judge for yourself Of the taxes 10
along the Red river. where the land is
exactly the same on both sides. The
taxes on my brothers farm, which is
half section located near the Red
river, north Of Breckenridge, were
raised from $50 to 500, raise of 81
on a half section. Just across the
river, in North Dakota, land of the
same value, the taxes were raised
from $138 to 1858 on single quar-
ter of land. This is land Of equal
value, but look at the difference in
taxation! Land owners are paying
cash rent every year on their own
land.
North Dakota property is not chang
ing hands, and during the big land
boom in the Red River valley last
fall thousands of acres in Minnesota
changed hands, but North Dakota laid
very still. The only land selling was
to people from the central or eastern
states, who knew nothing of the
league.
do not blame anyone for believing
in the league so long as he does not
know what it really is, but before he
votes to bring, this curse on Mime
sofa he should settle for while in
North Dakota. The nonpartisans lost
many important state offices this cleo
ton and will probably lose out en-
tirely two years from now, but the
efforts Of the league will be felt iii

 Of, all the diseases that afflict the human body, there are none so nerve-racking and destructive as constitutional blood diseases. Per sons infected with this disease soon become old and feeble. Life is a long drawn out and miserable exist ence.
 Many have been relieved of their anxiety and suffering and are now enjoying good health from the use of Prescription C-2223. This great blood purifier was originated by q doctor who made study of such discaes. He knew by experience just what was needed to help na- ture throw off the poisons that were undermining and endangering the health of his patients. So great has been the success of this doctor ; treatment, known as C-2223, that the present manufacturers guarantee two Sl.6O bottles to give satisfactory re lief, sufficient to justify a contin- nance of the treatment, if pcrma nent benefit has not been received.
 You can buy Prescription C-2223 under this guarantee from any drug store at $1.50 a bottle, or the 2223 Laboratory, 1a9 Gayosa Ave, Mem phis. Tenn, will send postpaid on rcccipt of $l.5O.
