In less than three years there
has been more than 1900 farm

ia. The opportunities are rapid

in the Kensal Territory, | do
not know of single dissatis-
fled man among them.
Taking ten years average, N.
D. has produced more dollars
per acre than lands in states
selling for four times the price
of North Dakota lands.
Few people realize what N. D.
has done. In 1915 n. D. pro-
duced $226,OOO,OOO worth of
food products not counting live
stock and their products, which

has stopped the rise in land val
ues for the moment: Therefore
this is an opportune time to buy
land in a state where lands will
double in value within seven
years or less.
There is plenty of money in
circulation. Banks show large
deposits, and they offer loans on
real estate at very low rate of
interest, should any one care to
avail themselves of this privi-
lege.
! The business men of Kensal
are the members of the Com
mercial Club. They have done
all within their power to help
you locate where you will have
all the modern conveniences of
rural life, at the lowest price
possible, and a price which will
never again be available to you.
They want you to locate near
Kensal because they want you
as their patrons and neighbors
in after years. Then it is just
selfshness on our part to see to
it that you get the best at the
lowest price.
Who today are the aristocrats
Of Iowa? Are they not the men
who bought land when it was
cheap as it is in N. D. now?
We leave it to your good judg-
ment. It will not come to you
without an effort on your part
A great opportunity, a home
among good people and good sur
roundings is within your reach
But you must reach. Write me

TOIMEN WHO kNOWTHE
FARMING BUSINESS

The Kensal Commercial Club
of Kensal, N. D., has been equal
to the emergency. This organi-
zation has adopted and is carry
ing out a successful plan which
is eliminating the we'll known
'1and shark" who has hitherto
hindered in a large measure that
which otherwise would have
been a rapid but normal devel-
opment of the large number of
acres of fine lands adjacent to
the Village of Kensal.
This plan was to secure lists
of all lands for sale near Kensal
and to offer such lands for sale
to the settlers at the very low
est available price.
The Club realizes that the
country's highest measure of
development will come through
procuring larger number of
practical farmers, and is lend
ing settlers helping hand to
that end.
The Kensal Commercial Club
does not own an acre of land. 1t
does not collect large commits
sions on land sales. Then why
are we so interested in you? SIM
ply this: Every time we get a
practical farmer to buy a home
in our territory we have added
a valuable asset to our commun-
ity, and by continuing to place
them here, the financial and in
dustrial success of our country
is assured.
Now "listen' while l tel you
something about N. D. territory.
First get it out of your head that
people Of this state suffer from
cold weather. They don't!
The mean average tempera-
ture for the state of North Da-
kota, Minnesota, Michigan and
New York are about the same.
The average for Bismarck, the
capitol of the state for forty
years is 40.4 degrees above; for
Minneapolis, ALT degrees. Did
you know that?
Again the dry atmosphere con-
dition in North Dakota during
the winter months is such that
neither man nor beast is incon-
venienced as they are in Iowa.
No agricultural state ever at
tanned the highest measure of
development until the all-around
practical diversifying farmer
took the place of the original
settler.
Did you know that there is
not a single township in the
state of North Dakota in which
there cannot be found farmers
who have made from Twenty to
One Hundred Thousand Dollars
at farming within the past fif-
teen years? This is fact and

is rapidly becoming a leading
industry.
This was $3.50 for each acre
planted to crop, one-sixth of the
wheat, one-sixth of the barley
and one-half of the flax grown
in the United States. Besides,
N. D. has gone farther in stock
raising in less time than any 9th
er grain State ever did. In less
than six years, dairy COWS in the
state increased 250 per cent and
hogs 1000 per cent. N. D. has
more coal undertaking it's sur
face than any other state. It
has 116 Commercial Coal Mines
in operation, besides numerous
farmers mines.
The 1916 wheat crop is short,
but in the face of this the prac-
tical farmers are prepared for
