10I0A and follow the Instructions

a reminder of every Item of Income,

or deductions n person may secure free
advice and aid from tho nearest Inter
nal Revenue olllce.

FARMS
WE have 150 of the best farms in Wichita County,
Kansas, for sale. These tracts of land are divided into 100
acre tracts, 320 acre tracts, G10 acre tracts, 800 acre tracts
and one tract of 2000 acres. There are all smooth, of the
best of soil. Wheat lands. You can take a tractor and
drive right around them and plow every acre. We can
furnish you these lands at from $17.50 to $30.00 an acre
9
depending on the distance from the county seat and rail
road station. In 1919 there were probably 1000 quarter
sections sold in Wichita county. The price is going up.
If you are interested in some of the best farms and farm
lands in the west call on us.
BKllJUllNli IHLLAMAiAl"
Between the Farm and the Market
flAVE you ever stopped to figure what makes the difference between the value
of two farms one which is located 5 to 10 miles from town and the other
only one mile? The land may have the same productive qualities yet the farm
nearer town will command a higher price per acre.
THE PRINCIPAL REASON is that it will JCOST MORE to DELIVER
its probucts TO THE MARKETS. Long Hauls require more time.
You can CUT THIS DISTANCE one half or one third by adopting the
RIGHT kind of TRANSPORTATION. Besides deriving yearly profits you
you increase the value of your farm.
The motor atipt.d must be of a type SUITABLE, FOR THE FARM. A
cumbersom, slow moving truck is little better than the old team and wayon.
Thousands of fa.-n. -, have found the IDEAL TRUCK for their purpose is the
REG 'SPEED WAGON'
There are nearly ''O.OOO in use today more "REOS" than nny other truck
The "SPEED WAGON" meets the demands of the fanner because it enables
