Buy State Land

The state of New Mexico has
thirty-three sections of land To-
Gated about sixteen miles nor tn
of Clovis in what is known as
the wheat district. This land
which is now leased by cattle
men for grazing purposes can
be bought for a minimum price
of So. 90 per acre. The purchas-
er pays only ten per cent of the
purchase price down and has
thirty years to pay for the bal
ance at A per cent interest. It's
the best proposition in the coun-
try to get good land cheap on
easy payments. Some Clovis
real estate dealers have written
interested parties offering to
make out the application to pur-
chase this land and put it up to
the beginning of the publication
for $100. 90 for each application.
A. E. Curren. a land lawyer who
has had much experience in such
matters. will make out the appli-
cations and transact all the busi-
ness necessary at this end Of the
line for much less money. For
further particulars call on or
write him.
