MANY LAND SALES
AROUND EXELAND
Great Influx of New Settlers as Fertil-
ity of This Section Becomes
Known

We give below the land sales made
by one firm at Exeland in the last 30
days There are several more land
firms selling land rapidly at Exeland,
but the News Budget man did not see
the managers, as they were out with
prospective settlers. Four farms were
sold Wednesday afternoon by one
firm. while the reporter was there.
The success of these men in selling
their land is in their system of clear
ing land, building houses and barns
for the buyer. To start settler in the
brush without shelter for man or
beast, is thing of the past and no
settler should move onto a piece Of
land until he has small set of build
ings to move into. Following are the
men who recently bought land for
homes near Ojibwa, northeast of Exc

Publicity is Advised as Remedy to Rid
Country of sect Rich Quick Schemes

New York. Dec. 5-PubIicity rather
than conviction is the best means of
curbing the thousands of ''get-rich-
quick schemes that have sprung up
in the orgy of post war speculation,
according to Huston Thompson, fed
eral trade commissioner, who adj
dressed the Association of Life In
surance Presidents at today's session
of it's annual convention.
Conviction rarely helps" he de-
clared; publicity is the effective rem
edy. From six years experience in the
department of justice and less than
a year in the federal trade commission
do not hesitate to affirm that the
statute which, through publicity, seeks
to prevent is far more efficacious than
the one which is parental and punt
tive"
Mr.. Thompson closed by giving the
following advice to prospective in

Beware of the glib salesman"
Beware of the prospectus that
promises much
Remember the investment will
