officials believe that if the English

to buy abroad when necessary to

result in a substantial lowering of

FLORIDA FARMS
That Produce Twenty Profitable Crops
There are few parts of the world which offer the agricultural
opportunities that we are offering on our ARTESIAN FARMS,
situated in Clay County, Florida. Of all Florida this is the locality
which will increase in value the quickest. Here is a place to come
with your family and establish a home, and if you will put forth
the same effort that you are now doing where you are located, you
can quickly grow wealthy for you can select one of twenty or mora
profitable crops that will make you money every year without a
failure. This is not a new and wild country, but is in the heart of
population, education and refinement. Land values are natural!
growing rapidly, and these farms that we are now offering you for
$35.00 an acre will bring $100.00 an acre before you realize it. We
make this statement regarding this territory because we are con
vinced of its coming greatness.
DO NOT COMPARE THIS LAND WITH
EXPLOITERS' PROPOSITIONS
The rainfall in this section is ample. The climate is all that could
be desirod. In fact, here everything that tends to success seems to
bo pretty well blended. Please do not compare our region in Florida
with the numerous localities now being exploited in the public press.
We are not a drainage proposition but our land is ready for you to
move on and we are glad for you to come as soon as possible. You
can immediately begin to grow crops from which .you in a very short
time can realize large profit. Our soil is a dark sandy loam and
is underlaid with a clay sub-Boil. We have water and rail trans
portation. We are within ten to twenty miles of the growing city
of Jacksonville. We want agents for this land and we want buyers.

voice from the tomb was a list
of 1904 campaign contributions to
the republican national committee,
given to the Clapp committee. Dust
of years was shaken from 'the list,
produced from a Chicago storage
vault by Elmer Dover, assistant re
publican secretary. It bared tho
secrets Treasurer Cornelius N. Bliss
sought to destroy on his death. It
was a duplicate of Bliss' accounts,
taken by Dover and kept for eight
years.
Listed are contributions of $250,
000 by George W. Perkins, $150,000
by J. P. Morgan & Co., $150,000 by
E. H. Harriman, $10,000 by H. H.
Rogers, of the Standard Oil company,
and a $10,000 contribution listed by
the initials "H. R. R., J. D. W.' The
first are Rogers' initials and the
other a part of John D. Archbold's.
Dover said be thought it referred to
the Standard Oil contribution.
The $250,000 credited to Perkins
was In several large sums, some be
ing listed to "G. W. P." which Dover
said he believed referred to Perkins,
and some were listed as "George W.
Perkins, committee."
Dover's presentation of the list
was the most dramatic climax of the
campaign probe It followed an
anti-climax of Medill McCormick in
denouncing "character assassins and
liars like Chairman Hilles, of the re
publican national committee, who in
cited weak minded men to actual assassination."
President Taft has signed an
executive order putting 35,000
fourth-class postmasters in tho clas
sified service.
United States Senator Weldon Brin
ton Heyburn of Idaho died m his
Washington apartments after a
lingering illness. He was sixty years
old and had been in the United States
senate nine years.

time it is en
tirely harmless,
and can bo used
by man, woman

dust and germ
laden air, just so
this balmy anti
septic smoking
remedy goes to
nil flin II tfnnt nA
frEoisTEBEtj parts of tho air
. ,, passages or tho

salves, liquid or tablet medicines fall
they do not and can 'not reach all the
affected parts.

throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches;
if you are-given to hawking and spit
ting, this simple but scientific treat
