DOES IT PAY TO
BUY IOWA LAND?
Iowa Statewide Publicity Commission
Deals out Some Interesting
Facts Concerning Iowa.
LAND SELLING AT $500 AN ACRE
Ten Years Ago Same Land Was Sell
ling at From SIS to 500. Iowa
Land Best Investment

"Naw," said the dry-goods- box or
ator, There amt no money to be
made in Iowa land any more. It's toe
high. Nobody is goin to have any
thing left when he pays hundred dol
lars an acre for land and figures inter
est on his investment, taxes, and pay
ments. Why, | can remember when
good Iowa land could be bought for
ten dollars an acre. In them good old
days there was some sense in ivestin'
your money in real estate, but there
is nothin' left in the way OF snaps. y
And then the d-g-b orator meander-
ed slowly down the street with his
weather eye out for somebody who
might invite him to have drink.
Ten years ago when the very best
farms in the country were selling at
from SIS to 500 an acre, the ubiqui-
tous, theoretical tinancier talked
eravely and learnedly, as well as statis-
tically, OF the impossibility OF further
advance in the price of land, but some
how theory is not always sustained in
practice, and today we are not sur
prised when farm land in Iowa sells
for 100000 or $4,000 an acre. Meth
er are we astounded when we learn
that it is possible to buy land at what
seems to be very high price and
make profit on it far greater than
was possible in the palmy days when
there was plenty of land for sale at
$1,000 an acre.
For instance A. d. Rose paid $4,000
an acre for a piece of land lying a
couple of miles east of Ogden, and last
week sold it for 100000 an acre.
A Fort Dodge real-estate agent
drove out into the country three or
four miles to look at some land that
he understood was for sale. He found
one tract that he, personally, sold four
years ago for $4,000 an acre, for
which last week $225.OO an acre was
asked with $4,000 offered.
The County Clerk at Webster City
paid $4,000 an acre for a quarter
section three years ago, and very re-
Gently sold it at $4,000 an acre, max
ing nice little profit of little better
than $1,000.
Near Reinbeck, in Grundy County,
Tom Copley has just bought a sixty
acre farm for home, paying 100000
an acre for it.
An Ida County farmer was recently
offered $4,000 an acre for his 40 acre
tract by an Illinois man. The offer
was refused and the owner was asked
to fix price, but refused to do so upon
the theory that the farm was worth as
much to him as anybody else would be
willing to pay for it.

Florence av., in city court
Rymer, 1t is said, led the girl to
believe that the necessary ceremonies
had been observed, trusting 10 her
youth and inexperience TO prevent her
from learning the true aspect of
things. He purchased a diamond ring
and presented it to her, and both went
TO local furniture store and out
fitted a small cottage. They had their
pictures taken and Rvner sent them
TO Europe TO his own people as pOr-
traits Of himself and wife
However, the girl could not tell
friendly neighbOrs how she became
married. Through the courts" she
would reply to inquiries.
Rymer, il is claimed by the pros
ecutor, had explained TO the girl that
he had signed his and her name at the
court house, and even the girls father
believed this, as they had been living
in Illinois, where il is not necessary
for the bride to accompany the groom
when the license is procured.
Rymer was arraigned in city court
Wednesday morning. He pleaded not
guilty and his case was continued
until Oct. 30. with bond at $500. An
effort to increase the bond was put
forward by the states attorney, who
claimed that a wealthy uncle of Ry-
mers had said that no matter how
much the bond was it would be put
uD and Rymer would be allowed to
forfeit the surety and escape to Eu-
rope

Damages by Carrie Smith,
Widow of Train Victim.

Steve Berta, who operates a saloon
at us w. Indiana av., is defendant
in a suit for $40, 900 damages filed in

Smith, widow of Lem" Smith, who
was killed by train in the Vandalia
railway yards while intoxicated, on
Sept. 21 The London and Lancashire
Guarantee and Accident Co, is also
made a defendant in the suit.
1t is charged by the widow that
Berta sold liquor to her husband while

ditiOn and thereby caused him TO lose

that he met his death. According to

saloon operated by Berta and pur-
chased two glasses of beer and one
half pint of whisky. After drinking

liquor was sold TO her husband, Berta
knew that he was intoxicated. Short
" after his second visit to the saloon
Smith went to the Nandalia railway
yards and there was struck by a train
and killed. 1t is alleged by the widow
that she had asked Berta to refuse
her husband liquor and that he had
promised to do so in the future. His
failure to keep this promise is given
as being responsible for the death of
Smith.
The London & Lancashire Guar
antee and Accident Co. is security on
the bond filed by Berta when he Sc
cured his liquor license from the
county and therefore is also made re-
sponsible for the death of Smith. 1t
