an indirect boost Tor the Chandler acres for the time is fast coming when all the acreage will be in de- mGnd.
 Dick Wick Hall was recently made assistant manager Of the Los An eeles office of the Mesa Improvement company. He writes that the office is now interviewing over thousand people per month and is distributing about 25 900 booklets and other print cd documents per month. over sixty sales of valley property have been made in the last few weeks and he says he thinks it is well demon strated that California is the place to advertise Arizona lands.
 Mir. Hall. who has been a well known figure in central Arizona for some years is nothing if he is not original and unique in his methods He has recetly issued for distribu ton among homeseekors. a new fold er telling How you can make Sll.- 900 per year. gross. on forty acres of Chandler ranch lands" One side of the folder is devoted to presen- tation of facts and figures and to signed testimonials Of the valley res iGents who tell what they have done in practical farming. giving acreage. crops. results and all necessary fig ureS.
 But it is the other side Of the folder which attracts attention for there one sees a birdseye view of forty-acre ranch with all the inn provements told about in the testi- monials. IL is printed in cOlors and .s very realistic. The house. barn. garden. orange. lemon. pomelO. pear. peach. plum and apple orchards. Toultry yard. berry and small fruit acreage. hay field and alfalfa pas ture for the dairy cows. are all pie tured in the proportiOnate acreage suggested Tn fact there is only one thing missing from the picture and that is that there is only q row of trees and no fence around the COW pasture. The cows are plainly seen ir the picture and the wonder is that they did not get away before the artist got them embalmed in oil
 II is truly very realistic picture Of a model valley farm, as Mir. Hall explains. the result of careful study Of conditions. and while some of the figures may seem large and it is not probable that any one man will do as much as this on forty acres. it is possible to do mc-e than this, as is evinced by the testimonials in the circular.
