SAYS GREAT THINGS IN
FARMING IN NAVAJO co.
(From the Holbrook Tribune)

x 4 FTER spending several days
n in this section of the state,
4 \ extending from Holbrook to
twenty miles beyond Taylor up in the
pines to the ranch of Jesse Pearce, l
have come to the conclusion that
Navajo county possesses wonderful
opportunities for farming.'
Thus spoke S. A. Meyer, of Chaud
Ter. Ariz., editor and publisher of the
Chandler Arizonan, who, with Mrs.
Meyer, is spending his vacation in
''Seeing Arizona first.
q have, of course, listened to the
stories of oil and the possibilities that
will result when the first well IS
brought in !; but while waiting for
this to happen, why not not take ad
vantage of the things that wait for
YOU? [ went over thousands of acres
of rich mountain soil from four TO
eighteen feet deep that will raise any
thing from wheat to artichokes. In
fact, I saw all kinds of grains and
other products growing without irri-
gation-corn waist high 4; wheat with
kernels as large as were ever grown
in Minnesota beans bigger than the
California kind, and, in fact, all vege-
tati.n on a par with that of the best.
"The people of this section are
missing the chance Of a lifetime TO
make fortunes. You have it at your
front and back doors, but do not
seem to grasp the fact that you can
take it. Down in the Salt River Val
lev the same situation existed up to
two and five years ago. There oac
could buy land then under the ROose-
velt dam for $4,000 an acre, while
desert land not under the reservoir
could be purchased for as low as
5000 for a 160-acre REIMBURSEMENT.
Today the first named land costs you
from $500 to 5000 an acre, while the
desert stuff is all selling for from
$500 to $4,000 an acre. OF course
cotton did this.
s'But suppose forty or fifty farmers
up here would put in wheat, say 100
to 1000 acres each. This 81 and s.
land would soon start to iamp in
value. One wheat crop would net at
least $4,000 an acre, and it stands to
reason that your land would at least
be worth as much as the crop you
can produce from it in one year
And soon more people would be com
ing in, and with more people land
values would climb, your towns would
grow and you would be gaining in
wealth and happiness3 This would
not hinder the cattle or sheep bust
ness, nor would it interfere with oil
just add another enterprise to north
ern Arizona.
cit seems to me that the business
men of Holbrook, Snowflake and Tay
lor should get together, organize 9

some of the finest country GA God 'S

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, ChiIls, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
of this place, writes: 81 am user
of Thedfords Black-Draught; in fact,
it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when
was child. When any of US child
ren complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for it certainly ha1 saved us lots or
doctor bills. Just dose of Black
Draught when not SO well saves
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys is proof of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness. constipation, indigestion, ETC.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black -Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels OF
1mnurities. Try 1t. Insist on ThNd-

ADJUSTMENTS

Al G. Field, whose greater MINISTRIES,
1920 edition, viii delight the Memphis
people Thursday, Friday, Saturday ana
Sunday. has more than one interesting
experience TO relate as the result Of
his third OF a century of minstrelsy.
He tells one with particular relish.
In n certain Southers city a friend
invited Mr.. Field to visit his home
during his stay. He was to be a spe-
ciai dinner guest one evening. The
invitation was sent serveral days prior
TO Mr.. Fields arrival. and Mandy, the
family cook, was appraised of the I'M
pending event with Instructions to be
at her best in q culinary way.
Mandy was much pleased and made
much OF the oft-reiterated statement
that she knew Mr.. Field and had seen
him ever so many times.
The day of the visit arrived and there
was much hustle and hustle in Mandys
kitchen. The family arrived home rather
late, escortug Mr. Field The mistress
of the house repaired to the kitchen
and inquired how soon dinner would
be ready.
"Dinnah's all ready. Mis- Mary" said
Mandy, with shining eyes.
That's good" said the hostess. 'Mr.
Field Is In a hurry to get back TO the
theater this evening and dinner must
be served at once"
"Yassum," replied Mandy. "Mr, Field
can eat right now. rs done set table
fob him in de kitchen"
II dawned upon the astounding host
ess at this iuscture that Mandy had
never seen the visitor save in his burnt
cork on the stage.
