KEEP YOUR EYE
ON FARM LANDS

I understand that c. E. Sprouse
has recently sold several farms
Well YOU know that Sprouse has
been saying for some time that
farm land Is too cheap and would
sell, and one, by one, the real
bargains would be picked up! So
guess he must be right from the
number of farms he has sold. and
/ suppose also he must get hold
of some exceptionally good places
for sale which makes it much
easier for the buyer to find what
he wants!
For example: 80 acres in alfalfa
near McCabe, not a perfect 80
but a good piece of land for
S6250
80 in alfalfa near Sandia
$6500
80 in vegetables, and a peach
at $4,000
100 in alfalfa for six years
100 in alfalfa for only $13,500.
This will soon go!

there Is a remarkable uniformity of
individual. Australia, hot or cold,
has developed a type which be-
lieve can be fairly described as virile
and self-reliant, not concerned very
much with the Old World formalities
of life, friendly and rather go-as-
you-pleaSe, giving and insisting on
getting a fair deal, not a great re-
specter of persons for their rank or
possessions-and finally, likely to
get extremely irritable if some one
tries to put something over on him.
Average Person Decent.
I think those are our charac-
teristics. We are not angels, heaven
knows. Eight years in active poll
tics teaches you that-but it also
teaches you that the average Aus
tralian is decent person and I
mean that for high praise.
Well. you may or may not have
gathered from this that I am proud
of being an Australian. My family
and my wife's family have been
settled there for we'll over hum
dred years-and hundred years is
much bigger slice of our history
than it is of yours.
AS I have said, believe that you
Americans are very much the same
sort Of people as we are. I have
spent good deal of time in the
States in the past and I've never
had any difficulty in feeling at home
amongst you right from the start
and can assure you that I'm look
ing forward very much to my work
amongst you in the next few years.
The work can be very simply
described-that of trying to interpret
our Australian point of view to you
and your point of view to my own
people back in Australia.

Australia S Minister
Begins Stay Here
-
By House.Huntinq
Mrs. Casey Expected
To Arrive Next Month
With Picture Collection

Mat. Richard Gardiner Casey,
Australia's first Minister to the
United States, began house e-hunting
In Washington today.
He hopes to rent a house and be
well on the way to having home
established by the time his wife
arrives next month with their large
collection of Australian pictures,
hand-painted linens and other ma
terials with which she plans to
, decorate their home in order to
show Westinghouse something of
Australian culture.
Maj. Casey, who came to Cali
fornia by ship and few across the
Continent to assume his new post,
arrived at Washington Airport at
11:30 o'clock last night, six hours
late. The British Ambassador, Lord
Lothian, State Department officials
and most of the others who had
gathered to meet him had gone
home long before he arrived.
Il think I have been over every
State but Florida" the new Min
lister, remarked laughingly as he
alighted from the plane which had
flown as far south as Atlanta in
order to avoid storms raging east
OF the Mississippi.
May Build Legation Later.
Stopping temporarily at the Shore
ham Hotel, he was busy today look
Ing over the Australian chancellory
Offices established at 1911 Twenty
fourth street NV.
At a press conference this morn
Ing, Mr.. Casey said he planned to
look at three or four houses during
the afternoon with view to renting
one to use as a legation for a year
. or so, until I'VE can get our own"
He said he expected his government
would build leagtion here.
The new Minister said he came
to his post here without any specific
instructions except to seek to i'm
prove relations between Australia
and the United States.
He said few people outside of
Australia realized the extent of in
tensive industrialization that had
taken place there during the last
generation. The dominion is dom
mated now, he added, by its war ef-
fort.
Both Maj. Casey and his wife are
flying enthusiasts. He plans to buy
an airplane here to use for personal
flights over the country.
The new Minister said he had
no immediate plans for formally as
suming his official duties here,
which will be delayed until he can
present his credentials to President
Roosevelt, now cruising at sea.
He was met at the airport last
night by Keith Officer, who has
been serving as counselor in charge
OF Australian affairs at the British
Embassy, and now becomes coun-
selor Of the Australian Legation. He
was accompanied by Peter Heydon,
who will be second secretary of the
legation.
Veteran of War.
Maj Casey, 40, is veteran of the
World War, who has won distinction
since then in Dominion political
and diplomatic affairs. He rose
from the rank of lieutenant to bri-
gade major during the World War,
when he was awarded the Distin-
guished Service Order and the Mill
tary Cross.
Following the war, he represented
the Australian government for seven
years in London as political liaison
officer to the foreign Office. He then
returned to Australia and began a
political career, serving in the Do
minion House of Representatives, as
treasurer and last year as minister
OF supply and development.

BY RICHARD GARDINER CASEY,

You ask me what sort of people
we Australians are. Well, suppose
that should be an easier question for
me to answer at this stage than
being asked what my impressions
of America are.
I think we are not unlike you in
type. A good stock, climate and
surroundings, and the sort of country
you live and work in, contrive to
produce certain outlook.
Australia is about the same size
as the United States, but, of course,
not nearly so highly developed. You
have-what is it'll suppose 130,-
600, 900 people. We have 1000, 900,
so there's much more room between
one man and the next in our country
than in yours.
A Variety Of Country.
And Australia has just about as
great variety of types of country as
the United States. Our rainfall va
ries from next to nothing to over
100 inches a year. We have vast
areas of prairie and rugged noun
tain districts. We have areas that
are snow covered for many months
of the year, and we have lush, trop-
ical country. We even have great
desert areas-although we don't
talk about them very much. We have
thousands of crocodiles in our north
ern rivers and whales in our south
ern areas.
But the curious thing is that over
all this wide variety of conditions

EIks Meet High School as Bears Pay Last Game
 Before Vikings

Moose are pitted against Hen ning's Clothiers in the opening game of tonight's doubleheader in the High School gymnasium and the High School five will meet the Elks in the nightcap.
 Moose have smoothed out con- siderably, and should give Hen nings a good run. It isn't in the cards for Henning forward Saxton to hit the hoop for 25 points again as he did against the Hoonah Pi- rates night before last, and on the other hand, it is about time the Moose squad found themselves.
 They have worked the same com bination more or less in the past three games, and if Watson and Wilson get hot" the Henning squad is going to have to push it. self to stay in the lead.
 The way the High School has been going in recent games (un- defeated since Hector and the pups) the Elks should get showed under The Elks are without Rit- ter, who went cut to the Aieutians for Bureau of Fisheries job and Jimmy Orme, veteran guard, can't burn up the court the way he used to.
 
 Elks have had to fight defensive game nearly all season with Dutch Behrends, Orme and Dale Drll- liner backing up the team-but three good guards can make it tough for any team, so you can expect almos5 anything cut of that curtain-dropper tonight.
