Gilbert A. Brattlund of Outlook,
who has had years of successful ex-
perience in selling farm land through
out the west and has made many OF
the biggest deals ever put across in
this section of the country, is now
promoting new cooperative real es-
tate selling scheme, which if success
full, will result in bringing many new
settlers to this region and assist
those who want to sell to place theiZ
farmer before the buyers at ver2
small expense to the seller.
The scheme is to get as many list
ings as possible.
The seller listing signs a contract
to pay a commission of 500 provid-
ing a sale is made.
At the time of making the contract,
a fee of IS is paid, which fee is used
along with the other fees paid in ad-
vertising the farm listed, examining
the farm and getting out literature
calculated to sell the farm and plac
ing the literature in the hands OF
prospective buyers.
It would cost one farmer hundreds
of dollars to do this besides much
time and worry, but by many going
together, this can be done for six
dollars.
In many sections of the County
there seems to be a decided LACK of
means to get the lands on the market
to bona fide buyers in proper form to
reach a large territory in the States
and to do so at cost that is small.
Talking with Mr.. G. A. Brattland
of Outlook, who has had considerable
success in the sale of lands during
the bad years, he stated that il
enough sellers would take it up VITA
him, that he would place the lands
out amongst buyers in such shape
that reasonable assurity would be had
that the same would be sold. Of
course these parties must really be
wanting to sell and give fair sale
price so that the buyers can be as
sured of that.
1t stands to reason that an agent
with 10 to Is istings cannot afford
to go to the expense of reaching out
into all land buying districts in the
United States for that expense would
put him individually into bankruptcy
Consequently listing generally Civ
en-, rests in desk till some chance
buyers comes along and then the price
asked may be such that he will not
buy.
Mr.. Brattland figures on a consoli-
dated listing plan for the whole coun-

You are more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.

restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying
and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its Strengthening, invigOrating effect, see
how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
GROVES TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is not patent medicine, it is simply
IRON and QUTSINE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The

The Country Sunday School

If the Sunday school has
been allowed to die down, there
should be no further delay in re.
organizing it.
In our concern for the mental
development Of our children. we
should not forget the need Tor
moral training also. In the
writer's neighborhood a boy who
was to have graduated at the
high school last month "a bright
boy in his books spent the COM
'mencement period in Jail, having
entered a store at night and kill
led its owaer only few weeks
before. Proper moral training
had not accompanied his mental
training.
Every father or mother should
ask himself or herself if the
Sunday school is not needed to
supplement the training given in
home and public school. And
even il a boy learned nothing
useful in Sunday school, it might
still be worth while for him 10
go simply because the Sunday
school offers an opportunity for
him to meet other boys and girls
in the right environment and I'M
der wholesome influences, The
average boy who has nothing to
do from sunup to shutdown
every Sunday is pretty likely to
get into mischief.
The moral and spiritual bene-
fits of the country Sunday school,
therefore, should alone insure
efforts to utilize and strengthen
it, while the social and intelIec-
tual advantages which it offers
may also not improperly con-
sidered. The Bible is one of the
worlds supremespieces of litera-
ture, and to study it Sunday aft
er Sunday will contribute not
little to anybody's mental growth
and equipment. The Progress
sive Farmer.
