Do You Want a Farm |?

There are now several hundred farms open to homestead entry on the Govern ment irrigation projects which the homeseeker would do we'll to investi- gate. In the arid region the Govern mennt has spent hundred million dollars in irrigation systems. More than 800, 900 acres are now receiving water from the Government ditches, and there are still several hundred choice farms awaiting the practical farmer
 These farms are free, but the law re- quires settlers to pay their share of ! building the irrigation system, the money to be placed again iD the re- clamation fund for the building of other irrigation works: and they must also pay their portion of the operation and maintenance cost A practical farmer with from 1,50O to 5000 should be able to acquire one of these farms and put it in successful cultiva- ! tion. Under the existing law settlers are allowed 20 years in which to pay for their water right, and no interest is required on deferred payments. The statistician of the U. 5. Reclamation Service, Washington, D. O., will give you details concerning methods of fil- ing, terms of payment, and location, climate, soil and other data in connec- tion with the various projects.
 The farms are located mainly in South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming anu Nevada. Rural telephones, centralized graded schools, good transportation facilities, and towns at short intervals, are some of the things that rob life on
 these new lands of many of the trials of pioneering.

CORNWALL

The Grange is to be commended for its arrangements for a sane celebration on Monday, though the weather pre- exercises at the hall, but in, the after noon the ball game was played for seven innings and won by West Corn wall, 12 runs tu Coruwall's :.
 The First Church Sunday school voted on Sunday to join in the summer Christmas Tree t. be held at South Ca naan two months hence.
 The Y. P. :. c. E. on last Thursday had a pleasant social to which the West Cornwall society was invited and the chapel was well filled by hosts and guests. Four new members were voted in Sunday evening.
 The town meeting on Saturday lasted about ten minutes, and voted without dissent, to rescind and annul the action by which the Mohawk Mountain roads were to be closed. There was a large attendance but the 67 who had voted for the closing were mostly absent. It
 is now being asked whether they were scared away by rumors of detectives or angrily absent because (as reported) ) they have not received the promised payments for their yellow ballots. And it has been also queried whether they are unpaid because the men who are rascally enough to bribe are not above breaking their burga .ns or dare not pay for fear of being caught. Meantime there is laughter among those who were determined to show that as whole Corn wall voters were not for sale.

Judging from the large crowds
which are greeting every performance
Of the Peerless Maids" at the Pal
motto theatre this week. together with
the round upon round of applause
which follows every stunt" OF This
splendid tab show, Pinkston's show
troupe has certainly made good his
premise
The show yesterday was full Of
good comedy. singing and dancing.
and the costumes are clean and pret-
,y. The girls are pretty and viva
aious. This show is doing the bust
ness this week, which reminds us Of
IA story which Mr.. Pinkston tells on
himself Tho story goes that one
night last week two travelling men
came in. bought tickets and asked II
he was giving u tab show for tec
cents. Pinkston replied no" only an
imitation" The men walked on in the
theatre. saw the show. and as they
came out of the theatre, remarked to
Pinkston: when you made that re-
mark to us about your show we
thought YOU We're nutty. but now we
know that you were only telling us
the truth about your show. and right
here we want to tell you that You are
the first and only man who has ever
told us that his show was rotten,
and every time we come to Anderson,
We are going to come to your show
Pinkston told them that he wished
they were going to be here this week,
that this show was as good as the one
he had last week was bum. Pinkston
says he will tell anybody that asks
him about bis show the absolute
truth. So, il in doubt ask Pinkston.

wholesale Shoe Shining.

When Leo Geisberg. OF Geisberg
Bros. Shoe Co.. had announcements
made at Clemson College several days
ago that during the encampment of
the cadet corps in Anderson the BOYS
could get their shoes shined free at
his place, that the cadets would take
this place by storm or that they would
come in such numbers as would
cause him 10 have TO keep open shop
for n good portion ot the night.
But such has been his experience.
and especially on Monday afternoon
and evening. The cadets reached An
dcrson at 4:30 O'Clock and in about an
hour and a half many Of them were
down town. Their shoes having be-
come dusty on the hike from Clemson
College TO Sandy Springs, where they
Cntrained. and the cadets shoes were
really in need of shining.
Scores of them sought out Gcisbcrg
Bios place by the time they arrived
on the square. Messrs Geisberg had
fpared for their coming. Until late
in the night the shine boys at this
popular store were kept busy shining
shCg.;.
In that short time, however, Mr.
Gcisbcrg was more than paid for his
trouble. for half dozen or more
cadets purchased shoes on Monday
evening. The boys appear to have the
coin and are not backward about
turning ii loose, and business houses
| Of Anderson are reaping golden
harvest. as 1t were, on account of the
cadets being here.
