He seems Underwood Standard Typewriter A LEADER The principal of construction in the Underwood was found first in the Underwood, and every typewriter seeking business in the same field with the Underwood which has been put on the market since the advent of the Under wood, has been an imitation of, and in general appearance like, the Underwood. The last "Blind" advocates of importance have now fallen into line, and there is not to-day a single "blind writing" typewriter actively on this market. Recall all the arguments you have heard in past years by Underwood opposition, and you will realize what an advance agent of progress the Underwood has been; then bear in mind that the Underwood was the first fully "visible," has had tim to develope and improve, and is to-day the most perfect typewriter made.

Brillat-Savarlu. the author of 'The Physiology of Tnste." was the abso lute realization of the typical ood liver. The French revolution confis cated his property and removed uiui from bis office as civil judge, lie tied to Switzerland and then to the United States, where he played a fiddle in a New York theater to gain a living. His proierty was afterward returned to him, and he was made a counselor of the supreme court, an office he clung to successfully through changes of empire and kingdom. His "Physi ology of Taste" shared the fate of many celebrated books. It was re fused by several publishers and even tually was published at the author's expense, but without his name at tached to it, as be considered the na ture of the work incompatible with his Judicial functions. It was Brlllat-Savarln who declared that "the discovery of a new food does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star." "Monsieur the counselor," a hostess tsked him one day, "which do you pre fer, burgundy or bordeaux?" "Madame," replied the Judicial au thority, "that is a lawsuit In which I have so much pleasure In taking the evidence that I always postpone Judgment" DID YOU EVER hear of a washtaud that keeps it elf clean? Ours may ahnoat tie said to do that. Every part is so nicely made and adjusted that the smallest possible labor will keep it bright and dry.

Not only does this apply to the United States, but is world wide. In continental Europe the wells are failing; the streams are dry; stock is suffering. In some places in the United States, it is difficult to obtain soflieient water for stock, while in Canada the suffering is intense. No very large section of the world is favored with excess of moisture, or with sub-normal temerature. Western Kansas cannot claim special immunity, but can and does claim that she has an inexhaustible supply of water; her wells never fail and one pump can raise enough water to irrigate 40 acres of land every 24 hours hence we are practically not dependent on rain. Our rainfall is usually all sufficient to produce an abundant harvest but at times like this we have an emergency proposition, which, gives us the assurance that we can water our crops regardless of adverse weather conditions. A pump recently installed near Garden City, Kan sas, is pumping 4100 gallons per minute, at a cost of less than 25 cents per hour do you know what this means? It means that you can cover an acre of ground with 7.6 inches of water every hour. How would you like to be able to put two or three, or four inches of life giving water on some of your dying crops, at a cost of 10 or 15 cents per acre? Here in Western Kansas IF the rain fails, we CAN irrigate. Here our wells never go dry; our stock never suf fers. Isn't it worth while to consider? LAND: is the one and only commodity, which, occasionally flunctuates but always increases in value. During the time of depressed prices is the time to buy. Now is the time to buy, invest in land. The price of all lands must go up and the price of cheap land will double and trible in the very near future. Banks may break and stocks may become worth less, but a tract of land is yours and your assignes forever. The man who invests in land, can rest assured that he is the absolute owner of the same, that no one else has control of his investment, and while he reclines at ease, his wealth is increasing. Nearly all of the financial successes of the age, both great and small have been based on real estate, because real estate values always increase with the in flux of population. We now have the land at exceptionally low prices. Within the next year, we will have a wonderful in crease of population to Finney County, Kansas. There fore now is the time to invest. Karr & Newlon
