Article 3.
Did you ever stop and figure the
interest you are receiving on your
investment when your money is in
high priced land. Land that is valu
ed at $150 to $200 per acre. Stop
and figure it out. You will find
you are considering your work and
expense, only getting about 5 per
cent on your investment. Then figure
cheaper western land at $50 per acre
and fifty bushels of corn to the acre
and see on which investment you are
drawing the most interest and you
will find the cheaper land far in the
lead.
Look over the western country and
buy yourself a home that you can
some day pay for. You will find the
people in this cheaper country as
well educated and refined as you will
find in the U. S. Hospitable, well to
do hustlers. Living costs you no
more. These farms can be bought
dose to the railroads, church, schools,
etc. If you want a home look for
reasonable priced land that produces.

I'ai'ni Deal 1m Closed.
It will be remembered that about
a year ago Mr. II. C. Long purchased
the farm directly opposite his pres
ent fine farm home west of Murray,
from the Wehrbein hers, which deal
was not fully completed until the last
few days, that is the full purchase
price being paid and the deed trans
ferred. TheBe latter rather Import
ant details were completed last week,
and now Mr. Long is In full posses
sion of the place. This is another
occasion where Mr. Long makes a
pretty lucky move, as the farm could
be sold today considerably in advance
of the price paid a year ago. The
farm contains 160 acres and will
make a valuable addition to Mr.
Long's farm. '
