.Thrilling Fight
with Savage Hog
Former Representative Harrison Has
Narrow Escape from Death in
Encounter.
NEBRASKA C1TT, Neb., Nov. 25. (Ppf
clal.) Slarfhall T. Harrison, who served
In the legislature as a representative be
tween Cass and Otoe counties and who Is
one of the largest stock raisers and farm
era of this county and who resides near
Dunbar, had a thrilling expertenee a few
days ago, which he will never forget and
In which he came near losing his life.
He bought several cars of hogs down In
Missouri some months ago to fatten and
put on the market and one of the "rail
splitters" got out of the pen and made
Jits escape Into a cornfield, where it was
allowed to remain for about six weeks.
Mr. Harrison finally concluded to go out
and try to locate the missing animal. Be
cause of the recent rain and wet spells
the ground was very soft and every step
he sank Into the earth from four to six
Inches. He located the animal near the
center of the field and no aooner had it
spied him than It started at him at full
speed. He ran for a short distance and
fell down, but managed to get to
his feft before the animal reached
him. He was chased about the field for
nearly half an hour but could not get
near the fence to get out of it reach.
Finally, feeling that he was giving out
he sidestepped as the wild animal made
for him and fell on Ita back and held fast.
They sank into the mud and he was
afraid to loosen his hold, knowing that the
animal would attack and perhaps kill him.
He held fast and yelled for help, but no
answer came, and this cry for help he
kept up for over two hours, when it at
tracted the attention of Oeorge Holmes,
a farmer reatdlng a mile and a half away.
He went to Investigate and rescued Mr.
Harrison, after tying the hog with a
halter whlclf he carried. Mr. Harrison
was confined to his bed for some day and
the hog ha been killed.

DRINK QUESTION PERSONAL,
DECLARES BOY MINISTER
Rev. Leonard TV. yiayder Points Oat
Davnarer of Too Btrlnajent
Reamlat Ion.
"The question of drink Is a question of
Individuality." laid Rev. Leonard W. Sny
der, D. D., of Cincinnati, O., known aa the
"Boy Minister." who Is here for a few
day on business, and Is stopping at
the Henahaw. "It Is not a national
Issue, a state, a county, nor even a local
one. No man haa the right to say to an
other man what he should eat or drink!
No one ha the right to ay to another one
how he must conduct his home. No Indi
vidual haa the right to tell another Indi
vidual what he must believe!"
Dr. Snyder takes the stand that unless
the liquor element of this state get to
gether and bring about co-operation and
harmony, eduoate the people to the real
points of the liquor traffic and point out
where too stringent regulation will be dis
astrous, Omaha and the entire etate of
Nebraska is bound to go prohibition be
fore many year elapse. Dr. Snyder takes
the view that every man 1 entitled to his
honest opinion and belief, be he preacher
or layman, and to this end make no se
cret of the fact that he favors saloons.

Some Sources of Profit for
The Farmer on This Land
The soil ha all the element necessary
for successful fruit growing, and the cli
mate Is most favorable. Rocky Ford, only
eight mllea away from our le.nd a thriving
place scarcely more than iwenty years old
has acquired a national reputation from
her frulta anl melon.. Over 1,300 cara of
these melons are shipped East each year:
many of them being shipped from our landa.
It haa been safely demonstrated that ap
ples, peara, peachea, cherries, plume, prunea
and the smaller fruits, such as grapes,
strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and
melon grow rapldlv and yield profitably.
The advantage of cultivating fruit under lr
rlgatlen la that you can get a crop every
year, and can realize from $100 te $(00 per
acre per year from that fruit. The high
price of all farm products her haa already
been referred to, and thla ;rlce can be ln
creaaed by early cultivation. Potatoes and
other vegetablei can be gotten to market
weeks earlier than from tii great aourcea
of supply of these products farther north
by reaaon of groater mlldnena of climate and
earlier aprlnga. There la not a month
In the winter that farming operations are
not carried on under or canal; and a day
that the aun does not shine is a great rar
ity even In winter. Alfalfa, the most nu
tritious of hays, grows luxuriantly. Three
cropa can be rown each ear, ranging
from four to alx ton ner icre The farm
era on the lands have male large profits
feeding cattle and sheip on alfalfa and
beet pulp during the winter and sending
them fat to market In the -prlng, and hogs,
sheep, turkeys and chickens thrive and
grow fat on this same alfalfa; and, of
course, with three crop of bloom per year,
bee are a very profitable Investment for
the farmer. From two -hree carlo id of
hor.ev are shipped out from our lands an
nually. Theae are some of the sources of
profit In farming on our lands.

l3ow, Rflr. Renter
Have you ever etoped to think that If you are renting land on shares
ind give the landlord one-half that you are working every other day
tor nothing? Isn't it a fact? Now Just consider this: You buy of us
80 acres at, say $8,000; you pay down f 1,600 cash, and f 800 each year
for eight years. We will now suppose that you put the entire 80 acres
In nothing but alfalfa.
What Is the Result?
Taking the minimum crop of Alfalfa of four tons per
acre at the low price of even $6 per ton (we are now
getting nearly $8), you have an income of $24 per
acre on 80 acres, or $1,920
Annual payment ' 800
Gross profit $1,120
Where can you equal this?
Our Guarantee
We realize that no man, be he a farmer or an investor, has a desire
to spend either his time or money foolishly; and to show that we mean
business and not misrepresenting any feature of our proposition, we
will deposit In your bank $50 subject tovyour order and in the event
that, after giving our land 4 8 hours' investigation, you will say wo
have misrepresented it, you may secure the $50 so that you would be
out nothing. Does this look fair?
