LETTER BOX.
R. E. Dale, Atlanta. Glad to wel
come you as a solver. Be careful about
notation. Whea a white piece is moved
you count from white's iide( the bot
tom In a diagram) ; and when a black
piece la moved, the count is from
black's side (the top ta diagrams).
Hence white's Q 4 Is black's Q 5, and
vice versa.
Geo. II. Walcott At the rate you're
turning out solutions. Mr. Oldham
must look to hia laurels. By the way,
Mr. O. thinks I'm too much of an allo
path lately the doses are too large.
1L W. Barry Thanks for the new
probs. Very fine. Will touch up that
plagiarism when we retch the solu
tions. Lee Edwards has been figuring on
probable results in the Iowa-Nebraska
match. Here is his prediction: Iowa
will win at boards 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10. 13, 18,
19 and 21; Nebraska will win at boards
4. . 9. 11. 12. 14, 17 and 20; and at
boards 2. 15. 16 and 22 the games will
be drawn; result. Iowa 12. Nebraska

Do

Would You Like to Own a
Home?
Will You Investigate a Practical Plan
For Securing One?
Inquiry Is made' by prospective
members not personally acquainted
with the management as to the relia
bility of the Independent Home Mak
ers Company, who composes the com
pany, what assurance have members
that the company will carry out the
plans as set forth In the prospectus.
We are glad to answer all such inquir
ies. Members have a right to know.
There have been so many fake schemes
practiced on the people that they are
rightly on their guard. A legitimate
enterprise requires no concealment and
we expect to answer all inquiries plain
ly and to the point.
The Independent " Home Makers
Company is a corporation organized
under the laws of the state of Ne
braska, having a capital stock of $75,
000. The officers of the company are
president,' Frank L. Mary; for two
terms chief clerk in the governor's
office of the state of Nebraska under
the IncTimbency of Governor Silas A.
Holcomb and continued in -the same
position during the term, of Governor
W. A. Poynter, a period of six years.
These gentlemen, if addressed at Lin
coln,, Neb., will testify as to his abil
ity and integrity.
The auditor and secretary of the
company is Charles Q. De France, for
three years recording clerk in the office
of the governor of Nebraska under
Governor Silas A. Holcoinb's adminis
tration and for the past two years
chief bookkeeper in the office of the
treasurer of the state of Nebraska dur
ing the latter term of Treasurer J. B.
Meserve, now of Hastings, Neb. These
gentlemen wi.- gladly testify as to Mr.
De France's honesty, trustworthiness
and reliability.
The vice president and treasurer of
the company is Colonel Frank D.
Eager, late lieutenant colonel of the
First Regiment, Nebraska volunteers
(the Fighting First), and publisher
and proprietor of The Nebraska Inde
pendent. Mr. Eager's reputation as a
successful business man is established
and requires no elaboration. He is well
fitted to help push our enterprise to a
successful irsue.
As a further guarantee of good faith
on our part, and to secure our mem
bers against loss and that their money
will bo applied for the purposes as out
lined in the company's prospectus, we
are now perfecting arrangements to
bond the company's treasurer in the
United States Fidelity and Guarantee
company of Maryland, a corporation
witn $1,50Q,000 cash capital. This
bond will be increased as the funds in
his hands require additional, security.
By civing this bond members are as
sured of the absolute safety of their
money, that it will be properly han
dled, leaving no ground for fear or
hesitancy. As our depository we have
selected the Columbia National bank
of Lincoln, Neb. Prospective members
may write to Dr. P. L. Hall, cashier of
the above bank, as to the honesty and
integrity of the officers of the com
pany. We want every one who ,jolns
us and places his hard-earned money
in our care to know that it will be ab
solutely safe, we want him to know
who he is dealing with, and when he
subscribes for location stock that he
is dealing with honorable and trust
worthy men. The company was or
ganized to give the people an oppor
tunity to secure homes for moderate
outlay, through mean3 of co-operation
of a large number. We guarantee
to our members to honestly and faith
fully fulfill all our pledges.
THE INDEPENDENT HOME MAK
ER'S COMPANY.
We are pushing the matter of or
ganization as fast as possible. An un
dertaking of the magnitude of ours re
quires careful preliminary prepara
tion in order that everything will work
out' smoothly. We are completing ar
rangements for the careful and abso
lutely safe handling of the funds en
trusted to us. Our members will be
thoroughly protected and to make all
absolutely safe we have concluded to
bond the company's treasurer in one
of the strongest guaranty bond com
panies of the country. There are so
many fake and irresponsible concerns
who through high-sounding and glar
ing word paintings catch and rob the
confiding out of their hard-earned
money and leave their victims strand
ed in the end, that it is well to make
sure who you are dealing with before
