a CCORDING to the Commissioner of In
IN ternal Revenue y. S. Treasury Department,
the above figure represents the sum of money
paid in cash to the United States Government in
internal revenue receipts from 1862 to 1916, in
elusive by the manufacturers of malt and distilled
liquors.
It is an uncomprehendab1e sum. It is beyond
the grasp of the human mind
But every penny was paid in advance of the
sale of the manufactured goods and the revenue
went toward the support of the various depart
ments of the Federal Government. y.
Surely no person can deny that this industry
has paid literally in dividends to its govern
mental partner ea u
But large as this sum u.s. it is small compared
with the amount that all branches of the industry
have paid during these same years in local and
State license fees. g
It is impossible to secure the exact figures of
this sum as is the with the u. S. revenue
receipts, but authorities estimate that the amount
is double and perhaps three times great. 4
It yields to each licensing community large
part of it's total revenues and if the could be
ascertaned it would be staggering. &
In addition to these the local and state
taxes. Brewing, distilling plants and property
used in the retail sale of the products are all
assessed high, and much of this value, and con-
sequently much of the tax accrung, would be
lost in case of the destruction of the industry :

is only one of the many farmers
who have done as we'll or better,
and only on one crop. Many
other crops pay better than broom
corn. You can do the same, or
can rent the land for one-third of
crop. We can sell the same kind
of land as low as $3.50 per acre.
WHY GO TO CALIFORNIA?
Spend your winters in a better
and more healthful climate,
where, instead of being at a big
expense, you can make big prof
its. No difference how wealthy
the man, he likes to save and
make more money. We want to
show those who have been to Cali
fornia how this can be done and
with more real enjoyment.
We have California beat in ev-
cry way except it is older, has
been advertised and developed
more and has more tourists. What
would it amount to without the
tourists? We want you to see a
country of real merit, and see
how beautiful home can be
made in as little as two years.
time. The tide of the tourist is
sure to change. You will admit
ii when you see and compare.
Now is the time to get in and Sc
cure home. 1t will be the best
investment you ever made.
Remember the excursion date,
and let us know early if going.

yet speak of it as a "boom" be-
cause of so many going. The
fact is the boom has not start
ed yet, nor begun to start. The
one who tills the soil eventually
determines its value, not the land
man.
The land is very low i'm price,
considering what il will produce
and the interest it will pay on the
investment. Actually a better
bargain at $3.50 per acre than the
best Iowa land at $50 an acre.
II is sure to double and treble
in value above present prices
within a short tim: You will add
nit this when you see it and you
cannot believe about this wonder
land until you do see il.

We were the first firm in
western Iowa to start colonization
work in this valley. We have in
vestigated thoroughly, know of
the different propositions and
conditions there and can be of
much service to you if you care

whatever. We are i'm a position
to protect you, save you money,
make you money and we will treat
you fair and square. We want
only satisfied customers.
There will be a big colony of
western Iowa people living there
soon. We expect to live there too,
and he your friends and neigh

The cost of the trip is insig-
nificant. The same is true of the
land. Many often more than pay
for it with one years crops. The
local paper printed there, in their
issue of Nov. 10th, tells of Mr..
Porter whose first cutting of
broom corn paid Si52.69 per
acre; second cutting $4,000;
third cutting $li6.33, total of
