How shall We know it is thc last
goodbye?
The skies will not be darkenet in
that hour,

flower,
No single bird viii hush its careless
cry
And you will hold my hands, and
smile or sigh
Just as before. Perchance the SUD
den tears
In your dear eyes will answer to my
fears;
But there will come no voice of
prophecy:
No voice to whisper. Now, and not
again.
Spa.e for last words. last kisses, and
last prayel.
For all the wild. unmit,gatcd pain
Of those who, parting clasp hands
with despair
"Who knows?' we say, but doubt
and fear remain,
Would any choose to part thus
unaware

Rev. Robert Gordon VIII Use Opinions
of Others on Subject.

The Rev. Robert Gordon has sent a
letter to a number of bankers and
prominent business men asking them
to send a statement to him relative
to their opinion as to whether every
young man should own a home. The
letters will be made use of in ser
mon Sunday night. At the same time
Rev Mr.. Gordon will show on the
screen some housing conditions that
exist in Topeka. The letter to bankers
and business men follows:
Il intend to speak Sunday night to
young people on the subject, "A
Home for Every Family and How to
Secure It
..There is need, in my opinion. that
the economic, social and moral i'm
portance of owning a home be made
clear to young people If you agree
with me in this, and If you can con-
veniently do so. I would be pleased TO
receive a statement of your reasons
why every young couple should aim
to own a home and also a suggestion
or two on how to get it

Houston, the
Chicago Of the
South

Houston has a population of 105,-
600, and is served by IT railroads, all
with seaboard connections. Her pop
ulation was doubled within the last
five years, and every indication is that
it will more than again double inside
of the next five years. It is a great
manufacturing city, where everything
is turned out, from a lead pencil to
LOGON olive. It is market for all kinds
of farm products, and for prices that
average higher than in most any 9TH
er city on the continent. THE IOWA
COLONY is ONLY IS MILES FROM
HOUSTON. Our farmers do not have
to pay out the big end of their pro-
duction to get products to a never
satisfied central market-with sea-
board connections less than so miles
away.
There is no finer climate than in
the IOWA COLONY. Rainfall is
abundant and never failing. Soil is
easy working, no rocks, stumps or
swamps. Finest of drinking water,
unfailing supply, within % feet. No
malaria, no rheumatism and no
asthma. No negroes in Iowa Colony.
Two schools in the colony. Graded
school now being built. for which stu
dents will be taken to and from in
public conveyances. A handsome
church in the course of construction.
A thoroughly fine place to live.
The Iowa Colony is a LIVE com
nunity where progressive-minded
Northern folks are living in peace and
plenty.

After carefully investigating the
land offered for sale by the Hazard &
Chesley Land Company of the Iowa
Colony, s miles south of Houston, I
bought eight tracts of land. I con-
slider this the best investment 1 have
ever made in real estate. Have farmed
for forty years, a good portion of this
time in Brown County, Kan. I am
familiar with farming conditions all
over Kansas. and I truly believe that
land in the Iowa Colony will produce
from two to three times as much of
the same kinds of crop we can raise
in Kansas. 1 believe that the land
will sell for more than double the
price now being asked in less than two
years. Here every condition is more
favorable for general farming than in
the north L can see no reason why.

Read what some of the TOpe-

the Colony and bought land.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. IS, 1911.
Last September I visited the Iowa
Colony in the Gulf Coast country of
Texas, rode over a large portion of
it, and have to say that I consider it
a very fine location and a beautiful
landscape. The soil is mostly black,
deep, rich and very productive I
was well enough satisfied with it to
buy four ten-acre tracts, as you know,
and expect that within a year from
now land in the Iowa Colony will be
selling for 500 an acre.
know of no place where anyone
can buy land as cheaply as in the
Iowa Colony that will be as profitable
or increase in value more rapidly.
