Where Will Yon
Take It ?
This question often arises
after you have consulted the
best ( not the cheapest )
physican you know , and
have received hi prescrip-
tion.
It should go to the best
druggist you know-o n e
who will use only the right
leind of Dru&s and will not
try to fill it If he hasn't the
right kiud.
It should o to the druggist -
gist who will exercise the
greatest care in getting the
right drug and the quantity
and will go over his work
several times to be sure he
is right.
. We conduct our prescription -
tion business as the best !
druggist should , and this is I
an answer to the questiQJ1 ,
"where will you take it ? "

More Land Open
to Settlement
- - -
14,000 Acres of Government Land in
tbe Big Horn Basin , Wyoming ,
is Open for Settlemennt.
- -
'rhe Shoshone irrigation euter-
prise in the Big Horn Basin of
Wyoming on which the United
States fovernment is sptuding
$4,000,000 is being rapidly com-
pleted.
What is known as the Corbett
Tunnel , 11,000 feet long , has
just been completed and through
it , what is kuown as the Garland
Government canal will supply
water this spring to 14000 acres
of public land. This land is open
to homestead entry under the
usual rules modified by the provisions -
visions of the Reclamation Act.
Continuous residence is required
and practically nothing is charged -
ed for the land , the government
mcrely charging the ; 3ettler his
pro rata share of the cost to the
government of the irrigation
wodes.
In this particul r project this
amounts to $45.00 an acre , and
the settler IS expected to pay
$4.50 an acre per yea1\ and has
tcn years in which to pay the
full amount. These tcrms are. .
very favorable espeially : when it !
is remembered that no interest is
charged by the govcrnment on
the deferred payments.
'l'he government has prepared
plats showing the location and
size of each of th , farm units ,
anyone of' which the settler may
select.
This land is located aloug the.
Shoshone river in t'be heart of
the Big Horn Basin , which lies
between the Big Horn mountains
on the east and the main range
of the Rockies on the west , with
connecting mountain ranges
north and south. The situation
is well shcltered , the climate is
fine and the soil as rich as any in
America , and produces abundant
crops of oats , barley , wheat , potatoes -
tatoes , sugar beets , alfalfa and
garden truck. ' "Vater is plentiful -
ful and pure and there is plenty
of timber and coal.
Name Your Farm.
EDITOR RItPunr.tcAN :
Will you kindly grant me space
to give a few names of country
homcs in Custer county ?
Sevc.ral weeks ago the Lincoln
daily Star- copied an item from a
Beatrice paper asking "why
people did not give their country
homes a name ? 'l'liat it would
be much nicer to have the name
of their residence nn a letter , together -
gether with their own name ,
than to have a box number ,
when the Hural carrier made his
rounds with the daily mail ; that
it was an English custom , but
would be good for 1 S , too. "
Knowing that Custer county is
never behind in things that make
it distincUve and progressive , .
and a number of homes being. .
named , I concluded to see how
many could be called , on the spur
of the moment , and have prepared -
ed the following list from
memory :
"The Elms , " ten miles north of
Broken Bow , so named by the
beautiful elm grove on the place ,
is the home of William. D.
Grant. "The Forks" is the hem
of Ralph Johnson , also north of
town , and was so named bv the
many directions of the roads that
surround it , the road leading to
Broken Bow being the forIe-
handle. C. U. Richardson's
place near Arnold , in the extreme -
treme west part ot the county ,
is called "Ivanhoe" in honor of
Sir Walter Scott's book of that
name , and wb re all earth , trees
and flowers wear their suits of
Kendall green. The home of
Ernest Thompson near it , is
"Tarry Hill , " "Because , " says
Mrs. 'l'hompson , 'II want my
friends in passing to stop and
tarry with me a while. " "The
Heights" the home of Philip
Campbell , is very appropriatcly
namcd by the Loup ' river run-
ninl ! below "The 'Heights. "
IIBendemere , " the home of Will
H. Parker , was named for the
far-famed song , IIThere's
Bower of Roses by Bcndemere's
Stream. " The bower of roses
will be there if the stream isn't.
"Cedar View" IS tbe home of ,
Elgin Beal , wcst of town. It is a
lovely sloping lawn' completely
. . , .
. "
I set with cedars.IIFair View , " '
east of town , owncd by J. E. 'I
'Vilson , has two reasons for its
name. Oue is the vicw in all ( Ii-
rections is I.'AIR , and the othcr is
when thc Custer Couuty Fair is
in full sw ng , with no high fcnce
between , the } ' have n "fair
view" of the races and all things
going on. George 'Vaters hus
called their hOUlC after the bending -
ing willows and runniug watcr
near their house and so it is
"Willow Brook. " Elmer IIoga-
boom detennined that HtllOsc
who run may read even at : t
distance" and across the top of
his place in shining letters is the
name , ClOur Homc. " Near to
town is the cosy cottage of Wm.
GillingR , and "any old day" or
evening Broken Bowitcs can
drive clear through to ClAla-
bama" in half an hour and re-
ceivc a cordial welcome froUl
their host and hostess. "Thc
Light House" home of Mclvin
, Gibbs , we t of town , is well
named , for the light , as it
brightly gleams in the darkncss ,
is a beacon , guiding and lighting -
ing the wandercrs homc.
Without doubt there arc lUan ) '
olhers in the connt ) ' that have
namcs for their homes that is as
distinctly theirs as are their own
names and would like to hear
from them so we ould all havc
them safc-guarded as such.