you entrust your savings into their
hands. Where you deal with a re
putable company composed of honor
able men you have no such risk to
run.
Let every reader of The Indepen
dent help us in securing worthy mem
bers such as he himself would like as
neighbors and we will in a short time
have sufficient and 'of the very best
class of people. The time when we
can close our books depends on the
people who wish to join us sending in
their applications. There are clubs
being formed now and altogether mat
ters are shaping very satisfactorily.
The sooner the membership is filled
the sooner we can become located and
get down to work. We confidently look
to be able to place our members on
their lands this fall or during early
winter. That would give members an
opportunity to do their building and
otherwise prepare for spring work.
But the .sooner the better, as we will
have a great deal of work to perform
before we will be ready for the mem
bers even after the location h,as been
selected.
We feel no small measure of satis
faction at the indorsement, our plan
of home-making is receiving from so
many whose judgment we prize, men
of long experience, such who endured
the privations of pioneer life of the
west, and are consequently in a posi
tion to appreciate the advantages to
be derived where large bodies settle In
the same locality at the same time, as
contrasted with where each one lo
ome?
a
cates by himself and for years is with
out neighbors and the benefits of a
modern, up-to-date community, with
good schools, churches and a thriving
city in their midst.
We had not hoped for such quick
and numerous responses in so short a
time after the first publication of our
plans and in consequence were partly
unprepared. After but two issues of
The Independent containing our offer
of homes to people of moderate means,
we confess the results are quite grati
fying, more so than we expected.
It will be Impracticable for us to an
swer by letter the thousands of com
munications received from prospective
members. ; Therefore, we shall endeav
or to make everything so plain and
simple that it will be unnecessary for
them to write : makin g further in
quiries. We shall aim to answer all
questions In a general way through
the coiv nns of the Nebraska Indepen
dent; and if every member will care
fully read The Independent each week,
he can thereby keep himself thorough
ly informed on all phases of the ques
tion. Watch for The Independent ev
ery week. Read every word about
the progress we are making. Your
question will be answered in some of
the articles about the Home Makers
Company.
From all sections come inquiries
from prospective , members. The sec
tions that have heretofore suffered
from an insufficiency of rainfall will
be recruiting grounds of home-makers,
especially so should the coming sea
son prove dry and unproductive.
Subscribers for location stock should
use the blank printed in another col
umn. Send money by postoffice order
or bank draft, made payable to the
Independent Home Makers Company.
It is not good business to send cur
rency in an ordinary letter. Fill in
all the blanks. We want to know
your occupation, whether you are mar
ried or single, and how many in your
family. Write your name in a plain
hand or) better still, print it. Names
are much harder to read than common
words; and no person likes to have his
name spelled Incorrectly.
.A large number of our correspon
dents express a desire that we locate
In one of the northwest Pacific coast
states. There are indeed many ad
vantages to thai section. We will
thoroughly investigate various locali
ties and select ftaly.. the one offering
the very best advantages. We are not
wedded to any particular place.
We wanVagoOjd. wide-awake, ener
getic man in every county to represent
the Home Makers Company. While no
fancy salaries can be paid, yet we are
willing to pay or personal work as
much as it would cost us to obtain
members through newspaper advertis
ing. Address, Independent Home Mak
ers Company, Lincoln, Nebraska.
r If you are one of the fortunate ones
possessed ' with a " comfortable home,
show our, plan :? to your friends or
neighbors who want and need a home,
and who under our system can secure
it at moderate outlay and immediately
enjoy the benefits of a well-settled
community.
Send in your application for the al
lottment you desire at once. Do not
delay, and thereby retard the speedy
formation of our organization, besides
you may come just a little too late.
Once in you are safe.
After having read the proposition of
the Independent Home Makers Com
pany hand or send The Independent to
some of your friends who are in need
of a home and call their attention to
the great opportunity here offered to
obtain one at moderate cost.
The men at the head of the Home
Makers Company .are well known
throughout the state of Nebraska
where all have forbears held positions
of prominence and responsibility.
The money you pay, for your loca
tion certificate will be secured by one
of the largest and safest guarantee
bond companies in the United States.
YOU HAVE NO RISK TO RUN; YOU
ARE ABSOLUTELY SAFE.

