GET LAND NOW
The signs of the times tqll you that you will have to pay a lot
more for good farm lands within a year and that it as going to be
rnich harder than now for yoirto get hold of a Government ir
rigated farm in the Big Horn Basin.
THE NEW GOVERNMENT IRRIGATED FARMS AT DEAVER
Owing to war conditions it so happens that there are yet avail
able for homestead entry probably 50 Government irrigated farms
near Denver, Wyo., out of a total of 184 that were opened for settle
ment September 20th. These have excellent soil and are located on
our main line, adjoining the prosperous Government irrigated
localitv of Powell, Wyo. If you will take steps quickly, within
thirty'davs, you can secure one of these farms. Nothing like this
chance will occur on the Burlington Route for several months. Land
js free, 20 years payment no interest, for a permanent water right.
At the Government opening of this new locality $30,000 worth of
town lots at Denver, Wyo., were sold in one day and over 100 farms
were filed on.
Write me. I am paid to help you.

T was evening on the broad
Hempstead Plain, Long Island,
where the Rainbow division was
spending Its last night before embark
ing for France. It had been raining
hard In the afternoon a cold, steady
autumn downpour and there was
nothing to suggest the rainbow In the
outward aspect of the camp. Lines
and line of sodden canvas housed
27,000 men, gathered from 27 different
state. The ground was dotted with
pools and quagmires. Under the wet
canvas it was damp and cold, with a
penetrating chill. Lit by flickering
candles, the tents were far from cheer
ful shelter for a man's last night la
his native land.
But there ware seven big teat
where electric lights, number and
friendliness made the night pleasant.

In which to spend the night These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands of the soldiers. The im
