That wild burros in the Grind Can
yon of the Colorado are increasing
rapidly is the report from a ranger on
trie Tusa'yan National Forest, who
says that the little animals, in their
search for forage, are finding their
way to the top in such numbers as to
constitute a nuisance. According to
the Forest Ranger, there are already
thousands of the animals in the Grand
Canyon from Supai to the north of
tfrJe Little Colorado.

Captain his word of honor as to his
love for Necie, it was a case of man

Poleon Dureete made plain the in

He was fond of Necie, too, but he saw

All mills must increase their prices on rugs still more in the near future. European

the market conditions as they effect prices of CARPETS and RUGS.

Why Constipation Injures
The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of tho body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed into
the system, making you feel dull and
stupid, and interfering with the di
gestion and assimilation of food. This
condition is quickly relieved by Cham

YOU CAN FIND THE PLACE YOU WANT
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 diveisified farms, what 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 last
very long. Local people ore beginning to see the values in Palmer
Lands and many successful farmers nre buying.
Palmer lands are an excellent investment in addition to their farm
ing value. This state must take care of an ever growing population.
Within ten years or less these lands will undoubtedly soil at from
$75 to $100 jjer acre 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,