home-making enterprise. .
The Plan ;
Our books are now open for member
ship, and when a sufficient number
have .been secured the books' will be
closed and no more members accepted.
Provision is made to settle about
fifty thousand acres of good land..
When we have sold a sufficient num
ber of shares to take up this amount of
land we will sell no more. k We shall
then ' determine on our location, in
which we will be aided by a commit
tee selected from the members5 them
selves. When the location has been
made we shall then select the most de
sirable point nearest the center of the
tract and found and locate our city.
For this purpose 640 acres will be set
aside, surveyed and platted into busi
ness and residence lots. : The business
lots In the center and residence lots
surrounding them. We shall then be
gin at the city limits and for a short
distance out lay off five-acre tracts,
beyond these ten-acre tracts, then 20,
then 40, then 80 and farther out 160
acre tracts.
Each member should designate in
his application the kind of lots or the
size of the land tract he wishes to
take. A great many people desire bus
iness and residence lots, while others
will want city lots and small tracts ad
joining the city which, as- the city
grows (and this one will) can be laid
out into additions to the city and be
made to yield the owner handsome re
turns. Others will want the smaller
tracts for fruit raising and truck farm
ing. Others will take the 40, 80 and
160-acre tracts and later add more,
which they will be able to do, from the
company lands on long time and easy
terms.
LOCATION.
The settlement will be located In &
good farming country, with a good
healthy climate and good water. Then
with the good class of members we
will have it will make the neighbor
hood all that can be desired, and we
will have all these. It is the intention
to locate in a good section somewhere
in the Territory of Oklahoma; yet we
shall not bind ourselves to one local
ity and thereby be compelled to take
lands less desirable perhaps than in
some other locality. Besides we want
to be free to make our location where
It will be to the very best interests of
our members. The success of this
undertaking depends almost entirely
on the location , selected, consequently
the greatest care will be exercised by
the Home Makers Company with ref
erence to the location.
ALLOTTMENTS.
All allottments will be made by the
Home Makers Company on alternate
tracts. No poor or inferior lands will
be. allotted to members. If there
should be poor tracts they will be re
tained by the company and disposed of
for grazing purposes. Should a mem
ber be dissatisfied with his allottment
the company will try to exchange with
him for a better tract. We will aim
to please and satisfy all our mem
bers. RULES OF MEMBERSHIP.

FIRST PAYMENT OF LOCATION
STOCK.
Members are not required to make
complete payment down for such num
ber of shares of location stock as they
may desire. Yet, as a guarantee of
good faith, the Home Makers Company
finds it necessary to require a partial
payment down at the time application
is made.
The schedule of payments which
should accompany applications for
stock is as follows:
For twenty shares.. ....$100 00
For twelve shares.... 75 00
For eight shares.... 50 00
For five shares........ ........ 50 00
For three shares or less 25 00
Each applicant, at time of making
his application, should state the num
ber of shares he desires and the kind
of allottment. His name will then be
entered upon our books for such num
ber of shares and allottment and credit
given for the advance payment. The
unpaid balance is payable within thir
ty days afternotice is given by the
Home Makers Company that the se
lection of a location for the settlement
has been made. If, however, during
the time which intervenes between
making the first payment and the call
for final payment, some misfortune
should overtake the subscriber, he will
not lose the amount already paid in,
but may take such number of shares
and such allottment as the money he
has paid in will cover. For example.
you have sent in $100 and desire a
quarter section of land. If you can
not complete the payment of $400
more, or can raise $200, you can take
twelve shares and get an eighty-acre
allottment. Or, you can put In $100
and get eight shares and a forty-acre
allottment. Or, $25 and get five shares
and a twenty-acre allottment. Or, the
$100 already paid will entitle you to
four shares, which will give you a ten-
acre tract and a residence lot. In
any event you will not lose your ad
vance payment.

Uore of Curtis9 Lies
To .the Editor; In j his correspon
dence of yesterday Mr. Curtis says, in
writing about the meeting of the
Schley home fund committee, as fol
lows: "The treasurer can show only
i -o-t $6,000, oost of which was raised
by a Miss Edna McClellaii of New
York, by an- endless-chain arrange
ment. The young lady has not turned
over the funds, and, aa an, inducement
for her to do so, the committee have
tendered her a public , reception in
Washington" when . she brings them
over." . --r '
Th Washineton Post of March 24
reports and I find practically the
sama report in two Mew xorK papers
of the same date as follows: "A let
ter waa read from Miss McClellan. now
in Paris, stating that she would be 'n
Washington about the 9th or 10th of
next month, and will then turn over
the funds -that she has collected in
New York. The local committee de
cided to give her a public ; reception."
Mr. Curtis certainly must nave
known the facts in the case.' Yet he
thinks himself Justified In casting as
persions upon a lady's honesty. Par
tisanship, although strong enough -to
make a man victor In a battle wno
was many miles away at the time the
hattla was fousrht. should certainly
draw the line at questioning anybody's
personal honesty without proof.

Drug Taking Habit
The common ' sense practitioner
knows by experience that the con
stant, frequent prescribing of innum
erable drugs only ends in detriment to
his patients. A working knowledge
of hygiene and dietetics, climato-, hy
dro-, and mechano-therapeutlcs, sim
ple medication, and few drugs are the
successful agents in Internal medicine;
and the sooner the physician will con
dense his pharcacopoeia and materia
medica to a vest-pocket edition, the
more readily will his efforts meet with
success in the practice cf his profes
sion, and the sooner will the ' Chris
tian science" delusion disappear.
