east prevalent among horses. 1t does
not look as though 500, 600 would go

Brown Bros. have inaueurated a cam
paien for settlers that emphasizes the
confidence that bankers have in the .fu-
ture of this country. They have about
thirty-ive quarters of land in Perkins
county which they will sell to actual
settlers on the following basis. As q
requirement for getting Brown Bros.
terms the purchaser must move on to
the land. He must have five mich
cows and two mares. He must have
enough machinery to cultivate and care
for a crop of corn, alfalfa, millet or
other feed crop. On these conditions
the purchaser does not have to pay a
cent on the purchase price. At the end
of two years he makes a payment of

thereafter with interest at six per cent.
When 60 per cent of the principal has
been paid in this manner, Brown Bros.
give deed and take a mortgage for
the balance. adams County Record.
