the Country and One Good Crop Puts
You on Easy Street

Unimproved and partly improved farms, all
sizes, which can be bought at prices ranging
from $500 to $4,000 per acre. according to
improvements. Some very fine farms at about
$4,000 per acre. We are able to quote such
prices because you deal direct with the owner
and don't have to pay commission to two or
three agents. The owner pays us reasonable
commission, giving the purchaser the benefit of
the low price.
We call your attention to the fact that this
part of the country has been settled for several
years, and all the land is first class farm land,
all in cultivation, raising good crops. 1t is not
like buying elsewhere, where it is still prairie,
and where you can get no returns on your in
vestment, but have to pay out money every
year in order to own it.
AS soon as you purchase land here you can
move right ON to it and start making money, or
you can by furnishing seed, rent it for half the
crop; and we make the prophecy that the crops
you raise will pay for the land in less than 10
years, and in the meantime the land will double
in value This is conservative statement, as
we haveseena goodmany right there who have
done it in one or two years, but we don't want
to exaggerate anything or disappoint anyone.

An Opportunity of a
Lifetime

Good lands are the surest and best invest
ment of today, and the increase in value alone
will make you rich in a few years. We don't
believe in wildcat speculations, and have made
it a purpose to discourage same, as you all
know but we do believe it is the duty of every
man to provide a home for himself and family
and you can do it here better than any other
place we know Of
Some people will say it is too far north and
they can't raise corn, etc. Look at Denmark,
for instance, one of the richest agricultural
states in the world. 1t is still farther north,
and they don't raise one ear of corn, but still
make great success of farming. Don't stand
in your own light. Your own eyes should be
the judge, and the wonderful crops and country
as you will see, WILL CONVINCE YOU THE
SAME AS 1T DID US.
The strongest appeal we can make to you is
to ask you to come and see for yourself what
others have done AND ARE NOW DONG.

RadiWm Economy.

The use of radium on a large scale
therapeutically involves danger OF
loss, and this factor has been q big
one in inducing hospitals and clinics
with a gram or more Of the element in
use to utilize radium emanation in
stead Of applicators containing the
radium itself. There has been in
stalled In a Pittsburgh laboratory an
elegant and useful apparatus for the
collection, publication and tubing Of
radium emanation obtained from
salt of the element. 1t differs from
earlier apparatus in that liquid air Is
replaced by chemical means Of puri-
flying the emanations, which are felt to
be mere reliabIe.-Scient!fic American.

Farmers in Yaqli Valley
Live in Forts and Always
Prepared to Fight Indians

Some day it may occur to somebody
to write book with the title "Sur-
prises of Mexico" for it BECOMES more
and more evident that the land is full
of>odd places and people. Not tar over
the border, for example, lies a region
where life is still lived by white set
tiers under pioneer conditions, and,
as says recent traveller, the pioneer
farmers in the Yaqui valley have to
live in forts and carry guns for pro-
lection against the Indians" Here are
still wild American aborigines, horde
Of about 10000 Of them, classified as
the Tarahumare Indians, who live In
caves, worship woodpeckers, and are
for the most part doubtless as igno-
rant Of the United States as If Colum-
bus had not sailed from Europe The
land itself is unquestlonably an asset
to the future of Mexico, once the pres
ent troubles of the nation are over.
but, except for the pioneer farmers
and the growth Of few mining towns,
the sland Of Nayarit" remains much
as it must have been when Cortes was
conquering another part Of the coun-
try. In it's promise Of agricultural
produce and mineral wealth it Is said
to be one Of the richest regions In the
world, but so far 'its only roads are
the winding cow-trails made by cattle
on their way to water holes. Not a
single railway crosses it from east to
west; and one, line only splits it from
Nogales to Mazatlan. Vast areas OF
the interior are practically uninhab-
tied except for lonely huts here and
there in cenons or near water holes"
And the United States is only days
ride away across the Texas border.

MORGAN NOT ALWAYS HARD
Great Finaneier Proved He Had Kindly
Heart as We'll as a Keen
Business Mind.

