Beth Of these xentlemsn have had
experience in handling tours OF this
kind; they have personal knowledge
of the conditions in the sections to
be visited. and they have the hearty
support OF the state and local organ
1zations of the states to be visited In
making the arrangements TO have
this one OF tho best trips OF its kind
ever conducted. No individual could
possibly make arrangements to get as
much for his money as will be gotten
by the members of this party. j know
OF no investment of the cost OF this
trip, to man who wants TO be a suo-
cess in any farm undertaking and is
willing to learn by the experience OF
other successful men who have en-
gagged in various lines of agricultural
enterprises.
Many of the young men on this
trip will receive an inspiration that
will be of lifelong benefit to them.
Some OF the grown'ups Will feel like
making a new start In their farm en-
terprises on. better basis. and every
body will be beneAtted by the re

why worry with train schedules,
or finding out the best places to go,

best fellows that could be selected; a
group that is going to be big factor
in making the future agriculture OF

II understand from Mr.. Harris that
ne lacks few parties having enough
TO secure special train for the
crowd. II this number is secured 1t
will contribute greatly to the comfort
OF the emmbers of the party and to
the general success OF the trip. For |
this reason 7 am taking the liberty OF
urging any Of my friends who may |
be interested, to communicate with
Mr.. Harris.
Il have conducted several tours
similar to the one here referred to
and do not know of single party
that has taken trip with me that,
has not been intensely pleased with
the results. and have the statement
in writing from many of them that it
was the best investment Of time and
money that they had ever made"

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
50 many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
hat they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer Il Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
ample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
