A sure crop every year, and the
brightest prospect of doubling
your Investment in two years or
less. These farm3 are located in
the Box Elder valley, northern
Colorado.
There are six million dollars
invested in sugar beet factories
In this valley. Farms are pay
ing enormously, as they have a
sure crop and a big one every
year, ample water supply, 14
reservoirs, and moro than
enough. We are selling farms
in this valley at $50 and. $60 per
acre, and several have been
rented during the past year at
$10 per acre, cash rent, paying
20 per cent 0" ije investment.
Four miles down the valley
from where these farms are lo
cated, farms are selling at $150
to $200 per acre. Twenty miles
further south In the valley,
farms are selling at from $200
to $250 per acre, paying on this
valuation annually 20 per cent.
Land that we are offering is
equally as valuable when fully
developed and improved as the
farms that are selling at $250
per acre. We have yet about 6,
000 acres of this land to sell
with perpetual water right and
are of the opinion that, anyone
purchasing a farm in this val
ley will double his money with
in one year. We will certainly
have all of this land sold be
fore the first day of January.
Below are a few we have sold
farms to in the Box Elder Val
ley, Colorado, during iuC past
year, and all are pleased with
their investments:

When the Indians were brought to
trial who were charged in the news
papers as being on the warpath in
Wyoming every one of them was dis
charged. The statements The Inde
pendent made upon the first announce
ments of the trouble have all been
verified. Tho readers of this paper get

The sugar beet men are still howl
ing around Washington that "the in
dustry will be ruined." But the treaty
with Cuba will be confirmed and Ox
nard will go on with his beet sugar
factories as usual.
While Spain was in the business of
imperialism there was always a deficit
in her revenues and her debt grew
from year to year. Now that she has
gone out of imperialism the finance
minister reports a surplus of $G0,000,-

Foreign wage-workers are fleeing
from this country by the thousands
back to the old countries. A writer
describing the exodus as seen .n New
York city says: "Thousands of for
eign born persons are for various rea
sons returning to their native land
just now. Football rushes and old-
time cavalry" charges could not be
compared with the crush yesterday
afternoon when the Italian legions
swarmed around the pier at the foot
of Amity street."
Our commerce with the city of
Nome, Alaska, is greater than it is
with the whole of the Philippine isl
ands and does not consist of cargoes
of beer and supplies for an army and
a host of carpet baggers either. Dur
ing the year tne business between the
one city of Seattle vand Nome has
amounted to $19,000,000. American
manufacturers have found a market
for over $11,000,000 of goods in Nome
this year. But then there was free
trade, that terrible thing which makes
a republican turn pale every time It is
mentioned, between Nome and Seat
tle. If the same condition had ex
isted in regard to the Philippines, per
haps the story would be different.
The embryo republic at the Isthmus
should be named Teddyhay. Teddy
and his secretary of state are the only
cnes who have had anything to do
with it. Congress has never been
consulted.
The demoralization of which The

immorality in the upper class in Lon

the craze for gambling (they call it
bridge whist) to which the women arc
devoted. She says: "The worship of
bridge has produced as fierce a gam
bling fever as the Saaes de Jeux In
Monte Carlo." Then she adds: "All
men are not models of honor, and a
woman, be she of the type yclept
smart, has generally a string of ad
mirers following her comet-like
flights. From one or the other of these
iollowers she has to borrow. She dare
not confess to her husband, so she
puts herself under obligation to one
of her friends and as a rulo the day
of reckoning is more largely con
cerned with herself tnan her purse.
Lebts of honor between a man of the
world, an habitue of clubs and a

One of the dallies remarks that the

about enforcing the laws without fear

to which we have been accustomed for
many years. They will be enforced
against the poor and the rich will vio
late them without fear of punishment.
Nebraska goes Missouri one better.
Missouri can only boast of having in