There is no better test Of a mans
bigness than his way Of handling sub
ordinates who make mistakes.
- J. Pierpont Morgan, the elder, had
clerk who, living beyond his means,
sought to make up the balance through
speculation; and, having failed, helped
himself to the firms money.
The culprit was called into Mr.. Nor
gan's private office.
He expected arrest. Instead he was
told to 60 home and tell his wife all
about it. "And tomorrow morning."
said MIR. Morgan, "see me again"
The clerk obeyed, and Mr.. Morgan,
to the young fellows amazement'
handed him in bills the full amount OF
his peculation - S5.400 with: PUT
that back where you took the other
from. It is loan from me, and e2-
pect YOU to return it as soon as you
can. None of the other clerks know
anything about it. Let me see II you
can't be man."
After many months the youngster
restored to Mr.. Morgan the last dollar
Of the debt.

Adornment of Rooms IN
Home Requires Careful
\ Study of Color Scheme

Rooms have to be studied, Ike peo-
Die, for their adornment. Their height,
their width and their relation to the
sun must be considered. They also
have to be treated in relation to those
who live in them.
People are playing with colors now:
Some tints, like amber and yellow, are
very difficult. You have to lead up to
them, and very often before the
scheme is complete the designer
throws it up in despair.
Brown is the most difficult Of all.
OF every hundred people who think
they want brown, and come to the
great furnishing houses with their col
or palettes full Of every tone, ninety
five resign themselves to another color.
Greens are. the easiest colors to live
with, and joyous jade greens, some
shot with blue, others with yellow, are
now to be found in the most dignifed
rooms. Greens rest tired eyes in way
that captious blues can never do.

Famous Art Collection.

The unique collection Of Chinese
works of art made by the late Ii Hung
Chang, one-time viceroy of China,
which for years collectors tried vainly
to acquire, has finally been bought by
a Swedish syndicate. The purchase
price is understood to have been more
than a million krone (nominally about
s2S0,OOO), but the intrinsic value OF
the collection Is incalculable.
Ii Hung Chang died in 1901. He
had a collection Of works OF art larg-
er than anything Of Its kind In the
empire. 1t included numerous old
paintings, bronzes Of great worth and
ancient ceramics. The bronzes date
from q time before Christ, and the
paintings we're done from the tenth
to the twelfth centuries.

One Car to ~ Persons.

There is a motor vehicle in the
United States for every "a persons;
in Canada the proportion Is probably
one to each 50; in England, one to
200; In Denmark, one to 900, and
in France, Belgium, Holland, Switzer-
land and Germany about one to every
400, says the Compressed Air Maga-
zine, New York. In 1917 it was esti-
mated that Italy had one car. to each
1000 Of population; Portugal to each
1890, Spain to each 1900. Austria
Hungary, to each 2,e50, and Russia
to each 5000. In Australia there was
one for each 40 Of population, and
In South America, as whole, one for
each 1,430.
Many a minor city in the United
States has more cars than the whole
Of China or Japan.

Boom In Lobsters.

Very extensive lobster catches are
reported off the eastern coast Of Can
ada. Recently the boats were taking
these faster than the factories could
pack them. The catch was divided
over the various canning factories. One
boat, belonging to a well-known fleet,
took as many as 400 fish. A resident
Of Escuminac reports that he put
1900 live Holsters, which he was un-
able to pack at the time, into boat
which he had transformed into cage,
and sunk it In order to keep the fish
alive until such time as he could use
them.

Not Many Claiming to Be Over One
Hundred Years Of Ago Can
Prove Il

Sea serpents being out Of date, and
wild men" somewhat exhausted OF
interest, there comes the recent story
Of a Kentucky man who celebrated the
131st anniversary Of his birth by taking
his first motor car ride.
When a report of this sort is in
vestigated 1t usually Is found to lack
proof.
Some years ago, at a meeting Of the
Actuarial Society Of America, its
president, John K. Gore, said: 1.-The
well-known cases Of individuals COM
monty believed to have lived century
and a quarter and even much longer
have not in any instance been veri.
fed"
There is usually temptation to exag-
gerate the age Of extremely old per
sons; often they do it themselves. Not
very long ago a man in England, inter
ested in the study Of human longevity,
offered $4,000 to any man or woman
living at the time who could prove
that he or she was 100 years old or
more. There were hundreds Of claim
ants, but in no case was irrefragable
proof submitted.
In point of longevity, women are far
ahead of men, generally speaking:
They are more resistant to diseases
and they live longer. And yet women
are called the weaker sex" So they
are, muscularly, but it Is manifest that
they are the stronger sex constitution
ally. They possess what biologists
term greater "viability"-a superior
ability to survive.
