Farms and ranches of any nature desired from 40 acres to a section or more, aggregating several thousand acres, of as good land as any sold are still on the market. Good stock ranches, wheat farms, dairy ranches and diversified farms, whi.t ever you want can still be found. The value of Palmer Lands is now being generally recognized and judging by inquiries we believe that this opportunity will not Inst vvy long. Local people are beginning to see the values in Palmer Lanas and many successful farmers are buying. Palmer lands are an excellent investment in addition to their farm 'J3F y? ,ue" 71118 state must teke care of an ever growing population. Within ten years or, less these lands will undoubtedly sell at from $75 to $100 per aero if cleared and for $50 or more in raw state Palmer Lands are an opportunity for a man with small resources and an ideal investment for a man with means. . Palmer Lands are near a railroad. Wood and water is in abund ance. The altitude is low and the climate ideal. Last year proved their merits and dispelled all doubts. Why turn down such advantages. For an ideal home Palmer Lands cannot be beaten. INVESTIGATE AT ONCE j If interested, call and let us show PALMER explain further in detail.

He h'js purchased both hoars and sows from Mr. Corsa of Indiana, the best known breeder of Berkskives in the United States. Animals sired by Txmgfellow, Rivals Last, Matchless King, Fair- acres Chief, Pacific Longfellow and others as well known, have been used, and this herd is rich in these bloo.l lines. Corn. I find that a good many of the peo ple in this county, that Wave been ! growing corn, plant from the 10th to the middle of May. But season and location must also be taken into con sideration. It is the frost that we must look out for, and when danger of killing frost is past in your locality it is corn planting time. From 8 to 10 pounds of seed will plant an acre. So if you are planning on planting any of this crop, you had better fig- lire the amount of seed vou will need nrd order in the near future. You will get the best result with some of the hardier northern dent of flint varieties. Minn. 13 and Minn. 23 are two varieties that are well adapted to the, northwest. No. 13 makes mora fodder under ordinary conditions and is yellow dent variety. No. 23 is somewhlat, earlier maturing and a white dent variety. Northwestern dent is a red corn with a yellow cap. It makes much the same fodder and matures about the . same time the Minn. 13 does. Some of the yellow Appraisers Auditors strawbeMIes 20 La Grande Fruit and white flint corns are also good, but ordinarily they do not grow th louaer mat tne tent corns do. But : they are early maturing. i, w"-" fc rrap i ail. Along tne toot liills, or parts of the Sand Ridee. in certain places along the river anil creek bottoms corn has made a good showing. But to get the best results even under the most favorable condi tions we must select the ' htordier, earlier, varieties. That a few more years will see the building of numer ous silos to take care of the Union county com crop is evident in the in terest that is manifested and the well satisfied owners of silos.

Safe Medicine for. Children. "Is It safe?" is the first question to be considered when buying cough med icine for children. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has long been a favor ite with mothers of young children as" it contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be given to a child as eonf i- dontly as to an adult. It is pleasant to take, too, which is of great imnort. ance when a medicine must bo given to young children; This remedy is most effectual in relieving coughs, colds and croup. Obtainable every where. GOOD WORK Proper Food Makes Changes Marvelous Providence is sometimes credited with directing the footsteps by so simple a way as the reading of a food advertisement. A lady in Mo. writes, "1 was com pelled to retire from my school teach ing because I was broken down with nervous prostration. ' "I suffered agony in my back and was in a dreadfully nervous condition, irritable, with a dull, heavy headache continually, had no appetite and could scarcely digest anything. I. was un able to remember what I read and was, of course, unfit for my work. "One day, as if by providence, I read the testimonial of a lady whose symptoms were much the same as mine, and she told of how Grape-Nuts food had helped her, so I concluded to try it. "1 began with Grape-Nuts, a little fruit, and a cup of Postum. I steadily improved in both body and mind. Grtpe-Nuts has done more for me thim ail the medicine 1 haye ever tak en. I am now well again and able to . do anything necessary in my work. "My mind is clearer and my body stronger than ever before. "There's ' j a Reason." Name given by Postum rv n..fti rvi, Mi.i