George B. McClellan having been
elected mayor of Greater New York,
there will be a vacancy in the house

that he will again apr:ar in that body

The action of the Strenuous One In
regard to .ae new republic of Tcady-
hay on the isthmus Is creating a feel
ing of distrust, not only among the
South American republics, but also in
Canada. They look upon it as another
step in imperialism and each one fears
that its turn may come next. None
of these people are dazzled by the fine
phrases that have been used by the
president and his secretary of state.
They know that the object of the
whole movement is to annex that ter
ritory and that the little republics ly
ing' between the isthmus of Panama
and Mexico will soon do something
that it will make it the "duty" of the
United States In the course of Its
"destiny" to absorb them, after which
Canadians think that their turn will
come.

Scientists are still wondering over
the recent discoveries and forming all
sorts of theories. One of them won
ders why the defenders of miracles
as recorded in the New and Old Tes
taments have not made use of the X-
rays as illustration in defense of their
theories. These rays pass through
the hardest steel, the walls of build
ings,- though they be of- granite, and
even through mountains. Why might
not Christ have appeared in a closed
room and vanished after his reported
resurrection as well as these rays?
Then the question has arisen whether
electricity in any of its forms is mat
ter or not May not mind be of the
same substance as electricity? One
scientist speaks of Paul's ''spiritual
body" as follows: "Were not these
phenomena purely electrical? Was
not this new body aa electrical body
adapted to the realm of infinitude?
he idea .is not preposterous. Mod
ern science has discovered that elec
tricity is not matter."

Mr. Clark, aged thirty-five, is man
ager of the elevator in the town of Sa
lem. The position pays him a good
salary, enabling him to support his
family and lay aside about $200 per
year. - Though be is now living com
fortably, he realizes that he must de
vise some way of providing an Income
for his declining years.
Ills idea is to buy a farm. During
a period of meditation as to whether
or cot he shall purchase a certain quar
ter section of land which is for sale at
$5,000, he is interviewed by a represen
tative of the Old Line Bankers Life In
surance company of Lincoln, Nebraska,
who endeavors to Interest him In Life
Insurance.
Hardly does the agent get well start
ed, when he is interrupted by Mr. Clark
who tells him of his intention to buy
a farm. He states that he is about to
make a small payment on the purchase
price and will, if tbe agent can offer
anything better be an Interested
listener.
"Well," said the agent, "suppose you
buy a farm worth $5,000 by paying the
small sum of $175.25 annually without
interest, for twenty years, the con
tract for same containing a clause spe
cifying that, should you die at any
time, the party from whom you buy
the land will cancel all deferred pay
ments, aiid give your estate a cleat
title; or If you live to the maturity of
the contract, give you not only the deed
to the land, but pay you as large a per
centage of profit as you could reason
ably expect to make from the property.
Would you buy a farm - on those
terms?"
Of courSe Mr. Clark was interested,
and since the Company secures each
and every contract issued with a de-
!osit of approved securities with the
State of Nebraska, he expressed a will
ingness to become a party to such an
agreement.
"Well," continued the agent, "if yon
w'll pay annually to the Old Line Bank
ers Xife Insurance Company- of Ne
braska the 6um of $175.25 they will, if
you die at any time, pay to whom yon
may name the sum of $5,000. If you
live twenty years, they will give you a
cash settlement consisting of the guar
anteed reserve and an estimated sur
plus, amounting to $5,491.25. You will
readily see that you receive $1,986.25
more than you pay in, which is better
than four per cent compound IntereRt,
Then, too, having the assurance that,
should you die, you would leave a com
fortable estate." Mr. Clark bought the
Insurance, and what Mr. Clark did you
can do.
Permit our agent to explain a con
tract to you. If you do not own all
the land you care to farm, ask for cir
cular No. 1 which ahows "How Jones
Houhgt and Paid for a $C.0C0 farm."
If you have a mortgaged farm, call for
Circular No. 2. which shows "llovr
Samuels Paid a $2,000 Mortgane."
