tons to buy land, neither will you be
asked to buy lands.
Why are we going to take this trip
ourselves? Because we have been
requested to do so by the A. j. Mccall
Land Co., who represent these lands
to be as above stated, and whom we
have every confidence in as men that
are reliable in every sense of the
word. And further we have made
careful inquiry from parties that have
been there and seen. and also by many
men that have bought and own land
in this section of the state, and who
tell us that they are just as repre-
sented by the company or better
And further than that we have a
brother who has lived there for the
past eight years. And as this COM
pany is very anxious that we should
represent them in the sale of their
irrigated farms, as an inducement
they have made us this special rate on
August 7th, including as many of
our friends as care to go and investi-
gate their proposition for themselves.
And this is just exactly what l am
going to do before l decide to repre-
sent them in the sale of their lands.
Don't say that you can't go. There
are several already who have prom
Used to go with us, and we want you
to go, too. Take your wife and the
whole family. This special rate on
this date applies to all remember.
And, believe me. we won't be alone
nor lonesome if you join this bunch.
And in conclusion l want to say
that the company has sent me sup
ply of booklets showing the ad-
vantages of this country, and l want
you to get one while they last, wheth-
err you go now or not as they make
this proposition to me in writing,
That after you read this literature,
that if you find that they have mis-
represented their lands or country in
any way that the president of the
company will be on the grounds to re-
fund the small sum of $3.50 which
you have paid them. Fair enough,
Ell? Cheaper than you can live at
home this hot weather
Don't forget the date, August 7th,
1917. Leave Audubon at $3.50 p. m.

LIGHTNING STRIKES RESIDENCE

The residence of Max Ehlert at
Ross was struck by lightning during
the storm late Tuesday afternoon
The residence is located directly
across the street from his store and
following the hard crash, the build
ing was discovered on fire. Prompt
work by those nearby soon had the
flame extinguished and but little
damage was done. The shock was
felt in the store and others in the
street were slightly stunned for
moment. Mr.. Ehlert considers him
self lucky that the blaze was discov-
cred before it had gotten such head
way that it could not be put out.

.Belgians Coming Back

Ten divisions strong, the Belgian army
is ready to take it's part in the often
sive in Flanders whenever the word is
given, The Belgian minister of war told
the Associated Press that the Belgian
army was composed of lit, 900 men at the
beginning Of the war, increased by, TO-
900 volunteers in August, 1914, and re-
duced to 60 900 men after the battle Of
the User. Since then by enrolment Of
Belgian refugees and the enlistment of
volunteers who have braved the live wire
barriers on the Holland frontier it has
been brought up to ten divisions of well
trained troops.
"If our army has not undertaken oper
atoms of a wider scope up to this time, "
said. the minister "it is because it does
not devolve on it to decide the moment
when these operation; should begin. The
army is only a part of the combined al
lied forces acting in unison and in ac-
cordance with carefully developed plans.
The army has valiantly filled the role
more ungrateful than glorious, that has
been assigned to it. 1t has just pr owed
by it's brilliant particpation in the last
offensive in Flanders that it is ready to
attack with fervor and awaits impatient
ly the hour"
